ECO mode Mercury Marauder 2003 Owner's Manuals

If your changer does not work, it may be that:
²A disc is already loaded where you want to insert a disc.
²The disc is inserted with the label surface downward.
²The disc is dusty or defective.
²The player's internal temperature is above 60ÉC (140ÉF). Allow the
player to cool down before operating.
²A disc with format and dimensions not within industry standards is
inserted.
CLEANING COMPACT DISCS
Inspect all discs for contamination before playing. If necessary, clean
discs only with an approved CD cleaner and wipe from the center out to
the edge. Do not use circular motion.
CD AND CD CHANGER CARE
²Handle discs by their edges only. Never touch the playing surface.
²Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or heat sources for extended
periods of time.
²Do not insert more than one disc into each slot of the CD changer
magazine.
CD units are designed to play commercially pressed 12 cm (4.75
in) audio compact discs only. Due to technical incompatibility,
certain recordable and re-recordable compact discs may not
function correctly when used in Ford CD players. Irregular
shaped CDs, CDs with a scratch protection film attached, and CDs
with homemade paper (adhesive) labels should not be inserted
into the CD player. The label may peel and cause the CD to
become jammed. It is recommended that homemade CDs be
identified with permanent felt tip marker rather than adhesive
labels. Ball point pens may damage CDs. Please contact your
dealer for further information.
CLEANING CASSETTE PLAYER (IF EQUIPPED)
Clean the tape player head with a cassette cleaning cartridge after 10 to
12 hours of play in order to maintain the best sound and operation.
CASSETTE AND CASSETTE PLAYER CARE
²Use only cassettes that are 90 minutes long or less.
²Do not expose tapes to direct sunlight, high humidity, extreme heat or
extreme cold. Allow tapes that may have been exposed to extreme
temperatures to reach a moderate temperature before playing.

If a manual override function is selected while the outside temperature is
displayed, the new function will be displayed for four seconds after it is
changed, then the outside temperature will return to the window along
with the override selection.
The outside temperature reading is most accurate when the vehicle is
moving. Higher readings may be obtained when the vehicle is not
moving. The readings that you get may not agree with temperatures
given on the radio due to differences in vehicle and station locations.
Fan speed (
)
When AUTOMATIC is pressed, fan
speed is adjusted automatically for
existing conditions. You can override
fan speed at any time. To control
fan speed manually, use the
thumbwheel to cancel automatic fan
speed operation. Rotate the
thumbwheel or press the steering
wheel controls (if equipped) up for
higher fan speed or down for lower
fan speed.
The display will show
to
indicate manual fan operation.
To return to automatic fan operation, press AUTOMATIC.
Manual override controls
The manual override controls allow
you to determine airflow location
and fan speed. To return to full
automatic control, press
Automatic/AUTO.
²Max A/C - Distributes recirculated air through the instrument panel
registers. A temperature of 16ÉC (60ÉF) will appear in the display
window until Automatic/AUTO, another manual override control, or
the temperature control has been selected. The A/C compressor will
only function if the outside temperature is above approximately 2ÉC
(36ÉF). Max A/C is noisier than Norm A/C, but more economic and
efficient. This mode will reduce undesirable odors from entering the
vehicle.

²Norm A/C- Distributes outside air through the instrument panel
registers. The A/C compressor will only function if the outside
temperature is above approximately 2ÉC (36ÉF). Norm A/C is more
quiet than Max A/C, but not as economic and efficient.
²Vent-Distributes outside air through the instrument panel registers.
The air cannot be cooled below the outside temperature.
²Floor- Distributes outside air through the floor ducts. The air cannot
be cooled below the outside temperature.
²Floor & Defrost - Distributes outside air through the windshield
defroster ducts, floor ducts and the side window demisters. The A/C
compressor will operate automatically if the outside temperature is
above approximately 2ÉC (36ÉF). The air distributed through the floor
ducts will be slightly warmer than that sent to the windshield
defroster ducts and the side window demisters.
²Defrost - Distributes outside air through the windshield defroster
ducts and the side window demisters. The A/C compressor will
operate automatically if the outside temperature is above
approximately 2ÉC (36ÉF). This mode will clear ice and fog from the
windshield.
Operating tips
²To reduce fogging under humid weather conditions, place the climate
control system in Defrost and Rear Defrost (if equipped) mode before
driving.
²To reduce humidity buildup inside the vehicle: Do not drive with the
climate control system in Off mode. Do not drive with the climate
control system in Max A/C mode (if equipped).
²Under normal weather conditions, do not leave your vehicle in Max
A/C (if equipped), recirculation control (if equipped) or Off mode
when turning off the ignition.
²Under snowy or dirty weather conditions, leave your vehicle in Max
A/C (if equipped), recirculation control (if equipped), or Off mode
when turning off the ignition.
²Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the exterior base of the
windshield.
²To increase the efficiency of the A/C (if equipped), drive with the
windows slightly open for 2±3 minutes or until the vehicle has been
ªairedº out.
²Do not place objects under the front seat or over the defroster ducts.
They may reduce visibility, fall into the ducts, or degrade the
performance of your climate control system.

AUXILIARY POWER POINT
The auxiliary power point is located in the floor console storage bin.
Do not plug optional electrical accessories into the cigarette lighter. Use
the power point.
Do not use the power point for operating the cigarette lighter element.
The Maximum power each power point can supply depends on the fuse
rating. For example: a 20A fuse should supply a maximum of 240 Watts,
a 15A fuse should supply a maximum of 180 Watts and a 10A fuse should
supply a maximum of 120 Watts. Exceeding these limits will result in a
blown fuse.
