SERvICE ENGINE
SOON
Illuminates briefly when
the ignition is turned on. If it remains
on or is blinking after the engine is
started, the on-board diagnostics
system (OBD-II) has detected a
malfunction. Drive in a moderate
fashion and contact your authorized
dealer as soon as possible.
ABS WARNING
Illuminates briefly when the
ignition is turned on. If the
light remains on or continues to flash,
a malfunction has been detected.
Contact your authorized dealer as
soon as possible and have the system
serviced. Normal braking (less ABS)
is still functional unless the brake
warning light
is also illuminated.
AIRBAG
READINESS
Illuminates briefly when
the ignition is turned on. If this light
fails to illuminate, remains on or
continues to flash after the engine
is started, contact your authorized
dealer for service as soon as possible.
A chime will also sound if there is a
malfunction in the indicator light.
LOW TIRE
PRESSURE
WARNING
Illuminates when your tire
pressure is low. If the light remains
on, the tire pressure should be
checked. If the light does not turn
on at ignition or begins to flash,
contact your authorized dealer as
soon as possible.
PUSH BUTTON
START
Your vehicle is equipped
with a push button start
system which allows you to
start your vehicle by simply
pressing the ENGINE START
button while pressing the

intelligent access (IA) key is
present inside the vehicle or
in the trunk.
HAZARD fLASHER
LOCATION Of SPARE
TIRE AND TOOLS
Your vehicle is equipped with a
temporary spare tire. The spare
tire and jack are located under
the carpeted floor panel in the
rear of the vehicle. (Your vehicle
is equipped with a third row seat
that is stowed in the floor, you will
need to unstow the seat in order
to access the tire and jack.) The
tire is designed for emergency use
only and should be replaced as
soon as possible.
If your vehicle is equipped with
a towing package, you will also
have a
Temporary Mobility Kit
.
It is recommended that vehicles
with towing packages use the
temporary mobility kit instead of
the spare. The temporary mobility
kit is located under the driver’s
seat. To remove the mobility
kit, move the driver’s seat fully
forward and undo the Velcro
®
strap that attaches it to the rear
of the seat frame. The kit contains
an air compressor to reinflate the
tire and a sealing compound that
will seal most punctures caused
by nails or similar objects. Do not
attempt to repair large punctures
or damage to the tire’s sidewall.
The mobility kit provides a
temporary seal allowing you
to drive up to 120 miles (200 km)
at a maximum speed of 50 mph
(80 km/h). After sealant use, the
TPMS sensor and valve stem on
the wheel must be replaced by
an authorized Ford dealer.
Note:
The sealant in the canister
is to be used for one tire only.
See your authorized dealer for
replacement canisters.
ROADSIDE
ASSISTANCE
Your new Lincoln MKT comes
with the assurance and
support of 24-hour emergency
roadside assistance. Roadside
assistance includes such
services as: lockout assistance,
limited fuel delivery, battery
jump starts, changing a flat tire,
towing, and winch out.
To receive roadside assistance
in the United States,
call 1 (800) 241-3673. In Canada,
call 1 (800) 665-2006.
TIRE
PRESSURE
Check your tire pressure at
least once a month and before
long trips (including spare). The
recommended specifications
are on the Safety Compliance
Certification Label or Tire Label
located on the B-Pillar or the
edge of the driver’s door. 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 more information.
EASY fUEL
TM
fUEL SYSTEM
With this system, you simply press
open the fuel filler door, insert the
nozzle and begin fueling. Wait five
seconds from the time the refueling
nozzle is shut-off until the nozzle
is pulled back out of the fill pipe
to allow residual fuel in the nozzle
to drain into the tank. It is self-
sealing and therefore protected
against dust, dirt, water, snow
and ice. To use a portable fuel
container, slowly insert the fuel
funnel (located in the spare tire
compartment), and pour the fuel
into the funnel. When done, clean
the funnel or properly dispose of
it. Extra funnels can be purchased
from your authorized dealer.
Do not
use aftermarket funnels as they
will not work with the Easy Fuel™
system and may cause damage.
fUEL TANK
CAPACITY/fUEL INfO
Your vehicle has a fuel tank
capacity of 18.6 gallons (70.4L).
Your vehicle will run normally on
87 octane regular fuel. Premium
fuel will provide improved
performance. Do not use E85
fuels because your vehicle was
not designed to run on fuels with
more than 10% ethanol.
If you have a 3.5L V6 EcoBoost™
engine, your vehicle is designed
to run on regular fuel with an
octane rating of 87 or higher.
For best overall performance,
premium fuel with an octane rating
of 91 or higher is recommended.
The performance gained by
using premium fuel will be most
noticeable in hot weather or in
severe duty applications such as
towing a trailer. Some stations
offer fuels posted as ‘Regular’
with an octane rating below 87,
particularly in high altitude areas.
Fuels with octane levels below 87
are not recommended for either
engine. Do not be concerned if
your engine sometimes knocks
lightly. However, if it knocks
heavily while you are using
fuel with the recommended octane
rating, see your authorized dealer
to prevent any engine damage.
