When you press on the IKT to get into the vehicle, the seat and mirrors will automatically adjust to your desired positions.
SecuriLock™
The SecuriLock™ passive anti-theft system is an engine immobilization system. This system is designed to help prevent the engine from being started unless a coded Integrated Keyhead Transmitter (IKT ) programmed to your vehicle
is used. Using the wrong type of coded key may lead to a “no start” condition. The anti-theft indicator in the instrument cluster will flash to indicate the SecuriLock system is functioning as a theft deterrent when the ignition is turned off.
Autolock/Autounlock
Autolock automatically locks all vehicle doors when all the doors are closed, the ignition is in the RUN position, you shift into any gear that puts the vehicle into motion, and the vehicle is moving above 12 mph (20 km/h). Autounlock automatically unlocks all the doors when the vehicle has been traveling above 12mph (20 km/h), comes to a complete stop, and the driver door is opened within 10 minutes of the ignition being turned off. Note: For instructions on disabling autolock, please refer to your Owner’s Guide or see your authorized dealer.
Rear Cargo Management System (if equipped)
The cargo management system consists of storage compartments located in the floor of the rear cargo area. To open, lift the handle. To close, lower the lid.
Reverse Sensing System
The RSS detects obstacles up to 6 feet (2 meters) from the rear bumper with a decreased coverage area at the outer corners of the bumper. As you move closer to the obstacle, the rate of the tone increases. When the obstacle is less than 10 inches (25 cm) away, the tone will sound continuously.
If the RSS detects a stationary or receding object further than 10 inches (25 cm) from the side of the vehicle, the tone will sound for only three seconds. Once the system detects an object approaching, the tone will sound again.
Power Liftgate (if equipped)
To open the power liftgate, push the button on the instrument panel, press remote entry transmitter (IKT ) control twice, or push the button under the center of the license plate lamp shield. For the best performance allow the power system to open the liftgate after pushing the control.

Fuel Type and Tank Capacity
Your front-wheel drive fuel tank can accommodate 19.3 gallons (73.1 L) of gasoline; all-wheel drive can accommodate 20.8 gallons (78.7 L). 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.
Location of Spare Tire and Tools
The spare tire and jack are located in the cargo area below the carpeted floor panel. The lug nut wrench is 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 of your Owner’s Guide.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Using radio-frequency pressure sensors, this system monitors tire pressure on all road tires and provides the driver with a yellow warning light when air needs to be added. The Message center
provides additional warning messages. The TPMS warning light will reset itself (turn off ) after the tires are set to specification and the vehicle is driven above 20 mph (32 km / h) for at least 2 minutes. Note: Outside temperature affects tire pressure. Please refer to your Owner’s Guide.
Tire Pressure
Your vehicle’s tire pressure specifications are found on the vehicle’s Safety Compliance Certification Label located on the driver’s door jamb. Check your tires for proper air pressure monthly; check the air pressure in your spare tire every six months. 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. (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. Refer to the Tires, Wheels and Loading chapter in the 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 behind the panel on the left side of the cargo area. For more information regarding the fuel pump shut-off switch, refer
to the Roadside Emergencies chapter of your Owner’s Guide.
Rear Window Buffeting
When one or both of the rear windows are open, the vehicle may demonstrate a wind throb or buffeting noise; this noise is common among a wide range of vehicles and can be eliminated by simply lowering a front window approximately two to three inches.
Roadside Assistance
During your Lincoln MKX’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. In Canada, call (800) 665-2006.
