Q: I have a 2017 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid with about 24,000 miles. About three years after we purchased it, a warning message appeared: SERVICE TIRE MOBILITY KIT. I took my car to the dealer service department and they, $75 later, replaced the air canister in the kit. Now, three years later, that message has appeared again. How long can I go without replacing the air canister and how do I turn off or reset the continual appearance of that tire kit message?

A: New canisters are rated to last four years. It is easy to replace, and the instructions should be in your owner’s manual. You reset the warning using the vehicle’s info screen settings and scroll until you find "Reset Tire Mobility Kit." Next, select the four-years button and you will get another reminded in four years. The canister is a dealer part.
