2013 LINCOLN MKZ fuel cap

4. Insert either the fuel fill nozzle or
the fuel fill funnel provided with
the vehicle several times to allow
the inlet to close properly. This will
dislodge any debris preventing the
inlet from sealing.
If this action corrects the problem, the
message may not reset immediately.
It may take several driving cycles for
the message to turn off. A driving
cycle consists of an engine start-up
(after four or more hours with the
engine off) followed by city or
highway driving. Continuing to drive
with the message on may cause the
service engine soon lamp to turn on
as well.
FUEL CONSUMPTION
Note: The amount of usable fuel in the
empty reserve varies and should not be
relied upon to increase driving range.
When refueling your vehicle after the
fuel gauge indicates empty, you might
not be able to refuel the full amount of
the advertised capacity of the fuel tank
due to the empty reserve still present
in the tank.
Empty reserve is the amount of fuel
remaining in the tank after the fuel
gauge indicates empty. Do not rely on
this fuel for driving. The usable
capacity of the fuel tank is the amount
of fuel that can be put into the tank
after the gauge indicates empty. The
advertised capacity is the total fuel
tank size – it is the combined usable
capacity plus the empty reserve. Filling the Tank
For consistent results when filling the
fuel tank:
•
Turn the ignition off before fueling;
an inaccurate reading results if the
engine is left running.
• Use the same fill rate
(low-medium-high) each time the
tank is filled.
• Allow no more than two automatic
click-offs when filling.
Results are most accurate when the
filling method is consistent.
Calculating Fuel Economy
Do not measure fuel economy during
the first 1000 miles (1600 kilometers)
of driving (this is your engine ’s
break-in period); a more accurate
measurement is obtained after 2000
miles - 3000 miles (3200 kilometers
- 4800 kilometers). Also, fuel
expense, frequency of fill ups or fuel
gauge readings are not accurate ways
to measure fuel economy.
1. Fill the fuel tank completely and record the initial odometer reading.
2. Each time you fill the tank, record the amount of fuel added.
3. After at least three to five tank fill ups, fill the fuel tank and record
the current odometer reading.
4. Subtract your initial odometer reading from the current odometer
reading.

LOAD LIMIT
Vehicle loading - with and
without a trailer
This section will guide you in the
proper loading of your vehicle,
trailer or both, to keep your loaded

ENGINE COOLANT CHECK -
2.0L ECOBOOST™/3.7L
Checking the Engine Coolant
When the engine is cold, check the
concentration and level of the engine
coolant at the intervals listed in the
scheduled maintenance information.
See Scheduled Maintenance (page
440
).
Note: Make sure that the level is
between the MIN and MAX marks on
the coolant reservoir.
Note: Coolant expands when it is hot.
The level may extend beyond the MAX
mark
Note: If the level is at the MIN mark,
below the MIN mark, or empty, add
coolant immediately. See
Adding
Engine Coolant in this chapter.
The coolant concentration should be
maintained within 48% to 50%,
which equates to a freeze point
between -30 F degrees (-34 C) and
-34 F (-37 C).

•
A connected Bluetooth-enabled
phone must have the ability to
make and maintain an outgoing
call at the time of the incident.
• A connected Bluetooth-enabled
phone must have adequate
network coverage, battery power
and signal strength.
• The vehicle must have battery
power and be located in the U.S.,
Canada or in a territory in which 911
is the emergency number.
In the Event of a Crash
Not all crashes deploy an airbag or
activate the fuel pump shut-off
(which would activate 911 Assist);
however, if 911 Assist is triggered,
SYNC tries to contact emergency
services. If a connected phone is
damaged or loses connection to
SYNC, SYNC searches for, and tries
to connect to, any available previously
paired phone and tries to make the
call to 911.
Before making the call:
• SYNC provides a short window of
time (about 10 seconds) to cancel
the call. Failure to cancel the call
results in SYNC attempting to dial
911.
• SYNC says the following, or a
similar message: "SYNC will
attempt to call 911, to cancel the
call, press Cancel on your screen
or press and hold the phone button
on your steering wheel." If the call is not cancelled and a
successful call is made, a
pre-recorded message is played for
the 911 operator, then the occupant(s)
in the vehicle is able to talk with the
operator. Be prepared to provide your
name, phone number and location
immediately, because not all 911
systems are capable of receiving this
information electronically.
911 Assist May Not Work If
•
Your cellular phone or 911 Assist
hardware was damaged in a crash.
• The vehicle's battery or the SYNC
system has no power.
• The phone(s) paired and
connected to the system was
thrown from the vehicle.
911 Assist Privacy Notice
Once 911 Assist is set on, it may
disclose to emergency services that
the vehicle has been in a crash
involving the deployment of an airbag
or activation of the fuel pump
shut-off. Certain versions or updates
to 911 Assist may also be capable of
electronically or verbally disclosing to
911 operators the vehicle location or
other details about the vehicle or
crash to assist 911 operators to
provide the most appropriate
emergency services. If you do not
want to disclose this information, do
not turn the feature on.
