CONGRATULATIONS

Congratulations on acquiring your new Mercury Mariner Hybrid. Please take the time to get well acquainted with your vehicle by reading this handbook. The more you know and understand about your vehicle, the greater the safety and pleasure you will derive from driving it.

For more information on Ford Motor Company and its products visit the following website:

• In the United States: www.ford.com

• In Canada: www.ford.ca

Additional owner information is given in separate publications. This Owner’s Guide describes every option and model variant available

and therefore some of the items covered may not apply to your particular vehicle. Furthermore, due to printing cycles it may describe options before they are generally available.

Remember to pass on this Owner’s Guide when reselling the vehicle. It is an integral part of the vehicle.

Fuel pump and high voltage battery shut-off switches: In

the event of an accident the fuel pump shut-off switch may automatically cut off the fuel supply to the engine and the high voltage shut-off switch cuts off power from the high voltage battery. These switches can also be activated through sudden vibration (e.g. collision when parking). For information on resetting the fuel pump shut-off switch and the high voltage battery shutoff switch, refer to the Fuel pump/high voltage shut-off switches in the Roadside Emergencies chapter.

Introduction

SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION

Warning symbols in this guide

How can you reduce the risk of personal injury to yourself or others? In this guide, answers to such questions are contained in comments highlighted by the warning triangle symbol. These comments should be read and observed.

Warning symbols on your vehicle

When you see this symbol, it is imperative that you consult the relevant section of this guide before touching or attempting adjustment of any kind.

Protecting the environment

We must all play our part in protecting the environment. Correct vehicle usage and the authorized disposal of waste, cleaning and lubrication materials are significant steps towards this aim. Information in this respect is highlighted in this guide with the tree symbol.

BREAKING-IN YOUR VEHICLE

Your vehicle does not need an extensive break-in. Try not to drive continuously at the same speed for the first 1,000 miles (1,600 km) of new vehicle operation. Vary your speed frequently in order to give the moving parts a chance to break in.

Drive your new vehicle at least 500 miles (800 km) before towing a trailer. For more detailed information about towing a trailer, refer to Trailer towing in the Tires, Wheels and Loading chapter.

Do not add friction modifier compounds or special break-in oils during the first few thousand miles (kilometers) of operation, since these additives may prevent piston ring seating. See Engine oil in the Maintenance and Specifications chapter for more information on oil usage.

NORMAL VEHICLE OPERATION

Your Mariner Hybrid has unique qualities which cause it to operate differently than a typical vehicle.

2006 Mariner Hybrid (mhv) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)

Page 6

Introduction

Starting the vehicle

• The engine will start and run when you first turn the ignition key to the start position.

• The engine cannot be started in the N (Neutral) position.

• Depending upon temperature and the high voltage battery’s state of

charge, the engine may shut off shortly after starting the vehicle; this is a normal condition and you do not need to restart the vehicle. The Ready Indicator Light in the instrument cluster will illuminate to indicate the vehicle is running. For more Ready Indicator Light information, refer to Warning lights and chimes in the Instrument Cluster chapter.

DRIVING THE VEHICLE

Starting Out:

Under normal operation with the vehicle at operating temperature, the engine will start automatically as you accelerate. Sometimes the engine will start immediately as you begin moving, while other times the vehicle will obtain a speed of up to 25 mph (40 km/h) before the engine starts. You may hear and feel the engine starting as you transition from electrical to hybrid (gas engine on) operation. This is a normal condition.

These are some of the conditions that may cause engine start-up:

• High voltage battery re-charge is required.

• Driver acceleration demands exceed electric motor capability.

• Outside air temperature is overly hot or cold.

• Certain climate system modes of operation.

• If you are starting up hill or accelerating quickly, the engine will start

immediately as operating conditions require additional power.

Note: If the high voltage battery is very cold or very hot, the engine may operate more than under normal conditions, and vehicle performance may be temporarily reduced. This is a normal condition.

Transmission operation

• Your vehicle does not shift like a conventional vehicle. You may feel transitions between the various operating modes of the hybrid system, but no actual shifting occurs. For more information about transmission operation, refer to Understanding the gearshift positions of the

electronically-controlled Continuously Variable Transaxle (eCVT)

in the Driving chapter.

2006 Mariner Hybrid (mhv) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)

Introduction

Stopping the vehicle

• The vehicle’s engine may shut off as you come to a stop; this is a normal condition and helps to conserve fuel. You do not need to restart the vehicle.

