Fold-Away Mirrors
Pull the side mirrors in carefully when driving through a narrow space, like an automatic car wash.
Aluminum Wheel Care
Marauder’s polished, forged aluminum wheel rims are coated with a clear coat finish. To maintain their shine, clean them with Detail Wash, which is available from your Mercury dealer.

Press the left side of the window lock to prevent passengers from lowering power windows; press the right side to restore use of the controls.
Adjustable Pedals
Your accelerator and brake pedals can be adjusted within 2.5” of original placement to provide you with an extra measure of driving confidence. Stop your vehicle, put the gearshift lever in P (Park) and press the rocker control to adjust the pedals toward you or away from you; adjust until you find the position that offers the greatest comfort and control.

Location of the Spare Tire and Jack
The full size spare tire is located in your trunk, in the area below the rear window. The jack can be found in a bag under or behind the spare tire.
Fuses
If electrical components in your vehicle are not working, a fuse may have blown. Blown fuses are identified by a broken wire within the fuse. To learn about changing fuses, please consult your Owner’s Guide.
Fuel Pump Shut-Off Switch
If you’re involved in a collision, your engine may crank but not start. That means the fuel shut-off switch may have been activated. You’ll find the switch on the left side of the trunk behind the left rear taillight and the trunk liner. For information on resetting, please see your Owner’s Guide.
Unleaded Fuel Recommendations
Use “Premium” unleaded gasoline with an (R+M)/2 octane rating of 91.
Tire Pressure
Adjust the tire pressure to the recommended specifications found on the certification label and inside the fuel door. 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.
Tire Rotation
Since Marauder’s rear tires are larger than the front tires, rotations must be specific to each axle. In other words, the front tires are interchangeable only with the front tires and the rear tires are interchangeable only with the rear tires.
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, flat 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.

Big, powerful and aggressive –
the Mercury Marauder was designed for the
individual who doesn’t follow the crowd.
It was created for the enthusiast who demands
the performance of an
exhilarating all-
aluminum 4.6L DOHC 32-valve V8, someone who
knows how to handle 302 horses and 318 ft. lbs.
of torque, someone who can appreciate the
satin aluminum instrument cluster and racing-
style instrumentation, someone who refuses to
sacrifice five-passenger luxury, comfort and
convenience.
Someone who wants it all.
Congratulations on your choice. There’s a lot to
learn about your new Marauder. Since we
understand you’re anxious to enjoy your vehicle
first-hand, we’ve provided you with this handy
quick reference. It will briefly guide you through
the basics of your vehicle’s most-used features.
When you have more time, we ask that you see
your Owner’s Guide for detailed information.
“It was designed for someone like you.”
Headlamp Controls
Headlamps: The first position clockwise will illuminate the
parking lamps; the second position will illuminate the
headlamps.
Autolamps: Turn the control counterclockwise to have the
light-
sensitive system automatically control your headlamps.
Foglamps:
Pull the headlamp control toward you to turn them on. (Foglamps can be used with the headlamp control in the parking lamp, low beam or autolamp positions.)
Dimmer: To adjust the brightness of your instrument panel, rotate the dimmer
control to the left or right.
Windshield Wiper/Washer Controls
Rotate the windshield wiper control upward or downward to determine your desired interval, in low or high-speed position. The bars of varying length control your intermittent wipers. When in intermittent position, rotate the control upward for fast intervals, downward for slow intervals. Push the end of the stalk to activate the washer. For a longer wash cycle, push and hold.
Turn Signal and High Beams Controls
Push the stalk down to activate your left turn signal, up to activate the right turn signal. To use your high beams, push the turn signal stalk forward; pull toward you to deactivate.
Speed Control
To engage your speed control, make sure you’re traveling at or above 30 mph and press ON. To set a speed press SET ACCEL. To set a higher speed, press and hold SET ACCEL; release when you’ve reached the desired speed. To set a decreased speed, press and hold COAST; release when you’ve slowed to the desired speed. To return to a previously set speed, press RESUME (you must be traveling above 30 mph). To disengage, depress the brake pedal or press OFF
.
Check Engine Warning Light
This light will inform you if there is a problem with your engine. It’s normal for the light to illuminate briefly when you start your engine. If the light stays on or blinks, there could be a problem. Have your vehicle serviced as soon as possible.
Anti-Lock Brakes
“ABS” provides enhanced security by detecting wheel lockup in hard braking situations. The light will illuminate momentarily when you start your engine; however if it fails to illuminate, stays on or continues to flash, see your dealership’s service
department
immediately.
Clock Controls
Your vehicle is equipped with a separate instrument panel
mounted clock. Press H to set the hour, M to set the minutes.

Overdrive / Drive
Overdrive: The normal driving position for the best fuel
economy is Overdrive with this automatic transmission. It will increase your fuel economy when cruising at a constant speed for an extended period of time.
Drive: On the other hand, Drive provides
more engine braking than Overdrive and is useful when driving with a heavy load, towing a trailer up or down steep hills, or any time you want additional engine braking. To activate Drive, press the control switch on the gearshift lever with the gearshift in the Drive position. Your transmission will operate in gears one through three. To return to Overdrive, press the transmission control switch. The O/D OFF indicator will no longer be illuminated.
Voltmeter Gauge
This gauge measures your vehicle’s battery charging voltage. If it consistently indicates less than 13.0 volts or more than
15.0 volts
during normal operation, have your vehicle’s electrical
system checked.
Engine Oil Pressure Gauge
This gauge indicates your Marauder’s oil pressure levels. If the indicator drops below the normal operating range or the minimum low pressure when your engine is running, shut off the engine and check the oil level. Add oil if necessary. Don’t operate your vehicle with the
oil level below normal ranges (40-60 psi) or your engine may be severely damaged.
