Rear View Camera
This system provides a video image of the area behind your
vehicle. The display automatically appears in the touchscreen
when the vehicle is in reverse (R) and uses green, yellow and red
guides to aler t you of your proximit y to objects.
Front and Reverse Sensing Systems* This system sounds an audible warning tone if there is an obstacle
near the vehicle’s front or rear bumpers. As the vehicle moves
closer to the obstacle, the rate of the warning tone increases in
frequency. The front sensors are automatically activated when
the gearshift is in any position other than park (P) or neutral (N) \
and the vehicle speed is below 6 mph (10 km/h). The rear sensors
detect certain objects while the transmission is in reverse (R). See
the Parking Aids chapter in your Owner’s Manual for complete
information on your vehicle’s sensing systems.
Adaptive Headlamps The headlamp beams move in the same direction as the steering wheel, pro\
viding more visibility
when driving around curves. Active at speeds above 3 mph (5 km/h), it \
has a power-up movement
check feature. When you start your vehicle, the lamps track left to righ\
t, then back to center. To use,
place the lighting control into the autolamp position.

BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System)
with Cross Traffic Alert*
BLIS aids you in detecting vehicles that may have
entered into your blind spot area on both sides of
the vehicle, extending rearward from the exterior
mirrors to approximately 10 feet (3 meters) beyond
the bumper.
Cross traffic alert warns you of vehicles approaching
from the sides when the transmission is in reverse
(R). It detects approaching vehicles from up to
45 feet (14 meters) away.
Note: NEVER use BLIS or cross traffic alert as a
replacement for using the interior and exterior mirrors
and looking over your shoulder before changing
lanes. The systems are not replacements for careful
driving. Use both systems only as an assist.
Essential Information
Easy Fuel® System
With this system, you open the fuel
door, insert the nozzle and begin
fueling. It is self-sealing and therefore
protected against dust, dirt, water,
snow and ice. Wait between five and
ten seconds from the time the refueling
nozzle is shut-off until you remove the
nozzle from the vehicle to allow residual fuel in the nozzle to drain in\
to the tank.
When using a portable fuel container, slowly insert the fuel funnel (lo\
cated in the
spare tire compartment) and pour the fuel into the funnel.
Note: Do not use aftermarket funnels as they do not work with the Easy Fuel
system and may cause damage. Properly clean the funnel after each use.
Fuel Tank Capacity and Fuel Info
Fuel tank capacity varies on your MKZ, depending on your drive type and \
engine: 16.5 gallons (62.5 liters) for front-wheel drive models equipp\
ed with the
2.0L EcoBoost engine and 17.5 gallons (66.2 liters) for all-wheel driv\
e models
and those equipped with the 3.7L V6 engine. Use only UNLEADED gasoline
blended with a maximum of 15% ethanol and an 87 octane rating. Do not use E85
(ethanol), diesel, fuel-methanol, leaded fuel or any other fuel becaus\
e it could
damage or impair the emission control system.
Automatic Engine Shutdown
Your vehicle includes a feature that automatically shuts down the engine\
if it has
been idling for an extended period of time. The ignition also turns off \
in order
to save battery power. You can override this feature temporarily by pres\
sing
the brake or accelerator pedal, or by pressing OK or the RESET button in your
information display. Refer to the Information Displays chapter of your Owner’s
Manual for more details.

The operating switch replaces the conventional
handbrake, and is to the left of the steering column. To use,
pull the control up. The brake system warning lamp lights to
confirm that you applied the electric parking brake. You can
release the electric parking brake manually by switching on
the ignition, pressing the brake pedal and then pressing the
electric parking brake control down. Refer to the Brakes chapter of your Owner's
Manual for more details.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Your vehicle displays a low tire pressure warning
light
in y our information display when one or
more of your tires are significantly under-inflated. If
this happens, stop and check your tires as soon as
possible. Inflate them to the proper pressure. Refer

and Tires chapter of your Owner’s Manual for
more information.
Temporary Mobility Kit*
The kit is located under the load floor of the trunk.
The kit consists of an air compressor to reinflate
the tire and a sealing compound in a canister that
effectively seals most punctures caused by nails or
similar objects. The canister contains only enough
sealant compound for one tire. See an authorized
dealer for a replacement sealant canister after
each use.
This kit provides a temporary tire repair seal,
allowing you to drive your vehicle up to 120 miles
(200 kilometers) at a maximum speed of 50 mph
(80 km/h) to reach a tire service location. Note: After sealant use, the tire pressure monitoring
system sensor and valve stem on the wheel must be
replaced by an authorized dealer. For more details,
refer to the Wheels and Tires chapter of your
Owner’s Manual .
Location of Spare Tire and Tools*
Your spare tire and tools are located beneath the
carpeted floor panel in the trunk of your vehicle.
The spare tire is designed for emergency use only
and should be replaced as soon as possible. For
complete details on changing your tire, refer to the
Changing a Road Wheel section in the Wheels and
Tires chapter of your Owner’s Manual.
