BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System)
with Cross Traffic Alert*
BLIS aids you in detecting vehicles that may have
entered into your blind spot area on both sides of
the vehicle, extending rearward from the exterior
mirrors to approximately 10 feet (3 meters) beyond
the bumper.
Cross traffic alert warns you of vehicles approaching
from the sides when the transmission is in
reverse (R). It detects approaching vehicles from
approximately 45 feet (14 meters) away.
Note: NEVER use BLIS or cross traffic alert as a
replacement for using the interior and exterior mirrors
and looking over your shoulder before changing
lanes. The systems are not replacements for careful
driving. Use both systems only as an assist.
Essential Information
Easy Fuel® System
When refueling your vehicle:
1. Put your vehicle in park (P) and
switch the ignition off.
2. Open the fuel filler door and slowly
insert the fuel filler nozzle fully into
the fuel system.
3. Leave the nozzle fully inserted until you stop pumping fuel. Allow about\
five
to ten seconds after pumping fuel before removing the fuel filler nozzle\
.
This allows residual fuel to drain back into the fuel tank and not spill\

onto the vehicle.
4. Slowly remove the fuel filler nozzle and close the fuel filler door.
Note: When filling your vehicle’s fuel tank from a portable fuel container\
, use
the funnel included with the vehicle. Do not use aftermarket funnels as \
they do
not work with the Easy Fuel system and may cause damage. Properly clean \
the
funnel after each use, or dispose of it properly.
Fuel Tank Capacity and Fuel Info
Fuel tank capacity varies on your MKZ, depending on your drive type and \
engine:
16.5 gallons (62.5 liters) for front-wheel drive models equipped with \
the 2.0L
EcoBoost engine and 17.5 gallons (66.2 liters) for all-wheel drive mod\
els and
those equipped with the 3.7L V6 engine. Use only UNLEADED gasoline blend\
ed
with a maximum of 15% ethanol and a minimum of 87 octane rating. Do not use
E85 (ethanol), diesel, fuel-methanol, leaded fuel or any other fuel be\
cause it
could damage or impair the emission control system.
Automatic Engine Shutdown
Your vehicle includes a feature that automatically shuts down the engine\
if it has
been idling for an extended period of time. The ignition also turns off \
in order
to save battery power. You can override this feature temporarily by pres\
sing
the brake or accelerator pedal, or by pressing OK or the RESET button in your
information display. Refer to the Information Displays chapter of your
Owner’s Manual for more details.
Towing
Towing your vehicle behind an RV or any other vehicle may be limited. Re\
fer to
the Towing the Vehicle on Four Wheels section in the Towing chapter of your
Owner's Manual for more information.
Open Window Buffeting
You may hear a pulsing noise when just one of the windows is open. Lower\

the opposite window slightly to reduce this noise.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Your vehicle displays a low tire pressure warning
light
in your information display when one or
more of your tires are significantly under-inflated. If
this happens, stop and check your tires as soon as
possible. Inflate tires to the proper pressure. Refer to
the Tire Pressure Monitoring System section in the
Wheels and Tires chapter of your Owner’s Manual
for more information.
Temporary Mobility Kit*
The kit is located under the load floor of the luggage
compartment. The kit consists of an air compressor
to reinflate the tire and a sealing compound in a
canister that effectively seals most punctures caused
by nails or similar objects. The canister contains
only enough sealant compound for one tire. See an
authorized dealer for a replacement sealant canister
after each use.
This kit provides a temporary tire repair seal,
allowing you to drive your vehicle up to 120 miles
(200 kilometers) at a maximum speed of 50 mph
(80 km/h) to reach a tire service location. Note: After sealant use, the tire pressure monitoring
system sensor and valve stem on the wheel must be
replaced by an authorized dealer. For more details,
refer to the Wheels and Tires chapter of your
Owner’s Manual .
Location of Spare Tire and Tools*
Your spare tire and tools are located beneath the
carpeted floor panel in the luggage compartment
of your vehicle. The spare tire is designed for
emergency use only and should be replaced as soon
as possible. For complete details, refer to the Wheels
and Tires chapter of your Owner’s Manual.
