Lincoln MKZ Hybrid (2019 year). Manual - part 22

WARNING: Always inflate steel

carcass tires with a remote air fill with
the person inflating standing at a
minimum of 12 ft (3.66 m) away from the
wheel and tire assembly.

WARNING: When inflating the tire

for mounting pressures up to 20 psi
(1.38 bar) greater than the maximum
pressure on the tire sidewall, the
following precautions must be taken to
protect the person mounting the tire:

•

Make sure that you have the correct
tire and wheel size.

•

Lubricate the tire bead and wheel
bead seat area again.

•

Stand at a minimum of 12 ft (3.66 m)
away from the wheel and tire
assembly.

•

Use both eye and ear protection.

Important: Remember to replace the
wheel valve stems when the road tires
are replaced on your vehicle

It is recommended that the two front
tires or two rear tires generally be
replaced as a pair.

The tire pressure sensors mounted in
the wheels, originally installed on your
vehicle, are not designed to be used in
aftermarket wheels.

The use of wheels or tires not
recommended by Lincoln Motor
Company may affect the operation of
your tire pressure monitoring system.

If the TPMS indicator is flashing, your
TPMS is malfunctioning. Your
replacement tire might be incompatible
with your TPMS, or some component of
the TPMS may be damaged.

Safety Practices

WARNING: If your vehicle is stuck

in snow, mud or sand, do not rapidly spin
the tires; spinning the tires can tear the
tire and cause an explosion. A tire can
explode in as little as three to five
seconds.

WARNING: Do not spin the wheels

at over 34 mph (55 km/h). The tires may
fail and injure a passenger or bystander.

Driving habits have a great deal to do
with your tire mileage and safety.
•

Observe posted speed limits.

•

Avoid fast starts, stops and turns.

•

Avoid potholes and objects on the
road.

•

Do not run over curbs or hit the tire
against a curb when parking.

Highway Hazards

No matter how carefully you drive
there’s always the possibility that you
may eventually have a flat tire on the
highway. Drive slowly to the closest safe
area out of traffic. This may further
damage the flat tire, but your safety is
more important.

Wheels and Tires

If you feel a sudden vibration or ride
disturbance while driving, or you suspect
your tire or vehicle has been damaged,
immediately reduce your speed. Drive
with caution until you can safely pull off
the road. Stop and inspect the tires for
damage. If you cannot detect a cause,
have the vehicle towed to the nearest
repair facility or tire dealer to have the
vehicle inspected.

Tire and Wheel Alignment

A bad jolt from hitting a curb or pothole
can cause the front end of your vehicle
to become misaligned or cause damage
to your tires. If your vehicle seems to
pull to one side when you’re driving, the
wheels may be out of alignment. Have
an authorized dealer check the wheel
alignment periodically.

Wheel misalignment in the front or the
rear can cause uneven and rapid
treadwear of your tires and should be
corrected by an authorized dealer.
Front-wheel drive vehicles and those
with an optional independent rear
suspension may require alignment of all
four wheels.

You should balance the tires
periodically. An unbalanced tire and
wheel assembly may result in irregular
tire wear.

Tire Rotation

Note: If your tires show uneven wear
ask an authorized dealer to check for
and correct any wheel misalignment,
tire imbalance or mechanical problem
involved before tire rotation.

Note: Your vehicle may be equipped
with a dissimilar spare wheel and tire
assembly. 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. If you have a
dissimilar spare wheel and tire assembly
it is intended for temporary use only and
should not be used in a tire rotation.

Note: After having your tires rotated,
inflation pressure must be checked and
adjusted to the vehicle requirements.

Rotating your tires at the recommended
interval will help your tires wear more
evenly, providing better tire performance
and longer tire life. See your Scheduled
Maintenance information.

Sometimes irregular tire wear can be
corrected by rotating the tires.

USING SUMMER TIRES

Summer tires provide superior performance
on wet and dry roads. Summer tires do not
have the Mud and Snow (M+S or M/S) tire
traction rating on the tire side wall. Since
summer tires do not have the same traction
performance as All-season or Snow tires, we
do not recommend using summer tires when
temperatures drop to approximately 45°F
(7°C) or below (depending on tire wear and
environmental conditions) or in snow and ice
conditions. Like any tire, summer tire
performance is affected by tire wear and
environmental conditions. If you must drive
in those conditions, we recommend using
Mud and Snow (M+S, M/S), All-season or
Snow tires.

