manual LINCOLN MKZ HYBRID 2013 Owner's Guide

Vehicle Information and General
Safety Practices
•
Know the make and model of your
vehicle.
• Review the owner ’s manual and
become familiar with your vehicle ’s
safety information and
recommended safety practices.
• Do not attempt to repair damaged
electric and hybrid-electric
vehicles yourself. Contact an
authorized Ford Dealer or vehicle
manufacturer representative for
service.
Crashes
A crash or impact significant enough
to require an emergency response for
conventional vehicles would also
require the same response for an
electric or hybrid-electric vehicle.
If possible
• Move your car to a safe, nearby
location and remain on the scene.
• Roll down the windows before
shutting your vehicle off.
• Place your vehicle in Park, set the
parking brake, turn off the vehicle,
activate the hazard lights, and
move your key(s) at least 16 feet
(5 meters) away from the vehicle. Always
•
Call 911 if assistance is needed and
advise that an electric or
hybrid-electric vehicle is involved.
• Do not touch exposed electrical
components or the engine
compartment, as a shock hazard
may exist.
• Avoid contact with leaking fluids
and gases, and remain out of the
way of oncoming traffic until
emergency responders arrive.
• When emergency responders
arrive, tell them that the vehicle
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.
• Exit the vehicle immediately.
• Advise 911 that an electric or
hybrid-electric vehicle is involved.
• As with any vehicle fire, do not
inhale smoke, vapors or gas from
the vehicle, as they may be
hazardous.
• Remain a safe distance upwind
and uphill from the vehicle fire.
• Stay out of the roadway and stay
out of the way of any oncoming
traffic while awaiting the arrival of
emergency responders.

GETTING THE SERVICES
YOU NEED
Warranty repairs to your vehicle must
be performed by an authorized dealer.
While any authorized dealer handling
your vehicle line will provide warranty
service, we recommend you return to
your selling authorized dealer who
wants to ensure your continued
satisfaction.
Please note that certain warranty
repairs require special training and
equipment, so not all authorized
dealers are authorized to perform all
warranty repairs. This means that,
depending on the warranty repair
needed, you may have to take your
vehicle to another authorized dealer.
A reasonable time must be allowed
to perform a repair after taking your
vehicle to the authorized dealer.
Repairs will be made using Ford or
Motorcraft parts, or remanufactured
or other parts that are authorized by
Ford.

TIRE PRESSURE
MONITORING SYSTEM
WARNING
The tire pressure monitoring
system is NOT a substitute for
manually checking tire pressure. The
tire pressure should be checked
periodically (at least monthly) using
a tire gauge, see Inflating your tires in
this chapter. Failure to properly
maintain your tire pressure could
increase the risk of tire failure, loss of
control, vehicle rollover and personal
injury. 309

rating. The speed rating denotes
the speed at which a tire is
designed to be driven for extended
periods of time under a standard
condition of load and inflation
pressure. The tires on your vehicle
may operate at different
conditions for load and inflation
pressure. These speed ratings may
need to be adjusted for the
difference in conditions. The
ratings range from 81 mph (130
km/h) to 186 mph (299 km/h).
These ratings are listed in the
following chart. Note:
