vehicle specification at any time. Your Mercury
dealer is the best source for the most current
information.
For detailed operating and safety
information,
please consult your Owner’s Guide.
Remote Entry System
The remote entry system allows you to lock or unlock
all vehicle doors without a key.
Unlocking the Doors
Press this control to unlock the driver’s door.
The interior and exterior lamps will illuminate
with the ignition OFF. Press the control a second
time within three seconds to unlock all doors.
Locking the Doors
Press this control to lock all doors. The horn
will chirp and the parking lamps and tail lamps
will flash to confirm the control was pressed.
Opening the Trunk
Press this control once to open the trunk.
Sounding the Panic Alarm
The panic feature operates with the key in the OFF
position. Press this control to activate the alarm. To
deactivate the alarm, press the control again, or turn the
ignition to ACC or ON.
Exterior Mirrors
Power Side View Mirrors
To adjust these mirrors, select the left arrow to adjust the left
mirror, the right arrow to adjust the right mirror. Move the
control in the direction you’d like to adjust the mirror. Return
to the center position to lock the mirrors in place.
Heated Mirrors
These mirrors warm up to remove ice, mist and fog when the
rear window defrost is activated; attempting to remove ice from
these mirrors by hand can damage the glass.
Fold-Away Mirrors
Pull the side mirrors in carefully when driving through a
narrow space, like an automatic car wash.
Aluminum Wheel Care
Marauder’s polished, forged aluminum wheel rims are coated
with a clear coat finish. To maintain their shine, clean them with
Detail Wash, which is available from your Mercury dealer.
Simply press AUTOMATIC and
use the temperature controls to
select the temperature you prefer. This
system will then heat or cool to achieve
that temperature, determining fan
speed and airflow location.
Press OFF to end Auto operation.
Press the blue button for cooler air.
Press OUTSIDE TEMP to display
the outside temperature.
How to Override Automatic Operation
The manual override controls
will allow
you to personally select airflow
locations
and fan speed. To return to
automatic
control, press AUTOMATIC.
Choosing the MAX A/C manual
override control will distribute
recirculated air through the instrument
panel registers. MAX A/C is noisier
than normal A/C, but more economical
and efficient.
Choosing the NORM A/C manual
override control will distribute
outside air through the instrument
panel registers. It will only function if
the outside temperature is above 43
degrees F. Normal A/C is more quiet
than MAX A/C, but not as economical
or efficient. NORM A/C should be used
to defog windows.
Press the VENT manual override
control to distribute the
outside air
through the instrument
panel registers.
Press the FLOOR manual override
control to distribute air through the
floor ducts.
Press the FLR•DEF
(defrost)
manual override control to distribute
outside air
through the windshield
defroster ducts, the floor ducts and
the side window demisters.
Press DEF (defrost) to distribute
air through the windshield
defroster ducts and side window
demisters. The A/C compressor will
operate automatically to clear ice and
fog from the windshield.
Fan speed will remain in automatic
operation unless the fan speed
thumbwheel is turned or the steering
wheel fan speed control is pressed.
Press the red button for warmer air.
To return to automatic control, press
AUTOMATIC.
See your Owner’s Guide for more
information on climate control.
Power Windows
Press the bottom portion of the switch to lower, the upper portion
to raise. To use the driver’s window express down feature, press
the bottom portion and release quickly; the window will open
fully. Depress again to stop window operation. The window lock
feature allows only the driver to operate the power windows.
Press the left side of the window lock to prevent passengers from
lowering power windows; press the right side to restore use of the controls.
Adjustable Pedals
Your accelerator and brake pedals can be adjusted within 2.5”
of original placement to provide you with an extra measure of
driving confidence. Stop your vehicle, put the gearshift lever in
P (Park) and press the rocker control to adjust the pedals
toward you or away from you; adjust until you find the
position that offers the greatest comfort and control.
Hood Release
The hood release handle is located below the instrument panel.
Pull the handle toward you to release. From the front of your
vehicle, release the auxiliary latch under the front center of the
hood and lift until the lift cylinders hold it open.
Trunk Release / Fuel Door
Your trunk release is located on the trim panel of the driver’s
door; press the control to open the trunk. To open your fuel
door,
press the fuel door control (located directly behind the
trunk release).
Electronic Compass
Located in the overhead console, this compass may be affected
when you drive near large buildings, bridges, power lines and
powerful broadcast antenna. To make compass adjustments,
please see your Owner’s Guide.
Power Seats
The power seat controls are located in the trim panel of each
front door. Press the top of the control to recline the seat back
forward or backward. Slide the lower control to move the seat
forward or backward. Press either end of the same control to
move the seat cushion up or down. The lumbar controls are
located on the inboard side of the front seat cushion.

Location of the Spare Tire and Jack
The full size spare tire is located in your trunk, in the area below the rear window.
The jack can be found in a bag under or behind the spare tire.
Fuses
If electrical components in your vehicle are not working, a fuse may have blown.
Blown fuses are identified by a broken wire within the fuse. To learn about changing
fuses, please consult your Owner’s Guide.
Fuel Pump Shut-Off Switch
If you’re involved in a collision, your engine may crank but not start. That means
the fuel shut-off switch may have been activated. You’ll find the switch on the left
side of the trunk behind the left rear taillight and the trunk liner. For information
on resetting, please see your Owner’s Guide.
Unleaded Fuel Recommendations
Use “Premium” unleaded gasoline with an (R+M)/2 octane rating of 91.
Tire Pressure
Adjust the tire pressure to the recommended specifications found on the
certification label and inside the fuel door. When checking pressure, use an accurate
tire pressure gauge. Check tire pressure when the tires are cold, after the vehicle
has been parked for at least one hour or has been driven less than 3 miles. Warning:
Improperly inflated tires can affect vehicle handling and can fail suddenly, possibly
resulting in loss of vehicle control.
Tire Rotation
Since Marauder’s rear tires are larger than the front tires, rotations must be specific
to each axle. In other words, the front tires are interchangeable only with the front
tires and the rear tires are interchangeable only with the rear tires.
Roadside Assistance
During your vehicle’s 3-year/36,000-mile limited warranty period, every new
Mercury vehicle includes the assurance and support of a 24-hour emergency
Roadside Assistance program. Roadside Assistance includes such services as fuel
delivery, flat tire changes, jump starts, and help when you are locked out of
your vehicle.
Please complete your Roadside Assistance Identification Card and keep it in your
wallet for quick reference. This card can be found in your glove compartment, in
your Mercury Owner's Guide portfolio.
