Use “Regular” unleaded gasoline with an (R+M)/2 octane rating of 87. Mercury does not recommend using “Regular” gasoline with an octane rating of 86 or lower in high altitude areas.
TIRE PRESSURE
Adjust the tire pressure to the specifications on your Certification Label, located near the driver’s side front door latch. When checking pressure, use an accurate tire pressure gauge. Check tire pressure when the tires are cold, after the vehicle has been parked for at least one hour or has been driven less than 3 miles.
Warning: Improperly inflated tires can affect vehicle handling and can fail suddenly, possibly resulting in loss of vehicle control.
CHANGING THE TIRES
Your vehicle is equipped with a spare tire that can be used as a spare or a regular tire. (It’s identical to the other tires on your vehicle, although the wheel won’t match.)
ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE
During your vehicle’s 3-year/36,000-mile limited warranty period, every new Mercury vehicle includes the assurance and support of a 24-hour emergency Roadside Assistance program. Roadside Assistance includes such services as fuel delivery, tire changes, jump starts, and help when you are locked out of your vehicle.
Please complete your Roadside Assistance identification card and keep it in your wallet for quick reference. This card can be found in your glove compartment, in your Mercury Owner’s Guide portfolio.

environment. It comes with many sophisticated features –
you’ll find some are intuitive, others may be new to you.
Take a few minutes to use this Quick Reference Guide with the
accompanying CD-ROM. Insert the CD into any audio CD
player; find the numbered call-outs on the instrument panel
portion of this guide, then select the corresponding number
on the CD audio track for a fast, convenient introduction
to Mountaineer.
For details, place the CD into your computer (the CD jacket will
tell you if your computer meets the minimum configuration
requirements) – or consult your Owner’s Guide.

Interior Features
HEADLAMP CONTROLS
Pull the release lever to release the parking brake. Driving with the parking brake on will cause the brakes to wear out quickly and reduce fuel economy. The parking brake is not recommended to stop a moving vehicle. However, if the normal brakes fail, the parking brake can be used to stop your vehicle in an emergency. Since the parking break applies only the rear brakes, the vehicle’s stopping distance will increase greatly and the handling of your vehicle will be adversely affected.
PARKING BRAKE RELEASE
ABS provides enhanced security by detecting wheel lockup in hard braking situations. The light (located on the lower left of your instrument cluster) will illuminate when you start your engine; however, if it stays on, continues to flash or fails to illuminate, see your dealership’s service department immediately. (Sometimes your wheels may accumulate brake dust. Clean them with Detail Wash, available from your authorized Ford, Lincoln or Mercury dealer.)
ANTI-LOCK BRAKES
Push the stalk down to activate your left turn signal, up to activate the right turn signal. To use your windshield wiper washers: For a single swipe, push the end of the stalk briefly. Push and hold for three swipes with wash. Push and hold for a longer wash (up to ten seconds). The bars of varying length are for intermittent wipers. When in this position rotate the control upward for fast intervals and downward for slow intervals. Rotate the windshield wiper control to choose low or high speed intervals.
TURN SIGNALS AND WINDSHIELD WIPER WASHERS
Make sure you’re traveling at or above 30 mph and press ON. To set a higher speed, press and hold SET + ; release when you’ve reached the desired speed. To set a lower speed, press and hold COAST or CST – ; release when you’ve slowed to the desired speed. To return to a previously set speed, press RES (you must be traveling above 30 mph). To disengage, depress the brake pedal or press the OFF button.

Press and hold the button to reset.
COMPASS
Driving past broadcast antenna, large buildings, bridges, power lines and the like can throw off compass readings. In most cases, the compass will automatically return to normal function within a few days. If it doesn’t, see your Owner’s Guide for instructions on adjusting the system by hand.

This control is located to the lower left of your instrument panel. The first position to your right controls your parking lamps and the second position controls your headlamps. If your vehicle is equipped with fog lights, pull the control switch out one position to aid your visibility in fog, snow or rain. Autolamp (if equipped) automatically activates/deactivates your headlamps as necessary. To use autolamp, rotate the control counter-clockwise; to deactivate, rotate the control clockwise to the OFF position.
