2016 MKXEssential Information
Pre-Collision Assist
The system warns you of cer tain
collision risks. The system’s sensor
detects your vehicle’s rapid approach
to other vehicles traveling in the same
direction as your vehicle. When your
vehicle rapidly approaches another
vehicle, a red warning light flashes and
a tone sounds.
You can adjust your warning system’s
sensitivit y to any one of three
possible settings:
1. Alert: When activated, a red warning light flashes, an audible warning tone
sounds and a warning message shows in the information display.
2. Brake Support: The brake suppor t system assists the driver in reducing the
collision speed by lightly applying the brakes. If the risk of collision fur ther
increases after the warning light illuminates, the brake support prepares
the brake system for rapid braking. This may be apparent to the driver.
The system does not automatically activate the brakes, but if you press
the brake pedal, the system may apply full force, even if the brake pedal is
lightly pressed.
3. Active Braking: Active braking may activate if the system determines that a
collision is imminent. The system may help the driver reduce impact damage
or avoid the crash completely.
Note: Driving aids do not replace the need to watch where the vehicle is
moving and brake when necessar y. Refer to your Owner’s Manual for safet y
information, more details and limitations.
Lane Keeping System
The system notifies you to stay in your lane through the steering system and the
instrument cluster display when the front camera detects an unintentiona\
l drift
out of your lane is likely to occur. The system automatically detects and tracks the
road lane markings using a camera mounted behind the interior rear view \
mirror.
Press the button located on the left steering wheel stalk to switch the \
system on
or off. For more details, refer to the Driving Aids chapter of your Owner’s Manual.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Your vehicle has a tire pressure monitoring system that illuminates a low\
tire
pressure warning light
in your instrument cluster 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 to the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System section in the Wheels and Tires chapter of your Owner’s
Manual for more information.
Location of Spare Tire and Tools
Your spare tire and tools are located beneath the carpeted floor panel in the
cargo area of your vehicle. The spare tire is designed for emergency use only
and should be replaced as soon as possible. For complete details, refer to the
Wheels and Tires chapter of your Owner’s Manual.
Open Window Buffeting
You may hear a pulsing noise when just one of the windows is open. Lower the
opposite window slightly to reduce this noise.
Easy Fuel® System
With this system, put your vehicle in park (P) and switch off the ignition. Open the
fuel door, insert the nozzle and begin fueling. Wait about five to ten seconds after
pumping fuel before removing the fuel filler nozzle. This allows residual fuel to
drain back into the fuel tank and not spill onto the vehicle.
Running Out of Fuel
When using a portable fuel container, slowly insert the fuel funnel (located in the
left-hand side, rear storage compartment), and pour the fuel into the funnel. When
done, clean the funnel or properly dispose of it. You can purchase extra funnels
from your authorized dealer. Do not use aftermarket funnels as they do not work
with the Easy Fuel® system and may cause damage.
Note: Avoid running out of fuel because this situation may have an adverse
effect on powertrain components.
Fuel Tank Capacity/Fuel Info
All-wheel drive vehicles have a 18.5 gallon (70.0L) fuel tank capacity and
front-wheel drive vehicles have an 18.4 gallon (69.5L) fuel tank capacity. Use only
UNLEADED fuel or UNLEADED fuel blended with a maximum of 15% ethanol and\

a minimum octane rating of 87. Do not use diesel, fuel-methanol, leaded fuel or
any other fuel because it could damage or impair the emission control sy\
stem.
Towing Your MKX
Towing your vehicle behind an RV or any other vehicle may be limited. Refer
to Towing the Vehicle on Four Wheels section in the Towing chapter of your
Owner’s Manual.
Auto Hold
Auto Hold can assist you while stopping at traffic lights or while in traffic jams by
holding the brakes when you bring your vehicle to a stop. Press the Auto Hold
button to switch the system on. The Auto Hold button lights. When the system
is on and actively holding the vehicle, AUTO HOLD displays in the
instrument cluster.
When you press the accelerator pedal, Auto Hold automatically releases the
brakes. In certain situations, Auto Hold may apply the electric parking brake and
illuminate the brake warning lamp in the instrument cluster.
Auto Hold turns off when you power your vehicle down, or you can switch the

are towing a trailer or having the vehicle towed.
