impaired: 1-800-232-5952)

Fuel Type and Tank Capacity

Your front-wheel drive fuel
tank can accommodate

19.3 gallons (73.1 L) of
gasoline; all-wheel drive
can accommodate 20.8
gallons (78.7 L). Your vehicle
is designed to use unleaded
gasoline with an (R+M)/2
octane rating of 87. Using
gasoline with a lower
octane rating may degrade
performance.

Location of Spare Tire
and Tools

The spare tire and jack are
located in the cargo area
below the carpeted oor
panel. The lug nut wrench
is contained in the tool bag.
For complete details on how
to change your tire, refer to
the Roadside Emergencies
chapter in your Owner’s Guide.

Fuses

If the vehicle’s electrical
components are not
operating, a fuse may have
blown. The fuse panel is
located below the instrument
panel on the driver’s side;
remove the cover to view
the fuses. Additional fuses
are located in the power
distribution box in the
engine compartment. For
more information regarding
changing fuses, refer to the
Roadside Emergencies chapter
of your Owner’s Guide.

Tire Pressure
Monitoring System

Using radio-frequency
pressure sensors, this system
monitors tire pressure on all
road tires and provides the
driver with a yellow warning
light when air needs to be
added. The Message center

provides additional warning
messages. The TPMS warning
light will reset itself (turn
o) after the tires are set to
specication and the vehicle is
driven above 20 mph (32 km /
h) for at least 2 minutes. Note:
Outside temperature aects
tire pressure. Please refer to
your Owner’s Guide.

Tire Pressure

Your vehicle’s tire pressure
specications are found
on the vehicle’s Safety
Compliance Certication
Label located on the driver’s
door jamb. Check your
tires for proper air pressure
monthly; check the air
pressure in your spare tire
every six months. Always
use an accurate tire pressure
gauge. Check the tire
pressure when tires are cold,
after the vehicle has been
parked for at least three hours
or has been driven less than
three miles. (As you drive,
the temperature in the tire
warms up, increasing the
tire pressure.) Improperly
inated tires can aect
vehicle handling and can
fail suddenly, resulting in
a possible loss of vehicle
control. Refer to the Tires,
Wheels and Loading chapter
in the Owner’s Guide for
further information.

Fuel Pump Shut-O Switch

The fuel pump shut-o switch
stops the electric fuel pump
from sending fuel to your
engine when your vehicle has
sustained a substantial jolt.
The switch is located behind
the panel on the left side
of the cargo area. For more
information regarding the fuel
pump shut-o switch, refer

to the Roadside Emergencies
chapter of your Owner’s
Guide.

Rear Window Bueting

When one or both of the
rear windows are open, the
vehicle may demonstrate a
wind throb or bueting noise;
this noise is common among
a wide range of vehicles and
can be eliminated by simply
lowering a front window
approximately two to three
inches.

Roadside Assistance

During your Lincoln MKX’s
limited warranty period, the
assurance and support of a
24-hour emergency roadside
assistance program is
included. Roadside assistance
includes such services as fuel
delivery, tire changes, jump
starts, winch outs, help when
you are locked out of your
vehicle, and towing.

Complete your roadside
assistance identication
card and keep it handy (such
as in your wallet) for quick
reference. This identication
card is located in your Owner’s
Information portfolio. To
receive roadside assistance in
the United States, call (800)
521-4140. In Canada, call
[phone].
