instrument panel LINCOLN MKZ HYBRID 2014 Owner's Manual

•
If grease or tar is present on the
material, spot-clean the area first with
Motorcraft Spot and Stain Remover. In
Canada, use Motorcraft Multi-Purpose
Cleaner.
• If a ring forms on the fabric after spot
cleaning, clean the entire area
immediately (but do not oversaturate)
or the ring will set.
• Do not use household cleaning
products or glass cleaners, which can
stain and discolor the fabric and affect
the flame retardant abilities of the seat
materials.
CLEANING THE INSTRUMENT
PANEL AND INSTRUMENT
CLUSTER LENS WARNING
Do not use chemical solvents or
strong detergents when cleaning the
steering wheel or instrument panel to
avoid contamination of the airbag system. Clean the instrument panel and cluster
lens with a clean, damp, white cotton cloth,
then use a clean and dry white cotton cloth
to dry these areas. •
Avoid cleaners or polishes that
increase the gloss of the upper portion
of the instrument panel. The dull finish
in this area helps protect you from
undesirable windshield reflection.
• Be certain to wash or wipe your hands
clean if you have been in contact with
certain products such as insect
repellent and suntan lotion in order to
avoid possible damage to the interior
painted surfaces.
• Do not use household or glass
cleaners as these may damage the
finish of the instrument panel, interior
trim and cluster lens.
• Do not allow air fresheners and hand
sanitizers to spill onto interior surfaces.
If a spill occurs, wipe off immediately.
Damage may not be covered by your
warranty.
If a staining liquid like coffee or juice has
been spilled on the instrument panel or
on interior trim surfaces, clean as follows:
1. Wipe up spilled liquid using a clean, white, cotton cloth.
2. Wipe the surface with a damp, clean, white cotton cloth. For more thorough
cleaning, use a mild soap and water
solution. If the spot cannot be
completely cleaned by this method,
the area may be cleaned using a
commercially available cleaning
product designed for automotive
interiors.
3. If necessary, apply more soap and water solution or cleaning product to
a clean, white, cotton cloth and press
the cloth onto the soiled area. Allow
this to set at room temperature for 30
minutes.

4. Plug the power cable into the 12-volt
power point in the vehicle.
5. Remove the warning sticker found on the canister and place it on the top of
the instrument panel or the center of
the dash.
6. Start the vehicle only if the vehicle is outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. 7.
Push and turn dial (A) counterclockwise
to the sealant position. Turn on the kit
by pressing the on/off button (B). 8.
Inflate the tire to the pressure listed on
the tire label located on the driver's
door or the door jamb area. When the
sealing compound is first added into
the tire, the air pressure gauge reading
on the compressor unit may indicate
a higher value; this is normal and
should be no reason for concern. The
pressure will drop after about 30
seconds of operation. The tire pressure
has to be checked with the
compressor in the OFF position to get
the correct tire pressure reading.
9. When the recommended tire pressure
is reached, turn off the kit by pressing
the on button; disconnect the kit from
the tire valve and the power point.
Re-install the valve cap on the tire
valve, place the tube cap on the metal
connector, and return the kit to the
stowage area
10. Immediately and cautiously, drive the
vehicle 4 miles (6 kilometers) to
distribute the sealant evenly inside
the tire. Do not exceed 50 mph (80
km/h).
11. After 4 miles (6 kilometers), stop and
check the tire pressure. See Second
stage: Checking tire pressure.

A/V Inputs WARNINGS
Driving while distracted can result in
loss of vehicle control, crash and
injury. We strongly recommend that you
use extreme caution when using any
device that may take your focus off the
road. Your primary responsibility is the
safe operation of your vehicle. We
recommend against the use of any
handheld device while driving and
encourage the use of voice-operated
systems when possible. Make sure you
are aware of all applicable local laws that
may affect the use of electronic devices
while driving. WARNINGS
For safety reasons, do not connect
or adjust the settings on your
portable music player while your vehicle
is moving. Store the portable music player in a
secure location, such as the center
console or the glove box, when your
vehicle is moving. Hard objects may
become projectiles in a crash or sudden
stop, which may increase the risk of
serious injury. The audio extension cable
must be long enough to allow the portable
music player to be safely stored while your
vehicle is moving. Your A/V inputs allow you to connect an
auxiliary audio/video source (such as a
gaming systems or a personal camcorder)
by connecting RCA cords (not included)
to these input jacks. The jacks are yellow,
red and white and are located either
behind a small access door on the
instrument panel or in your center console.
You can also use the A/V inputs as an
auxiliary input jack to play music from your
portable music player over your vehicle's
speakers. Plug in your 1/8 inch (3.5
millimeter) RCA adapter into the two left
A/V input jacks (red and white).
