information, please refer to  

the SYNC

®

 Supplement or 

to the SYNC

®

 section in the

Please feel free to visit  

www.SyncMyRide.com.

INTEGRATED BLIND  

SPOT MIRRORS   

Your outside mirrors have  

an integrated convex mirror  

in the upper corner. This  

increases visibility alongside  

the vehicle; thereby helping  

you see a vehicle which may  

be in your blind spot. As the  

vehicle approaches, its image  

will transition from the main  

mirror to the blind spot mirror  

in the upper corner. Refer  

to your Owner’s Guide for  

more information.

REARVIEW CAMERA    

(if equipped)

This system provides a visual 

display of the area behind the  

vehicle. The display automatically  

appears in the rearview mirror 

or the navigation screen (if 

equipped) when the vehicle is 

in R (Reverse) and uses colors 

(green, yellow and red) to alert 

you of your proximity to objects. 

Note:

 Visibility aids do not 

replace the need to watch  

where the vehicle is moving.  

Refer to your Owner’s Guide for 

safety information, more detail 

and limitations. 

Improved Fuel Economy While 

Coasting or Decelerating:

 

 

Your vehicle has been designed 

to improve fuel economy by 

reducing fuel usage during 

coasting or while decelerating. 

This may be perceived as a light 

to medium braking sensation 

when removing your foot from 

the accelerator pedal.

ADDITIONAL

FEATURES

ESSENTIAL

INFORMA

TION

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 you find that 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’s footwell, behind a flip-up cover, by the kick panel 

access cover.

Location of Spare Tire:

 Your vehicle is equipped with a temporary 

spare tire located under the vehicle, just forward of the rear bumper. 

The temporary spare tire is designed for emergency use only and 

should be replaced as soon as possible. The jack and tools are located 

under the carpeted floor panel in the rear cargo area. For complete 

details on how to change your tire, refer to the Roadside Emergencies 

chapter in your Owner’s Guide.

Tire Pressure:

 Your tire pressure is properly set at the dealership according 

to the recommended specifications found on the Safety Compliance 

Certification Label or Tire Label located on the B-Pillar or the edge of the 

driver’s door. Check your tire pressure at least once a month and before long 

trips (including spare). 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 

 in the message center when one or more of your 

tires is significantly under-inflated. Improperly inflated tires can affect vehicle 

handling and can fail suddenly, possibly resulting in loss of vehicle control. Refer to 

the Tires, Wheels and Loading chapter in your Owner’s Guide for more details and 

safety information. 

Easy Fuel™ Fuel System:

 Your vehicle has a ‘no cap’ fuel system which allows you to simply 

open the fuel filler door, insert the nozzle and start fueling. Wait about five seconds before 

pulling the nozzle out in order to allow any residual fuel to drain into the tank. The Easy 

Fuel

 system is self-sealing and therefore protected against dust, dirt, water, snow and 

ice. If you need to fill your fuel tank with a portable fuel container, use the fuel funnel which 

is located inside the rear passenger side cargo compartment access door. Slowly insert the 

funnel into the Easy Fuel

 system and fill the tank with fuel from the container. When done, 

clean the funnel or properly dispose of it. Extra funnels can be purchased from your authorized 

dealer. Do not use aftermarket funnels as they will not work with the Easy Fuel™ system and may 

cause damage.

Fuel Tank Capacity/Fuel info:

 

Your vehicle has a fuel tank capacity of 17.5 gallons (66.2L). If 

you have a V6 engine, you have a flex fuel vehicle. Flex fuel vehicles have a yellow ring around the 

top of the fuel filler inlet (tube) and can use either Regular unleaded fuel, E85 Ethanol Fuel or any 

mixture of the two. If you do not have a flex fuel vehicle, then only use “Regular” unleaded gasoline 

with an octane rating of 87. Do not use E85 fuels because your vehicle was not designed to run on 

fuels with more than 10% ethanol.

SOS Post-Crash Alert System

TM

:

 

This system provides audible and visual alarms in the event of a crash 

which causes the deployment of airbags or the activation of the safety belt pretensioners. The turn 

signals will flash and the horn will sound. To deactivate the system, press the hazard flasher control   

or you can press

 

the

 

 

button on your remote transmitter.

Roadside Assistance:

 

Your new Mercury Mariner comes with the assurance and support of 24-hour 

emergency roadside assistance. Roadside assistance includes such services as: lockout assistance, limited 

fuel delivery, battery jump starts, changing a flat tire, towing and winch out. To receive roadside assistance in 

the United States, call 1 (800) 241-3673. In Canada, call 1 (800) 665-2006.

broadcasts provide a 

better sound quality than 

analog broadcasts with 

free, crystal clear audio 

and no static or distortion.
