ignition LINCOLN MKZ HYBRID 2013 Repair Manual

The following are other situations that
may limit the BLIS:
•
Certain maneuvering of vehicles
entering and exiting the blind zone.
• Vehicles passing through the blind
zone at very fast rates.
• When several vehicles forming a
convoy pass through the blind
zone.
The following are other situations that
may limit the cross traffic alert
system:
• Adjacently parked vehicles or
objects obstructing the sensors.
• Approaching vehicles passing at
speeds greater than 15 mph (24
km/h).
• Driving in reverse faster than 5
mph (8 km/h).
• Backing out of an angled parking
spot.
False Alerts
Note: If a trailer is connected to the
vehicle the BLIS system may detect the
trailer causing a false alert. You may
want to turn the BLIS off manually.
There may be certain instances when
either the BLIS or cross traffic alert
systems illuminate the alert indicator
with no vehicle in the coverage zone;
this is known as a false alert. Some
amount of false alerts are normal;
they are temporary and self-correct. System Errors
If either system senses a problem with
the left or right sensor, the BLIS
telltale will illuminate and a message
will appear in the information display.
All other system faults will only be
displayed by a message in the
information display.
Switching the Systems Off and On
One or both systems can be switched
off temporarily by using the
information display control. See
General Information (page 103).
When the BLIS is switched off, you will
not receive alerts and a telltale
illuminates in the information display.
Note: The CTA system always
switches on whenever the ignition is
switched on. However, the BLIS system
will remember the last selected on or
off setting.
One or both systems cannot be
switched off when MyKey is used. See
General Information
(page 343).
One or both systems can also be
switched off permanently at your
authorized dealer. Once switched off,
switching it back on must also be
done at your authorized dealer.

If the front end of the vehicle is hit or
damaged, the radar sensing zone may
be altered causing missed or false
collision warnings. See your
authorized dealer to have your
collision warning radar checked for
proper coverage and operation.
STEERING
Electric Power Steering
WARNINGS
The electric power steering
system has diagnostic checks
that continuously monitor the system
to ensure proper operation. When a
system error is detected a steering
message will appear in the
information display. The electric power steering
system has diagnostic checks
that continuously monitor the system
to ensure proper operation of the
electronic system. When an electronic
error is detected, a message will be
displayed in the information display.
If this happens, stop the vehicle in a
safe place, and turn off the engine.
After at least 10 seconds, reset the
system by restarting the engine, and
watch the information display for a
steering message. If a steering
message returns, or returns while
driving, take the vehicle to your dealer
to have it checked. WARNINGS
Obtain immediate service if a
system error is detected. You
may not notice any difference in the
feel of your steering, but a serious
condition may exist. Failure to do so
may result in loss of steering control. Your vehicle is equipped with an
electric power-assisted steering
system. There is no fluid reservoir to
check or fill.
If your vehicle loses electrical power
while you are driving (or if the ignition
is turned off), you can steer the
vehicle manually, but it takes more
effort. Extreme continuous steering
may increase the effort it takes for you
to steer. This occurs to prevent
internal overheating and permanent
damage to your steering system. If this
should occur, you will neither lose the
ability to steer the vehicle manually
nor will it cause permanent damage.
Typical steering and driving
maneuvers will allow the system to
cool and steering assist will return to
normal.
Steering Tips
If the steering wanders or pulls, check
for:
•
an improperly inflated tire
• uneven tire wear
• loose or worn suspension
components
• loose or worn steering
components
• improper vehicle alignment

their normal position when the ignition
is turned on.
Replace wiper blades at least once
per year for optimum performance.
Poor wiper quality can be improved
by cleaning the wiper blades and the
windshield.
CHANGING THE ENGINE AIR
FILTER WARNING
To reduce the risk of vehicle
damage and/or personal burn
injuries do not start your engine with
the air cleaner removed and do not
remove it while the engine is running. When changing the air filter element,
use only the air filter element listed.
See Capacities and Specifications
(page 330).
Change the air filter element at the
proper interval. See
Scheduled
Maintenance (page 444).
Note: Failure to use the correct air filter
element may result in severe engine
damage. The customer warranty may
be void for any damage to the engine
if the correct air filter element is not
used. 1. Loosen the 5 bolts on the air
cleaner cover.
2. Remove the air cleaner cover.
3. Remove the engine air filter element from the engine air
cleaner assembly.

When washing and waxing, park your
vehicle in a shaded area out of direct
sunlight. Always wash your vehicle
before applying wax.
•
Use a quality wax that does not
contain abrasives.
• Follow the manufacturer ’s
instructions to apply and remove
the wax.
• Apply a small amount of wax in a
back-and-forth motion, not in
circles.
• Do not allow wax to come in
contact with any non-body
(low-gloss black) colored trim.
The wax will discolor or stain the
parts over time.
•Roof racks.
• Bumpers.
• Grained door handles.
• Side mouldings.
• Mirror housings.
• Windshield cowl area.
• Do not apply wax to glass areas.
• After waxing, your car's paint
should feel smooth, and be free of
streaks and smudges.
CLEANING THE ENGINE
Engines are more efficient when they
are clean because grease and dirt
buildup keep the engine warmer than
normal. When washing:
•
Take care when using a power
washer to clean the engine. The
high-pressure fluid could penetrate
the sealed parts and cause
damage.
• Do not spray a hot engine with cold
water to avoid cracking the engine
block or other engine components.
• Spray Motorcraft® Engine
Shampoo and Degreaser on all
parts that require cleaning and
pressure rinse clean. In Canada,
use Motorcraft® Engine Shampoo.
• Never wash or rinse the engine
while it is hot or running; water in
the running engine may cause
internal damage.
• Never wash or rinse any ignition
coil, spark plug wire or spark plug
well, or the area in and around
these locations.
• Cover the battery, power
distribution box, and air filter
assembly to prevent water
damage when cleaning the engine.
CLEANING THE WINDOWS
AND WIPER BLADES
Clean your windows and wiper blades
regularly. If the wipers do not wipe
properly, substances on the vehicle ’s
glass or the wiper blades may cause
squeaking or chatter noise from the
blades, and streaking and smearing
of the windshield.
