engine LINCOLN MKZ HYBRID 2013 Service Manual

If you have run out of fuel:
•
To start the vehicle with a keyless
ignition, just start the engine. Crank
time will be longer than usual.
• Normally, adding 1 gallon (3.8
liters) of fuel is enough to restart
the vehicle. If the vehicle is out of
fuel and on a steep grade, more
than 1 gallon (3.8 liters) may be
required.
• The service engine soon indicator
may come on.
Refilling With a Portable Fuel
Container WARNINGS
Do not insert the nozzle of
portable fuel containers or
aftermarket funnels into the capless
fuel system. This could damage the
fuel system and its seal, and may
cause fuel to run onto the ground
instead of filling the tank, which could
result in serious personal injury. WARNINGS
Do not try to pry open or push
open the capless fuel system
with foreign objects. This could
damage the fuel system and its seal
and cause injury to you or others. Note:
Do not use aftermarket funnels;
they will not work with the capless fuel
system and can damage it. The
included funnel has been specially
designed to work safely with your
vehicle.
When filling the vehicle ’s fuel tank
from a portable fuel container, use the
funnel included with the vehicle.

MKZ (CC9) Fuel and Refueling

WARNINGS
Read and follow all the
instructions on the pump island.
Switch off your engine when you
are refueling.
Do not smoke if you are near fuel
or refueling your vehicle.
Keep sparks, flames and
smoking materials away from
fuel. Stay outside your vehicle and do
not leave the fuel pump
unattended when refueling your
vehicle. This is against the law in some
places. Keep children away from the fuel
pump; never let children pump
fuel. Do not use personal electronic
devices while refueling.
Use the following guidelines to avoid
electrostatic charge build-up when
filling an ungrounded fuel container:
•
Place approved fuel container on
the ground.
• Do not fill a fuel container while it
is in your vehicle (including the
cargo area).
• Keep the fuel pump nozzle in
contact with the fuel container
while filling.
• Do not use a device that would
hold the fuel pump handle in the
fill position. Easy Fuel
™ Capless Fuel
System WARNING
The fuel system may be under
pressure. If you hear a hissing
sound near the fuel filler door, do not
refuel until the sound stops.
Otherwise, fuel may spray out, which
could cause serious personal injury. When fueling your vehicle:
1. Put the vehicle in position P and
switch the ignition off. 2. Press the center-rear edge of the
fuel filler door and release to open. 176
MKZ (CC9) Fuel and RefuelingE166527 E156032

Note:
Hold the handle of the fuel filler
nozzle higher while you insert the
nozzle for easier access.
3. Slowly insert the fuel filler nozzle fully into the fuel system to open
both doors. Leave the nozzle fully
inserted until you have stopped
pumping fuel. Note:
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. After you have stopped pumping fuel, slowly remove the fuel filler
nozzle.
Note: A fuel spillage concern may
occur if overfilling the fuel tank. Do not
overfill the tank to the point that the
fuel is able to bypass the fuel filler
nozzle. The overfilled fuel may run
down the drain located below and in
front of the fuel filler door.
5. To close the fuel filler door, press the center-rear edge of the fuel
filler door and then release. The
fuel door will latch closed. If the fuel fill inlet did not close
properly, a Check Fuel Fill Inlet
message may appear on the
instrument cluster.
At the next opportunity, do the
following:
1. Safely pull off the road.
2. Put the vehicle in position
P and
switch the ignition off.
3. Open the fuel filler door and remove any visible debris from the
fuel fill opening.
4. Insert the fuel fill nozzle, or the fuel
fill funnel provided with the
vehicle, several times to allow the
inlet to close properly. This will
dislodge any debris preventing the
inlet from sealing.
If this action corrects the problem, the
message may not reset immediately.
It may take several driving cycles for
the message to turn off. A driving
cycle consists of an engine start-up
(after four or more hours with the
engine off) followed by city or
highway driving. Continuing to drive
with the message on may cause the
service engine soon lamp to turn on
as well.

FUEL CONSUMPTION
Note:
The amount of usable fuel in the
empty reserve varies and should not be
relied upon to increase driving range.
When refueling your vehicle after the
fuel gauge indicates empty, you might
not be able to refuel the full amount of
the advertised capacity of the fuel tank
due to the empty reserve still present
in the tank.
Empty reserve is the amount of fuel
remaining in the tank after the fuel
gauge indicates empty. Do not rely on
this fuel for driving. The usable
capacity of the fuel tank is the amount
of fuel that can be put into the tank
after the gauge indicates empty. The
advertised capacity is the total fuel
tank size – it is the combined usable
capacity plus the empty reserve.
Filling the Tank
For consistent results when filling the
fuel tank:
• Turn the ignition off before fueling;
an inaccurate reading results if the
engine is left running.
• Use the same fill rate
(low-medium-high) each time the
tank is filled.
• Allow no more than two automatic
click-offs when filling.
Results are most accurate when the
filling method is consistent. Calculating Fuel Economy
Do not measure fuel economy during
the first 1000 miles (1600 kilometers)
of driving (this is your engine
’s
break-in period); a more accurate
measurement is obtained after 2000
miles - 3000 miles (3200 kilometers
- 4800 kilometers). Also, fuel
expense, frequency of fill ups or fuel
gauge readings are not accurate ways
to measure fuel economy.
1. Fill the fuel tank completely and record the initial odometer reading.
2. Each time you fill the tank, record the amount of fuel added.
3. After at least three to five tank fill ups, fill the fuel tank and record
the current odometer reading.
4. Subtract your initial odometer reading from the current odometer
reading.
5. Calculate fuel economy by dividing
miles traveled by gallons used (For
Metric: Multiply liters used by 100,
then divide by kilometers traveled).
Keep a record for at least one month
and record the type of driving (city or
highway). This provides an accurate
estimate of the vehicle ’s fuel economy
under current driving conditions.
Additionally, keeping records during
summer and winter show how
temperature impacts fuel economy.
In general, lower temperatures mean
lower fuel economy.

