Integrated Keyhead

Transmitter (IKT) and

Remote Entry System

Features

Your vehicle

hold

until the two front

windows and panoramic roof

begin to open. If any other

remote entry transmitter

control is pressed during

the opening operation, both

windows and the panoramic

roof will stop opening.

Adaptive Headlamps

The headlamp beams move

in the same direction as

the steering wheel, which

provides more visibility

when driving around curves.

The system has a power-up

movement check feature.

When the vehicle is started,

the lamps track left to right,

then back to center to alert

the driver that the system is

working properly.

Memory Feature

your driver’s seat and exterior

mirrors position. To set,

SecuriLock™

The SecuriLock™ passive

anti-theft system is an

engine immobilization

system. This system is

designed to help prevent the

engine from being started

unless a coded Integrated

Keyhead Transmitter (IKT)

programmed to your vehicle

is used. Using the wrong

type of coded key may lead

to a “no start” condition. The

anti-theft indicator

in the

instrument cluster will flash

to indicate the SecuriLock

system is functioning as a

theft deterrent when the

ignition is turned off.

Autolock/Autounlock

Autolock automatically locks

all vehicle doors when all the

doors are closed, the ignition

is in the RUN position, you

shift into any gear that puts

the vehicle into motion,

and the vehicle is moving

above 12 mph (20 km/h).

Autounlock automatically

unlocks all the doors when

the vehicle has been traveling

above 12mph (20 km/h),

comes to a complete stop,

and the driver door is opened

within 10 minutes of the

ignition being turned off.

Note: For instructions on

disabling autolock, please

refer to your Owner’s Guide or

see your authorized dealer.

Rear Cargo Management

Reverse Sensing System

The RSS detects obstacles up

to 6 feet (2 meters) from the

rear bumper with a decreased

coverage area at the outer

corners of the bumper. As you

move closer to the obstacle,

the rate of the tone increases.

When the obstacle is less than

10 inches (25 cm) away, the

tone will sound continuously.

If the RSS detects a stationary

or receding object further

than 10 inches (25 cm) from

the side of the vehicle, the

tone will sound for only

three seconds. Once the

system detects an object

approaching, the tone will

sound again.

push the button on the

instrument panel, press

remote entry transmitter (IKT)

control twice, or push the

button under the center of

the license plate lamp shield.

allow the power system

to open the liftgate after

pushing the control. Manually

pushing or pulling the liftgate

may activate the systems

obstacle detection feature

and stop the power system.

Do not open the liftgate in a

garage or other enclosed area

with a low ceiling.

To close the

liftgate, press

and release

the control

located in the

left rear quarter panel or pull

down the liftgate a few inches

to activate power closing.

tank can accommodate

19.3 gallons (73.1 L) of

gasoline; all-wheel drive

can accommodate 20.8

gallons (78.7 L). 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.

Location of Spare Tire

and Tools

The spare tire and jack are

located in the cargo area

below the carpeted floor

panel. The lug nut wrench

is 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

of your Owner’s Guide.

Tire Pressure

Monitoring System

Using radio-frequency

pressure sensors, this system

monitors tire pressure on all

road tires and provides the

driver with a yellow warning

light when air needs to be

added. The Message center

provides additional warning

messages. The TPMS warning

light will reset itself (turn

off ) after the tires are set to

specification and the vehicle is

driven above 20 mph (32 km /

h) for at least 2 minutes. Note:

Outside temperature affects

tire pressure. Please refer to

your Owner’s Guide.

Tire Pressure

Your vehicle’s tire pressure

specifications are found

on the vehicle’s Safety

Compliance Certification

Label located on the driver’s

door jamb. Check your

tires for proper air pressure

monthly; check the air

pressure in your spare tire

every six months. 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. (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. Refer to the Tires,

Wheels and Loading chapter

in the 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 behind

the panel on the left side

of the cargo area. For more

information regarding the fuel

pump shut-off switch, refer

to the Roadside Emergencies

chapter of your Owner’s

Guide.

Rear Window Buffeting

When one or both of the

rear windows are open, the

vehicle may demonstrate a

wind throb or buffeting noise;

this noise is common among

a wide range of vehicles and

can be eliminated by simply

lowering a front window

approximately two to three

inches.

During your Lincoln MKX’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.
