Starting the vehicle
•The engine will start and run when you first turn the ignition key to
the start position.
•The engine cannot be started in the N (Neutral) position.
•Depending upon temperature and the high voltage battery’s state of
charge, the engine may shut off shortly after starting the vehicle; this
is a normal condition and you do not need to restart the vehicle. The
Ready Indicator Light in the instrument cluster will illuminate to
indicate the vehicle is running. For more Ready Indicator Light
information, refer toWarning lights and chimesin theInstrument
Clusterchapter.
DRIVING THE VEHICLE
Starting Out:
Under normal operation with the vehicle at operating temperature, the
engine will start automatically as you accelerate. Sometimes the engine
will start immediately as you begin moving, while other times the vehicle
will obtain a speed of up to 25 mph (40 km/h) before the engine starts.
You may hear and feel the engine starting as you transition from
electrical to hybrid (gas engine on) operation. This is a normal condition.
These are some of the conditions that may cause engine start-up:
•High voltage battery re-charge is required.
•Driver acceleration demands exceed electric motor capability.
•Outside air temperature is overly hot or cold.
•Certain climate system modes of operation.
•If you are starting up hill or accelerating quickly, the engine will start
immediately as operating conditions require additional power.
Note:If the high voltage battery is very cold or very hot, the engine may
operate more than under normal conditions, and vehicle performance
may be temporarily reduced. This is a normal condition.
Transmission operation
•Your vehicle does not shift like a conventional vehicle. You may feel
transitions between the various operating modes of the hybrid system,
but no actual shifting occurs. For more information about transmission
operation, refer toUnderstanding the gearshift positions of the
electronically-controlled Continuously Variable Transaxle (eCVT)
in theDrivingchapter.

Stopping the vehicle
•The vehicle’s engine may shut off as you come to a stop; this is a
normal condition and helps to conserve fuel. You do not need to
restart the vehicle.
Neutral operation
•The vehicle does not charge the high voltage battery in the N
(Neutral) position. Do not idle the vehicle in N (Neutral) for extended
periods as this will discharge the high voltage battery.
Low gear operation
•In L (Low) gear, you may feel an increased sensation of engine
braking as you remove your foot from the accelerator. L (Low) gear
can be helpful when driving down an incline; unlike in a conventional
vehicle, L (Low) does not offer an advantage over D (Drive) in uphill
or off-road driving conditions.
Reverse operation
•Vehicle speed is limited to 22 mph (35 km/h) while operating in R
(Reverse) gear.
MARINER HYBRID UNIQUE OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS
•You may hear some unique sounds from a hybrid vehicle. The Mariner
Hybrid is equipped with a high voltage battery air conditioning system
in the rear of the vehicle which cools the high voltage battery in order
to ensure high voltage battery life and optimize performance. You may
hear a slight clunk or tap noise as the vent door operates, as well as a
fan noise in the rear of the vehicle; this noise is the high voltage
battery cooling fan. The high voltage battery cooling may also continue
to operate for short durations after the vehicle has been turned off.
These vehicle conditions and noises are normal and do not require
service.
•You may hear a pumping sound when you enter the vehicle or a
venting sound a few minutes after parking the vehicle. This is due to
charging and discharging of the hydraulic portion of the regenerative
braking system.
•You may hear a slight whine or whistle when operating your vehicle.
This noise could occur at idle, and during cruising and accelerating; it
is caused by the normal operation of electrical generator in the hybrid
system.

WARNING LIGHTS AND CHIMES
Warning lights and gauges can alert you to a vehicle condition that may
become serious enough to cause expensive repairs. A warning light may
illuminate when a problem exists with one of your vehicle’s functions.
Many lights will illuminate when you start your vehicle to test and make
sure the bulb works. If any light remains on after starting the vehicle,
refer to the respective system warning light for additional information.
Note:A message may be displayed in the message center in conjunction
with an illuminated warning light, refer toMessage Centerin theDriver
Controlschapter for more information.
Service engine soon:TheService
engine soonindicator light
illuminates when the ignition is first
turned to the RUN position to check
the bulb. Solid illumination after the engine is started indicates the On
Board Diagnostics System (OBD-II) has detected a malfunction. Refer to
On board diagnostics (OBD-II)in theMaintenance and Specifications
chapter. If the light is blinking, engine misfire is occurring which could
damage your catalytic converter. Drive in a moderate fashion (avoid
heavy acceleration and deceleration) and have your vehicle serviced
immediately by your authorized dealer.
Under engine misfire conditions, excessive exhaust temperatures
could damage the catalytic converter, the fuel system, interior
floor coverings or other vehicle components, possibly causing a fire.

MANUAL HEATING AND AIR
CONDITIONING SYSTEM
1.Fan speed adjustment:Controls
the volume of air circulated in the
vehicle.
2.Air flow selections:Controls
the direction of the airflow in the
vehicle. See the following for a brief description on each control.
MAX A/C:Uses recirculated air to cool the vehicle. Air flows from the
instrument panel vents only.Note:With the climate system set to MAX
A/C mode, the engine will typically run continuously, reducing fuel
economy. This also applies to the other two modes displayed with an
orange graphic:
(defrost/floor), and(defrost).
A/C
:Uses recirculated air to cool the vehicle. Air flows from the
instrument panel vents only.Note:When A/C
mode is selected,
you may notice the air temperature cycle from cooler to warmer as the
engine turns on and off.
A/C:Uses outside air to cool the vehicle. Air flows from the instrument
panel vents only.Note:When A/C mode is selected, you may notice the
air temperature cycle from cooler to warmer as the engine turns on and
off.
:Distributes outside air through the instrument panel vents.
O (OFF):Outside air is shut out and the fan will not operate.
:Distributes outside air through the instrument panel vents and the
floor vents.
:Distributes outside air through the floor vents.
:Distributes outside air through the windshield defroster vents and
floor vents. The air conditioner will automatically turn on to dehumidify
the air.
Note:With the climate system set to
(defrost/floor) mode, the
engine will typically run continuously, reducing fuel economy.
:Distributes outside air through the windshield defroster vents. The
air conditioner will automatically turn on to dehumidify the air.
Note:With the climate system set to

Operating tips
•To reduce fog build up on the windshield during humid weather, place
the air flow selector in the
position.
•To reduce humidity build up inside the vehicle in cold weather: do not
drive with the air flow selector in the O (OFF), A/C
or MAX
A/C position.
•Under normal weather conditions, do not leave the air flow selector in
MAX A/C, A/C
or O (OFF) when the vehicle is parked. This
allows the vehicle to “breathe” using the outside air inlet vents.
•Do not put objects under the front seats that will interfere with the
airflow to the back seats.
•Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air intake area at the base of
the windshield.
To aid in side window defogging/demisting in cold weather:
1. Select A/C.
2. Adjust the temperature control to maintain comfort.
3. Set the fan speed to 4.
4. Direct the outer instrument panel vents towards the side windows.
To increase airflow to the outer instrument panel vents, close the vents
located in the middle of the instrument panel.
Do not place objects on top of the instrument panel as these
objects may become projectiles in a collision or sudden stop.
REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER
The rear defroster control is located
on the instrument panel. Press to
clear the rear window of thin ice
and fog. The small LED will
illuminate when activated.
Ensure that the ignition is in the 3 (RUN) position in order to operate
the rear window defroster.
The defroster turns off automatically after 15 minutes or when the
ignition is turned to the 1 (LOCK) position. To manually turn off the
defroster before 15 minutes have passed, push the control a second time.