Always store your summer tires indoors at
temperatures above 19°F (-7°C). The rubber
compounds used in these tires lose flexibility
and may develop surface cracks in the tread
area at temperatures below 19°F (-7°C). If the
tires have been subjected to 19°F (-7°C) or
less, warm them in a heated space to at least
41°F (5°C) for at least 24 hours before
installing them on a vehicle, or moving the

vehicle with the tires installed, or checking
tire inflation. Do not place tires near heaters
or heating devices used to warm the room
where the tires are stored. Do not apply heat
or blow heated air directly on the tires.
Always inspect the tires after storage periods
and before use.

USING SNOW CHAINS

WARNING: If you choose to install

snow tires on your vehicle, they must be the
same size, construction, and load range as
the original tires listed on the tire placard,
and they must be installed on all four wheels.
Mixing tires of different size or construction
on your vehicle can adversely affect your
vehicle's handling and braking, and may lead
to loss of vehicle control.

Wheels and Tires

WARNING: The use of

non-recommended tires and wheels could
cause steering, suspension, axle, transfer
case or power transfer unit failure. If you
have questions regarding tire replacement,
contact your authorized dealer as soon as
possible.

The tires on your vehicle may have
all-weather treads to provide traction in rain
and snow. However, in some climates you
may need to use snow chains.

Your vehicle may not be compatible with
snow chain or cable usage with the
factory-fitted wheels and tires. Only certain
chains or snow cables have been approved
by Lincoln as safe for use on your vehicle
with the following tire size: 225/55R17. You
should only install chains or cables sized at
10 mm or less in dimension as measured on
the sidewall of your tire. Not all S-class snow
chains meet these restrictions. Chains of this
size restriction will include a tensioning

device. The chains should be mounted in
pairs on the front tires only. If you need to
use chains, it is recommended that steel
wheels (of the same size and specification)
be used, as chains may chip aluminum
wheels.

Follow these guidelines when using traction
devices:

•

If possible, avoid fully loading your
vehicle

•

Purchase chains or cables from a
manufacturer that clearly labels body to
tire dimension restrictions.

•

When driving with snow chains or cables,
do not exceed 30 mph (48 km/h) or the
maximum speed recommended by the
chain manufacturer; whichever is less.

•

Drive cautiously. If you hear the chains
or cables rub or bang against the vehicle,
stop and retighten them. If this does not
work, remove the chains or cables and
prevent vehicle damage.

•

Remove the chains or cables when they
are no longer needed. Do not use the
chains or cables on dry roads.

•

If a temporary spare tire is mounted on
your vehicle, do not use snow chains on
the axle with the temporary spare tire.

If you have any questions regarding snow
tires or snow chains, please contact your
authorized dealer.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM

WARNING: The tire pressure

monitoring system is not a substitute for
manually checking tire pressures. You should
periodically check tire pressures using a
pressure gauge. Failure to correctly maintain
tire pressures could increase the risk of tire
failure, loss of control, vehicle rollover and
personal injury.

346

MKZ Hybrid (CC9) Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV), Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 201805, First-Printing

Wheels and Tires

Note:  You should only use tire sealants in
roadside emergencies as they may cause
damage to the tire pressure monitoring
system sensor. 

Note:  If the tire pressure monitoring system
sensor becomes damaged, it may not
function.

Each tire, including the spare (if
provided), should be checked
monthly when cold and inflated to

the inflation pressure recommended by the
vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard
or tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle
has tires of a different size than the size
indicated on the vehicle placard or tire
inflation pressure label, you should
determine the proper tire inflation pressure
for those tires).

As an added safety feature, your vehicle has
been equipped with a Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) that illuminates a
low tire pressure telltale when one or more
of your tires is significantly under-inflated.
Accordingly, when the low tire pressure
telltale illuminates, you should stop and
check your tires as soon as possible, and

inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving
on a significantly under-inflated tire causes
the tire to overheat and can lead to tire
failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel
efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect
the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.

Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute
for proper tire maintenance, and it is the
driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire
pressure, even if under-inflation has not
reached the level to trigger illumination of
the TPMS low tire pressure telltale.

Your vehicle has also been equipped with a
TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when
the system is not operating properly. The
TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with
the low tire pressure telltale. When the
system detects a malfunction, the telltale will
flash for approximately one minute and then
remain continuously illuminated. This
sequence will continue upon subsequent
vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction
exists.

