INSTRUMENT PANEL Use extreme caution when using any device or feature that may take your attention off the road. Ford recommends against the use of any hand-held devices while driving and that you comply with all applicable laws. Your primary responsibility is the safe operation of the vehicle. Message center Displays important vehicle information through a constant monitoring of vehicle systems. The system will notify you of potential problems with a display of warnings followed by a long indicator chime. Use the INFO, SETUP and RESET buttons to access various menus and settings within the message center. Refer to your Owner's Guide for more information. C OLLISION WARNING SYSTEM (if equipped)  Uses a radar sensor to detect if vehicles ahead of you which are moving in the same direction may be a collision risk. The system will alert you with an audible chime and red warning light which will appear above the dash. If the risk of collision increases, the system will increase brake support to help reduce collision speed. The collision warning system is active at speeds above approximately 5 mph (8 km/h). Note: Driving aids do not replace the need to watch where the vehicle is moving and brake where necessary. The system will not brake without the driver pressing the brake pedal. Refer to your Owner's Guide for safety information, more detail and limitations. P ower adjustable  foot pedalS Press the bottom of the control  to move the pedals closer to you or the top of the control  to move the pedals further away from you. The pedals should only be adjusted when the vehicle is stopped and in P (Park). STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS Paddle shifters Your SelectShift Automatic™ transmission (SST) gives you the ability to manually change gears without taking your hands off the wheel. To use, move the gearshift lever from the D (drive) position to the M (manual) position. To upshift, pull the paddle shifters on the steering wheel towards you. To downshift, push the paddle shifters on the steering wheel control forward. The current gear will display in the instrument cluster. For more information, refer to your Owner's Guide. audio SYSTEM Your mobile media system allows you to listen to, record and save music, play DVDs (audio and video) and also access some climate control functions. Press the hard buttons on the system face (such as RADIO or MEDIA) to access corresponding menus on the touchscreen. Tabs will appear along the left side of the touchscreen which represent the major components within that menu. Simply touch the desired tab to access. ESSENTIAL INFORMATION EASY FUEL FUEL SYSTEM With this system, you simply press open the fuel filler door, insert the nozzle and begin fueling. Wait five seconds from the time the refueling nozzle is shut-off until the nozzle is pulled back out of the fill pipe to allow residual fuel in the nozzle to drain into the tank. It is selfsealing and therefore protected against dust, dirt, water, snow and ice. To use a portable fuel container, slowly insert the fuel funnel (located in the spare tire compartment), and pour the fuel into the funnel. When done, clean the funnel or properly dispose of it. Extra funnels can be purchased from your authorized dealer. Do not use aftermarket funnels as they will not work with the Easy Fuel™ system and may cause damage. TM FUEL TANK CAPACITY/FUEL INFO Your vehicle has a fuel tank capacity of 18.6 gallons (70.4L). Your vehicle will run normally on 87 octane regular fuel. Premium fuel will provide improved performance. Do not use E85 fuels because your vehicle was not designed to run on fuels with more than 10% ethanol. If you have a 3.5L V6 EcoBoost™ engine, your vehicle is designed to run on regular fuel with an octane rating of 87 or higher. For best overall performance, premium fuel with an octane rating of 91 or higher is recommended. The performance gained by using premium fuel will be most noticeable in hot weather or in severe duty applications such as towing a trailer. Some stations offer fuels posted as 'Regular' with an octane rating below 87, particularly in high altitude areas. Fuels with octane levels below 87 are not recommended for either engine. Do not be concerned if your engine sometimes knocks lightly. However, if it knocks heavily while you are using fuel with the recommended octane rating, see your authorized dealer to prevent any engine damage. ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE Your new Lincoln MKT comes with the assurance and support of 24-hour emergency roadside assistance. Roadside assistance includes such services as: lockout assistance, limited fuel delivery, battery jump starts, changing a flat tire, towing, and winch out. To receive roadside assistance in the United States, call 1 (800) 241-3673. In Canada, call 1 (800) 665-2006. TIRE PRESSURE Check your tire pressure at least once a month and before long trips (including spare). The recommended specifications are on the Safety Compliance Certification Label or Tire Label located on the B-Pillar or the edge of the driver's door.

After sealant use, the TPMS sensor and valve stem on the wheel must be replaced by an authorized Ford dealer. Note: The sealant in the canister is to be used for one tire only.
