battery location LINCOLN MKT 2011 Owners Manual

Auxiliary power points can be found in the following locations:
•Near the floor in the front console bin on the driver’s side
•In the center console utility compartment
•On the rear of the center console (inside the second row center
console on vehicles equipped with that feature)
•In the rear cargo area on the driver’s side trim panel
Do not use the power point for operating the cigarette lighter element (if
equipped).
To prevent the fuse from being blown, do not use the power point(s)
over the vehicle capacity of 12V DC/180W. If the power point or cigar
lighter socket is not working, a fuse may have blown. Refer toFuses and
relaysin theRoadside Emergencieschapter for information on
checking and replacing fuses.
To have full capacity usage of your power point, the engine is required to
be running to avoid unintentional discharge of the battery. To prevent
the battery from being discharged:
•do not use the power point longer than necessary when the engine is
not running,
•do not leave battery chargers, video game adapters, computers and
other devices plugged in overnight or when the vehicle is parked for
extended periods.
Always keep the power point caps closed when not being used.
Power point (110V AC) (if equipped)
The 110V AC power point outlet is used for powering electrical devices
that require up to 150W. Exceeding the 150W limit will cause the power
point to cut off the power temporarily to provide overload protection.
Note:The 110V AC power point is
equipped with a safety cap and a
safety twist tab. They both provide
protection from inserting any object
into the power point other than the
110V AC electrical device plug. The
safety cap should always be in a
closed position whenever the power
point outlet is not in use.
The 110V AC power point is located on the back of the center console
(inside the second row center console on vehicles equipped with that
feature).

Intelligent Access
WARNING:Radio waves from the intelligent access system
transmitters in the vehicle may affect certain implanted medical
devices such as pacemakers or cardiac defibrillators. People having
such implanted medical devices should ask the medical device
manufacturer or their physician whether the intelligent access system
may affect the equipment before coming into close proximity with a
vehicle equipped with intelligent access. Failure to do so may result in
interference with the medical device, which could result in serious
injury.
Your intelligent access system uses a radio frequency (RF) signal to
communicate with your vehicle and authorize your vehicle to unlock
when commanded (either by pressing any keyless entry keypad button,
the power liftgate button, or a button on the transmitter itself). If
excessive RF interference is present in the area, or if your vehicle
battery is low, it may be necessary to mechanically unlock your door. The
mechanical key blade in your IA key can be used to open the driver’s
door in this situation (refer toIntelligent access keyin this chapter for
more information on the location and use of the mechanical key blade).
Your vehicle will allow you to unlock and enter your vehicle without
actively using a key or transmitter. You can use the intelligent access
feature at the driver door or at the liftgate. You can activate the
intelligent access feature as long as you have one of your IA keys within
range of the driver door or the liftgate.
Activating intelligent access at the Driver’s Door:If your IA key is
within 3 feet (1 meter) of the driver’s door, you can activate your
intelligent access system by pressing any button on the keyless entry
keypad. The driver’s door will automatically unlock and the door can be
opened.
(Note:If two stage unlocking is disabled, all doors will unlock when you
press any button on the keyless entry keypad).
Activating intelligent access at the liftgate:If your IA key is within
3 feet (1 meter) of the liftgate, you can activate your intelligent access
system by pressing the exterior liftgate release button, hidden under the
trim above the license plate. The liftgate will release and open.
Push button start:The push button start system allows you to start
your vehicle without using a key. Refer toPush button startin the
Drivingchapter.

