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
approximately 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
When refueling your vehicle:
1. Put your vehicle in park (P) and
switch the ignition off.
2. Open the fuel filler door and slowly
insert the fuel filler nozzle fully into
the fuel system.
3. Leave the nozzle fully inserted until you stop pumping fuel. Allow 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.
4. Slowly remove the fuel filler nozzle and close the fuel filler door.
Note: When filling your vehicle’s fuel tank from a portable fuel container\
, use
the funnel included with the vehicle. 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, or dispose of it properly.
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 equipped with \
the 2.0L
EcoBoost engine and 17.5 gallons (66.2 liters) for all-wheel drive mod\
els and
those equipped with the 3.7L V6 engine. Use only UNLEADED gasoline blend\
ed
with a maximum of 15% ethanol and a minimum of 87 octane rating. Do not use
E85 (ethanol), diesel, fuel-methanol, leaded fuel or any other fuel be\
cause 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.
Towing
Towing your vehicle behind an RV or any other vehicle may be limited. Re\
fer to
the Towing the Vehicle on Four Wheels section in the Towing chapter of your
Owner's Manual for more information.
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.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Your vehicle displays a low tire pressure warning
light
in your 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 tires 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.
Temporary Mobility Kit*
The kit is located under the load floor of the luggage
compartment. 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 luggage compartment
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.

Essential Information (continued)
All-Wheel Drive
All-wheel drive uses all four wheels to power the
vehicle. This increases traction, enabling you to drive
over terrain and road conditions that a conventional
two-wheel drive vehicle cannot. The AWD system is
active all the time and requires no input from
the driver.
Tips for Driving on Various Surfaces
Sand: When driving over sand, try to keep all four
wheels on the most solid area of the trail. Avoid
reducing the tire pressures but shift to a lower gear
and drive steadily through the terrain. Apply the
accelerator slowly and avoid spinning the wheels.
Mud and Water: If you must drive through high
water, drive slowly. Traction or brake capability may
be limited.
Be cautious of sudden changes in vehicle speed or
direction when you are driving in mud. Even AWD
vehicles can lose traction in slick mud. As when you
are driving over sand, apply the accelerator slowly
and avoid spinning your wheels. If the vehicle does
slide, steer in the direction of the slide until you
regain control of the vehicle.After driving through mud, clean off residue stuck to
rotating driveshafts and tires. Excess mud stuck on
tires and rotating driveshafts causes an imbalance
that could damage drive components.
Snow and Ice: AWD vehicles have advantages over
2WD vehicles in snow and ice but can skid like any
other vehicle. Should you start to slide while driving
on snowy or icy roads, turn the steering wheel in the
direction of the slide until you regain control. Avoid
sudden applications of power and quick changes
of direction on snow and ice. Apply the accelerator
slowly and steadily when starting from a full stop.
Note: Your AWD vehicle is not for off-road
use. The AWD feature gives your vehicle some
limited off-road capabilities. See the All-Wheel
Drive chapter in your Owner's Manual for
complete details.
Hill Start Assist
This system makes it easier to pull away when
your vehicle is on a slope without the need to use
a parking brake. When the system is active, your
vehicle remains stationary on the slope for two to
three seconds after you release the brake pedal.
Once the engine develops sufficient drive or torque,
the brakes release automatically.
Note: The driver is always responsible for controlling
the vehicle, supervising the system and intervening
if required. Refer to your Owner’s Manual for safety
information, more details and limitations.
