Lincoln 2016 MKX Owner's Manual page 347

Crossover vehicles have a significantly
higher rollover rate than other types of
vehicles. To reduce this risk of serious
injury or death from a rollover or other
crash you must:
• Avoid sharp turns and abrupt
maneuvers.
• Drive at safe speeds for the
conditions.
• Keep tires properly inflated.
• Never overload or improperly load
your vehicle.
• Make sure every passenger is
properly restrained.
WARNING
In a rollover crash, an unbelted
person is significantly more likely
to die than a person wearing a seat belt.
All occupants must wear seat belts.
Children and infants must use
appropriate restraints to minimize the
risk of injury or ejection.

quality grades: The U.S. Department of
Transportation requires Ford Motor
Company to give you the following
information about tire grades exactly as
the government has written it.
Treadwear
The treadwear grade is a comparative
rating based on the wear rate of the tire
when tested under controlled conditions
on a specified government test course.
For example, a tire graded 150 would
wear 1 ½ times as well on the
government course as a tire graded 100.
