2002 Mercury Villager fuel

Optional electronic instrument cluster gauges
Engine coolant temperature gauge
Indicates the temperature of the engine coolant. At normal operating
temperature, the needle remains within the normal area (the area
between the“H”and“C”). If it enters the red section, the engine is
overheating. Stop the vehicle as soon as safely possible, switch off the
ignition and let it cool. Refer toEngine coolantin theMaintenance
and specificationschapter.
This gauge indicates the temperature of the engine coolant, not the
coolant level. If the coolant is not at its proper level or mixture, the
gauge indication will not be accurate.
Never remove the coolant reservoir cap while the engine is
running or hot. Steam and scalding liquid from a hot cooling
system can burn you badly.

the rear washer. The wiper will
come on when the washer control is
pressed, if it is not already on.
Windshield wiper blades
Check the wiper blades for wear at least twice a year or when they seem
less effective. Substances such as tree sap and some hot wax treatments
used by commercial car washes reduce the effectiveness of wiper blades.
Checking the wiper blades
If the wiper blades do not wipe properly, clean both the windshield and
wiper blades using undiluted windshield wiper solution or a mild
detergent. Rinse thoroughly with clean water. To avoid damaging the
blades, do not use fuel, kerosene, paint thinner or other solvents.

Message center functions
Outside temp
Press SELECT until the menu
displays OUTSIDE TEMP. This will
display the temperature of the air
outside of your vehicle. The
accurate temperature will be
displayed after the vehicle has
reached the outside temperature
and is driven at speeds of 48 km/h
(30 mph) or greater.
Inst economy
Press SELECT until the menu
displays INST ECONOMY. This will
display your fuel economy in
liters/100 km or miles/gallon based
on the type of traffic you are in.
Your vehicle must be moving to
calculate instantaneous fuel
economy. When your vehicle is not
moving, this function shows 99 L/100km or 0 MILES/GAL. Instantaneous
fuel economy cannot be reset.
Avg economy
Press SELECT until the menu
displays AVG ECONOMY. This will
display your average fuel economy
in liters/100 km or miles/gallon.
If you calculate your average fuel
economy by dividing liters of fuel
used by 100 kilometers traveled
(miles traveled by gallons used),
your figure may be different than displayed for the following reasons:
•your vehicle was not perfectly level during fill-up
•differences in the automatic shut-off points on the fuel pumps at
service stations
•rounding of the displayed values to the nearest 0.1 liter (gallon)

Checking your highway fuel economy using the electronic
message center display
Use the following procedure will allow you to accurately monitor your
actual highway fuel economy. This procedure requires the vehicle speed
control system to be set to highway speeds and must be run only on
suitable roadways where long distance speed control can be safely
maintained.
You may notice gradual improvement in fuel economy over the course of
your vehicle’s break-in period (approximately 1 600 kilometers [1 000
miles]).
1. Set the speed control. Refer toSpeed controlin this chapter.
2. Select AVG ECONOMY.
3. Press the RESET control to clear
the system memory.
•Actual highway fuel economy is
now displayed.This current
average measure will change as
the speed control system changes
the engine speed to maintain a
constant vehicle speed. This is most noticeable in hilly environments.
4. Drive the vehicle at least 8 km (5 miles) with the speed control
system engaged to display a stabilized average.
5. Record the highway fuel economy for future reference.
It is important to press the RESET control after setting the speed
control to get accurate highway fuel economy readings.
To empty
Press SELECT until the menu
displays TO EMPTY. This will
