2014 LINCOLN MKZ HYBRID light

Note:
If your engine is misfiring, excessive
exhaust temperatures could damage the
catalytic converter or other vehicle
components.
The service engine soon indicator lights
when the you first switch on your vehicle,
prior to engine start, to check the bulb and
to indicate whether the vehicle is ready
for inspection maintenance testing.
Normally, the service engine soon light
will stay on until the engine cranks, 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 inspection maintenance testing.
See Emission Control System (page 164).
Stability Control Flashes when the system is
active. If it stays lit or does not
light when you switch on the
ignition, this indicates a malfunction.
During a malfunction the system will switch
off. Have an authorized dealer check the

Vehicle Range
Indicates the estimated distance the
vehicle will travel with the energy currently
available. For Hybrid, the vehicle range
estimate is based on the fuel remaining in
the gasoline tank. For Energi, the total
estimated range equals the range
available in Hybrid Mode fueled by
gasoline, plus the electric range available
in Plug-in Power Mode. Changes in driving
pattern may cause the values to vary.
Inform
Inform shows the fuel level, battery display
and average fuel economy, with options
available for the Battery Display and an
Instantaneous Fuel Economy gauge. When
the vehicle is operating on battery power
only with the engine off, EV is displayed. Enlighten
Enlighten displays power demand in
addition to the typical information and
options from Inform. The Instantaneous
Fuel Economy gauge will be displayed by
default. When the vehicle is operating on
battery power only with the engine off, EV
is displayed and the gauge fill is shown in
blue. When both the engine and high
voltage battery are providing power the
gauge fill is white.
Engage
Engage replaces the power demand
gauge from Enlighten with separate
gauges for engine power and high voltage
battery power. The engine power gauge
fill is white and the high voltage battery
power gauge fill is blue. When the vehicle
is operating on battery power only with
the engine off, EV is displayed.

MKZ (CC9) Information Displays

Empower
Empower adds an engine on/off threshold
to the power demand gauge from
Enlighten. The threshold is shown as a
blue double outline. The gauge is
designed to show you how close you are
to the gasoline engine on/off threshold
and how much power you are requesting
based on how far you press the
accelerator pedal.
When power demand is below the
threshold the vehicle is operating on
battery power only with the engine off, EV
is displayed and the gauge fill is shown in
blue.
When power demand exceeds the
threshold both the engine and the high
voltage battery provide power and the
gauge fill is white.
When power demand surpasses the amber
indicator, this level of demand and
associated fuel economy are shown in
amber.
Note:
You can reset your average fuel
economy by pressing and holding the OK
button on the left hand steering wheel
controls.
MyView

screen.
Unique content available in MyView:
• Accessory Power— Indicates electrical
power demands from your vehicle ’s
accessory systems. Accessories use
power but do not contribute to
propelling the vehicle. The gauge
separately displays power demand in
kilowatts (kW) for climate and other
accessories.
Climate includes the power being used by
high voltage climate control components
such as the electric A/C compressor and
the electric heater (Energi vehicles only)
Other includes all power being used by
the low voltage accessories (cabin fans,
headlights, heated seats, etc.).
• Coolant Temp – Indicates engine
coolant temperature. At normal
operating temperature, the level
indicator will be white and will be in
the normal range (between H and C).
If the engine coolant temperature
exceeds the normal range, the level
indicator will change to red to indicate
that the engine is overheating. Stop
the vehicle as soon as safely possible,
turn off the vehicle and let the engine
cool.

AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL
Note:
You can switch temperature units
between Fahrenheit and Celsius. See
Settings (page 323). Driver temperature controls:
Press + or - to increase or decrease the air
temperature for the driver side of the vehicle. This control also adjusts the
passenger side temperature when dual zone operation is disengaged.
A
Fan speed control: Press on either side of the fan icon to increase or decrease
the volume of air circulated in your vehicle.
B
Passenger temperature controls:
Press + or - to increase or decrease the air
temperature for the passenger side of the vehicle.
C
Power:
Press to turn the system on and off. When the system is off, outside air
cannot enter the vehicle.
D
Recirculated air: Press the button to switch between outside air and recirculated
air. When you select recirculated air, the button illuminates and the air currently
in the passenger compartment recirculates. This may reduce the time need\
ed
to cool the interior (when used with A/C) and may reduce unwanted odor\
s from
entering your vehicle. Recirculated air may turn off automatically in all airflow
modes except MAX A/C to reduce the possibility of fogging.
E
A/C:
Press the button to turn on or turn off the air conditioning system. To
improve air conditioning when starting your vehicle, drive with the windows
slightly open for two to three minutes. Use A/C with recirculated air to\
improve
cooling performance and efficiency.

SITTING IN THE CORRECT
POSITION
WARNINGS
Sitting improperly, out of position or
with the seat back reclined too far
can take weight off the seat cushion and
affect the decision of the passenger
sensing system, resulting in serious injury
or death in the event of a crash. Always
sit upright against your seat back, with
your feet on the floor. Do not recline the seat back as this
can cause the occupant to slide
under the safety belt, resulting in serious
injury in the event of a crash. Do not place objects higher than the
seat back to reduce the risk of
serious injury in the event of a crash or
during heavy braking. When you use them properly, the seat,
head restraint, safety belt and air bags will
provide optimum protection in the event
of a crash. We recommend that you follow these
guidelines:
•
Sit in an upright position with the base
of your spine as far back as possible.
• Do not recline the seat back more than
30 degrees.
• Adjust the head restraint so that the
top of it is level with the top of your
head and as far forward as possible.
Make sure that you remain
comfortable.
• Keep sufficient distance between
yourself and the steering wheel. We
recommend a minimum of 10 inches
(25 centimeters) between your
breastbone and the air bag cover.
• Hold the steering wheel with your arms
slightly bent.
• Bend your legs slightly so that you can
press the pedals fully.
• Position the shoulder strap of the
safety belt over the center of your
shoulder and position the lap strap
tightly across your hips.
Make sure that your driving position is
comfortable and that you can maintain full
control of your vehicle.
HEAD RESTRAINTS WARNINGS
Fully adjust the head restraint before
you sit in or operate your vehicle.
This will help minimize the risk of neck
injury in the event of a crash. Do not adjust
the head restraint when your vehicle is
moving.
