a clear, protective coating over them which requires
special care. Use only Motorcraft Deluxe Leather and
Vinyl Cleaner (ZC-11-A).
Do not use any household cleaning products or
oil/petroleum-based conditioners as they may cause
premature ageing.
Location of Spare Tire and Tools
– The spare tire and
jack are located in the trunk below the carpeted floor
panel. The necessary tools are contained in the tool
bag. For complete details on how to change your
tire, refer to the Roadside Emergencies chapter in
your Owner’s Guide.
Fuses
– If the vehicle’s electrical components are not
operating, a fuse may have blown. The fuse panel is
located below the instrument panel on the driver’s
side; remove the cover to view the fuses. Additional
fuses are located in the power distribution box in
the engine compartment. For more information
regarding changing fuses, refer to the Roadside
Emergencies chapter in your Owner’s Guide.
Fuel Type and Tank Capacity
– Your fuel tank can
accommodate approximately 17.5 gallons (66L) of
gasoline. Your vehicle is designed to use unleaded
gasoline with an (R+M)/2 octane rating of 87. Using
gasoline with a lower octane rating may degrade
performance.
Tire Pressure
– Your vehicle’s tire pressure
specifications are found on the vehicle’s Safety
Compliance Certification Label or Tire Label located
on the driver’s door jamb. Check your tires for proper
air pressure monthly; Use a tire gauge to check
the tire inflation pressure, including the spare (if
equipped), at least monthly and before long trips.
Always use an accurate tire pressure gauge.
Check the tire pressure when tires are cold, after
the vehicle has been parked for at least three
hours or has been driven less than three miles
(5 km). (As you drive, the temperature in the tire
warms up, increasing the tire pressure.) Improperly
inflated tires can affect vehicle handling and can
fail suddenly, resulting in a possible loss of vehicle
control. As an added safety feature, your vehicle
has been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring
system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure
warning light when one or more of your tires
is significantly under-inflated. Refer to the Tires,
Wheels and Loading chapter in your Owner’s Guide
for further information.
Fuel Pump Shut-Off Switch
– The fuel pump shut-off
switch stops the electric fuel pump from sending
fuel to your engine when your vehicle has sustained
a substantial jolt. The switch is located in the
passenger’s footwell, in the right upper corner. For
more information regarding the fuel pump shut-off
switch, refer to the Roadside Emergencies chapter in
your Owner’s Guide.
Roadside Assistance
– During your Lincoln MKZ’s
limited warranty period, the assurance and support
of a 24-hour emergency roadside assistance
program is included. Roadside assistance includes
such services as fuel delivery, tire changes, jump
starts, winch outs, help when you are locked out of
your vehicle, and towing. Complete your roadside
assistance identification card and keep it handy
(such as in your wallet) for quick reference. This
identification card is located in your Owner’s
Information portfolio.
To receive roadside assistance in the
United States, call
(800) 521-4140.
