2007 Mercury Mariner Hybrid change time

•The Mariner Hybrid’s hydraulic brake system used for regenerative
braking is different from other vehicles. The noise from the ABS pump
motor and the brake pedal pulsation are much less than on vehicles
with conventional ABS. Noise and pedal pulsation during ABS may not
be noticed. For more information about braking, refer toBrakingin
theDrivingchapter.
•The engine speed in an Mariner Hybrid is not directly tied to the
vehicle speed. Under certain conditions, the engine speed may appear
much higher than that of a conventional automobile. This is a normal
condition and is caused by engine speed optimization to maximize fuel
economy.
•During certain events (such as vehicle servicing) your low voltage
(underhood) battery may become disconnected or disabled. When this
occurs, and after reconnecting the low voltage (underhood) battery
and driving the vehicle, the engine may continue to operate for 3-5
seconds after the key is turned to the 1 (LOCK) position. This is a
normal condition, as the vehicle’s computers are relearning the
operating characteristics of your particular engine in order to operate
it at maximum efficiency.
•The high voltage battery may go through a self-reconditioning process
from time to time; these events optimize high voltage battery
performance. You may notice slight changes to driveability during the
reconditioning process. This is a normal condition.
•If the vehicle is left inoperative for over 31 days, it may be necessary
to jumpstart the vehicle. For more information, refer toJump
starting your vehicle (Low voltage [underhood] battery only)in
theRoadside Emergencieschapter.
DRIVING TO OPTIMIZE FUEL ECONOMY
Fuel economy can be significantly impacted by your driving habits and
accessory usage. To optimize the fuel economy in your vehicle, please be
aware of the following vehicle functions which affect fuel economy:
A/C operation
•With the climate control system set to MAX A/C, defrost, or
defrost/floor mode (the orange graphics on your climate control), the
engine will typically run continuously, reducing fuel economy. Setting
the climate control system to A/C mode or A/C
mode also
reduces fuel economy, but in this case the A/C only operates when the
engine is already running due to other demands. Because the engine
does not run continuously, A/C and A/C
mode are more fuel
efficient than MAX A/C mode.

Limited GPS reception
System performance may be adversely affected if GPS reception is
interrupted or interference occurs over a distance of several miles. The
following are possible causes for GPS reception being interrupted. If the
vehicle is:
•in multi-story parking garages
•in tunnels and under bridges
•in between high buildings
•by forests or tree-lined avenues
•in heavy rain showers and thunderstorms
•in valleys and in mountainous regions
The GPS signal strength may vary. The directional heading indicator at
the bottom of the screen might change color to indicate this signal
strength. The colors are as follows:
•Green — A clear GPS signal is being received.
•Yellow — The GPS signal is partially blocked.
•Red — The GPS signal is unavailable and may be temporarily blocked.
Note:After an ignition cycle, the system must connect to a satellite
signal to get the time for the display.

Guide display
Once your vehicle is moving along
the highlighted route, the Guide
display screen will automatically
appear. This screen shows your next
turn as voice prompts direct you on
the route. When the planned route
contains incomplete map data, the
guide display maneuvers are
identified in “cautionary” yellow. The screens and voice prompts are
continually updated to correspond with your vehicle location. To
disengage the voice prompts, refer toNavigation optionsin this section.
If you are turning onto a road with incomplete map data, the turn icon
will be highlighted in a “cautionary” yellow. If the next maneuver is

Launching or retrieving a boat
Disconnect the wiring to the trailer before backing the trailer
into the water. Reconnect the wiring to the trailer after the
trailer is removed from the water.
When backing down a ramp during boat launching or retrieval:
•do not allow the static water level to rise above the bottom edge of
the rear bumper.
•do not allow waves to break higher than 6 inches (15 cm) above the
bottom edge of the rear bumper.
Exceeding these limits may allow water to enter vehicle components:
•causing internal damage to the components.
•affecting driveability, emissions and reliability.
Replace the rear axle lubricant any time the axle has been submerged in
water. Rear axle lubricant quantities are not to be checked or changed
unless a leak is suspected or repair required.
RECREATIONAL TOWING
An example of “recreational towing” is towing your vehicle behind a
motorhome.
The Mariner Hybrid may beflat-towed(all wheels on the ground) by
shifting the transmission into Neutral. Your vehicle may be towed up to a
speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) but you should always obey local speed
limits.
You also have the option of trailering with all four wheels off the ground.
For other towing requirements, refer toWrecker towingin theRoadside
Emergencieschapter.
