2020 LINCOLN CONTINENTAL spare wheel

WARNING: 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: The jack does not require
maintenance or additional lubrication over
the service life of your vehicle.
Note: Passengers should not remain in your
vehicle when the vehicle is being jacked.
1. Park on a level firm surface, shift the transmission into park (P), set the parking
brake and switch the ignition off. Activate
the hazard flashers and set up the
warning triangle. 2.
Block both the front and rear of the wheel
diagonally opposite the flat tire. For
example, if the left front tire is flat, block
the right rear wheel.
3. Lift the carpeted load floor panel and slide it forward.
Note: The wheel trim tool in the following
illustration is optional. 4.
Remove the wing nut securing the spare
tire by turning it counterclockwise.
5. Remove the spare tire from the spare tire
compartment. 6. Remove plastic wing nut and jack and
lug wrench assembly. Remove the strap
from the jack. Turn the jack hex nut drive
screw counterclockwise and detach lug
wrench from the jack.

7. If your vehicle has a wheel trim that
covers the lug nuts, use the tool stored
on the spare tire wing nut to remove the
wheel trim for access to the lug nuts.
Feed the wire end of the tool through the
small hole on the wheel trim to hook
behind it and pull to remove the wheel
trim. 8.
Loosen each wheel lug nut one-half turn
counterclockwise, but do not remove
them until the wheel is raised off the
ground. 9. The vehicle jacking points are shown
above, and are depicted on the yellow
warning label on the jack. WARNING: 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.

10. Position the jack so that the vehicle
downward flange rests in the jack
saddle. Use the lug wrench and turn
the jack nut clockwise. When the flat
tire is off the ground, remove the lug
nuts with the lug wrench. 11.
Replace the flat tire with the spare tire,
making sure the valve stem is facing
outward. Reinstall the lug nuts until the
wheel is snug against the hub. Do not
fully tighten the lug nuts until the wheel
has been lowered.
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 379). 14.
Fold up the wrench and re-attach to the
jack. Re-position the jack and wrench
assembly into the original vehicle
position and secure with the plastic
wing nut. Securely fasten the jack
before you drive.
15. Unblock the wheel and pick up the warning triangle.
Stowing the flat tire
You cannot store the full-sized road wheel
in the temporary spare tire well.
1. Find the flat tire retainer strap tucked inside the jack channel. Slide the
carpeted load floor into position.
2. Stow the flat tire in the cargo area on the
load floor with the wheel facing up.
Secure the flat tire with the retainer strap
by following the next steps.
