Introduction Ford Motor Company and your selling dealer thank you for selecting one of our quality Lincoln products. Our commitment to you and your vehicle begins with quality protection and service. When you need warranty repairs, your selling dealer would like you to return to it for that service, but you may also take your vehicle to another Lincoln or Ford dealership authorized to service Lincoln vehicles. Certain warranty repairs require special training though, so not all dealers are authorized to perform all warranty repairs. That means that, depending on the warranty repair needed, the vehicle may need to be taken to another dealer. If a particular dealership cannot assist you, then contact Lincoln Concierge at 1-800-521-4140. This booklet explains in detail the warranty coverages that apply to your 2017-model Lincoln vehicle. If you bought a previously owned 2017-model vehicle, you are eligible for any remaining warranty coverages. Ford Motor Company provides the Emissions Defect Warranties and Emissions Performance Warranties which cover your emissions control systems (pages 16-28). 2. Important information you should know IF YOU NEED CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE Your authorized dealer is available to assist you with all your automotive needs. Please follow the procedures outlined on the front page of this booklet. In addition, if you are an eligible U.S. owner, you may use - at no cost the services of the BBB AUTO LINE program. For details, see Better Business Bureau (BBB) AUTO LINE program, page 30 or call 1-800-955-5100. 1 KNOW WHEN YOUR WARRANTY BEGINS Your Warranty Start Date is the day you take delivery of your new vehicle or the day it is first put into service (for example, as a dealer demonstrator), whichever occurs first. CHECK YOUR VEHICLE We try to check vehicles carefully at the assembly plant and the dealership, and we usually correct any damage to paint, sheet metal, upholstery, or other appearance items. But occasionally something may slip past us, and a customer may find that a vehicle was damaged before he or she took delivery. If you see any damage when you receive your vehicle, notify your dealership within one week. MAINTAIN YOUR VEHICLE PROPERLY Your glove compartment contains an Owner’s Manual which indicates the scheduled maintenance required for your vehicle. Proper maintenance guards against major repair expenses resulting from neglect or inadequate maintenance, may help increase the value you receive when you sell or trade your vehicle, and is important in allowing your vehicle to comply with applicable emissions standards. It is your responsibility to make sure that all of the scheduled maintenance is performed and that the materials used meet Ford engineering specifications. Failure to perform scheduled maintenance as specified in the Owner’s Manual will invalidate warranty coverage on parts affected by the lack of maintenance. Make sure that receipts for completed maintenance work are retained with the vehicle and confirmation of maintenance work is always entered in your Owner’s Manual. Your authorized dealer has factory-trained technicians who can perform the required maintenance using genuine Ford parts. The dealership looks forward to meeting your every service need to maximize your satisfaction with your vehicle. 2 WHO PAYS FOR WARRANTY REPAIRS? You will not be charged for repairs covered by any applicable warranty during the stated coverage periods, unless specifically stated elsewhere in this guide. Some states have mandated alternate time coverage periods for parts of your vehicle (e.g. seatbelts). Some states and/or local governments may require a tax on a portion of warranty repairs. Where applicable law allows, the tax must be paid by you, the owner of the vehicle. During the Bumper to Bumper Warranty period, dealers may receive instructions to provide no-cost, service-type improvements — not originally included in your Owner’s Manual — intended to increase your overall satisfaction with your vehicle. Sometimes Ford may offer a special adjustment program to pay all or part of the cost of certain repairs beyond the terms of the applicable warranty. Check with your dealer or call 1-800-521-4140 to learn whether any adjustment program is applicable to your vehicle. Please have your vehicle identification number available. DO WARRANTIES APPLY IN OTHER COUNTRIES? The New Vehicle Limited Warranty and the Emissions Warranties described in this booklet apply to your vehicle if: • it was originally purchased through the Ford Export Operations Military Sales Program; or • it was originally sold or leased by Ford Motor Company or one of its dealers in the United States or U.S Federalized Territories; and it was originally registered/licensed and operated in the United States, U.S. Federalized Territories, or Canada. If you meet either of these two requirements, you do have warranty coverage when you travel with this vehicle outside the United States, U.S. Federalized Territories, or Canada. In some cases, however, you may have to pay the servicing Lincoln or Ford dealer in a foreign country or U.S. Federalized Territory for a repair that is covered under the U.S. warranty. If this happens, be sure to save the paid repair order or invoice. You should present this document to a U.S. Lincoln or Ford dealer for warranty refund consideration. Refer to www.Ford.com for additional global customer assistance reference information. 