5. Run the engine until it reaches normal
operating temperature. While the engine
is warming up, complete the following:
Reset the clock. See Audio Unit (page
382). Reset the power windows
bounce-back feature. See Power
Windows (page 95). Reset the radio
station presets. See Audio Unit (page
382).
6. Allow the engine to idle for at least one minute.
7. Drive the vehicle at least 10 mi (16 km) to
completely relearn the idle trim 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: Certain features may not operate if
the battery monitor system is not reset with
a scan tool following a jump start or battery
replacement. Normal electrical accessory
operation should resume after your vehicle
is left undisturbed for 8 hours. Make sure that you dispose of old batteries
in an environmentally friendly way. Seek
advice from your local authority about
recycling old batteries.
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.
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
Replace the wiper blades at least annually
for optimum performance.
You can improve poor wiper quality by
cleaning the wiper blades and the
windshield.
Note:
Do not hold the wiper blade when
lifting the wiper arm.
Note: Make sure that the wiper arm does
not spring back against the glass when the
wiper blade is not attached. 314

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
The horizontal aim does not require any
adjustment for this vehicle. If a fault occurs,
have the system checked by an authorized
dealer.
CHANGING A BULB
Replacing Bulbs
For replacing bulbs, see your authorized
dealer.
CHANGING THE ENGINE AIR
FILTER
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
vehicle damage and/or personal burn
injuries do not start your engine with the
air cleaner removed and do not remove it
while the engine is running. When changing the air filter element, use
only the air filter element listed.
See
Capacities and Specifications (page 359).
Change the air filter element at the proper
interval. See Scheduled Maintenance (page
462
).
Note: Failure to use the correct air filter
element may result in severe engine
damage. The customer warranty may be
void for any damage to the engine if the
correct air filter element is not used. 1. Loosen the 5 bolts on the air cleaner
cover.
2. Remove the air cleaner cover.

Loss of air pressure may adversely affect tire
performance. For this reason:
Note:
Do not drive the vehicle above 50 mph
(80 km/h).
Note: Do not drive further than
120 mi
(200 km). Drive only to the closest authorized
Lincoln dealer or tire repair shop to have
your tire inspected.
• Drive carefully and avoid abrupt steering
maneuvers.
• Periodically monitor tire inflation pressure
in the affected tire; if the tire is losing
pressure, have the vehicle towed.
• Read the information in the Tips for Use
of the Kit section to make sure safe
operation of the kit and your vehicle.
Tips for Use of your TMK
To ensure safe operation of the TMK:
• Read all instructions and cautions fully.
• Do not remove any foreign objects, such
as nails or screws, from the tire. •
Before operating the kit, make sure your
vehicle is safely off the road and away
from moving traffic. Turn on the hazard
lights.
• Always set the parking brake to ensure
the vehicle doesn't move unexpectedly.
• When using the kit, leave the engine
running (only if the vehicle is outdoors or
in a well-ventilated area) so the
compressor does not drain the vehicle's
battery.
• Do not allow the compressor to operate
continuously for more than 15 minutes.
This helps prevent the compressor from
overheating.
• Never leave the kit unattended during
operation.
• Sealant compound contains latex. Those
with latex sensitivities should use
appropriate precautions to avoid an
allergic reaction.
• Keep the kit away from children.
• Only use the kit when the ambient
temperature is between -22°F (-30°C) and
158°F (70°C)
. •
Only use the sealing compound before
the use-by date. The use-by date is on a
label on the sealant bottle and can be
seen through the rectangular viewing
window on the bottom of the compressor
housing. Check the use-by date regularly
and replace the bottle when the fluid has
expired.
• Do not store the kit unsecured inside the
passenger compartment of the vehicle
as it may cause injury during a sudden
stop or crash. Always store the kit in its
original location.
• After sealant use, the tire pressure
monitoring system sensor and valve stem
on the wheel must be replaced by an
authorized Lincoln dealer.
• Operating the kit could cause an
electrical disturbance in radio, CD, and
DVD player operation. * When inflation only is required for
a tire or other objects, the selector
must be in the Air position.

What to do when a Tire Is Punctured
A tire puncture within the tire's tread area
can be repaired in two stages with the kit:
•
In the first stage, the tire is reinflated with
a sealing compound and air. After the tire
has been inflated, you need to drive the
vehicle about 3.7 mi (6 km) to distribute
the sealant in the tire.
• In the second stage, you need to check
the tire pressure and adjust, if necessary,
to the vehicle's specified tire inflation
pressure.
First Stage: Reinflating the Tire with
Sealing Compound and Air WARNING:
Do not stand directly
beside the tire while the compressor is
operating. This could cause personal injury
if the tire bursts.
Note: If the tire does not inflate to the
recommended tire pressure within 15
minutes, stop and call roadside assistance. WARNING: Watch the sidewall of the
tire when inflating. If any cracks, bumps or
similar damage appears, switch the
compressor off and let the air out by means
of the pressure relief valve. Do not
continue driving with this tire. This could
cause loss of vehicle control. WARNING:
Do not run the engine
when operating the air compressor unless
the vehicle is outdoors or in a
well-ventilated area.
Preparation: Park the vehicle in a safe, level
and secure area, away from moving traffic.
Turn the hazard lights on. Apply the parking
brake and turn the engine off. Inspect the
flat tire for visible damage.
Sealant compound contains latex. Use
appropriate precautions to avoid any allergic
reactions.
Do not remove any foreign object that has
pierced the tire. If a puncture is located in
the tire sidewall, stop and call roadside
assistance. 1.
Remove the valve cap from the tire valve.
2. Unwrap the dual purpose hose (black tube) from the back of the compressor
housing.
3. Fasten the hose to the tire valve by turning the connector clockwise. Tighten
the connection securely. 331

4. Plug the power cable into the 12-volt
power point in the vehicle.
5. Remove the warning sticker found on the
casing/housing and place it on the center
of the steering wheel.
6. Start the vehicle and leave the engine running so the compressor does not
drain the vehicle ’s battery. 7. Turn dial (A) clockwise to the sealant
position. Turn the kit on by pressing the
on/off button (B). 8.
Inflate the tire to the pressure shown on
the tire label located on the edge of
driver door or the door jamb area. For
the first 45-60 seconds when the sealant
is being pumped into the tire, the air
pressure gauge may indicate a pressure
higher than the label pressure. This is
normal and should be no reason for
concern.
The pressure gauge reading
indicates the tire inflation pressure after
about 60 seconds of operation during
the tire repair process. The final tire
pressure should be checked with the
compressor turned OFF in order to get
an accurate pressure reading.

’s oils and
fluids at the specified intervals or in
conjunction with a repair. Flushing is a viable
way to change fluid for many vehicle
sub-systems during scheduled maintenance. It is critical that systems are flushed only with
new fluid that is the same as that required
to fill and operate the system or using a
Ford-approved flushing chemical.
