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.

Cell phone use
The use of Mobile Communications Equipment has become increasingly
important in the conduct of business and personal affairs. However,
drivers must not compromise their own or others’ safety when using
such equipment. Mobile Communications can enhance personal safety
and security when appropriately used, particularly in emergency
situations. Safety must be paramount when using mobile communications
equipment to avoid negating these benefits.
Mobile Communication Equipment includes, but is not limited to cellular
phones, pagers, portable email devices, in-vehicle communications
systems, telematics devices and portable two-way radios.
A driver’s first responsibility is the safe operation of the vehicle.
The most important thing you can do to prevent a crash is to
avoid distractions and pay attention to the road. Wait until it is safe to
operate Mobile Communications Equipment.
Middle East/North Africa vehicle specific information

features and options that are different from the ones that are described

complements this book. By referring to the pages in the provided
supplement, you can properly identify those features, recommendations
and specifications that are unique to your vehicle.Refer to this

Service soon:The Service soon
indicator illuminates when the
vehicle has detected a malfunction.
Report the fault to a dealer at the
earliest opportunity.
Brake system warning light:To
confirm the brake system warning
light is functional, it will
momentarily illuminate when the
ignition is turned to the RUN
position (when the engine is not running), or in a position between RUN
and START, or by applying the parking brake when the ignition is turned
to the RUN position. If the brake system warning light does not
illuminate at this time, seek service immediately from your authorized
dealer. Illumination after releasing the parking brake indicates low brake
fluid level and the brake system should be inspected immediately by
your authorized dealer.
Driving a vehicle with the brake system warning light on is
dangerous. A significant decrease in braking performance may
occur. It will take you longer to stop the vehicle. Have the vehicle
checked by your authorized dealer.
Anti-lock brake system (ABS):If
the lamp stays on for more than a
few seconds, then an ABS fault is
indicated, have the system serviced
immediately by your authorized
dealer. Normal braking is still functional unless the brake warning light
also is illuminated.
Airbag readiness:If this light fails
to illuminate when ignition is turned
to ON, continues to flash or remains
on, have the system serviced
immediately by your authorized
dealer. A chime will also sound when a malfunction in the supplemental
restraint system has been detected.
