LINCOLN MKZ HYBRID 2017 Owners Manual

Your vehicle has also been equipped with a
TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when
the system is not operating properly. The
malfunction indicator is combined with the
low tire pressure telltale. When the system
detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash
for approximately one minute and then
remain continuously illuminated. This
sequence will continue upon subsequent
vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction
exists.
When the malfunction indicator is illuminated,
the system may not be able to detect or
signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS
malfunctions may occur for a variety of
reasons, including the installation of
replacement or alternate tires or wheels on
the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from
functioning properly. Always check the TPMS
malfunction telltale after replacing one or
more tires or wheels on your vehicle to
ensure that the replacement or alternate tires
and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to
function properly.
The tire pressure monitoring system
complies with part 15 of the FCC rules and
with RSS-210 of Industry Canada. Operation
is subject to the following two conditions: (1)
This device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) This device must accept
any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired
operation.
Changing Tires with a Tire Pressure
Monitoring System Note:
Each road tire is equipped with a tire
pressure sensor located inside the wheel
and tire assembly cavity. The pressure
sensor is attached to the valve stem. The
pressure sensor is covered by the tire and
is not visible unless the tire is removed. Care
must be taken when changing the tire to
avoid damaging the sensor
It is recommended that you always have your
tires serviced by an authorized dealer.
The tire pressure should be checked
periodically (at least monthly) using an
accurate tire gauge. See Inflating Your Tires
in this chapter.

Understanding Your Tire Pressure
Monitoring System
The tire pressure monitoring system
measures pressure in your four road tires
and sends the tire pressure readings to your
vehicle. The low tire pressure warning light
will turn on if the tire pressure is significantly
low. Once the light is illuminated, your tires
are under-inflated and need to be inflated to
the manufacturer’
s recommended tire
pressure. Even if the light turns on and a
short time later turns off, your tire pressure
still needs to be checked. When your Temporary Spare Tire is
Installed (If Equipped)
When one of your road tires needs to be
replaced with the temporary spare, the tire
pressure monitoring system will continue to
identify an issue to remind you that the
damaged road wheel and tire assembly
needs to be repaired and put back on your
vehicle.
To restore the full functionality of the tire
pressure monitoring system, have the
damaged road wheel and tire assembly
repaired and remounted on your vehicle.When you Believe your System is not
Operating Properly
The main function of the tire pressure
monitoring system is to warn you when your
tires need air. It can also warn you in the
event the system is no longer capable of
functioning as intended. See the following
chart for information concerning your tire
pressure monitoring system:

1. Make sure tires are at the proper pressure. See Inflating your
tires in this chapter. 2. After inflating your tires to the manufac-
turer’s recommended pressure as shown on the Tire Label (located
on the edge of driver’ s door or the B-Pillar), the vehicle must be
driven for at least two minutes over 20 mph (32 km/h) before the
light turns off.

If the tires are properly inflated and the spare tire is not in use but
the light remains on, contact your authorized dealer as soon as
possible.

When Inflating your Tires
When putting air into your tires (such as at a
gas station or in your garage), the tire
pressure monitoring system may not respond
immediately to the air added to your tires.
It may take up to two minutes of driving over
20 mph (32 km/h) for the light to turn off after
you have filled your tires to the
recommended inflation pressure
How Temperature Affects your Tire
Pressure
The tire pressure monitoring system monitors
tire pressure in each pneumatic tire. While
driving in a normal manner, a typical
passenger tire inflation pressure may
increase approximately 2 to 4 psi (14 to 28
kPa) from a cold start situation. If the vehicle
is stationary overnight with the outside
temperature significantly lower than the
daytime temperature, the tire pressure may
decrease approximately 3 psi (21 kPa) for a
drop of 30°F (17°C) in ambient temperature.This lower pressure value may be detected
by the TPMS as being significantly lower than
the recommended inflation pressure and
activate the TPMS warning light for low tire
pressure. If the low tire pressure warning
light is on, visually check each tire to verify
that no tire is flat. (If one or more tires are
flat, repair as necessary.) Check air pressure
in the road tires. If any tire is under-inflated,
carefully drive the vehicle to the nearest
location where air can be added to the tires.
Inflate all the tires to the recommended
inflation pressure.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Wheel Lug Nut Torque Specifications
WARNING
When a wheel is installed, always remove any corrosion, dirt or foreign \
materials present on the mounting surfaces of the wheel or the
surface of the wheel hub, brake drum or brake disc that contacts the wheel. Make sure that any fasteners that attach the rotor to the
hub are secured so they do not interfere with the mounting surfaces of t\
he wheel. Installing wheels without correct metal-to-metal contact at
the wheel mounting surfaces can cause the wheel nuts to loosen and the w\
heel to come off while your vehicle is in motion, resulting in loss
of control. lb.ft (Nm)

* Torque specifications are for nut and bolt threads free of dirt and rust.\
Use only Ford recommended replacement fasteners.
Retighten the lug nuts to the specified torque within 100 miles (160 kil\
ometers) after any wheel disturbance (such as tire rotation, changing \
a
flat tire, wheel removal).

Wheel pilot bore
A
Inspect the wheel pilot hole and mounting
surface prior to installation. Remove any
visible corrosion or loose particles. The tire wheel assembly has already been balanced at the vehicle assembl\
y plant. There are
many factors during the vehicle usage that may lead to a tire wheel imba\
lance. These factors
may cause vehicle vibration and increased steering, suspension and tire \
wear. In this case,
the wheel and tire assembly may need to be re-balanced. The maximum dynamic static
imbalance per wheel balance plane needs to be less than 7g. The tire whe\
el assembly also
needs to be re-balanced after changing the wheel and the tire. Please contact an authorized
dealer for service.
