2017 LINCOLN MKT tow

If you have a dissimilar spare wheel and tire,
then it is intended for temporary use only.
This means that if you need to use it, you
should replace it as soon as possible with a
road wheel and tire assembly that is the
same size and type as the road tires and
wheels that were originally provided by Ford.
If the dissimilar spare tire or wheel is
damaged, it should be replaced rather than
repaired.
A dissimilar spare wheel and tire assembly
is defined as a spare wheel and tire assembly
that is different in brand, size or appearance
from the road tires and wheels and can be
one of three types:
1. T-type mini-spare: This spare tire begins
with the letter T for tire size and may have
Temporary Use Only molded in the sidewall.
2.
Full-size dissimilar spare with label on
wheel: This spare tire has a label on the
wheel that states: THIS WHEEL AND TIRE

• Tow a trailer.
• Use snow chains on the end of the
vehicle with the dissimilar spare tire.
• Use more than one dissimilar spare tire
at a time.
• Use commercial car washing equipment.
• Try to repair the dissimilar spare tire.

• Handling, stability and braking
performance.
• Comfort and noise.
• Ground clearance and parking at curbs.
• Winter weather driving capability.

rack.

Tire Change Procedure WARNINGS
When one of the front wheels is off the
ground, the transmission alone will not
prevent the vehicle from moving or slipping
off the jack, even if the transmission is in park
(P). WARNINGS
To help prevent your vehicle from
moving when changing a wheel, shift
the transmission into park (P), set the parking
brake and use an appropriate block or wheel
chock to secure the wheel diagonally
opposite to the wheel being changed. For
example, when changing the front left wheel,
place an appropriate block or wheel chock
on the right rear wheel. No person should place any portion of
their body under a vehicle that is
supported by a jack. Do not attempt to change a tire on the
side of the vehicle close to moving
traffic. Pull far enough off the road to avoid
the danger of being hit when operating the
jack or changing the wheel. Always use the jack provided as
original equipment with your vehicle.
If using a jack other than the one provided,
make sure the jack capacity is adequate for
the vehicle weight, including any vehicle
cargo or modifications. If you are unsure if
the jack capacity is adequate, contact the
authorized dealer. Note:
Passengers should not remain in your
vehicle when the vehicle is being jacked.
Note: Jack at the specified locations to avoid
damage to the vehicle.
Note: If your vehicle came equipped with an
extra full size wheel and tire assembly
(placed in the cargo area), be sure to store
the wheel and tire assembly outside of the
vehicle after delivery (livery vehicles only).
Non-Limousine
Note: If the third row seat is stowed in the
floor, you will need to unstow it to access
the spare tire.
1. Park on a level surface, set the parking brake and activate the hazard flashers.
2. Place the transmission in park (P) and turn the engine off.

12. Lower the wheel by turning the jack
handle counterclockwise. 13. Remove the jack and fully tighten the
lug nuts in the order shown. See
Technical Specifications (page 349).
14. Install the wheel cover. Stowing the flat tire
If you are stowing the flat tire, remove the
L-shaped bolt from the external pocket of
the felt bag. With the third row seat in the
raised position, stand the flat tire in the rear
of the vehicle with the tire
’s valve stem facing
the rear of the vehicle. Fasten the flat tire to
the vehicle by inserting the L-shaped bolt
through one of the lug bolt holes in the
wheel. Turn it clockwise into the threaded
hole in the vehicle until the tire is secured.
If you are stowing the temporary spare tire,
place the tire over the jack and secure it with
the large wing nut. Stowing the jack
1. Fully collapse the jack, fold the lug
wrench socket into the handle and place
the jack and wrench into the felt bag as
shown. Place the extension bolt or
L-shaped bolt into the external pocket of
the felt bag. Position the jack as shown
to make sure that the locating holes in
the jack base can be placed on the
locating tabs of the jack mounting
bracket in the spare tire tub.
2. Securely close the wrench compartment
and the jack bag using the Velcro ™ straps.
3. Place the jack kit on the angled bracket in the spare tire tub, using the locating
tabs to position the jack correctly.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Radio Frequencies and Reception
Factors
AM and FM frequencies are established by
the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) and the Canadian Radio and
Telecommunications Commission (CRTC).
Those frequencies are:
•
AM: 530, 540-1700, 1710 kHz
• FM: 87.9-107.7, 107.9 MHz Radio Reception Factors
The further you travel from an AM or FM station, the weaker the signal and the weaker the reception.
Distance and strength
Hills, mountains, tall buildings, bridges, tunnels, freeway overpasses, \
parking garages, dense tree foliage and
thunderstorms can interfere with the reception.
Terrain
When you pass a ground-based broadcast repeating tower, a stronger signal may overtake a weaker one and
result in the audio system muting.
Station overload
CD and CD Player Information
Note: CD units play commercially pressed
4.7 in (12 cm) audio compact discs only. Due
to technical incompatibility, certain
recordable and re-recordable compact discs
may not function correctly when used in Ford
CD players. Note:
Do not insert CDs with homemade
paper (adhesive) labels into the CD player
as the label may peel and cause the CD to
become jammed. You should use a
permanent felt tip marker rather than
adhesive labels on your homemade CDs.
Ballpoint pens may damage CDs. Please
contact an authorized dealer for further
information. Note:
Do not use any irregularly shaped
discs or discs with a scratch protection film
attached.
Always handle discs by their edges only.
Clean the disc with an approved CD cleaner
only. Wipe it from the center of the disc
toward the edge. Do not clean in a circular
motion.