When the malfunction indicator is illuminated,
the system may not be able to detect or
signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS
malfunctions may occur for a variety of
reasons, including the installation of
replacement or alternate tires or wheels on
the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from
functioning properly. Always check the TPMS
malfunction telltale after replacing one or
more tires or wheels on your vehicle to
ensure that the replacement or alternate tires
and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to
function properly.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC
Rules and with License exempt RSS
Standards of Industry Canada. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions:

1. This device may not cause harmful

interference, and

2. This device must accept any interference

received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.

Changing Tires With a Tire Pressure
Monitoring System

E142549

Note: Each road tire is equipped with a tire
pressure sensor located inside the wheel
and tire assembly cavity. The pressure
sensor is attached to the valve stem. The
pressure sensor is covered by the tire and
is not visible unless the tire is removed. Take
care when changing the tire to avoid
damaging the sensor.

You should always have your tires serviced
by an authorized dealer.

Check the tire pressure periodically (at least
monthly) using an accurate tire gauge. See
When Inflating Your Tires in this chapter.

Understanding Your Tire Pressure
Monitoring System

E250820

The tire pressure monitoring system
measures pressure in your road tires and
sends the tire pressure readings to your
vehicle. You can view the tire pressure
readings through the information display.
See General Information (page 110). The low
tire pressure warning light will turn on if the
tire pressure is significantly low. Once the

348

MKZ Hybrid (CC9) Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV), Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 201805, First-Printing

Wheels and Tires

light is illuminated, your tires are
under-inflated and need to be inflated to the
manufacturer’s recommended tire pressure.
Even if the light turns on and a short time
later turns off, your tire pressure still needs
to be checked.

When Your Temporary Spare Tire is
Installed

When one of your road tires needs to be
replaced with the temporary spare, the
system will continue to identify an issue to
remind you that the damaged road wheel
and tire assembly needs to be repaired and
put back on your vehicle.

To restore the full function of the tire
pressure monitoring system, have the
damaged road wheel and tire assembly
repaired and remounted on your vehicle.

When You Believe Your System is Not
Operating Properly

The main function of the tire pressure
monitoring system is to warn you when your
tires need air. It can also warn you in the
event the system is no longer capable of
functioning as intended. See the following
chart for information concerning your tire
pressure monitoring system:

When Inflating Your Tires

WARNING: Do not use the tire

pressure displayed in the information display
as a tire pressure gauge. Failure to follow
this instruction could result in personal injury
or death.

When putting air into your tires (such as at a
gas station or in your garage), the tire
pressure monitoring system may not respond
immediately to the air added to your tires.

It may take up to two minutes of driving over
20 mph (32 km/h) for the light to turn off after
you have filled your tires to the
recommended inflation pressure.

How Temperature Affects Your Tire
Pressure

The tire pressure monitoring system monitors
tire pressure in each pneumatic tire. While
driving in a normal manner, a typical
passenger tire inflation pressure may
increase about 2–4 psi (14–28 kPa) from a
cold start situation. If the vehicle is stationary
overnight with the outside temperature
significantly lower than the daytime
temperature, the tire pressure may decrease
about 3 psi (21 kPa) for a drop of 30°F (17°C)
in ambient temperature. This lower pressure
value may be detected by the tire pressure
monitoring system as being significantly
lower than the recommended inflation

pressure and activate the system warning
light for low tire pressure. If the low tire
pressure warning light is on, visually check
each tire to verify that no tire is flat. If one or
more tires are flat, repair as necessary.
Check the air pressure in the road tires. If
any tire is under-inflated, carefully drive the
vehicle to the nearest location where air can
be added to the tires. Inflate all the tires to
the recommended inflation pressure.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

Wheel Lug Nut Torque Specifications

WARNING: When you install a wheel, always remove any corrosion, dirt or foreign materials present on the mounting surfaces of the

wheel or the surface of the wheel hub, brake drum or brake disc that contacts the wheel. Make sure to secure any fasteners that attach the
rotor to the hub so they do not interfere with the mounting surfaces of the wheel. Installing wheels without correct metal-to-metal contact at
the wheel mounting surfaces can cause the wheel nuts to loosen and the wheel to come off while your vehicle is in motion, resulting in loss
of vehicle control, personal injury or death.
