following section on Warnings for
a full explanation of warnings.
indicates that vehicle
information related to recycling
and other environmental concerns
will follow.
Warnings
Warnings remind you to be
especially careful in those areas
where carelessness can cause
damage to your vehicle or personal
injury to yourself, your passengers
or other people. Please read all
Warnings carefully.
Notice to owners of utility-type
vehicles
As with other vehicles of this type,
failure to operate this vehicle
correctly may result in loss of
control or an accident. Be sure to
read Special driving instructions
for AWD vehicles later in this
Owner’s Guide and the special
supplement included with AWD
and 4x4 vehicles entitled
Four-Wheeling.
Four-Wheeling presents safe
driving practices to owners of AWD
and 4x4 utility vehicles. Your AWD
vehicle handles differently than an
ordinary passenger car and has
some special safety considerations.
This is because your AWD vehicle
has several design and equipment
2
differences for towing, hauling, and
off-road operation. For this reason,
Mercury urges you to read and
understand the contents of the
Four-Wheeling supplement.
Breaking in your vehicle
Your new vehicle goes through an
adjustment or breaking-in period
during the first 1,000 miles (1,600
km) of driving. During this period:
• Change your vehicle’s speed
often as you drive. Do not drive
at one speed for a long time.
• Use only the type of engine oil
Ford recommends. Do not use
special “break-in” oils.
• Avoid sudden stops. The
break-in period for brake linings
lasts for 1,600 km (1,000 miles)
of highway driving or 160 km
(100 miles) of city driving.
Information about this guide
This guide describes equipment
and gives specifications for
equipment that was in effect when
this guide was approved for
printing. Mercury may discontinue
models or change specifications or
design without any notice and
without incurring obligation.

Select A/C for air to flow through
these vents:
The A/C mode directs outside air
conditioned air to flow through the
instrument panel vents. The A/C
mode can be used for heating,
ventilating or air conditioning. The
A/C mode only functions if the
outside temperature is above 10°C
(50°F).
Select MAX A/C for air to flow
through these vents:
The MAX A/C mode recirculates
the air and directs it to flow
through the instrument panel
vents. The MAX A/C mode can be
used for air conditioning or
heating. This mode is noisier but
more economical than A/C mode.
The MAX A/C mode only functions
if the outside temperature is above
10°C (50°F).
Select the OFF position for all
climate control functions to cease.
The outside inlet door will close
and the fan is shut off.
Drive with the climate control
system on (in either the heating or
air conditioning mode) to reduce
humidity in your vehicle.
