ESSENTIAL INFORMATION
FUEL TANK CAPACITY –
Your vehicle’s fuel tank can accommodate 28 gallons (106L) of
gasoline. (Navigator L accommodates 33.5 gallons (126.8 L) of gasoline.) Your vehicle is
designed to use "Regular" unleaded gasoline with pump (R+M)/2 octane rating of 87. The use
of gasoline with lower octane ratings may degrade performance.
TIRE PRESSURE –
Your tire pressure is properly set at the dealership according to the
recommended specifications found on the Safety Compliance Certification Label or Tire Label
located on the driver’s door latch pillar or the edge of the driver’s door. The tire pressure should
be checked at least once a month or before long trips using an accurate tire gauge. Please see
“Additional Features” on reverse side for information on the TPMS.
Warning:
Improperly inflated
tires can affect vehicle handling and tire performance.
FUSES –
If electrical components in the vehicle are not working, a fuse may have blown.
For more information about changing a fuse, please consult your Owner’s Guide.
FUEL PUMP SHUT-OFF SWITCH –
After a collision, if the engine cranks but does not start,
the fuel pump shut-off switch may have to be reset. The switch is located in the left rear quarter
trim panel, near the liftgate, behind an access panel. For complete details on resetting the
switch, please consult your Owner’s Guide.
CHANGING THE TIRES –
If you get a flat tire while driving, do not apply the brake heavily.
Instead, gradually decrease your speed. Hold the steering wheel firmly and slowly move to a safe
place on the side of the road. Prior to jacking, hoisting or towing your vehicle, be sure to turn
OFF the running boards (if equipped), and the optional rear load leveling suspension. Your vehicle
may be equipped with a conventional spare tire that is different in one or more of the following:
type, brand, size, speed rating and tread design. Your vehicle may be equipped with a spare wheel
that may not match the road wheels and is not equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitor System
(TPMS) sensor.
LOCATION OF THE SPARE TIRE AND TOOLS –
The spare tire is located under the vehicle,
just forward of the rear bumper. The Jack Tools and Jacking Instructions reside under the access
panel, located in the floor compartment behind the rear seat.
ROADSIDE EMERGENCIES –
To fully assist if you should have a vehicle concern, Lincoln
offers a complimentary roadside assistance program. This program is separate from the New
Vehicle Limited Warranty. The service is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week for the New
Vehicle Limited Warranty period (U.S.) or Basic Warranty period (Canada). Roadside assistance
will cover changing a flat tire, jump-starts, limited fuel delivery, lockout assistance, winch out
and towing of your vehicle.

requires the driver to use it in conjunction with the rear view and side view
mirrors for maximum coverage. For complete details on the reverse camera
system, please consult your Owner’s Guide.

This system monitors tire pressure on all road tires and
provides the driver with a yellow warning light when one or more of your tires is significantly under-

driven above 20 mph (32 km / h) for at least 2 minutes.