EMISSION CONTROL
SYSTEM
WARNINGS
Do not park, idle, or drive your
vehicle in dry grass or other dry
ground cover. The emission system
heats up the engine compartment and
exhaust system, which can start a fire. Exhaust leaks may result in entry
of harmful and potentially lethal
fumes into the passenger
compartment. If you smell exhaust
fumes inside your vehicle, have your
dealer inspect your vehicle
immediately. Do not drive if you smell
exhaust fumes. Your vehicle is equipped with various
emission control components and a
catalytic converter that will enable
your vehicle to comply with applicable
exhaust emission standards. To make
sure that the catalytic converter and
other emission control components
continue to work properly:
To make sure that the catalytic
converter and other emission control
components continue to work
properly:
•
Use only the specified fuel listed.
• Avoid running out of fuel.
• Do not turn off the ignition while
your vehicle is moving, especially
at high speeds.
• Have the items listed in scheduled
maintenance information
performed according to the
specified schedule. The scheduled maintenance items
listed in scheduled maintenance
information are essential to the life
and performance of your vehicle and
to its emissions system.
If you use parts other than Ford,
Motorcraft or Ford-authorized parts
for maintenance replacements, or for
service of components affecting
emission control, such non-Ford parts
should be the equivalent to genuine
Ford Motor Company parts in
performance and durability.
Illumination of the service engine soon
indicator, charging system warning
light or the temperature warning light,
fluid leaks, strange odors, smoke or
loss of engine power could indicate
that the emission control system is
not working properly.
An improperly operating or damaged
exhaust system may allow exhaust to
enter the vehicle. Have a damaged or
improperly operating exhaust system
inspected and repaired immediately.
Do not make any unauthorized
changes to your vehicle or engine. By
law, vehicle owners and anyone who
manufactures, repairs, services, sells,
leases, trades vehicles, or supervises
a fleet of vehicles are not permitted
to intentionally remove an emission
control device or prevent it from
working. Information about your
vehicle
’s emission system is on the
Vehicle Emission Control Information
Decal located on or near the engine.
This decal also lists engine
displacement

Please consult your warranty
information for complete details.
On-Board Diagnostics (OBD-II)
Your vehicle is equipped with an
on-board diagnostics system (OBD-II)
that monitors the engine
’s emission
control system. This system protects
the environment by ensuring that your
vehicle continues to meet government
emission standards. The OBD-II
system also assists your authorized
dealer in properly servicing your
vehicle. When the service engine
soon indicator illuminates,
the OBD-II system has
detected a malfunction. Temporary
malfunctions may cause the service
engine soon indicator to illuminate.
Examples of temporary malfunctions
are:
• the vehicle has run out of fuel —the
engine may misfire or run poorly
• poor fuel quality or water in the
fuel —the engine may misfire or run
poorly
• the fuel fill inlet may not have been
properly closed See Refueling
(page 175).
• driving through deep water —the
electrical system may be wet.
You can correct these temporary
malfunctions by filling the fuel tank
with good quality fuel, properly closing
the fuel fill inlet or letting the electrical
system dry out. After three driving
cycles without these or any other
temporary malfunctions present, the service engine soon indicator should
stay off the next time you start the
engine. A driving cycle consists of a
cold engine startup followed by mixed
city/highway driving. No additional
vehicle service is required.
If the service engine soon indicator
remains on, have your vehicle serviced
at the first available opportunity.
Although some malfunctions
detected by the OBD-II may not have
symptoms that are apparent,
continued driving with the service
engine soon indicator on can result in
increased emissions, lower fuel
economy, reduced engine and
transmission smoothness, and lead
to more costly repairs.
Readiness for
Inspection/Maintenance (I/M)
Testing
Some state/provincial and local
governments may have
Inspection/Maintenance (I/M)
programs to inspect the emission
control equipment on your vehicle.
Failure to pass this inspection could
prevent you from getting a vehicle
registration.
If the service engine soon
indicator is on or the bulb
does not work, you may need
to have the vehicle serviced. See
On-Board Diagnostics (OBD-II).
180
MKZ (CC9) Fuel and Refueling

Your vehicle may not pass the I/M test
if the service engine soon indicator is
on or not working properly (bulb is
burned out), or if the OBD-II system
has determined that some of the
emission control systems have not
been properly checked. In this case,
your vehicle is not ready for I/M
testing.
If the vehicle
’s engine or transmission
has just been serviced, or the battery
has recently run down or been
replaced, the OBD-II system may
indicate that the vehicle is not ready
for I/M testing. To determine if the
vehicle is ready for I/M testing, turn
the ignition key to the on position for
15 seconds without cranking the
engine. If the service engine soon
indicator blinks eight times, it means
that the vehicle is not ready for I/M
testing; if the service engine soon
indicator stays on solid, it means that
the vehicle is ready for I/M testing.
The OBD-II system monitors the
emission control system during
normal driving. A complete check may
take several days. If the vehicle is not
ready for I/M testing, you may need
to perform the following driving cycle
consisting of mixed city and highway
driving:
Drive on an expressway or highway
for a steady 15 minutes, followed by
20 minutes of stop-and-go driving
with at least four 30-second idle
periods. Allow the vehicle to sit for at least
eight hours without starting the
engine. Then, start the engine and
complete the above driving cycle. The
engine must warm up to its normal
operating temperature. Once started,
do not turn off the engine until the
above driving cycle is complete. If the
vehicle is still not ready for I/M testing,
you will have to repeat the above
driving cycle.
