My Lincoln
2021 Lincoln Nautilus 2.0 FWD
The manual says; Check Monthly: (page 460): "The fuel and water separator. Drain if necessary or if indicated by the information display." What is this? does it exist??

and "The air filter restriction gauge." Sound important for a turbo, but do we have that???


I've seen big mistakes in manuals...
:WHAT IS THE TRANSMISSIONFLUID TEMPERATURE GAUGE? configurable gauge. I can't find this

WHAT IS THE ENGINE OILPRESSURE GAUGEIndicates the engine oil pressure."Note: This is a configurable gauge"

12V BATTERY GAUGE /

None of these seem to exist in my Nautilus gauge cluster. Is there air filter restriction gauge on the air filter housing or something, and a fuel/water ? I';m glad they don't say to change the blinker fluid... thanks for any advice.
 
I have a PDF of the 2021 manual with a (1) with the "air filter restriction gauge" which is explained on the next page as "Diesel vehicles only". Did Lincoln ever offer the Nautilus with a diesel, I don't think so.
It would be so easy to custom generate a manual for every vehicle that comes off the line, documenting the exact features that it has. But instead we get crap like this.

Thanks. It is there and now I remember reading it. I missed the superscript/footnote. I was searching for air filter change interval (turns out to be 30000 miles) and came across this. That explains the fuel/water separator, too, although not the oil pressure gauge. My previous car had that, but I have a feeling that despite the manual, the Nautilus only has an "idiot light" for that.
