Specifications
LOCATION OF THE SPARE TIRE AND TOOLS
The spare tire is located under the vehicle,
just forward of the rear bumper. The spare
tire winch drive nut is located at the rear
center of the cargo area, under a lid. The
jack, lug nut wrench and jack handle are
located behind the rear seat under the
carpeted floor lid in the cargo floor.
FUSES
If electrical components in your vehicle are
not working, a fuse may have blown. The
fuse panel is below the instrument panel on
the driver’s side; remove the cover to view
the fuses. To learn about changing fuses,
please see your Owner’s Guide.
UNLEADED FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS
Use “Regular” unleaded gasoline with an
(R+M)/2 octane rating of 87. Mercury does
not recommend using “Regular” gasoline
with an octane rating of 86 or lower in high
altitude areas.
TIRE PRESSURE
Your tire pressure is properly set at the
dealership according to the recommended
specifications found on the Tire Pressure
Label on the driver’s door jamb. Please
check your tire pressure during routinemaintenance and seasonal changes. If the
Tire Pressure Monitoring System light (if
equipped) stays illuminated after starting,
immediately check your tire pressure.
Warning: Improperly inflated tires can affect
vehicle handling and can fail suddenly,
possibly resulting in loss of vehicle control.
CHANGING THE TIRES
Your spare tire is not equipped with a Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) sensor.
The TPMS warning light (if equipped) will
illuminate when the spare is in use. Replace
the spare with the road tire as soon as
possible. If your vehicle is equipped with
AWD, remember that a spare tire of a
different size should not be used. It can make
your vehicle difficult to control and can result
in damage to driveline components. If you
get a flat tire while driving, do not apply the
brake heavily. Instead, gradually decrease
your speed. Hold the steering wheel firmly
and slowly move to a safe place on the side
of the road.
