Driver habits
•In general, better fuel economy is achieved during moderate
acceleration and deceleration as opposed to aggressive acceleration
and deceleration. This is true regardless of the mode in which you’re
operating your vehicle.
•To maximize fuel economy, try to extend the length of time the
vehicle operates in electric mode by accelerating lightly. The more you
keep the vehicle in electric mode, the better fuel economy you will
achieve.
•For more information on improving the fuel economy of your Mariner
Hybrid, refer toEssentials of good fuel economyin theMaintenance
and Specificationschapter.

•whether or not the driver and passenger seatbelts were buckled;
•how far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or the
brake pedal;
•how fast the vehicle was traveling; and

authority. Other parties may seek to access the information
independently of Ford Motor Company and Ford of Canada.

AUTOMATIC DIMMING REAR VIEW MIRROR (IF EQUIPPED)
Your vehicle may be equipped with
an inside rear view mirror with an
auto-dimming function. The
electrochromic day/night mirror will
change from the normal (high
reflective) state to the non-glare
(darkened) state when bright lights (glare) reach the mirror. When the
mirror detects bright light from behind the vehicle, it will automatically
adjust (darken) to minimize glare.
The mirror will automatically return to the normal state whenever the
vehicle is placed in R (Reverse) to ensure a bright clear view when
backing up.
Do not block the sensor on the backside of the inside rear view mirror
since this may impair proper mirror performance.
EXTERIOR MIRRORS
Power side view mirrors
To adjust your mirrors:
1. Rotate the control, located on the
instrument panel left of the steering
wheel, clockwise to adjust the right
mirror and rotate the control
counterclockwise to adjust the left
mirror.
2. Move the control in the direction
you wish to tilt the mirror.
3. Rotate control to the center position to lock mirrors in place.
Fold-away mirrors
Fold the side mirrors in carefully
when driving through a narrow
space, like an automatic car wash.
