Tire Sealant and Inflator Kit*
The kit is located under the load floor in the rear cargo area. The kit consists of
an air compressor to re-inflate the tire and a canister of sealing compound that
will effectively seal most punctures caused by nails or similar objects. This kit
provides a temporary tire repair. For complete details, refer to the
Wheels and
Tires
chapter of your
Owner’s Manual
.
Fuel Tank Capacity/Fuel Info
For vehicles with front wheel drive, the fuel tank capacity is 18.4 gallons (69.5
liters). For vehicles with all wheel drive, the fuel tank capacity is 18.5 gallons (70
liters). We recommend regular unleaded gasoline with a pump (R+M)/2 octane
rating of 87. To provide improved performance, we recommend premium fuel for
severe duty usage such as trailer towing. Use only UNLEADED fuel or UNLEADED
fuel blended with a maximum of 15% ethanol and a minimum octane rating of 87.
Do not use any other fuel because it could damage or impair the emission
control system.
Open Window Buffeting
You may hear a pulsing noise when just one of the windows is open. Lower the
opposite window slightly to reduce this noise.
Refueling
When refueling your vehicle:
1. Make sure the ignition is switched off.
2. Fully open the fuel door.
3. Insert the fuel filler nozzle into the fuel system up to the first notch, and leave
the nozzle inserted and resting against the cover of the fuel tank until you are
done pumping.
4. Make sure you keep the fuel pump nozzle in a level position when refueling
or it may impact the flow of the fuel. Improper position can also cause the
fuel pump to shut off before the fuel tank is full.
5. When you finish refueling, slowly raise and remove the fuel pump nozzle.
Fully close the fuel door.
If you are refilling your tank from a fuel container, make sure you use the fuel
filler funnel included with your vehicle. Using an aftermarket funnel may not
work with the capless system and could cause damage to your vehicle. For
more information and for your fuel filler funnel location, please see the
Fuel and
Refueling
chapter of your
Owner’s Manual.
Towing Your Vehicle
Towing your vehicle behind an RV or any other vehicle may be limited. Refer to
the
Towing the Vehicle on Four Wheels
section in the
Towing
chapter of your
Owner’s Manual

Essential Features
Lincoln Drive Control
*
Lincoln Drive Control delivers the Lincoln driving
experience through a suite of sophisticated
electronic vehicle systems.
These systems continuously monitor your driving
inputs and the road conditions to optimize ride
comfort, steering, handling, powertrain response and
sound. You can preset your preferences for these
systems within the information display.
These systems have a range of modes from which
you can choose in order to customize your ideal
driving experience:
Comfort
– Provides a more relaxed driving
experience, maximizing comfort. Your steering
effort decreases and the suspension movement
is more fluid. Comfort mode is ideal when you
desire enhanced traveling comfort.
Normal
– Delivers a balanced combination
of comfortable, controlled ride and confident
handling. This mode provides an engaging
drive experience and a direct connection to the
road without sacrificing any of the composure
demanded from a luxury vehicle.
Sport
– Provides a sportier driving experience.
The suspension stiffens with an emphasis on
handling and control. The engine responds
more directly to your inputs and takes on a more
powerful tone. Sport mode is ideal for use during
more spirited driving.

the paddles on your steering wheel to change gears
without a clutch.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System
The tire pressure monitoring system allows you
to view the tire pressure readings through the
information display. When one or more of your tires
are under-inflated, your vehicle turns on the low tire
pressure warning light
in the instrument cluster.
If this happens, stop and check your tires as soon as
possible. Inflate them to the proper pressure. Refer
to the
Wheels and Tires
chapter of your
Owner’s
Manual
for more information.
