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.

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
(defrost) mode, the engine
will typically run continuously, reducing fuel economy.
3.Temperature selection:Controls the temperature of the airflow in
the vehicle.

Important ventilating information
If the engine is idling while the vehicle is stopped for a long period of
time, open the windows at least one inch (2.5 cm) or adjust the heating
or air conditioning to bring in fresh air.
ENGINE BLOCK/HIGH VOLTAGE BATTERY HEATER
(IF EQUIPPED)
An engine block/high voltage battery heater warms the engine coolant
and high voltage battery cells which aids in starting, vehicle performance
and heater/defroster performance in cold weather. Use of an engine
block/high voltage battery heater is strongly recommended if you live in
a region where temperatures reach -10°F (-23°C) or below. For best
results, plug the heater in at least three hours before starting the vehicle.
The heater can be plugged in the night before starting the vehicle.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not use your heater
with ungrounded electrical systems or two-pronged (cheater)
adapters.
BRAKES
Occasional brake noise is normal. If a metal-to-metal, continuous grinding
or continuous squeal sound is present, the brake linings may be worn-out
and should be inspected by an authorized dealer. If the vehicle has
continuous vibration or shudder in the steering wheel while braking, the
vehicle should be inspected by an authorized dealer.
Refer toBrake system warning
lightin theInstrument Cluster
chapter for information on the brake
system warning light.
Under normal operating conditions, brake dust may accumulate on the
wheels. Some brake dust is inevitable as brakes wear and does not
contribute to brake noise. The use of modern friction materials with
emphasis on improved performance and environmental considerations
can lead to more dust than in the past. Brake dust can be cleaned by
weekly washing with soapy water and a soft sponge. Heavier deposits can
be removed with Motorcraft Wheel and Tire Cleaner (ZC-37–A).
Four-wheel anti-lock brake system (ABS)
Your vehicle is equipped with an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS). This
system helps you maintain steering control during emergency stops by
