Essential Information THX II® Certified Audio System* Fourteen strategically positioned, high-performance speakers deliver a home theater sound right in your vehicle. The system will automatically make adjustments to volume and sound distribution, based on vehicle speed and external road noise. 2 01 4 M K S Fuel-efficient Transmission Your vehicle has been designed to improve fuel economy by reducing fuel usage while coasting or decelerating. This may be perceived as a light to medium braking sensation when removing your foot from the accelerator pedal. Collision Warning System* Tire Pressure Monitoring System Your vehicle has a tire pressure monitoring system that illuminates a low tire pressure warning light in your instrument cluster when one or more of your tires is significantly underinflated. If this happens, stop and check your tires as soon as possible. Inflate them to the proper pressure. Refer to the Inflating Your Tires section in the Wheels and Tires chapter of your Owner's Manual for more information. Fuel Tank Capacity/Fuel Info Your vehicle has a 19.0 gallon (71.9L) fuel tank. Use only UNLEADED fuel or UNLEADED fuel blended with a maximum of 15% ethanol. Do not use fuel ethanol (E85), diesel, fuel-methanol, leaded fuel or any other fuel because it could damage or impair the emission control system. This system is designed to alert the driver of certain collision risks. Radar sensors 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 tone 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. Easy Fuel® System With this system, push to release the fuel door, insert the nozzle and begin fueling. It is self-sealing and therefore protected against dust, dirt, water, snow and ice. Wait 10 seconds from the time the refueling nozzle is shut-off until you remove the nozzle from the vehicle to allow residual fuel in the nozzle to drain into the tank. When using a portable fuel container, slowly insert the fuel funnel (located in the spare tire compartment) and pour the fuel into the funnel. Note: Do not use aftermarket funnels as they will not work with the Easy Fuel system and may cause damage. Properly clean the funnel after each use. Roadside Assistance Your new Lincoln vehicle comes with the assurance and support of 24-hour emergency roadside assistance. To receive roadside assistance in the United States, call 1-800-521-4140. In Canada, call 1-800-665-2006. Towing Towing your vehicle behind an RV or any other vehicle may be limited. Refer to the Towing the Vehicle on Four Wheels section in the Towing chapter of your Owner's Manual for more information. Location of Spare Tire and Tools Your spare tire and tools are located beneath the carpeted floor panel in the trunk of your vehicle. The spare tire is designed for emergency use only and should be replaced as soon as possible. For complete details on changing your tire, refer to the Changing a Road Wheel section in the Wheels and Tires chapter of your Owner's Manual. Rain-sensing Wipers If activated, your wipers will automatically turn on when moisture is present on the windshield. The wiper speed will vary based on the amount of moisture detected and the sensitivity setting. To deactivate, turn your wiper controls off. Note: Make sure that this feature is turned off before entering a car wash. *if equipped Rear Window Buffeting When one or both of your rear windows are open, you may hear a wind throb or buffeting noise.