3 3. The New Vehicle Limited Warranty for your 2017-model vehicle LIMITATIONS AND DISCLAIMERS All of the warranties in this booklet are subject to the following limitations and disclaimers: The warranties in this booklet are the only express warranties applicable to your vehicle. Ford does not assume or authorize anyone to assume for it any other obligation or liability in connection with your vehicle or these warranties. No person, including Ford employees or dealers, may modify or waive any part of these warranties. Ford and its dealers reserve the right to make changes in or additions to vehicles built or sold by them at any time without incurring any obligation to make the same or similar changes or additions to vehicles previously built or sold. Ford and its dealers also reserve the right to provide post-warranty repairs, conduct recalls, or extend the warranty coverage period for certain vehicles or vehicle populations, at the sole discretion of Ford. The fact that Ford has provided such measures to a particular vehicle or vehicle population in no way obligates Ford to provide similar accommodations to other owners of similar vehicles. As a condition of these warranties, you are responsible for properly using, maintaining, and caring for your vehicle as outlined in your Owner’s Manual. Ford recommends that you maintain copies of all maintenance records and receipts for review by Ford. Ford and your dealer are not responsible for any time or income that you lose, any inconvenience you might be caused, the loss of your transportation or use of your vehicle, the cost of rental vehicles, fuel, telephone, travel, meals, or lodging, the loss of personal or commercial property, the loss of revenue, or for any other incidental or consequential damages you may have. 4 Punitive, exemplary, or multiple damages may not be recovered unless applicable law prohibits their disclaimer. You may not bring any warranty-related claim as a class representative, a private attorney general, a member of a class of claimants or in any other representative capacity. Ford shall not be liable for any damages caused by delay in delivery or furnishing of any products and/or services. You may have some implied warranties. For example, you may have an implied warranty of merchantability (that the car or light truck is reasonably fit for the general purpose for which it was sold) or an implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose (that the car or light truck is suitable for your special purposes), if a special purpose was specifically disclosed to Ford itself not merely to the dealer before your purchase, and Ford itself not just the dealer told you the vehicle would be suitable for that purpose. These implied warranties are limited, to the extent allowed by law, to the time period covered by the written warranties, or to the applicable time period provided by state law, whichever period is shorter. These implied warranties do not apply at all if you use your vehicle for business or commercial purposes. In addition, the implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose does not apply if your vehicle is used for racing, even if the vehicle is equipped for racing. The warranties contained in this booklet and all questions regarding their enforceability and interpretation are governed by the law of the state in which you purchased your vehicle. Some states do not allow Ford to limit how long an implied warranty lasts or to exclude or limit incidental or consequential damages, so the limitation and exclusions described above may not apply to you. NOTE: This information about the limitation of implied warranties and the exclusion of incidental and consequential damages under the NEW VEHICLE LIMITED WARRANTY also applies to the EMISSIONS WARRANTIES described on pages 16-28. 5 Ford participates in the BBB AUTO LINE warranty dispute resolution program. You may contact BBB AUTO LINE by calling 800-955-5100. You are required to submit your warranty dispute to the BBB AUTO LINE before exercising rights or seeking remedies under the Federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, 15 U.S.C. § 2301 et seq. To the extent permitted by the applicable state ‘‘Lemon Law’’, you are also required to submit your warranty dispute to the BBB AUTO LINE before exercising any rights or seeking remedies under the ‘‘Lemon Law’’. If you choose to seek remedies that are not created by the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act or the applicable state ‘‘Lemon Law,’’ you are not required to first use BBB AUTO LINE to resolve your dispute – although the program is still available to you. For more information regarding the BBB AUTO LINE program, see page 30 of this booklet. 6 QUICK REFERENCE: WARRANTY COVERAGE This chart gives a general summary of your warranty coverage provided by Ford Motor Company under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. Please refer to the description of warranty coverage for more specific information. For each type of coverage, the chart shows two measures: • years in service • miles driven The measure that occurs first determines how long your coverage lasts. For example: Your Bumper to Bumper Coverage lasts for four years unless you drive more than 50,000 miles before four years elapse. In that case, your coverage ends at 50,000 miles. For more details on coverage, see: ➡ What is Covered? (pages 7-9) ➡ What is Not Covered? (pages 11-14) 7 WHAT IS COVERED? Your NEW VEHICLE LIMITED WARRANTY gives you specific legal rights. You may have other rights that vary from state to state. Under your New Vehicle Limited Warranty if: - your Lincoln vehicle is properly operated and maintained, and - was taken to an authorized dealership for a warranted repair during the warranty period, then the authorized dealer will, without charge, repair, replace, or adjust all parts on your vehicle that malfunction or fail during normal use during the applicable coverage period due to a manufacturing defect in factory-supplied materials or factory