Motorola and Lincoln Create Next-Generation Telematics Systems

Ford Motor Company's First Digital Telematics System in North America Provides
            Drivers With the Latest in Technology and Convenience

    ELK GROVE VILLAGE, Ill., Aug. 29 Motorola ,
together with Ford Motor Company , announced today that Motorola is
the exclusive provider of the new Lincoln Vehicle Communications System (VCS),
an integrated communication and telematics system, available on model year
2002 Lincoln cars.

    "The Motorola Timeport(TM) integrated hands-free phone and telematics
system provides Lincoln drivers with an enhanced communications experience,
typical of the luxury they expect from Lincoln," said Ray Sokola, corporate
vice president and general manager for Motorola's Telematics Communications
Group, a unit of the Automotive Communications and Electronic Systems (ACES)
Group. "We are excited about the opportunity to work with Lincoln, as they
offer the latest Motorola technology to their drivers."

    Offered as an option on the 2002 Lincoln LS, Town Car and Continental
models, the VCS features location-based satellite global position system (GPS)
route guidance, roadside assistance, emergency assistance and automatic crash
notification, all of which provide drivers with a link to information,
security and peace-of-mind.  The Lincoln VCS also incorporates a hands-free
voice recognition system that allows drivers to use simple verbal commands for
digit or pre-set name dialing, such as, "Call Bill Smith," and personalized
information, both available in conjunction with Sprint PCS Voice Command.

    The Motorola Timeport phone operates on the Sprint PCS nationwide network
for personal hands-free calling, information and SOS calls when docked.  The
fully integrated, portable phone can be used both in and out of the vehicle.
Once docked, the phone automatically connects with the vehicle's electronics
and audio system, enabling a range of VCS services.  Other integration
advantages include hands-free sending and receiving of calls through the
steering wheel controls or the audio system, while the integrated microphone
allows for clear and easy conversation that makes it possible for drivers to
keep their hands on the wheel and eyes on the road.  Each of these features
was designed to assist drivers in fulfilling their primary task of driving
responsibly.

    "Motorola's expertise, resources, and broad telematics portfolio, combined
with their commitment to performance, helped us deliver the latest telematics
offering to our customers," said Jamie Allison, chief program manager of Ford
Motor Company's Wireless Mobility Group. "Since teaming with Motorola in 1995
to introduce the RESCU(TM) (Remote Emergency Satellite Cellular Unit) system,
we have continued to evolve the telematics technology to provide our drivers
with peace-of-mind at the touch of a button, coupled with an integrated system
for personal calling -- exactly what customers expect from Lincoln."
