2013 LINCOLN MKZ HYBRID brake

Vehicle Information and General
Safety Practices
•
Know the make and model of your
vehicle.
• Review the owner ’s manual and
become familiar with your vehicle ’s
safety information and
recommended safety practices.
• Do not attempt to repair damaged
electric and hybrid-electric
vehicles yourself. Contact an
authorized Ford Dealer or vehicle
manufacturer representative for
service.
Crashes
A crash or impact significant enough
to require an emergency response for
conventional vehicles would also
require the same response for an
electric or hybrid-electric vehicle.
If possible
• Move your car to a safe, nearby
location and remain on the scene.
• Roll down the windows before
shutting your vehicle off.
• Place your vehicle in Park, set the
parking brake, turn off the vehicle,
activate the hazard lights, and
move your key(s) at least 16 feet
(5 meters) away from the vehicle. Always
•
Call 911 if assistance is needed and
advise that an electric or
hybrid-electric vehicle is involved.
• Do not touch exposed electrical
components or the engine
compartment, as a shock hazard
may exist.
• Avoid contact with leaking fluids
and gases, and remain out of the
way of oncoming traffic until
emergency responders arrive.
• When emergency responders
arrive, tell them that the vehicle
involved is an electric vehicle or
hybrid vehicle.
Fires
As with any vehicle, call 911
immediately if you see sparks, smoke
or flames coming from the vehicle.
• Exit the vehicle immediately.
• Advise 911 that an electric or
hybrid-electric vehicle is involved.
• As with any vehicle fire, do not
inhale smoke, vapors or gas from
the vehicle, as they may be
hazardous.
• Remain a safe distance upwind
and uphill from the vehicle fire.
• Stay out of the roadway and stay
out of the way of any oncoming
traffic while awaiting the arrival of
emergency responders.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Have your vehicle serviced regularly
to help maintain its roadworthiness
and resale value. There is a large
network of Ford authorized dealers
that are there to help you with their
professional servicing expertise. We
believe that their specially trained
technicians are best qualified to
service your vehicle properly and
expertly. They are supported by a wide
range of highly specialized tools
developed specifically for servicing
your vehicle.
To help you service your vehicle, we
provide scheduled maintenance
information which makes tracking
routine service easy. See Scheduled
Maintenance (page 444).
If your vehicle requires professional
service, your authorized dealer can
provide the necessary parts and
service. Check your warranty
information to find out which parts
and services are covered.
Use only recommended fuels,
lubricants, fluids and service parts
conforming to specifications.
Motorcraft® parts are designed and
built to provide the best performance
in your vehicle.
Precautions
• Do not work on a hot engine.
• Make sure that nothing gets
caught in moving parts. •
Do not work on a vehicle with the
engine running in an enclosed
space, unless you are sure you
have enough ventilation.
• Keep all open flames and other
burning material (such as
cigarettes) away from the battery
and all fuel related parts.
Working with the Engine Off
1. Set the parking brake and shift to P
(Park).
2. Turn off the engine and remove the
key (if equipped).
3. Block the wheels.
Working with the Engine On 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. 1. Set the parking brake and shift to
P
(Park).
2. Block the wheels

What You Should Know About
Fail-Safe Cooling
If the engine coolant supply is
depleted, this feature allows the
vehicle to be driven temporarily before
incremental component damage is
incurred. The
“fail-safe” distance
depends on ambient temperatures,
vehicle load and terrain.
How Fail-Safe Cooling Works
If the engine begins to overheat, the
engine coolant temperature gauge
will move to the red (hot) area and: The coolant temperature
warning light will illuminate.
The service engine soon
indicator will illuminate.
If the engine reaches a preset
over-temperature condition, the
engine will automatically switch to
alternating cylinder operation. Each
disabled cylinder acts as an air pump
and cools the engine.
When this occurs the vehicle will still
operate. However:
• The engine power will be limited.
• The air conditioning system will be
disabled.
Continued operation will increase the
engine temperature and the engine
will completely shut down, causing
steering and braking effort to increase. Once the engine temperature cools,
the engine can be re-started. Take
your vehicle to an authorized dealer
as soon as possible to minimize
engine damage.
When Fail-Safe Mode Is Activated WARNINGS
Fail-safe mode is for use during
emergencies only. Operate the
vehicle in fail-safe mode only as long
as necessary to bring the vehicle to
rest in a safe location and seek
immediate repairs. When in fail-safe
mode, the vehicle will have limited
power, will not be able to maintain
high-speed operation, and may
completely shut down without
warning, potentially losing engine
power, power steering assist, and
power brake assist, which may
increase the possibility of a crash
resulting in serious injury. Never remove the coolant
reservoir cap while the engine is
running or hot. Note:
Driving the vehicle without
repairing the engine problem increases
the chance of engine damage. Take
your vehicle to an authorized dealer as
soon as possible.
285
MKZ (CC9) Maintenance

You have limited engine power when
in the fail-safe mode, so drive the
vehicle with caution. The vehicle will
not be able to maintain high-speed
operation and the engine will run
rough. Remember that the engine is
capable of completely shutting down
automatically to prevent engine
damage, therefore:
1. Pull off the road as soon as safely
possible and turn off the engine.
2. Arrange for the vehicle to be taken
to an authorized dealer.
3. If this is not possible, wait a short period for the engine to cool.
4. Check the coolant level and replenish if low.
5. Re-start the engine and take your vehicle to an authorized dealer.
AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION FLUID
CHECK
Note: Transmission fluid should be
checked by an authorized dealer. If
required, fluid should be added by an
authorized dealer.
The automatic transmission does not
have a transmission fluid dipstick. Have an authorized dealer check and
change the transmission fluid at the
correct service interval. See
Scheduled Maintenance (page 444).
Your transmission does not consume
fluid. However, the fluid level should
be checked if the transmission is not
working properly, (i.e., if the
transmission slips or shifts slowly) or
if you notice some sign of fluid
leakage.
Do not use supplemental transmission
fluid additives, treatments or cleaning
agents. The use of these materials
may affect transmission operation
and result in damage to internal
transmission components.
BRAKE FLUID CHECK
Fluid levels between the MIN and MAX
lines are within the normal operating
range; there is no need to add fluid. If
the fluid levels are outside of the
normal operating range, the
performance of the system could be
compromised; seek service from your
authorized dealer immediately.
POWER STEERING FLUID
CHECK
Your vehicle is equipped with an
electric power steering (EPS) system.
There is no fluid reservoir to check or
fill.
