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.
