2014 LINCOLN MKZ HYBRID climate control

Whenever you add coolant, check the
coolant level in the inverter system
controller coolant reservoir the next few
times you drive the vehicle. If necessary,
add enough prediluted coolant to bring
the inverter system controller coolant level
to the proper level.
Recycled Engine Coolant
Ford Motor Company does not
recommend the use of recycled engine
coolant since a Ford-approved recycling
process is not yet available.
Used engine coolant should be disposed
of in an appropriate manner. Follow your
community’
s regulations and standards for
recycling and disposing of automotive
fluids.
Severe Climates
If you drive in extremely cold climates:
• It may be necessary to have an
authorized Ford dealer increase the
coolant concentration above 50%.
• A coolant concentration of 60% will
provide improved freeze point
protection. Engine coolant
concentrations above 60% will
decrease the overheat protection
characteristics of the engine coolant
and may cause engine damage. If you drive in extremely hot climates:
•
It may be necessary to have an
authorized Ford dealer decrease the
coolant concentration to 40%.
• A coolant concentration of 40% will
provide improved overheat protection.
Engine coolant concentrations below
40% will decrease the corrosion/freeze
protection characteristics of the engine
coolant and may cause engine
damage.
Vehicles driven year-round in non-extreme
climates should use prediluted coolant
meeting the Ford specification for optimum
cooling system and engine protection.
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.

MKZ (CC9) Maintenance

Tire Quality Grades apply to new
pneumatic passenger car tires. They
do not apply to deep tread,
winter-type snow tires, space-saver or
temporary use spare tires, light truck
or LT type tires, tires with nominal rim
diameters of 10 to 12 inches or limited
production tires as defined in Title 49
Code of Federal Regulations Part
575.104 (c)(2).
U.S. Department of Transportation
Tire quality grades: The U.S.
Department of Transportation requires
Ford Motor Company to give you the
following information about tire grades
exactly as the government has written
it.
Treadwear
The treadwear grade is a comparative
rating based on the wear rate of the
tire when tested under controlled
conditions on a specified government
test course. For example, a tire graded
150 would wear one and one-half (1
½) times as well on the government
course as a tire graded 100. The
relative performance of tires depends
upon the actual conditions of their
use, however, and may depart
significantly from the norm due to
variations in driving habits, service
practices, and differences in road
characteristics and climate. Traction AA A B C WARNING
The traction grade assigned to
this tire is based on
straight-ahead braking traction tests,
and does not include acceleration,
cornering, hydroplaning or peak
traction characteristics. The traction grades, from highest to
lowest are AA, A, B, and C. The grades
represent the tire
’s ability to stop on
wet pavement as measured under
controlled conditions on specified
government test surfaces of asphalt
and concrete. A tire marked C may
have poor traction performance.
Temperature A B C WARNING
The temperature grade for this
tire is established for a tire that
is properly inflated and not
overloaded. Excessive speed,
underinflation, or excessive loading,
either separately or in combination,
can cause heat buildup and possible
tire failure. The temperature grades are A (the
highest), B and C, representing the
tire
’s resistance to the generation of
heat and its ability to dissipate heat
when tested under controlled
conditions on a specified indoor
laboratory test wheel. Sustained high
temperature can cause the material
of the tire to degenerate and reduce
tire life, and excessive temperature

Power
Motor-to-wheel flow shows the direction of power flow between the wheels
and the electric motor.
A
Electric Motor
represents the hybrid electric motor. The higher the motor
power is, the larger the circle around this node. Any time the vehicle is ready
to be driven, the motor node illuminates.
B
Battery-to-motor flow 1
shows the direction of power flow between the
high-voltage battery and the electric motor. Flow toward the motor indicates
the battery is providing power to accelerate the vehicle (discharging t\
he battery).
Flow toward the battery indicates the electric motor is providing power \
to the
battery (charging the battery).
C
Other 2
includes all power usage from the low voltage accessories such as the
climate control fan, headlights and heated seats. The higher the power u\
sage
is from these accessories, the larger the circle around the node. This node
illuminates anytime the vehicle is on since there is always some low lev\
el power
in use.
D
Climate 2,3
includes the power usage from the high-voltage climate control
components such as the electric A/C compressor. The higher the power usage
is from these components, the larger the circle around this node.
