charging LINCOLN MKZ HYBRID 2016 User Guide

Cooling system
•
Protect against freezing temperatures.
• When removing your vehicle from
storage, check coolant fluid level.
Confirm that there are no cooling system
leaks and that fluid is at the
recommended level.
Battery
• Check and recharge as necessary. Keep
connections clean.
• If storing your vehicle for more than 30
days without recharging the battery, we
recommend that you disconnect the
battery cables to maintain battery charge
for quick starting.
Note: It is necessary to reset memory
features if battery cables are disconnected.
Brakes
• Make sure the brakes and parking brake
release fully.
Tires
• Maintain recommended air pressure. Miscellaneous
•
Make sure all linkages, cables, levers and
pins under your vehicle are covered with
grease to prevent rust.
• Move vehicles at least 25 ft (7.5 m) every
15 days to lubricate working parts and
prevent corrosion.
Removing Vehicle From Storage
When your vehicle is ready to come out of
storage, do the following:
• Wash your vehicle to remove any dirt or
grease film build-up on window surfaces.
• Check windshield wipers for any
deterioration.
• Check under the hood for any foreign
material that may have collected during
storage such as mice or squirrel nests.
• Check the exhaust for any foreign
material that may have collected during
storage.
• Check tire pressures and set tire inflation
per the Tire Label. •
Check brake pedal operation. Drive your
vehicle 15 ft (4.5 m) back and forth to
remove rust build-up.
• Check fluid levels (including coolant, oil
and gas) to make sure there are no leaks,
and fluids are at recommended levels.
• If you remove the battery, clean the
battery cable ends and check for
damage.
Contact an authorized dealer if you have any
concerns or issues.

Description
Item
Callout
Shows the direction of power flow between the wheelsand the electric motor.
Motor-to-Wheel Flow
A
Represents the hybrid electric motor. The higher the motorpower is, the larger the circle around this node. Any timethe vehicle is ready to be driven, the motor node illumin- ates.
Electric Motor
B
Shows the direction of power flow between the high-
voltage battery and the electric motor. Flow toward the
motor indicates the battery is providing power to accelerate the vehicle (discharging the battery). Flow toward the
battery indicates the electric motor is providing power to the battery (charging the battery).
1
Battery-to-Motor Flow
C
Includes all power usage from the low voltage accessoriessuch as the climate control fan, headlights and heated seats. The higher the power usage is from these
accessories, the larger the circle around the node. This
node illuminates anytime the vehicle is on since there is always some low level power in use.
2
Other
D
Includes the power usage from the high-voltage climate
control components such as the electric A/C compressor. The higher the power usage is from these components, the larger the circle around this node.

Callout
Represents your high-voltage battery. A circle illuminates
around the node when the high-voltage battery is receiving
power from regenerative braking or engine charging. The higher the power going into the high-voltage battery, the larger the circle around this node.
High Voltage Battery Power
F
Represents the fuel tank in the vehicle.
Fuel
G
Shows flow from the fuel tank to the engine when the
engine is on and using fuel (there are some cases where
the engine is on, but not using any fuel). When the engine
is on, but not using fuel, the engine node is active, but the fuel flow path is off. An example of this is when your foot
is off the accelerator pedal and the vehicle is traveling at a high speed.
Fuel-to-Engine Flow
H
Provides you with the reason(s) the gasoline engine is on.When the gasoline engine is off, this display does not
appear. Engine On due to reasons displayed by the system are in a chart following this list.
Engine on due to:
I
Shows the direction of power flow between the engine andthe electric motor. The direction indicates if the engine isproviding power to the high-voltage electrical system, or
if the high-voltage electrical system is providing power to control or start the engine.

Engine On due to
The engine is on because of the heater setting. Reduce or switch off
the heater setting to return to electric mode.
Heater Setting
The engine is on because the vehicle speed exceeds the level for
electric mode operation. Reduce the speed to return to electric mode.
High Speed
The engine is on when applying pressure to the accelerator pedal or
switching on the speed control. Reduce pressure on the accelerator
pedal or switch off the speed control to return to full electric mode.
Acceleration
The engine is on because the vehicle is in neutral gear. Shift out of
neutral gear to return to electric mode.
Neutral Gear
The engine is on because the vehicle is in low gear. Shift out of low
gear to return to electric mode.
Low Gear
The engine is on to charge the high-voltage battery. The vehicle
returns to electric mode once the battery is charged.
Battery Charging
The engine is on to optimize vehicle operation. The vehicle returns
to electric mode when possible.
Normal Operation
Status
This indicates which mode is active within
the vehicle system. 432
