LINCOLN CONTINENTAL 2019 Owners Manual

9. The vehicle jacking points are shown
above, and are depicted on the yellow
warning label on the jack. WARNING: Do not attempt to change
a tire on the side of the vehicle close to
moving traffic. Pull far enough off the road
to avoid the danger of being hit when
operating the jack or changing the wheel. 10. Position the jack so that the vehicle
downward flange rests in the jack
saddle. Use the lug wrench and turn
the jack nut clockwise. When the flat
tire is off the ground, remove the lug
nuts with the lug wrench. 11.
Replace the flat tire with the spare tire,
making sure the valve stem is facing
outward. Reinstall the lug nuts until the
wheel is snug against the hub. Do not
fully tighten the lug nuts until the wheel
has been lowered.
12. Lower the wheel by turning the jack handle counterclockwise. 13. Remove the jack and fully tighten the
lug nuts in the order shown. See
Technical Specifications (page 371). 368

14.
Fold up the wrench and re-attach to the
jack. Re-position the jack and wrench
assembly into the original vehicle
position and secure with the plastic
wing nut. Securely fasten the jack
before you drive.
15. Unblock the wheel and pick up the warning triangle.
Stowing the flat tire
You cannot store the full-sized road wheel
in the temporary spare tire well.
1. Find the flat tire retainer strap tucked inside the jack channel. Slide the
carpeted load floor into position. 2.
Stow the flat tire in the cargo area on the
load floor with the wheel facing up.
Secure the flat tire with the retainer strap
by following the next steps. 3. Locate the rear left side and right side
cargo tie-down rings. Push the loop end
of the retainer strap through one cargo
tie-down ring. Thread the non-loop end
through the loop.
4. Weave the retainer strap through the wheel openings.
5. Locate the cargo tie-down in the opposite
rear corner of the cargo area. Thread the
retainer strap though the tie-down and
pull tight.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Wheel Lug Nut Torque Specifications
WARNING: When installing a wheel, always remove any corrosion, dirt or foreign ma\
terials present on the mounting surfaces of the
wheel or the surface of the wheel hub, brake drum or brake disc that contacts the wheel. Make sure that any fasteners that attach the rotor
to the hub are secured so they do not interfere with the mounting surfac\
es of the wheel. Installing wheels without correct metal-to-metal
contact at the wheel mounting surfaces can cause the wheel nuts to loose\
n and the wheel to come off while your vehicle is in motion,
resulting in loss of control. Ib-ft (Nm)