workmanship. This warranty does not mean that each Lincoln vehicle is defect free. Defects may be unintentionally introduced into vehicles during the design and manufacturing processes and such defects could result in the need for repairs. Ford provides the New Vehicle Limited Warranty only to remedy manufacturing defects that result in vehicle part malfunction or failure during the warranty period. The remedy under this written warranty, and any implied warranty, is limited to repair, replacement, or adjustment of defective parts. This exclusive remedy shall not be deemed to have failed its essential purpose so long as Ford, through its authorized dealers, is willing and able to repair, replace, or adjust defective parts in the prescribed manner. Ford’s liability, if any, shall in no event exceed the cost of correcting manufacturing defects as herein provided and upon expiration of this warranty, any such liability shall terminate. Conditions that are not covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty are described on pages 11-14. When making warranty repairs on your vehicle, the dealer will use Ford or Motorcraft parts or remanufactured or other parts that are authorized by Ford, at the discretion of Ford or the dealership. Nothing in this warranty should be construed as requiring defective parts to be replaced with parts of a different type or design than the original part, so long as the vehicle functions properly with the replacement part. Moreover, Ford and its authorized dealers are entitled to a reasonable time and a reasonable number of attempts within which to diagnose and repair any defect covered by this warranty. 8 In certain instances, Ford may authorize repairs at other than Lincoln or Ford dealer facilities. Two separate warranties apply to tires on your new vehicle. The New Vehicle Limited Warranty covers tire defects in factory supplied material or workmanship for 100% of labor costs and on a pro rata adjustment basis for parts. (See the reimbursement schedule below). For vehicles within the New Vehicle Limited Warranty time in service and mileage coverage period, defective tires will be replaced on a pro rata adjustment basis according to the following mileage-based Reimbursement Schedule: MILES DRIVEN 1-12,000 12,001-24,000 24,001-36,000 36,001-50,000 PERCENT OF PARTS COVERED BY FORD 100% 60% 30% 15% The tire manufacturer also provides you with a separate tire warranty that may extend beyond the New Vehicle Limited Warranty coverage. You will find the manufacturer’s tire warranty with the owner literature supplied with your vehicle. You have the option of having a tire warranty repair performed by the tire manufacturer’s authorized service center. If you go to a tire service center for a repair covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty, you may be charged a prorated amount for wear or other charges. If so, you should present your paid invoice detailing the nature of the charges to any Lincoln or Ford dealership for refund consideration. When making warranty repairs on your vehicle, the dealer will use Ford or Motorcraft parts or remanufactured or other parts that are authorized by Ford. In certain instances, Ford may authorize repairs at other than Lincoln or Ford dealer facilities. Tire replacements under warranty will be made with the same brand and model as originally equipped with the vehicle unless the same brand and model is no longer available, in which case a tire of the same brand, size, load, speed and tread type will be used. In some circumstances, Ford may authorize another brand and/or model to substitute for the original brand and model, even if still available. Normal tire wear or damage is not reimbursable. See page 13 for details of what is not covered. 9 Extended warranty coverage periods are available for certain vehicle parts and conditions. Specifically, (1) Your vehicle’s Powertrain components are covered for six years or 70,000 miles, whichever occurs first. The extended coverage applies to the Engine: all internal lubricated parts, cylinder block, cylinder heads, electrical fuel pump, powertrain control module, engine mounts, flywheel, injection pump, manifold (exhaust and intake), manifold bolts, oil pan, oil pump, seals and gaskets, engine thermostat, engine thermostat housing, timing chain cover, timing chain (gears or belt), turbocharger/supercharger unit, valve covers, water pump; Transmission: all internal parts, clutch cover, seals and gaskets, torque converter, transfer case (including all internal parts), transmission case, transmission mounts; Front-Wheel Drive: axle shafts, front bearings, seals and gaskets, universal and constant velocity joints; Rear-Wheel Drive: axle shafts, bearings (front and rear), center support bearing, drive axle housing (including all internal parts), drive shaft, retainers, supports, seals and gaskets, universal and constant velocity joints. Four-wheel/All-Wheel Drive: axle shafts, bearings (front and rear), center support bearing, drive shafts, final drive housing (including all internal parts), hubs-automatic front locking (four-wheel drive), locking rings (four-wheel drive), seals and gaskets, universal and constant velocity joints. (2) Your vehicle’s safety belts and air bag Supplemental Restraint (SRS) are covered for an extended Safety Restraint Coverage Period, which lasts for five years or 60,000 miles, whichever occurs first. (3) Your vehicle’s body sheet metal panels are covered for an extended Corrosion Coverage Period, which lasts for five years, regardless of miles driven. The extended warranty coverage only applies if a body sheet metal panel becomes perforated due to corrosion during normal use due to a manufacturing defect in factory-supplied materials or factory workmanship. If aluminum body panels have corrosion or rust damage, and the damage is not the result of abnormal usage, vehicle accident, customer actions and/or extreme environmental conditions, the corrosion or rust damage repairs are covered for 5 years, unlimited miles. For damage caused by airborne material (environmental fallout) where there is no factory-related defect involved and therefore no warranty − our policy is to provide free repair of paint damage due to the airborne material for 12 months or 12,000 miles, whichever occurs first. 