2013 LINCOLN MKZ fuel pressure

Low Tire Pressure Warning
It will illuminate when your
tire pressure is low. If the
lamp remains on with the
engine running or when driving, check
your tire pressure as soon as possible.
It will also illuminate momentarily
when you switch the ignition on to
confirm the lamp is functional. If it
does not illuminate when you switch
the ignition on, or begins to flash at
any time, have the system checked by
your authorized dealer.
Low Washer Fluid It will illuminate when the
windshield washer fluid is
low.
Parking Lamps It will illuminate when you
switch the parking lamps on.
Powertrain Fault Illuminates when a
powertrain or an AWD fault
has been detected. Contact
your authorized dealer as soon as
possible. Service Engine Soon If the service engine soon
indicator light stays
illuminated after the engine
is started, it indicates that the On
Board Diagnostics system (OBD) has
detected a malfunction of the vehicle
emissions control system. Refer to On
board diagnostics (OBD) in the Fuel
and Refueling chapter for more
information about having your vehicle
serviced. See Emission Control
System (page 161).
If the light is blinking, engine misfire is
occurring which could damage your
catalytic converter. Drive in a
moderate fashion (avoid heavy
acceleration and deceleration) and
have your vehicle serviced
immediately.
Note: Under engine misfire conditions,
excessive exhaust temperatures could
damage the catalytic converter or other
vehicle components.
The service engine soon indicator light
illuminates when the ignition is first
turned on prior to engine start to
check the bulb and to indicate
whether the vehicle is ready for
Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) testing.
Normally, the service engine soon light
will stay on until the engine is cranked,
then turn itself off if no malfunctions
are present. However, if after 15
seconds the service engine soon light
blinks eight times, it means that the
vehicle is not ready for I/M testing.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNINGS
Do not overfill the fuel tank. The
pressure in an overfilled tank
may cause leakage and lead to fuel
spray and fire. The fuel system may be under
pressure. If you hear a hissing
sound near the fuel filler door (Easy
Fuel capless fuel system), do not
refuel until the sound stops.
Otherwise, fuel may spray out, which
could cause serious personal injury. Automotive fuels can cause
serious injury or death if misused
or mishandled. The flow of fuel through a fuel
pump nozzle can produce static
electricity, which can cause a fire if
fuel is pumped into an ungrounded
fuel container. Fuel ethanol and gasoline may
contain benzene, which is a
cancer-causing agent. When refueling always shut the
engine off and never allow
sparks or open flames near the filler
neck. Never smoke while refueling.
Fuel vapor is extremely hazardous
under certain conditions. Care should
be taken to avoid inhaling excess
fumes. Observe the following guidelines
when handling automotive fuel: •
Extinguish all smoking materials
and any open flames before
refueling your vehicle.
• Always turn off the vehicle before
refueling.
• Automotive fuels can be harmful
or fatal if swallowed. Fuel such as
gasoline is highly toxic and if
swallowed can cause death or
permanent injury. If fuel is
swallowed, call a physician
immediately, even if no symptoms
are immediately apparent. The
toxic effects of fuel may not be
visible for hours.
• Avoid inhaling fuel vapors. Inhaling
too much fuel vapor of any kind
can lead to eye and respiratory
tract irritation. In severe cases,
excessive or prolonged breathing
of fuel vapor can cause serious
illness and permanent injury.
• Avoid getting fuel liquid in your
eyes. If fuel is splashed in the eyes,
remove contact lenses (if worn),
flush with water for 15 minutes and
seek medical attention. Failure to
seek proper medical attention
could lead to permanent injury.

Fuel and Refueling

Easy Fuel
™ Capless Fuel
System WARNING
The fuel system may be under
pressure. If you hear a hissing
sound near the fuel filler door, do not
refuel until the sound stops.
Otherwise, fuel may spray out, which
could cause serious personal injury. When fueling your vehicle:
1.
Put the vehicle in P (Park) and turn
the ignition off.
2. Open the fuel filler door. 3. Slowly insert the fuel filler nozzle
fully into the fuel system, and
leave the nozzle fully inserted to
open both doors until you are done
pumping. Hold handle higher
during insertion for easier access. 4. After you are done pumping fuel,
slowly remove the fuel filler
nozzle—allow about five to ten
seconds after pumping fuel before
removing the fuel filler nozzle. This
allows residual fuel to drain back
into the fuel tank and not spill onto
the vehicle.
Note: A fuel spillage concern may
occur if overfilling the fuel tank. Do not
overfill the tank to the point that the
fuel is able to bypass the fuel filler
nozzle. The overfilled fuel may run
down the drain located below and in
front of the fuel filler door.
If the fuel fill inlet was not properly
closed, a Check Fuel Fill Inlet
message may appear on the
instrument cluster.
At the next opportunity, do the
following:
1. Safely pull off the road.
2. Put the vehicle in P (Park) and turn
the ignition off.
3. Open the fuel filler door and remove any visible debris from the
fuel fill opening.

CLEANING THE ENGINE
Engines are more efficient when they
are clean because grease and dirt
buildup keep the engine warmer than
normal.
When washing:
•
Take care when using a power
washer to clean the engine. The
high-pressure fluid could penetrate
the sealed parts and cause
damage.
• Do not spray a hot engine with cold
water to avoid cracking the engine
block or other engine components.
• Spray Motorcraft® Engine
Shampoo and Degreaser on all
parts that require cleaning and
pressure rinse clean. In Canada,
use Motorcraft® Engine Shampoo.
• Never wash or rinse the engine
while it is hot or running; water in
the running engine may cause
internal damage.
• Never wash or rinse any ignition
coil, spark plug wire or spark plug
well, or the area in and around
these locations.
• Cover the battery, power
distribution box, and air filter
assembly to prevent water
damage when cleaning the engine. CLEANING THE WINDOWS
AND WIPER BLADES
The windows and wiper blades should
be cleaned regularly. If the wipers do
not wipe properly, substances on the
vehicle
’s glass or the wiper blades
may cause squeaking or chatter noise
from the blades, and streaking and
smearing of the windshield.
To clean these items, follow these
tips:
• The windows may be cleaned with
a non-abrasive cleaner such as
Motorcraft® Ultra-Clear Spray
Glass Cleaner.
• The wiper blades can be cleaned
with isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol or
Motorcraft® Premium Windshield
Washer Concentrate in the U.S., or
Premium Quality Windshield
Washer Fluid in Canada. Be sure
to replace wiper blades when they
appear worn or do not function
properly.
• Do not use abrasives, as they may
cause scratches
• Do not use fuel, kerosene, or paint
thinner to clean any parts.

Vehicle Care

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.
