Big, powerful and aggressive –
the Mercury Marauder was designed for the
individual who doesn’t follow the crowd.
It was created for the enthusiast who demands
the performance of an
exhilarating all-
aluminum 4.6L DOHC 32-valve V8, someone who
knows how to handle 302 horses and 318 ft. lbs.
of torque, someone who can appreciate the
satin aluminum instrument cluster and racing-
style instrumentation, someone who refuses to
sacrifice five-passenger luxury, comfort and
convenience.
Someone who wants it all.
Congratulations on your choice. There’s a lot to
learn about your new Marauder. Since we
understand you’re anxious to enjoy your vehicle
first-hand, we’ve provided you with this handy
quick reference. It will briefly guide you through
the basics of your vehicle’s most-used features.
When you have more time, we ask that you see
your Owner’s Guide for detailed information.
“It was designed for someone like you.”
Headlamp Controls
Headlamps: The first position clockwise will illuminate the
parking lamps; the second position will illuminate the
headlamps.
Autolamps: Turn the control counterclockwise to have the
light-
sensitive system automatically control your headlamps.
Foglamps:
Pull the headlamp control toward you to turn them on. (Foglamps
can be used with the headlamp control in the parking lamp, low beam or autolamp
positions.)
Dimmer: To adjust the brightness of your instrument panel, rotate the dimmer
control to the left or right.
Windshield Wiper/Washer Controls
Rotate the windshield wiper control upward or downward to
determine your desired interval, in low or high-speed position. The
bars of varying length control your intermittent wipers. When in
intermittent position, rotate the control upward for fast intervals,
downward for slow intervals. Push the end of the stalk to activate the
washer. For a longer wash cycle, push and hold.
Turn Signal and High Beams Controls
Push the stalk down to activate your left turn signal, up to
activate the right turn signal. To use your high beams, push the turn
signal stalk forward; pull toward you to deactivate.
Speed Control
To engage your speed control, make sure you’re traveling at or
above 30 mph and press ON. To set a speed press SET ACCEL. To set
a higher speed, press and hold SET ACCEL; release when you’ve
reached the desired speed. To set a decreased speed, press and hold
COAST; release when you’ve slowed to the desired speed. To return to
a previously set speed, press RESUME (you must be traveling above 30 mph). To disengage,
depress the brake pedal or press OFF
.
Check Engine Warning Light
This light will inform you if there is a problem with your engine.
It’s normal for the light to illuminate briefly when you start your
engine. If the light stays on or blinks, there could be a problem. Have
your vehicle serviced as soon as possible.
Anti-Lock Brakes
“ABS” provides enhanced security by detecting wheel lockup in
hard braking situations. The light will illuminate momentarily when
you start your engine; however if it fails to illuminate, stays on
or continues to flash, see your dealership’s service
department
immediately.
Clock Controls
Your vehicle is equipped with a separate instrument panel
mounted clock. Press H to set the hour, M to set the minutes.
Steering Wheel Radio & Climate Controls
Radio Control Features: Press VOL up or down to adjust the
volume. Press MODE to select AM, FM1, FM2, TAPE or CD. In radio
mode, press NEXT to select a preset station from memory. In tape or
CD mode, press NEXT to listen to the next selection or track.
Climate
Control Features:
Press TEMP up or down to adjust the temperature,
press FAN up or down to adjust fan speed.
Rear Window Defroster
Push to clear the rear window of thin ice and fog. The defroster
turns off automatically after 10 minutes, or when the ignition is
turned off.
Overdrive / Drive
Overdrive: The normal driving position for the best fuel
economy is Overdrive with this automatic transmission. It will
increase your fuel economy when cruising at a constant speed for an
extended period of time.
Drive: On the other hand, Drive provides
more engine braking than Overdrive and is useful when driving with a heavy load, towing
a trailer up or down steep hills, or any time you want additional engine braking. To activate
Drive, press the control switch on the gearshift lever with the gearshift in the Drive
position. Your transmission will operate in gears one through three. To return to Overdrive,
press the transmission control switch. The O/D OFF indicator will no longer be illuminated.
Voltmeter Gauge
This gauge measures your vehicle’s battery charging voltage.
If it consistently indicates less than 13.0 volts or more than
15.0 volts
during normal operation, have your vehicle’s electrical
system checked.
Engine Oil Pressure Gauge
This gauge indicates your Marauder’s oil pressure levels. If the
indicator drops below the normal operating range or the minimum
low pressure when your engine is running, shut off the engine and
check the oil level. Add oil if necessary. Don’t operate your vehicle
with the
oil level below normal ranges (40-60 psi) or your engine may be severely damaged.
