ADDITIONALINFORMATION
ESSENTIALINFORMATION
Fuses: If your electrical components are not working properly,
a fuse may have blown. For more information, please see your
Owner’s Guide.
Fuel Pump Shut-off Switch: This device stops the electric fuel
pump from sending fuel to the engine when your vehicle has had
a substantial jolt. After an accident, if you find that the engine
cranks, but does not start, this switch may have been activated. The
fuel pump shut-off switch is located in the front passenger’s footwell,
behind a flip-up cover, by the kick panel access cover.
Location of Spare Tire: If you get a flat tire while driving, do not apply
the brake heavily. Instead, gradually decrease your speed. Hold the
steering wheel firmly and slowly move to a safe place on the side of the
road. Your vehicle is equipped with a temporary spare tire located under
the vehicle, just forward of the rear bumper. The temporary spare tire is
designed for emergency use only and should be replaced as soon as possible.
The jack and tools are located under the carpeted floor panel in the rear cargo
area. For complete details on how to change your tire, refer to the Roadside
Emergencies chapter in your Owner’s Guide.
Tire Pressure: Your tire pressure is properly set at the dealership according to
the recommended specifications found on the Safety Compliance Certification
Label or Tire Label located on the B-Pillar or the edge of the driver’s door. Check
your tire pressure at least once a month and before long trips (including spare).
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure warning light

when one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. Improperly inflated
tires can affect vehicle handling and can fail suddenly, possibly resulting in loss of
vehicle control. Refer to the Tires, Wheels and Loading chapter in your Owner’s Guide
for more details and safety information.
Easy Fuel™ ‘No Cap’ Fuel System: Your vehicle has a ‘no cap’ fuel system which allows you
to simply open the fuel filler door, insert the nozzle and start fueling. The Easy Fuel™ system
is self-sealing and therefore protected against dust, dirt, water, snow and ice. If you need to
fill your fuel tank with a portable fuel container, use the fuel funnel which is located inside the
rear passenger side cargo compartment access door. Slowly insert the funnel into the Easy Fuel™
system and fill the tank with fuel from the container. When done, clean the funnel or properly
dispose of it. Extra funnels can be purchased from your authorized dealer. Do not use aftermarket
funnels as they will not work with the Easy Fuel™ system and may cause damage.
Fuel Type and Tank Capacity: Your fuel tank capacity is 16.5 gallons (62.5L). Your vehicle is
designed to use “Regular” unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87. Do not use gasoline labeled
as “Regular” in high altitude areas that are sold with octane ratings less than 87. Do not use E85 fuels
that are blended with a maximum of 85% ethanol.
S.O.S. Post Crash Alert System: Your vehicle is equipped with the S.O.S. Post Crash Alert system. This
system provides audible and visual alarms in the event of a crash which causes the deployment of
airbags or the activation of the safety belt pretensioners. The turn signals will flash and the horn will
sound. To deactivate the system, press the hazard flasher control
or you can press the button on your
remote transmitter.
Roadside Assistance: Your new Mercury Mariner comes with the assurance and support of 24-hour emergency
roadside assistance. Roadside assistance includes such services as: lockout assistance, limited fuel delivery,
battery jump starts, changing a flat tire, towing, and winch out. To receive roadside assistance in the United
States, call 1 (800) 241-3673. In Canada, call 1 (800) 665-2006. For more information on coverage period and
details of service, refer to your roadside assistance information.