There may be areas inside your vehicle where the IA key is not detected.
If the message NO KEY DETECTED appears on your message center
when you press the START/STOP button, it may be necessary to move
your IA key to another area within the vehicle. The IA key may not be
detected near the roof (between the driver or passenger sun visor and
the roof, or in the overhead console area), or in the third row seat cup
holder and armrest area, or in the extreme corners of the rear package
tray, near your audio speakers. It is not recommended that you stow the
IA key in these locations. If you move the IA key to a location where it
has been detected before and you still see the NO KEY DETECTED
message, your IA key’s battery may be low or you may be in an area with
excessive radio frequency interference. If this occurs, you can use the
back-up method to start your vehicle (see below).
Back-up method of starting:Your
IA key uses a radio frequency signal
to communicate with your vehicle
and authorize your vehicle to start
when you press the START/STOP
button and apply the brake pedal. If
excessive radio frequency
interference is present in the area,
or if the battery in your IA key is
low, it may be necessary to start
your car by inserting the IA key in
the back-up slot, located in the rear of the center console utility
compartment. Insert the IA key into the slot with buttons facing out and
with key ring up. After inserting the IA key into the back-up slot, use the
START/STOP button and brake pedal to start your vehicle as usual. The
vehicle should respond normally as long as the IA key is in the back-up
slot in the center console utility compartment. Once the vehicle is
started, the IA key can be removed from the back-up slot, if desired.
Fast restart feature:The Fast Restart feature allows you to re-start
your vehicle within 20 seconds of switching the vehicle off, if a valid IA
key is not present when the vehicle is switched off. When you switch
your vehicle off without an IA key in the passenger compartment, the
message RESTART NOW OR KEY IS NEEDED will be displayed in the
message center. You can re-start the vehicle (by applying the brake pedal
and pressing the START/STOP button) for up to 20 seconds, even
though the IA key is not present. After 20 seconds have expired, you can
no longer start your vehicle without the IA key present inside the
vehicle.

CHANGING THE TIRES
If you get a flat tire while driving, do not apply the brake heavily.
Instead, gradually decrease your speed. Hold the steering wheel firmly
and slowly move to a safe place on the side of the road.
Note:The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) indicator light will
illuminate when the spare tire is in use. To restore the full functionality
of the monitoring system, all road wheels equipped with tire pressure
monitoring sensors must be mounted on the vehicle.
Have a flat serviced by an authorized dealer in order to prevent damage to
the TPMS sensors, refer toTire pressure monitoring system (TPMS)in
theTires, Wheels and Loadingchapter. Replace the spare tire with a road
tire as soon as possible. During repairing or replacing of the flat tire, have
the authorized dealer inspect the TPMS sensor for damage.
WARNING:The use of tire sealants may damage your tire
pressure monitoring system (TPMS) and should not be used.
However, if you must use a sealant, the TPMS sensor and valve stem
on the wheel must be replaced by an authorized Ford dealer.

•Read the information in theTips for use of the temporary mobility
kitsection to ensure safe operation of the temporary mobility kit and
your vehicle.
Tips for use of the temporary mobility kit
Read the following list of tips to ensure safe operation of the temporary
mobility kit:
•Before operating the temporary mobility kit, make sure your vehicle is
safely off the road and away from moving traffic. Turn on the hazard
lights.
•Always set the parking brake to ensure the vehicle doesn’t move
unexpectedly.
•Do not remove any foreign objects, such as nails or screws, from the
tire.
•When using the temporary mobility kit, leave the engine running
(only if the vehicle is outdoors or in a well-ventilated area)so
the compressor doesn’t drain the vehicle’s battery.
•Do not allow the compressor to operate continuously for more than
15 minutes; this will help prevent the compressor from overheating.
•Never leave the temporary mobility kit unattended when it is
operating.
•Sealant compound contains latex. Make sure that you use the
non-latex gloves provided to avoid an allergic reaction.
•Keep the temporary mobility kit away from children.
•Only use the temporary mobility kit when the ambient temperature is
between -40°F (-40°C) and 158°F (70°C).
•Only use the sealing compound before the use by date. The use by
date is on the lower right hand corner of the label located on the
sealant canister (bottle).Check the use by date regularly and
replace the canister after four years.
•Do not store the temporary mobility kit unsecured inside the
passenger compartment of the vehicle as it may cause injury during a
sudden stop or collision. Always store the kit in its original location.
•After sealant use, the TPMS sensor and valve stem on the wheel must
be replaced by an authorized Ford dealer.
•When inflating a tire or other objects, use the black air hose only. Do
not use the transparent hose which is designed for sealant application
only.