10 WHAT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE NEW VEHICLE LIMITED WARRANTY? Damage Caused By: • accidents, collision or objects striking the vehicle (including driving through a car wash) • theft, vandalism, or riot • fire or explosion • using contaminated or improper fuel/fluids • customer-applied chemicals or accidental spills • driving through water deep enough to cause water to be ingested into the engine • misuse of the vehicle, such a driving over curbs, overloading, racing or using the vehicle as a permanent stationary power source Damage Caused by Alteration or Modification The New Vehicle Limited Warranty does not cover any damage caused by: • alterations or modifications of the vehicle, including the body, chassis, electronics or their components, after the vehicle leaves the control of Ford Motor Company • tampering with the vehicle, tampering with the emissions systems or with the other parts that affect these systems (for example, but not limited to exhaust and intake systems) • the installation or use of a non-Ford Motor Company part or software (other than a certified emissions part or software) or any part or software (Ford or non-Ford) designed for off-road use only installed after the vehicle leaves the control of Ford Motor Company, if the installed part fails or causes a Ford part to fail. Examples include, but are not limited to lift kits, oversized tires, roll bars, cellular phones, alarm systems, automatic starting systems and performance-enhancing powertrain components or software and performance “chips”. Your vehicle may allow, enable or facilitate the use of certain non-Ford Motor Company software. Ford is not responsible for the functionality of such software. Ford may disallow, discontinue or modify your ability to use such software at any time without prior notification or incurring any warranty or other obligation. Non-Ford Motor Company software may be governed by End User License Agreement or warranty provided by the software provider. For Ford Motor Company software see End User License Agreement found in the Owner Manual. 11 Damage Caused by Use and/or the Environment The New Vehicle Limited Warranty does not cover surface rust, deterioration and damage of paint, trim, upholstery, and other appearance items that result from use and/or exposure to the elements.

Tire Wear or Damage The New Vehicle Limited Warranty does not cover normal wear or worn out tires. Tires will not be replaced (unless required by a warranty repair) for wear or damage including: • tire damage from road hazard such as cuts, snags, bruises, bulges, puncture, and impact breaks • tire damage due to under or over inflation, tire chain use, racing, spinning (as when stuck in snow or mud), improper mounting or dismounting, or tire repair SYNC Hands-Free Communications and Entertainment System If your vehicle is equipped with SYNC, the New Vehicle Limited Warranty does not cover repairs under certain conditions, such as failure to provide proper installation environment.

Any damage caused to Ford components due to the failure of aftermarket parts (other than a certified emissions part) is not covered. • converted MKT Town Car (Limousine/Hearse) that are not equipped with the proper Builder’s Package, is extended beyond its limitations, or its Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) is extended beyond its limitations. See important information about MKT Town Car conversions on page 32. • any other Lincoln vehicles that are converted to limousines or hearse. This will void the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

In California, new motor vehicles must be designed, built, and equipped to meet the State’s stringent anti-smog standards. Ford must warrant the emission control system on your vehicle for the periods of time listed below, provided there has been no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of your vehicle. Your emission control system may include parts such as the carburetor or fuel injection system, the ignition system, catalytic converter, and engine computer. Also included may be hoses, belts, connectors and other emissions-related assemblies. Where a warrantable condition exists, Ford Motor Company will repair your vehicle at no cost to you, including diagnosis, parts and labor. 22 Manufacturer’s Warranty Coverage: For Vehicles Eligible for California Emissions Warranty Coverage if Gross Vehicle Weight Rating is 14,000 lbs. or less: For 3 years or 50,000 miles (whichever first occurs): 1. If your vehicle fails a Smog Check inspection, all necessary repairs and adjustments will be made by Ford to ensure that your Lincoln passes the inspection. This is your emission control system PERFORMANCE WARRANTY. 2. If any emissions-related part on your vehicle is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by Ford. This is your short-term emission control system DEFECTS WARRANTY. For 7 years or 70,000 miles (whichever first occurs): If an emissions-related part listed in this booklet on page 25 with coverage for 7 years or 70,000 miles is defective or if its failure causes your vehicle to fail a Smog Check inspection, the part will be repaired or replaced by Ford.

