WARNING
Driving your vehicle with the
warning lamp on is dangerous. A
significant decrease in braking
performance may occur. It will take
you longer to stop your vehicle. Have
your vehicle checked by your
authorized dealer immediately. Driving
extended distances with the parking
brake engaged can cause brake failure
and the risk of personal injury. Cruise Control (If Equipped)
It will illuminate when you
switch this feature on.
Direction Indicator Illuminates when the left or
right turn signal or the hazard
warning flasher is turned on.
If the indicators stay on or flash faster,
check for a burned out bulb. See
Changing a Bulb
(page 292).
Door Ajar Displays when the ignition is
on and any door is not
completely closed.
Electric Park Brake It will illuminate or flash
when the electric parking
brake has a malfunction. Engine/Motor Coolant
Temperature It will illuminate when the
engine or motor cooling
system is overheating. Stop
the vehicle in a safe place and contact
your authorized dealer.
Engine Oil If it illuminates with the
engine running or when you
are driving, this indicates a
malfunction. Stop your vehicle as
soon as it is safe to do so and switch
the engine off. Check the engine oil
level. See
Engine Oil Check (page
280).
Note: Do not resume your journey if it
illuminates despite the level being
correct. Have the system checked by
your authorized dealer immediately.
Fasten Safety Belt It will illuminate and a chime
will sound to remind you to
fasten your safety belt. See
Safety Belt Minder
(page 38).

Service Engine Soon
If the service engine soon
indicator light stays
illuminated after the engine
is started, it indicates that the On
Board Diagnostics system (OBD) has
detected a malfunction of the vehicle
emissions control system. Refer to On
board diagnostics (OBD) in the Fuel
and Refueling chapter for more
information about having your vehicle
serviced. See Emission Control
System (page 179).
If the light is blinking, engine misfire is
occurring which could damage your
catalytic converter. Drive in a
moderate fashion (avoid heavy
acceleration and deceleration) and
have your vehicle serviced
immediately.
Note: Under engine misfire conditions,
excessive exhaust temperatures could
damage the catalytic converter or other
vehicle components.
The service engine soon indicator light
illuminates when the ignition is first
turned on prior to engine start to
check the bulb and to indicate
whether the vehicle is ready for
Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) testing.
Normally, the service engine soon light
will stay on until the engine is cranked,
then turn itself off if no malfunctions
are present. However, if after 15
seconds the service engine soon light
blinks eight times, it means that the
vehicle is not ready for I/M testing.
See
Emission Control System
(page 179). Stability Control It will flash when the system
is active. If it remains
illuminated or does not
illuminate when you switch the
ignition on, this indicates a
malfunction. During a malfunction the
system will switch off. Have the
system checked by your authorized
dealer immediately.
See Using
Stability Control (page 198).
Stability Control Off It will illuminate when you
switch the system off. It will
go out when you switch the
system back on or when you switch
the ignition off.
See Using Stability
Control (page 198).
Stop Safely Indicates electrical
component fault/failure that
will cause the vehicle to
shutdown or enter into a limited
operating mode. A message may also
display.
Trunk Ajar Displays when the ignition is
on and the trunk is not
completely closed.

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.

ADJUSTING THE
HEADLAMPS
Vertical Aim Adjustment
The headlamps on your vehicle are
properly aimed at the assembly plant.
If your vehicle has been in an accident,
the alignment of your headlamps
should be checked by your authorized
dealer.
Headlamp Aiming Target 8 feet (2.4 meters)
A
Center height of lamp to
ground
B
25 feet (7.6 meters)
C
Horizontal reference line
D Vertical Aim Adjustment
Procedure
1.
Park the vehicle directly in front of
a wall or screen on a level surface,
approximately 25 feet (7.6 meters)
away.
2. Measure the height of the headlamp bulb center from the
ground and mark an 8 foot (2.4
meter) horizontal reference line on
the vertical wall or screen at this
height.
Note: To see a clearer light pattern for
adjusting, you may want to block the
light from one headlamp while
adjusting the other.
3. Turn on the low beam headlamps to illuminate the wall or screen and
open the hood. 4. On the wall or screen you will
observe a flat zone of high
intensity light located at the top of
the right hand portion of the beam
pattern. If the top edge of the high
intensity light zone is not at the
horizontal reference line, the
headlamp will need to be adjusted.

5. Locate the vertical adjuster on
each headlamp. Using a Phillips
#2 screwdriver, turn the adjuster
either clockwise or
counterclockwise in order to adjust
the vertical aim of the headlamp.
The horizontal edge of the brighter
light should touch the horizontal
reference line.
6. Close the hood and turn off the
lamps.
Horizontal Aim Adjustment
Horizontal aim is not required for this
vehicle and is not adjustable.
CHANGING A BULB
Lamp Assembly Condensation
Exterior lamps are vented to
accommodate normal changes in
pressure. Condensation can be a
natural by-product of this design.
When moist air enters the lamp
assembly through the vents, there is
a possibility that condensation can
occur when the temperature is cold.
When normal condensation occurs, a thin film of mist can form on the
interior of the lens. The thin mist
eventually clears and exits through
the vents during normal operation.
Clearing time may take as long as 48
hours under dry weather conditions.
Examples of acceptable condensation
are:
•
Presence of thin mist (no streaks,
drip marks or droplets).
• Fine mist covers less than 50% of
the lens.
Examples of unacceptable moisture
(usually caused by a lamp water leak)
are:
• Water puddle inside the lamp.
• Large water droplets, drip marks
or streaks present on the interior
of the lens.
Take your vehicle to a dealer for
service if any of the above conditions
of unacceptable moisture are present.
Replacing Bulbs
For replacing bulbs, see your
authorized dealer.
