2014 LINCOLN MKZ fuel cap

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.
5. Calculate fuel economy by dividing miles traveled by gallons used (For
Metric: Multiply liters used by 100,
then divide by kilometers traveled).
Keep a record for at least one month
and record the type of driving (city or
highway). This provides an accurate
estimate of the vehicle’s fuel economy
under current driving conditions.
Additionally, keeping records during
summer and winter show how
temperature impacts fuel economy.
In general, lower temperatures mean
lower fuel economy.

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
vehicle weight within its design
rating capability, with or without
a trailer. Properly loading your
vehicle will provide maximum
return of vehicle design
performance. Before loading your
vehicle, familiarize yourself withthe following terms for
determining your vehicle’s weight
ratings, with or without a trailer,
from the vehicle’s Tire Label or
Safety Compliance Certification
Label:
Base Curb Weight - is the weight
of the vehicle including a full tank
of fuel and all standard
equipment. It does not include
passengers, cargo, or optional
equipment.
Vehicle Curb Weight - is the
weight of your new vehicle when
you picked it up from your
authorized dealer plus any
aftermarket equipment.
E143816
PAYLOAD
Payload -
is the combined weight
of cargo and passengers that the
vehicle is carrying. The maximum
payload for your vehicle can be
found on the Tire Label on the
B-Pillar or the edge of the driver
door (vehicles exported outside
the US and Canada may not have
a Tire Label). Look for “THE
COMBINED WEIGHT OF
OCCUPANTS AND CARGO
SHOULD NEVER EXCEED XXX
kg OR XXX lb.” for maximum payload. The payload listed on the
Tire Label is the maximum
payload for the vehicle as built by
the assembly plant. If you install
any aftermarket or
authorized-dealer installed
equipment on the vehicle, you
must subtract the weight of the
equipment from the payload listed
on the Tire Label in order to
determine the new payload.

JUMP-STARTING THE
VEHICLE
WARNINGS
The gases around the battery
can explode if exposed to
flames, sparks, or lit cigarettes. An
explosion could result in injury or
vehicle damage.
Batteries contain sulfuric acid
which can burn skin, eyes and
clothing, if contacted.
Use only an adequate-sized
cable with insulated clamps.
Preparing Your Vehicle
Note: Do not attempt to push-start
your automatic transmission vehicle.
Automatic transmissions do not have
push-start capability. Attempting to
push-start a vehicle with an automatic
transmission may cause transmission
damage.
Note: Use only a 12-volt supply to start
your vehicle.
Note: Do not disconnect the battery
of the disabled vehicle as this could
damage the vehicle's electrical system.
Park the booster vehicle close to the
hood of the disabled vehicle, making
sure the two vehicles do not touch.
Turn all accessories off.
Connecting the Jumper Cables
WARNING
Do not attach the cables to fuel
lines, engine rocker covers, the
intake manifold or electrical
components as grounding points. Stay
clear of moving parts. To avoid reverse
polarity connections, make sure that
you correctly identify the positive (+)
and negative (-) terminals on both the
disabled and booster vehicles before
connecting the cables.
Note: In the illustration, the bottom
vehicle represents the booster vehicle.

Roadside Emergencies

Only use oils certified for gasoline
engines by the American Petroleum
Institute (API). An oil with this
trademark symbol conforms to the
current engine and emission system
protection standards and fuel
economy requirements of the
International Lubricants Specification
Advisory Council (ILSAC), comprised
of U.S. and Japanese automobile
manufacturers.
1. Remove the filler cap.
2. Add engine oil that meets the Fordspecifications. See Capacities
and Specifications (page 329).
3. Replace the filler cap. Turn it until you feel a strong resistance.
OIL CHANGE INDICATOR
RESET
To reset the oil monitoring system
after an oil change, See General
Information (page 101).
ENGINE COOLANT CHECK
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
436).
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 (-34ºC) and
-34ºF (-37ºC).
Note: For best results, coolant
concentration should be tested with a
refractometer such as Rotunda tool
300-ROB75240 available from your
authorized dealer. Ford does not
recommend the use of hydrometers or
coolant test strips for measuring
coolant concentrations.
Note: Automotive fluids are not
interchangeable. Do not use engine
coolant or antifreeze or windshield
washer fluid outside of its specified
function and vehicle location.
Adding Engine Coolant
WARNINGS
Do not add engine coolant when
the engine is hot. Steam and
scalding liquids released from a hot
cooling system can burn you badly.
Also, you can be burned if you spill
coolant on hot engine parts.

Maintenance

7. Install the bolt cover (if equipped).
8. Reinstall the harness retaining clip into the front of the air filter
assembly.
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.
FUEL FILTER
Your vehicle is equipped with a
lifetime fuel filter that is integrated
with the fuel tank. Regular
maintenance or replacement is not
needed.
WASHER FLUID CHECK
WARNING
If you operate your vehicle in
temperatures below 40°F (5°C),
use washer fluid with antifreeze
protection. Failure to use washer fluid
with antifreeze protection in cold
weather could result in impaired
windshield vision and increase the risk
of injury or accident.
Note: The front and rear washer
systems are supplied from the same
reservoir.
Add fluid to fill the reservoir if the level
is low. Only use a washer fluid that
meets Ford specifications. See
Capacities and Specifications
(page 329).
State or local regulations on volatile
organic compounds may restrict the
use of methanol, a common
windshield washer antifreeze additive.
Washer fluids containing
non-methanol antifreeze agents
should be used only if they provide
cold weather protection without
damaging the vehicle’s paint finish,
wiper blades or washer system.