Neutral operation

• The vehicle does not charge the high voltage battery in the N (Neutral) position. Do not idle the vehicle in N (Neutral) for extended periods as this will discharge the high voltage battery.

Low gear operation

• In L (Low) gear, you may feel an increased sensation of engine braking as you remove your foot from the accelerator. L (Low) gear can be helpful when driving down an incline; unlike in a conventional vehicle, L (Low) does not offer an advantage over D (Drive) in uphill or off-road driving conditions.

Reverse operation

• Vehicle speed is limited to 22 mph (35 km/h) while operating in R (Reverse) gear.

MARINER HYBRID UNIQUE OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS

• You may hear some unique sounds from a hybrid vehicle. The Mariner Hybrid is equipped with a high voltage battery air conditioning system in the rear of the vehicle which cools the high voltage battery in order to ensure high voltage battery life and optimize performance. You may hear a slight clunk or tap noise as the vent door operates, as well as a fan noise in the rear of the vehicle; this noise is the high voltage battery cooling fan. The high voltage battery cooling may also continue to operate for short durations after the vehicle has been turned off. These vehicle conditions and noises are normal and do not require service.

• You may hear a pumping sound when you enter the vehicle or a venting sound a few minutes after parking the vehicle. This is due to charging and discharging of the hydraulic portion of the regenerative braking system.

• You may hear a slight whine or whistle when operating your vehicle. This noise could occur at idle, and during cruising and accelerating; it is caused by the normal operation of electrical generator in the hybrid system.

2006 Mariner Hybrid (mhv) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)

Page 8

Introduction

• The Mariner Hybrid’s hydraulic brake system used for regenerative braking is different from other vehicles. The noise from the ABS pump motor and the brake pedal pulsation are much less than on vehicles with conventional ABS. Noise and pedal pulsation during ABS may not be noticed. For more information about braking, refer to Braking in the Driving chapter.

• The engine speed in an Mariner Hybrid is not directly tied to the vehicle speed. Under certain conditions, the engine speed may appear much higher than that of a conventional automobile. This is a normal condition and is caused by engine speed optimization to maximize fuel economy.

• During certain events (such as vehicle servicing) your low voltage (underhood) battery may become disconnected or disabled. When this occurs, and after reconnecting the low voltage (underhood) battery and driving the vehicle, the engine may continue to operate for 3-5 seconds after the key is turned to the 1 (LOCK) position. This is a normal condition, as the vehicle’s computers are relearning the operating characteristics of your particular engine in order to operate it at maximum efficiency.

• The high voltage battery may go through a self-reconditioning process from time to time; these events optimize high voltage battery performance. You may notice slight changes to driveability during the reconditioning process. This is a normal condition.

• If the vehicle is left inoperative for over 31 days, it may be necessary to jumpstart the vehicle. For more information, refer to Jump starting your vehicle (Low voltage [underhood] battery only) in the Roadside Emergencies chapter.

DRIVING TO OPTIMIZE FUEL ECONOMY

Fuel economy can be significantly impacted by your driving habits and accessory usage. To optimize the fuel economy in your vehicle, please be aware of the following vehicle functions which affect fuel economy:

A/C operation

• With the climate control system set to MAX A/C, defrost, or defrost/floor mode (the orange graphics on your climate control), the engine will typically run continuously, reducing fuel economy. Setting the climate control system to A/C mode or A/C

reduces fuel economy, but in this case the A/C only operates when the engine is already running due to other demands. Because the engine does not run continuously, A/C and A/C efficient than MAX A/C mode.

mode are more fuel

mode also

2006 Mariner Hybrid (mhv) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)

Page 9

Introduction

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 to Essentials of good fuel economy in the Maintenance and Specifications chapter.

Energy Flow Screen

Your Vehicle Navigation System is equipped with an Energy Flow Screen. This screen provides a graphical representation of how power is transferred in the Hybrid system to either accelerate the vehicle, or re-charge the battery. The screen also provides you with titles to describe the mode which is currently active in the Hybrid system. These screens are informational and do not require any input from you. Note that due to the one second screen updates and the simplification of the graphics, the display may not show the actual vehicle status.

To view the Energy Flow Screen, press the battery icon. While the display is activated, the audio will continue to play.

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 HV electric system, or how much power is being used by the HV electric system to control/start the engine.

