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,

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. For more
information, refer to the Roadside
Emergencies chapter in your
Owner’s Guide.
ROADSIDE
ASSISTANCE
Your new Lincoln MKT comes
with the assurance and support
of 24-hour emergency roadside
assistance. To receive roadside
assistance in the United States,
call 1 (800) 521-4140. 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
®
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.
