2007 Mercury Mariner Hybrid parking brake

Note:The brake system on this vehicle can only be bled at a authorized
dealer.
TRANSMISSION FLUID
Checking electronically controlled continuously variable
transmission (eCVT)
Refer to yourscheduled maintenance informationchapter for
scheduled intervals for fluid checks and changes. Your transaxle does not
consume fluid. It is designed to be filled for life. However, the fluid level
should be checked if you notice some sign of fluid leakage.
Automatic transmission fluid expands when warmed. To obtain an
accurate fluid check, drive the vehicle until it is warmed up
(approximately 20 miles [30 km]). If your vehicle has been
operated for an extended period at high speeds, in city traffic
during hot weather or pulling a trailer, the vehicle should be
turned off for about 30 minutes to allow fluid to cool before
checking.
1. Drive the vehicle 20 miles (30 km) or until it reaches normal operating
temperature.
2. Park the vehicle on a level surface and engage the parking brake.
3. With the parking brake engaged
and your foot on the brake pedal,
turn the key to the ACCESSORY
position but do not start the engine.
Turn the wheel to the left to gain
access to the check plug.
4. Latch the gearshift lever in P (Park) and make sure that the engine is
OFF by placing the ignition in the Lock position.
