The Mercury Mariner Hybrid
is a whole new kind of SUV
that combines electric and
gasoline propulsion without
compromise, to provide
breakthrough performance
and efficiency. It requires
no special fuels and never
has to be plugged in.
Familiarizing yourself with
these unique characteristics
will help ensure optimal
performance from your
new vehicle.

Starting:
Turn the ignition
key to the STaRT position
while the vehicle is in park
(p). The gas engine will
turn on, accompanied by
the green “ready indicator”
light. Your engine may shut
off shortly after starting,
depending on temperature
and battery charge level.
This is a natural part
of the Mariner Hybrid’s
fuel-saving features. The
“ready indicator” light will
stay on and you do not need
to restart the vehicle. Note:
You may notice higher
engine speeds upon start-up.
This temporary condition
is normal and necessary
to heat up the cabin for
occupant comfort.
Driving: The gas engine
automatically starts and
stops to provide power when
it’s needed and to save fuel
when it’s not. While coasting
at low speeds, coming to a
stop or standing, the engine
normally shuts down and the
vehicle operates in electric-
only mode. Conditions that
cause the engine to start up
or remain running include:
• Driver request for
moderate to rapid
acceleration.
• Vehicle speed above 40
mph (65 km/h).
• ascending a hill.
• ECoN mode not selected
(while the climate control
is on).
• Selection of climate control
defrost mode or defrost /
floor mode.
• Charge level of high voltage
battery is low.
• Very high or low outside
temperature (to provide
system cooling/heating).
Stopping: The gas engine
may shut off as you come
to a stop to conserve fuel.
Restarting the vehicle is not
required. Simply step on the
accelerator when you are
ready to drive.
Transmission operation:
Due to the technologically
advanced, electronically
controlled Continuously
Variable Transaxle (eCVT)
you will not feel shift
changes like those of a
non-hybrid vehicle. Your
Mercury Mariner Hybrid’s
transmission is designed
to do its work seamlessly.
Since your engine speed
is controlled by the
transmission, it may seem
elevated at times. This is
normal hybrid operation and
helps deliver fuel efficiency
and performance.
Neutral: It is not
recommended to idle the
vehicle in (N) Neutral for
extended periods of time
because this will discharge
your high voltage battery
and decrease fuel economy.
also, the engine cannot
provide power to the hybrid
system in N.
low Gear: (l) low gear
is designed to mimic the
enhanced engine braking
available in non-hybrid
vehicles. on long downhill
grades, low gear may result
in high engine speeds to
provide necessary engine
braking. This is normal
and will not damage your
vehicle. Response during
acceleration should be
the same as in the (D)
Drive position.
Reverse: (R) Reverse Gear
vehicle speed is limited to 22
mph (35 km/h).
UNIQUE HYbRID
opERaTING
CHaRaCTERISTICS
Your Mercury Mariner
Hybrid, with its new
technology, behaves
differently compared to
a non-hybrid vehicle. a
description of the major
differences follows:
battery: Your Mercury
Mariner Hybrid is equipped
with a high voltage battery
cooling system in the rear of
the vehicle. a cool battery
ensures battery life and
provides the best possible
performance. Your hybrid
high voltage battery may
periodically recondition
itself to ensure maximum
efficiency. You may notice
slight changes in drivability
during this process, but it’s
an important part of your
Mercury Mariner Hybrid’s
high voltage battery
optimization features. You
may hear a series of clicks
from the cargo area when
you first turn the key in the
ignition. This sound is the
high voltage contactors
closing to allow you to start
your hybrid.
In addition, you may hear
fan noise and a slight
tapping sound from the rear
as the vent door operates.
This fan may continue to
operate for short durations
after the vehicle has been
turned off. These noises are
a customary part of hybrid
operation and do not
require service.
Engine: The engine speed
in your hybrid is not directly
tied to your vehicle speed.
Your vehicle’s engine and
transmission are designed
to deliver the power you
need at the most efficient
engine speed. During heavy
accelerations, your hybrid
may reach high engine
speeds (up to 6000 RpM).
This is a characteristic of
the atkinson cycle engine
technology helping to
maximize your hybrid’s
fuel economy. In prolonged
mountainous driving, you
may also see the engine
tachometer changing
without your input. This is
intentional and maintains
the battery charge level.
You may also notice during
extended downhill driving
that your engine continues
to run instead of shutting off.
During this “engine braking,”
the engine stays on, but it’s
not using any fuel. You may
also hear a slight whine or
whistle when operating your
vehicle. This is the normal
operation of the electric
generator in the
hybrid system.
braking: Your hybrid is
equipped with standard
hydraulic braking and
regenerative braking.
