2014 LINCOLN MKZ traction control

•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 times as well on
the government course as a tire
graded 100.
• Traction: 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: 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.
M. Maximum Inflation
Pressure: Indicates the tire
manufacturers' maximum
permissible pressure or the
pressure at which the maximum
load can be carried by the tire. This
pressure is normally higher than
the vehicle manufacturer's
recommended cold inflation
pressure which can be found on the Safety Compliance
Certification Label (affixed to
either the door hinge pillar,
door-latch post, or the door edge
that meets the door-latch post,
next to the driver's seating
position), or Tire Label which is
located on the B-Pillar or the edge
of the driver’s door. The cold
inflation pressure should never be
set lower than the recommended
pressure on the vehicle label.
The tire suppliers may have
additional markings, notes or
warnings such as standard load
or radial tubeless.

USING SNOW CHAINS
WARNINGS
If you choose to install snow tires
on your vehicle, they must be the
same size, construction, and load
range as the original tires listed on the
tire placard, and they must be
installed on all four wheels. Mixing
tires of different size or construction
on your vehicle can adversely affect
your vehicle's handling and braking,
and may lead to loss of vehicle
control.
Do not use snow chains or cables
on this vehicle as they may cause
damage to your vehicle which may
lead to loss of vehicle control.
Snow chains have not been approved
for use on your vehicle.
The original equipment tires on your
vehicle may have an all-weather tread
design to provide traction, handling,
and braking performance in
year-round driving. You may install
snow tires for improved traction when
driving in areas with sustained periods
of snow or icy driving conditions.
CHANGING A ROAD WHEEL
WARNINGS
The use of tire sealants may
damage your tire pressure
monitoring system and should not be
used. However, if you must use a
sealant, the tire pressure monitoring
system sensor and valve stem on the
wheel must be replaced by an
authorized dealer.
If the tire pressure monitor
sensor becomes damaged, it will
no longer function. See Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (page 303).
Note: The tire pressure monitoring
system indicator light will illuminate
when the spare tire is in use. To restore
the full function of the monitoring
system, all road wheels equipped with
tire pressure monitoring sensors must
be mounted on the vehicle.
If you get a flat tire while driving, do
not apply the brake heavily. Instead,
gradually decrease your speed. Hold
the steering wheel firmly and slowly
move to a safe place on the side of
the road.
Have a flat serviced by an authorized
dealer in order to prevent damage to
the tire pressure monitoring system
sensors. See Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (page 303).
Replace the spare tire with a road tire
as soon as possible. During repairing
or replacing of the flat tire, have the
authorized dealer inspect the tire
pressure monitoring system sensor
for damage.

Distraction Hazard: Any navigation
features may require manual
(non-verbal) setup. Attempting to
perform such set-up or insert data
while driving can seriously distract
your attention and could cause an
accident or other serious
consequences. Stop the vehicle in a
safe and legal manner before
attempting these operations.
Let Your Judgment Prevail: Any
navigation features are provided only
as an aid. Make your driving decisions
based on your observations of local
conditions and existing traffic
regulations. Any such feature is not a
substitute for your personal judgment.
Any route suggestions made by this
system should never replace any local
traffic regulations or your personal
judgment or knowledge of safe driving
practices.
Route Safety: Do not follow the
route suggestions if doing so would
result in an unsafe or illegal maneuver,
if you would be placed in an unsafe
situation, or if you would be directed
into an area that you consider unsafe.
The driver is ultimately responsible for
the safe operation of the vehicle and
therefore, must evaluate whether it is
safe to follow the suggested
directions.
Potential Map Inaccuracy: Maps
used by this system may be
inaccurate because of changes in
roads, traffic controls or driving
conditions. Always use good judgment
and common sense when following
the suggested routes. Emergency Services: Do not rely on
any navigation features included in
the system to route you to emergency
services. Ask local authorities or an
emergency services operator for these
locations. Not all emergency services
such as police, fire stations, hospitals
and clinics are likely to be contained
in the map database for such
navigation features.
