run flat LINCOLN MKS 2014 Quick Reference Guide

Fuel-efficient Transmission
Your vehicle has been designed to improve
fuel economy by reducing fuel usage
while coasting or decelerating. This may
be perceived as a light to medium braking
sensation when removing your foot from
the accelerator pedal.
Fuel Tank Capacity/Fuel Info
Your vehicle has a 19.0 gallon (71.9L)
fuel tank. Use only UNLEADED fuel or
UNLEADED fuel blended with a maximum of
15% ethanol. Do not use fuel ethanol (E85),
diesel, fuel-methanol, leaded fuel or any
other fuel because it could damage or impair
the emission control system.
Towing
Towing your vehicle behind an RV or any
other vehicle may be limited. Refer to the
Towing the Vehicle on Four Wheels section
in the Towing chapter of your Owner's
Manual for more information.
Rear Window Buffeting
When one or both of your rear windows are
open, you may hear a wind throb or buffeting
noise. To alleviate this, lower a front window
until the buffeting subsides.
Collision Warning System*
This system is designed to alert the driver of
certain collision risks. Radar sensors detect
if vehicles ahead of you, which are moving
in the same direction, may be a collision risk.
The system will alert you with an audible tone
and red warning light which will appear above
the dash. If the risk of collision increases, the
system will increase brake support to help
reduce collision speed.
Location of Spare Tire and Tools Your spare tire and tools are located beneath
the carpeted floor panel in the trunk of
your vehicle. The spare tire is designed for
emergency use only and should be replaced
as soon as possible. For complete details on
changing your tire, refer to the Changing a
Road Wheel section in the Wheels and Tires
chapter of your Owner’s Manual.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System Your vehicle has a tire pressure monitoring
system that illuminates a low tire pressure
warning light
in your instrument cluster
when one or more of your tires is significantly
underinflated. If this happens, stop and
check your tires as soon as possible. Inflate
them to the proper pressure. Refer to the
Inflating Your Tires section in the Wheels
and Tires chapter of your Owner’s Manual
for more information.
Roadside Assistance
Your new Lincoln vehicle 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,

Essential Information
THX II® Certified Audio System*
Fourteen strategically positioned,
high-performance speakers deliver
a home theater sound right in your
vehicle. The system will automatically
make adjustments to volume and sound
distribution, based on vehicle speed
and external road noise.
Easy Fuel® System
With this system, push to release the
fuel door, insert the nozzle and begin
fueling. It is self-sealing and therefore
protected against dust, dirt, water,
snow and ice. Wait 10 seconds from
the time the refueling nozzle is shut-off
until you remove the nozzle from the
vehicle to allow residual fuel in the nozzle to drain into the tank. Whe\
n using
a portable fuel container, slowly insert the fuel funnel (located in th\
e spare tire
compartment) and pour the fuel into the funnel.
Note: Do not use aftermarket funnels as they will not work with the Easy Fuel\

system and may cause damage. Properly clean the funnel after each use.
Rain-sensing Wipers
If activated, your wipers will automatically turn on when moisture is pr\
esent on
the windshield. The wiper speed will vary based on the amount of moistur\
e
detected and the sensitivity setting. To deactivate, turn your wiper con\
trols off.
Note: Make sure that this feature is turned off before entering a car wash.
