You have limited engine power when
in the fail-safe mode, so drive the
vehicle with caution. The vehicle will
not be able to maintain high-speed
operation and the engine will run
rough. Remember that the engine is
capable of completely shutting down
automatically to prevent engine
damage, therefore:
1. Pull off the road as soon as safely
possible and turn off the engine.
2. Arrange for the vehicle to be taken
to an authorized dealer.
3. If this is not possible, wait a short period for the engine to cool.
4. Check the coolant level and replenish if low.
5. Re-start the engine and take your vehicle to an authorized dealer.
AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION FLUID
CHECK
Note: Transmission fluid should be
checked by an authorized dealer. If
required, fluid should be added by an
authorized dealer.
The automatic transmission does not
have a transmission fluid dipstick. Have an authorized dealer check and
change the transmission fluid at the
correct service interval. See
Scheduled Maintenance (page 444).
Your transmission does not consume
fluid. However, the fluid level should
be checked if the transmission is not
working properly, (i.e., if the
transmission slips or shifts slowly) or
if you notice some sign of fluid
leakage.
Do not use supplemental transmission
fluid additives, treatments or cleaning
agents. The use of these materials
may affect transmission operation
and result in damage to internal
transmission components.
BRAKE FLUID CHECK
Fluid levels between the MIN and MAX
lines are within the normal operating
range; there is no need to add fluid. If
the fluid levels are outside of the
normal operating range, the
performance of the system could be
compromised; seek service from your
authorized dealer immediately.
POWER STEERING FLUID
CHECK
Your vehicle is equipped with an
electric power steering (EPS) system.
There is no fluid reservoir to check or
fill.

MKZ (CC9) Maintenance

5. Run the engine until it reaches
normal operating temperature.
While the engine is warming up,
complete the following: Reset the
clock. See Audio System (page
134). Reset the power windows
bounce-back feature. See
Windows and Mirrors (page 88).
Reset the radio station presets.
See
Audio System (page 134).
6. Allow the engine to idle for at least
one minute. If the engine turns off,
step on the accelerator to start the
engine.
7. While the engine is running, step on the brake pedal and shift the
transmission to N.
8. Allow the engine to run for at least
one minute by pressing on the
accelerator pedal.
9. Drive the vehicle at least 10 miles (16 kilometers) to completely
relearn the idle and fuel trim
strategy.
Note: If you do not allow the engine to
relearn the idle and fuel trim strategy,
the idle quality of your vehicle may be
adversely affected until the engine
computer eventually relearns the idle
trim and fuel trim strategy.
Note: Always dispose of automotive
batteries in a responsible manner.
Follow your local authorized standards
for disposal. Call your local authorized
recycling center to find out more about
recycling automotive batteries. Note:
It is recommended that the
negative battery cable terminal be
disconnected from the battery if you
plan to store your vehicle for an
extended period of time.
CHECKING THE WIPER
BLADES Run the tip of your fingers over the
edge of the blade to check for
roughness.
Clean the wiper blades with washer
fluid or water applied with a soft
sponge or cloth.
CHANGING THE WIPER
BLADES
The wiper arms can be manually
moved when the ignition is off. This
allows for ease of blade replacement
and cleaning under the blades.
1.
Pull the wiper blade and arm away
from the glass.

3 Automatic transmissions that require Motorcraft MERCON LV transmission
fluid should only use Motorcraft MERCON LV transmission fluid.
Use of any fluid other than the recommended fluid may cause transmission
damage.
Change the automatic transmission fluid and filter at the correct service interval.
See Scheduled Maintenance (page 444).
4 Your engine has been designed to use engine oil that meets Ford specification.
It is also acceptable to use an engine oil of recommended viscosity grade that
displays the API Certification Mark for gasoline engines.
Do not use API S category oils labeled as SN, SM, SL or lower category unless
the label also display the API certification mark. These oils do not meet
requirements of your vehicle''s engine and emissions system.
5 Do not use supplemental engine oil additives, cleaners or other engine
treatments. They are unnecessary and could lead to engine damage that is not
covered by Ford warranty.
6 Add the coolant type originally equipped in your vehicle.
7 WARNING
The A/C refrigerant system contains refrigerant R-134a under high pressure.
Opening the A/C refrigerant system can cause personal injury. A/C
refrigerant system is to be serviced only by qualified personnel. 337
