2013 LINCOLN MKZ HYBRID stop start

Note:
If your battery has a
cover/shield, make sure it is reinstalled
after the battery has been cleaned or
replaced.
Note: See an authorized dealer for low
voltage battery access, testing, or
replacement.
When a low voltage battery
replacement is necessary, see an
authorized dealer to replace the low
voltage battery with a Ford
recommended replacement low
voltage battery that matches the
electrical requirements of the vehicle
To ensure proper operation of the
battery management system (BMS),
do not allow a technician to connect
any electrical device ground
connection directly to the low voltage
battery negative post. A connection
at the low voltage battery negative
post can cause inaccurate
measurements of the battery
condition and potential incorrect
system operation.
Note: If a person adds electrical or
electronic accessories or components
to the vehicle, the accessories or
components may adversely affect the
low voltage battery performance and
durability and may also affect the
performance of other electrical
systems in the vehicle.
For longer, trouble-free operation,
keep the top of the battery clean and
dry. Also, make certain the battery
cables are always tightly fastened to
the battery terminals. If you see any corrosion on the battery
or terminals, remove the cables from
the terminals and clean with a wire
brush. You can neutralize the acid with
a solution of baking soda and water.
When a battery replacement is
required, the battery should only be
replaced with a Ford recommended
replacement battery that matches
the electrical requirements of the
vehicle.
Because your vehicle
’s engine is
electronically-controlled by a
computer, some engine control
settings are maintained by power
from the low voltage battery. Some
engine computer settings, like the idle
trim and fuel trim strategy, optimize
the driveability and performance of
the engine. Some other computer
settings, like the clock and radio
station presets, are also maintained
in memory by power from the low
voltage battery. When a technician
disconnects and connects the low
voltage battery, these settings are
erased. Complete the following
procedure in order to restore the
settings:
1. With the vehicle at a complete stop, set the parking brake.
2. Shift the transmission into P.
3. Turn off all accessories.
4. Step on the brake pedal and start the vehicle.

MKZ (CC9) Maintenance

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 clear tube from the compressor housing.
3. Remove the tube cap and fasten the metal connector of the tube to
the tire valve, turning clockwise.
Make sure the connection is tightly
fastened. 4. Plug the power cable into the
12-volt power point in the vehicle.
5. Remove the warning sticker found
on the canister and place it on the
top of the instrument panel or the
center of the dash.
6. Start the vehicle only if the vehicle
is outdoors or in a well-ventilated
area. 7. Push and turn dial (A)
counterclockwise to the sealant
position. Turn on the kit by pressing
the on/off button (B). 8.
Inflate the tire to the pressure
listed on the tire label located on
the driver's door or the door jamb
area. When the sealing compound
is first added into the tire, the air
pressure gauge reading on the
compressor unit may indicate a
higher value; this is normal and
should be no reason for concern.
The pressure will drop after about
30 seconds of operation. The tire
pressure has to be checked with
the compressor in the OFF position
to get the correct tire pressure
reading.

Each tire, including the spare
(if provided), should be
checked monthly when cold
and inflated to the inflation pressure
recommended by the vehicle
manufacturer on the vehicle placard
or tire inflation pressure label. (If your
vehicle has tires of a different size
than the size indicated on the vehicle
placard or tire inflation pressure label,
you should determine the proper tire
inflation pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your
vehicle has been equipped with a tire
pressure monitoring system (TPMS)
that illuminates a low tire pressure
telltale when one or more of your tires
is significantly under-inflated.
Accordingly, when the low tire
pressure telltale illuminates, you
should stop and check your tires as
soon as possible, and inflate them to
the proper pressure. Driving on a
significantly under-inflated tire causes
the tire to overheat and can lead to
tire failure. Under-inflation also
reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread
life, and may affect the vehicle ’s
handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a
substitute for proper tire maintenance,
and it is the driver ’s responsibility to
maintain correct tire pressure, even if
under-inflation has not reached the
level to trigger illumination of the
TPMS low tire pressure telltale. 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.

MKZ (CC9) Wheels and Tires

Important: Remember to replace
the wheel valve stems when the
road tires are replaced on your
vehicle
It is recommended that the two
front tires or two rear tires
generally be replaced as a pair.
The tire pressure sensors mounted
in the wheels (originally installed
on your vehicle) are not designed
to be used in aftermarket wheels.
The use of wheels or tires not
recommended by Ford Motor
Company may affect the
operation of your tire pressure
monitoring system.
If the TPMS indicator is flashing,
your TPMS is malfunctioning. Your
replacement tire might be
incompatible with your TPMS, or
some component of the TPMS
may be damaged.
Safety Practices
WARNINGS
If your vehicle is stuck in
snow, mud or sand, do not
rapidly spin the tires; spinning the
tires can tear the tire and cause
an explosion. A tire can explode in
as little as three to five seconds. Do not spin the wheels at
over 35 mph (56 km/h). The
tires may fail and injure a
passenger or bystander. Driving habits have a great deal to
do with your tire mileage and
safety.
•
Observe posted speed limits
• Avoid fast starts, stops and
turns
• Avoid potholes and objects on
the road
• Do not run over curbs or hit the
tire against a curb when
parking
Highway Hazards
No matter how carefully you drive
there ’s always the possibility that
you may eventually have a flat tire
on the highway. Drive slowly to the
closest safe area out of traffic.
This may further damage the flat
tire, but your safety is more
important.
If you feel a sudden vibration or
ride disturbance while driving, or
you suspect your tire or vehicle
has been damaged, immediately
reduce your speed. Drive with
caution until you can safely pull
off the road. Stop and inspect the
tires for damage. If you cannot
detect a cause, have the vehicle
towed to the nearest repair facility
or tire dealer to have the vehicle
inspected.
