described in your Owner’s Guide. Your vehicle comes with this feature enabled. You can

Reverse Sensing System (if equipped) The Reverse Sensing System (RSS) sounds a
tone to warn the driver of obstacles near the rear bumper when R (Reverse) is selected and
the vehicle is moving at speeds less than 3 mph (5 km/h). The system is not effective at
speeds above 3 mph (5 km/h) and may not detect certain angular or moving objects. The
RSS detects obstacles up to 6 feet (2 meters) from the rear bumper with a decrease
coverage area at the outer corners of the bumper. When the obstacle is less than 10 inches
away, the tone will sound continuously.

Essential Information
Location of Spare Tire and Tools Your vehicle is equipped with a temporary spare tire which
is smaller than a regular tire and designed for emergency use only. The jack, spare tire, jack handle and
lug nut wrench are under the cargo cover in the trunk of the vehicle.
Fuses If your electrical components are not working properly, a fuse may have blown. For more
information, please consult your Owner’s Guide.
Fuel Pump Shut-off Switch This device stops the electric fuel pump from sending fuel to the
engine when your vehicle has had a substantial jolt. After an accident, if the engine cranks but does
not start, this switch may have been activated. The fuel pump shut-off switch is located in the front
passenger footwell area in the right upper corner.
Unleaded Fuel Recommendations For optimum performance use “Regular” unleaded fuel
with a pump (R+M)/2 octane rating of at least 87. We do not recommend the use of gasolines labeled
as “Regular” with octane ratings of 86 or lower that are sold in high altitude areas.
Tire Pressure Safe operation of your Sable requires that your tires be properly inflated. The Mercury
recommended inflation pressure is found on the Tire Label or the Safety Compliance Certification Label
located near the front door latch on 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 digital or dial-type tire gauge. Don’t forget
the spare. Air pressure should be checked when the tires are cold. Inflate all tires to the inflation
pressure recommended by Ford Motor Company. As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been
equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure warning
light when one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated.
Roadside Assistance In addition to your New Vehicle Limited Warranty, Mercury provides new
vehicle owners with a complimentary roadside assistance program. It covers changing a flat tire, jump
starts, limited fuel delivery, lock-out assistance, winch out and towing of your vehicle.

Rear Window Buffeting When one or both of your rear windows are fully open, you may
experience a wind throb or buffeting noise. This is common among all vehicles and can be eliminated
simply by lowering a front window two to three inches.
Safety Please wear your safety restraints, pay attention to changing road conditions and drive safely.
For more safety related information, please consult your Owner’s Guide.
