2008 Mercury Mountaineer navigation update

HYBRID INFORMATION (IF EQUIPPED)
If you have a Hybrid vehicle, your navigation system has special Hybrid
screens which relay Energy Flow and Fuel Economy information. To
access these screens, press MENU and then select the HEV tab.
ENERGY FLOW SCREEN
The Energy flow screen shows a graphical representation of how power
is transferred in the Hybrid system to accelerate the vehicle or recharge
the battery, and also which mode is currently active. These screens are
informational and do not require any input from you.
Note:Due to the screen updates and simplification of the graphics, the
display may not show the actual vehicle status.
1.Engine Power:This line represents how much power is being
provided to the wheels by the engine. The arrow will always flow in one
direction and point to the wheels.
2.Engine:This icon represents the Internal Combustion Engine (ICE).
It will be highlighted in orange only when the ICE is running.
3.Generator Power:This line represents how much power is being
generated by the engine for use by the High Voltage (HV) electric
system, or how much power is being used by the High Voltage (HV)
electric system to control/start the engine.

FUEL ECONOMY SCREEN
The fuel economy screen displays
instantaneous fuel consumption,
overall average fuel economy and
also a graph of fuel economy
achieved in the last minute of
driving. To view this screen, press
SHOW FUEL ECONOMY on the
HEV tab screen.
•Instantaneous Fuel Consumption (Inst Cons):This is displayed
on the vertical bar on the left of the screen ranging from 0–60 mpg.
Your vehicle must be moving to calculate instantaneous fuel
consumption. When the vehicle is not moving, the Ins Cons function
will display no bar on the Inst Cons graph indicating 0 mpg.
Conversely, if you are driving in electric mode (Engine off), this
function will display 60 mpg. Instantaneous Consumption cannot be
reset.
•Overall Average Fuel Economy (AVG MPG):The AVG MPG is
displayed on the upper left hand corner of the screen. The AVG MPG
will be retained when the key is turned OFF and will continue
averaging when driving resumes. Pressing RESET will reset the AVG
MPG to zero.
•One minute average graph:The graph is updated each minute with
the fuel economy that was achieved during the prior minute of driving.
Each new one minute average will be added to the left side of the
graph, shifting the past data to the right. When the graph area is full,
the right most point will be deleted, keeping a running scroll from left
to right of the last 15 minutes of driving. The graph is intended to
provide a graphical representation of how driving habits/conditions can
affect fuel economy. Note that the graph will be cleared anytime the
key is turned out of RUN (however, the overall average fuel economy
will retain its value). Press RESET to clear the graph.
If the Navigation system has been set to units of Kilometer, the Fuel
Economy screen will display the equivalent Consumption Graph in units
of L/1000 KM. In Consumption (L/1000 KM) mode, the IFE function will
display MAX until the vehicle is moving. For more information on
Average Fuel Economy, refer toMessage centerin theDriver Controls
chapter in yourOwner’s Guide.

5. Press OPEN. The navigation screen will fold down, allowing you to
access the navigation DVD slot. Insert the DVD with the printed side up
into the lowest slot. If you do not wish to change the DVD, simply
reinsert the DVD and the system will close automatically. Do not allow
moisture or foreign objects to enter the slot. The system then will check
the disc inserted. If valid, it will install the software and restart the
system.
If you do not wish to access the DVD, press CANCEL.
LATEST MAP DVDS
The map content is constantly changing due to new roads, traffic,
restrictions, etc. Therefore, it is not always possible to exactly match the
DVD map with the current roadways. For best results, always use the
latest version of the map DVD. Map information is regularly updated, but
all areas are not necessarily covered to the same level of detail. Some
areas, in particular private roads, may not be included on the MAP DVD.
To help with accuracy, always use the latest DVD version for navigation.
Updates to the database will have no effect on the contents of the
address book and other user settings. Loading an older version of the
map DVD may result in data loss.

CLEANING MAP DVDS
Note:Ensure that you handle the high density digital map DVD with
care and by the edges only. Fingerprints, smudges and scratches on the
disc can affect Navigation System performance.
1. Ensure that you use a soft, non-abrasive, lint-free cloth.
2. DO NOT clean the disc in a circular motion as this may harm the pits
on the surface of the disc.
3. In order to minimize any scratching, wipe the disc with the cloth from
the inner hub to the outside of the disc.
4. DO NOT use any type of liquid cleaning solutions on the discs.
