engine LINCOLN MKZ HYBRID 2013 Repair Manual

BREAKING-IN
You need to break in new tires for
approximately 300 miles (480
kilometers). During this time, your
vehicle may exhibit some unusual
driving characteristics. The engine also
needs to break in. Avoid hard
accelerations and driving too fast for
the first 1000 miles (1600 kilometers).
If possible, avoid carrying heavy loads
up steep grades during the break-in
period.
ECONOMICAL DRIVING
Fuel economy is affected by several
things such as how you drive, the
conditions you drive under and how
you maintain your vehicle.
There are some things to keep in mind
that may improve your fuel economy:
•
Accelerate and slow down in a
smooth, moderate fashion.
• Drive at steady speeds.
• Anticipate stops; slowing down
may eliminate the need to stop.
• Combine errands and minimize
stop-and-go driving.
•When running errands, go to
the furthest destination first
and then work your way back
home.
• Close the windows for high-speed
driving.
• Drive at reasonable speeds.
(Traveling at 65 mph/105 kph uses
about 15% less fuel than traveling
at 75 mph/121 kph). •
Keep the tires properly inflated and
use only the recommended size.
• Use the recommended engine oil.
• Perform all regularly scheduled
maintenance.
There are also some things you may
want to avoid doing because they
reduce your fuel economy:
• Avoid sudden or hard
accelerations.
• Avoid revving the engine before
turning off the car.
• Avoid long idle periods.
• Do not warm up your vehicle on
cold mornings.
• Reduce the use of air conditioning
and heat.
• Avoid using speed control in hilly
terrain.
• Do not rest your foot on the brake
pedal while driving.
• Avoid carrying unnecessary weight
(approximately 1 mpg [0.4
kilometers/liter] is lost for every
400 lbs [180 kilograms] of weight
carried).
• Avoid adding particular
accessories to your vehicle (e.g.
bug deflectors, rollbars/light bars,
running boards, ski racks).
• Avoid driving with the wheels out
of alignment.
DRIVING THROUGH WATER
Note: Driving through deep water
above the recommended levels can
cause vehicle damage.
247
MKZ (CC9) Driving Hints

If driving through deep or standing
water is unavoidable, proceed very
slowly. Never drive through water that
is higher than the bottom of the wheel
rims (for cars) or the bottom of the
hubs (for trucks).
When driving through water, traction
or brake capability may be limited.
Also, water may enter your engine
’s
air intake and severely damage your
engine or your vehicle may stall.
Once through the water, always dry
the brakes by moving your vehicle
slowly while applying light pressure
on the brake pedal. Wet brakes do not
stop the vehicle as quickly as dry
brakes. FLOOR MATS WARNINGS
Always use floor mats that are
designed to fit the foot well of
your vehicle. Only use floor mats that
leave the pedal area unobstructed.
Only use floor mats that are firmly
secured to retention posts so that
they cannot slip out of position and
interfere with the pedals or impair safe
operation of your vehicle in other
ways. Pedals that cannot move freely
can cause loss of vehicle control
and increase the risk of serious
personal injury. Always make sure that the floor
mats are properly attached to
the retention posts in the carpet that
are supplied with your vehicle. Floor
mats must be properly secured to
both retention posts to ensure mats
do not shift out of position.

Do not attempt to push-start your
automatic transmission vehicle.
Automatic transmissions do not have
push-start capability. Attempting to
push-start a vehicle with an
automatic transmission may cause
transmission damage.
Preparing Your Vehicle
Note:
Use only a 12-volt supply to start
your vehicle.
Note: Do not disconnect the battery
of the disabled vehicle as this could
damage the vehicle's electrical system.
1. Park the booster vehicle close to the hood of the disabled vehicle
making sure the two vehicles do
not touch. Set the parking brake
on both vehicles and stay clear of
the engine cooling fan and other
moving parts. 2. Check all battery terminals and
remove any excessive corrosion
before you attach the battery
cables. Ensure that vent caps are
tight and level.
3. Turn the heater fan on in both vehicles to protect from any
electrical surges. Turn all other
accessories off.
Connecting the Jumper Cables
Your vehicle has two battery prongs
that are accessible from under the
hood, even though the actual battery
is located in the trunk. Your vehicle
can be jumped the same way
conventional vehicles can be using
these prongs. The illustration below
shows the two connector prongs used
for jump-starting your vehicle.
252
MKZ (CC9) Roadside Emergencies

1. Connect the positive (+) jumper
cable to the positive (+) prong (B)
of the discharged battery.
2. Connect the other end of the positive (+) cable to the positive
(+) terminal of the assisting
battery.
3. Connect the negative (-) cable to the negative (-) terminal of the
assisting battery.
4. Make the final connection of the negative (-) cable to the negative
(-) prong (A) of your vehicle.
Note: Do not attach the negative (-)
cable to fuel lines, engine rocker covers,
the intake manifold or electrical
components as grounding points. WARNING
Do not connect the end of the
second cable to the negative (-)
terminal of the battery to be jumped.
A spark may cause an explosion of the
gases that surround the battery. Ensure that the cables are clear of fan
blades, belts, moving parts of both
engines, or any fuel delivery system
parts.
Jump Starting
1.
Start the booster vehicle and press
the accelerator moderately.
2. Start the disabled vehicle.
3. Once the disabled vehicle has been started, run both vehicles for
an additional three minutes before
disconnecting the jumper cables.
Removing the Jumper Cables
Remove the jumper cables in the
reverse order that they were
connected.
Note: In the illustration, the vehicle on
the bottom is used to designate the
assisting (boosting) battery.

and gases, and remain out of the
way of oncoming traffic until

involved is an electric vehicle or
hybrid vehicle.
Fires
As with any vehicle, call 911
immediately if you see sparks, smoke
or flames coming from the vehicle.

GETTING ASSISTANCE
OUTSIDE THE U.S. AND
CANADA
Before exporting your vehicle to a
foreign country, contact the
appropriate foreign embassy or
consulate. These officials can inform
you of local vehicle registration
regulations and where to find
unleaded fuel.

only get fuel with an anti-knock index
lower than is recommended for your
vehicle, contact our Customer
Relationship Center.
The use of leaded fuel in your vehicle
without proper conversion may
damage the effectiveness of your
emission control system and may
cause engine knocking or serious
engine damage. Ford Motor Company
or Ford of Canada is not responsible
for any damage caused by use of
improper fuel. Using leaded fuel may
also result in difficulty importing your
vehicle back into the United States.

high-current fuses that protect your
vehicle's main electrical systems from
overloads.
If you disconnect and reconnect the
battery, you will need to reset some
features. See Changing the 12V