Regenerative braking
is performed by your
transmission and it captures
brake energy and stores it in
the high voltage battery.
You may hear a pumping
sound when you unlock
or enter the vehicle and a
venting sound a few minutes
after shutting off the vehicle.
This is the hydraulic portion
of your regenerative
braking system charging
and discharging.
DRIVING To opTIMIzE
FUEl ECoNoMY
Your fuel economy should
improve throughout your
hybrid’s break-in period.
as with any vehicle, fuel
economy can be significantly
impacted by your driving
habits and accessory usage.
For best results, keep in
mind these tips:
HYBRID OPERATION
Tire Inflation: Keep tires
properly inflated and only
use recommended size.
Climate Control: Your
hybrid is equipped with an
ECoN button that offers
a more fuel-efficient
operation of your automatic
temperature control
system. When activated,
the ECoN feature allows
the engine to shut down at
low speeds or when your
vehicle is stopped. If cooler
temperature is desired, the
ECoN button can be turned
off, for better interior
cooling but lower fuel
economy. ECoN mode
turns itself off when
you select defrost or
defrost/floor mode.
Driver Habits: aggressive
driving increases the
amount of energy
required to move your
vehicle. In general,
better fuel economy is
achieved with mild to
moderate acceleration and
deceleration. Moderate
braking is particularly
important since it allows
you to maximize the
energy captured by the
regenerative braking
system. Note: Having
your engine running is not
always an indication of
inefficiency – in some
cases it is actually more
efficient than driving in
electric mode.
additional Tips:
• Do not carry extra loads.
• be mindful of adding
external accessories
that may increase
aerodynamic drag.
• observe posted speed
limits.
• perform all scheduled
maintenance.
• There is no need to wait
for your engine to “warm
up.” The vehicle is ready
to drive immediately
after starting.

ESSENTIAL INFORMATION
Fuel tank capacity: Your vehicle is equipped with a 15 gallon (56.8l) fuel tank
octane Recommendations: Your vehicle is designed to use “Regular” unleaded
gasoline with a pump octane rating of 87 for optimum performance. Using
gasoline with lower octane ratings may decrease performance.
Tire pressure: Safe operation of your vehicle requires your tires to be
properly inflated. The recommended inflation pressure is found on the
Safety Compliance Certification label or Tire label which is located on the
b-pillar or the edge of the driver’s door. at least once a month and before
long trips, inspect each tire and check the air pressure with a tire gauge.
Don’t forget the spare. air pressure should be checked when the tires are
cold. WaRNING: Improperly inflated tires can affect vehicle handling and
can fail suddenly, resulting in a possible loss of vehicle control.
Unique Service Intervals: please check your owner’s Guide for proper
service intervals. Your vehicle is equipped with a rear air filter that must be
inspected or replaced at every service interval to avoid damage to the hybrid
system. Special caution is required when servicing brake pads. please refer
to the owner’s Guide and/or Service Manual for information on servicing
brake pads.
Fuel pump / High Voltage Shut-off Switches: The fuel pump shut-off switch
is located in the front passenger’s footwell, behind a flip-up cover. The high
voltage shut-off switch is located in the passenger side of the rear cargo
area, in the jack compartment behind the jack access door. These switches
provide added protection by discontinuing fuel to the engine and by shutting
off power to the high voltage battery in case of an accident. For more
information, please see your owner’s Guide.
Rear Window buffeting: When one or both of the rear windows are open,
the vehicle may demonstrate a wind throb or buffeting noise. This noise is
common among a wide range of vehicles and can be eliminated by simply
lowering a front window approximately two to three inches.
location of Spare Tire and Tools: The spare tire is located under the vehicle,
just forward of the rear bumper. The jack and tools are located in the right
rear of the cargo area behind an access panel.
Tire pressure Monitoring System: Using radio-frequency pressure sensors,
this system monitors tire pressure on all road tires and provides the driver
with a yellow warning light when air needs to be added. Message center
equipped vehicles provide additional warning messages. The TpMS warning
light will reset itself (turn off) after the tires are set to specification and
the vehicle is driven above 20 mph (32 km/h) for at least 2 minutes. Note:
outside temperature affects tire pressure. For more information, please see
your owner’s Guide.
Roadside assistance: During your Mercury Mariner Hybrid’s limited warranty
period, the assurance and support of a 24-hour emergency roadside
assistance program is included. Roadside assistance includes such services
as fuel delivery, tire changes, jump starts, winch outs, help when you’re
locked out of your vehicle, and towing. To receive roadside assistance in the
United States, call (800) 241-3673. In Canada (800) 665-2006.
