Using Snow Chains; Tire Pressure Monitoring System - Lincoln 2014 MKZ Owner's Manual

USING SNOW CHAINS

WARNINGS
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.
Do not use snow chains or cables
on this vehicle as they may cause
damage to your vehicle which may lead
to loss of vehicle control.
Snow chains have not been approved for
use on your vehicle.
The original equipment tires on your
vehicle may have an all-weather tread
design to provide traction, handling, and
braking performance in year-round driving.
You may install snow tires for improved
traction when driving in areas with
sustained periods of snow or icy driving
conditions.

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