2006 Mariner Hybrid (mhv) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)

Page 42

Entertainment Systems

4. HV Battery: This icon represents your High Voltage Battery. The fill

level (shown in green), represents the state of charge of the HV Battery and will go up and down as the battery charges/discharges during normal operation.

5. Battery Power: This line represents how much power the HV battery

is providing to accelerate the vehicle (discharging), or how much power is being delivered back through the motor to the battery (charging).

6. Electric Motor: This icon represents the Hybrid Electric Motor. This

symbol will be highlighted in orange after the vehicle has been started and will remain highlighted until key off to indicate that the vehicle is ready to be driven.

7. Motor Power: This line represents how much power the electric

motor is delivering to the wheels (acceleration), or how much power is being delivered back through the motor to charge the battery (deceleration/braking.)

Note: The power arrows may point in different directions, indicating which way the power is flowing. The arrows may also vary in width to indicate the different levels of power being provided to that component.

The energy flow screens contain a title to indicate what mode the Hybrid system is in.

The vehicle is being powered by both the electric motor and the engine.

The vehicle is either at rest, or is sharing very little power between the Hybrid parts. This can occur at higher speeds if the vehicle is not speeding up or slowing down.

The vehicle is driving in electric mode. (Power is coming from the electric motors and not the engine).

Fuel economy screen

Your Vehicle Navigation Radio is equipped with a fuel economy screen. To view, press the fuel icon control. This screen displays three pieces of information:

• Instantaneous Fuel Economy (IFE): The IFE is displayed on

the vertical bar on the left of the screen ranging from 0 mpg up to MAX, which indicates excellent fuel economy. Your vehicle must be moving to calculate instantaneous fuel economy. When the vehicle is not moving, the IFE function will display no bar on the IFE graph indicating 0 mpg. Conversely, if you are driving in electric mode (Engine off), this function will display MAX. IFE cannot be reset.

2006 Mariner Hybrid (mhv) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)

Page 45

Entertainment Systems

• Average Fuel Economy (AFE): The AFE is displayed on the white bar across the graph. The AFE will be retained when the key is turned OFF, and will continue averaging when driving resumes. Pressing RESET will reset the AFE 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 average fuel economy bar 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/100KM. In Consumption (L/100KM) mode, the IFE function will display MAX until the vehicle is moving. For more information on Average Fuel Economy, refer to Message center in the Driver Controls chapter.

AM/FM select in radio mode

This control allows you to select AM or FM frequency bands. Press the control to switch between AM, FM1 or FM2 memory preset stations.

AM/FM select in CD mode

Press to stop CD play and begin radio play.

Radio reception factors:

• Distance/strength. The further an FM signal travels, the weaker it is. The listenable range of the average FM station is approximately 40 km (24 miles). This range can be affected by “signal modulation.” Signal modulation is a process radio stations use to increase their strength/volume relative to other stations.

• Terrain. Hills, mountains and tall buildings between your vehicle’s antenna and the radio station signal can cause FM reception problems. Static can be caused on AM stations by power lines, electric fences, traffic lights and thunderstorms. Moving away from an interfering structure (out of its “shadow”) returns your reception to normal.

2006 Mariner Hybrid (mhv) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)

Principles of GPS (Global Positioning System) operation

Your Vehicle Navigation System directs you based on information derived from satellites, road maps stored on the CD, sensors in your vehicle and the desired destination. The system compiles all necessary information to guide you to your selected destination. Space satellites determine the vehicle’s current location and transmit position and time signals to your car.

If the vehicle has been parked for a long period of time, the navigation function may be temporarily unresponsive. The navigation system will operate reliably again once GPS reception is available in a few minutes.

Limited GPS reception

System performance may be adversely affected if GPS reception is interrupted or interference occurs over a distance of several miles. The following are possible causes for GPS reception being interrupted. If the vehicle is:

• in multi-story parking garages

• in tunnels and under bridges

• in between high buildings

• by forests or tree-lined avenues

• in heavy rain showers and thunderstorms

• in valleys and in mountainous regions

The GPS signal strength may vary. The directional heading indicator at the bottom of the screen might change color to indicate this signal strength. The colors are as follows:

• Green — A clear GPS signal is being received.

• Yellow — The GPS signal is partially blocked.

• Red — The GPS signal is unavailable and may be temporarily blocked.

Note: After an ignition cycle, the system must connect to a satellite signal to get the time for the display.