For more details about the specific parts that are covered by the Defects Warranty, contact your dealer. WHAT IS NOT COVERED? Ford Motor Company may deny you emissions warranty coverage if your vehicle or a part does not contain a defect that affects emissions or has failed because of abuse, neglect, improper maintenance, unapproved modifications, or any items included in What Is Not Covered? (pages 11-14). 26 7. Additional information about your emissions warranty coverage, under Federal and California requirements HOW DO I GET WARRANTY SERVICE? To get service under your emission warranties, take your vehicle to any Lincoln dealer as soon as possible after illumination of the Malfunction Indicator Light or it has failed an EPA-approved test or a California Smog Check inspection. Be sure to show the dealer the document that says your vehicle has failed the test. Your dealer will determine whether the repair is covered by the warranty. If the dealer has a question about Emissions Performance Warranty coverage, it will forward the question to Ford Motor Company, which must make a final decision within 30 days after you bring your vehicle in for repair. (The decision will be made within a shorter time if state, local, or federal law requires you to have the vehicle repaired more quickly in order to avoid additional penalties.) The deadline for a determination about Emissions Performance Warranty Coverage does not need to be met if you request a delay, agree to a delay in writing, or if the delay is caused by an event for which neither Ford Motor Company nor your dealer is responsible. If a question about Emissions Performance Warranty coverage is referred to Ford Motor Company, you will be notified by Ford Motor Company in writing if your claim for warranty coverage is denied. The notice will explain the basis for denying your claim. If you fail to receive this notice within a timely manner, as determined above, Ford Motor Company will perform the warranty repair for you free of charge. You will be notified by Ford Motor Company in writing if your claim for warranty coverage is denied. The notice will explain the basis for denying your claim. If you fail to receive this notice, Ford Motor Company will perform the warranty repair for you free of charge. HOW DO I HANDLE EMERGENCY REPAIRS? If your vehicle needs an emergency warrantable repair and an authorized dealer is not available, or if an authorized dealer cannot perform warrantable repair(s) within 30 days of you bringing your vehicle to the dealer, repairs may be performed at any service establishment or by you using Ford equivalent replacement parts. Ford Motor Company will reimburse you for the cost of these warranty repairs including diagnosis, if you take the part(s) that are replaced and the 27 repair receipt(s) to a Lincoln or Ford dealer. The reimbursement shall not exceed Ford’s suggested retail price for the warranted parts that are replaced and labor charges based on Ford’s recommended time allowance for the warranty repair and the geographically appropriate hourly rate. WHAT REPLACEMENT PARTS SHOULD I USE? Ford Motor Company recommends that you use genuine Ford replacement parts. However, when you are having non-warranty work done on your vehicle, you may choose to use non-Ford parts. If you decide to use non-Ford parts, be sure they are equivalent to Ford parts in performance, quality, and durability. If you use replacement parts that are not equivalent to Ford parts, your vehicle’s emissions control systems may not work as effectively, and you may jeopardize your emissions warranty coverage. For vehicles within the warranty period, Ford Motor Company will repair at no cost to the owner, under the Federal Emissions Warranty, covered emission failures caused by properly installed Ford parts or non-Ford parts that have been “certified” by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Ford is not responsible for the cost of repairing any emission failures caused by non-Ford parts that have not been ‘‘certified’’ by the EPA. The maintenance, replacement, or repair of emissions control devices or systems can be performed by any automotive repair establishment or individual using Ford replacement parts or EPA-certified parts without voiding your Federal Warranty coverage for future repairs during the warranty period. PROPER MAINTENANCE PRESERVES YOUR WARRANTY If you do not maintain your vehicle properly, Ford Motor Company may have the right to deny you warranty coverage. To have repairs made under this warranty, you may have to show that you have followed Ford’s instructions on properly maintaining and using your vehicle. You will find these instructions in your Owner’s Manual. Be sure to save your service receipts and to keep accurate records of all maintenance work.
