Safety information
Please read and follow all stated safety precautions. Failure to do
so may increase your risk of collision and personal injury.
Ford Motor Company shall not be liable for any damages of any
type arising from failure to follow these guidelines.
Do not attempt to service, repair or modify the system. See your Ford or
Lincoln Mercury dealer.
The driver must not attempt to operate any detailed operation of
the navigation system while the vehicle is in motion. Give full
attention to driving and to the road. Pull off the road and park in a
safe place before performing detailed operations.
A safety screen will be displayed
each time the navigation system is
turned on as a reminder. Ensure
that you are familiar with the
system’s features and functionality,
including the following:
•Do not turn the ignition key or start the engine while the software is
updating.
•Do not apply pressure to the display screen.
•The navigation system is not a substitute for your personal judgement.
•Route suggestions should not supersede local traffic regulations or
safe driving practices.
•Do not follow route suggestions if they direct you to perform an
unsafe or illegal maneuver, would place you in an unsafe situation, or
would route you into an area that you consider unsafe.
•Drivers should not rely on screen displays while their vehicle is in
motion. Let the voice guide you. If viewing is necessary, pull off the
road to a safe location.

when the vehicle is stationary. Certain functions will therefore not
operate while the vehicle is in motion.
•The navigation CD does not reflect road detours, closures or
construction, road characteristics such as rough road surface, slope or
grade, weight or height restrictions, traffic congestion, weather or
similar conditions.
•To use the system as effectively and safely as possible, obtain
up-to-date navigation CD’s whenever they become available.
•Set the volume level so that you can hear directions clearly.
•Do not disassemble or modify the system as this may lead to damage
and void your warranty. If a problem occurs, stop using the system
immediately and contact your Ford or Lincoln Mercury dealer.

Energy Flow Screen
Your Vehicle Navigation System is equipped with an Energy Flow Screen.
This screen provides a graphical representation of how power is
transferred in the Hybrid system to either accelerate the vehicle, or
re-charge the battery. The screen also provides you with titles to
describe the mode which is currently active in the Hybrid system. These
screens are informational and do not require any input from you. Note
that due to the one second screen updates and the simplification of the
graphics, the display may not show the actual vehicle status.
To view the Energy Flow Screen,
press the battery icon. While the
display is activated, the audio will
continue to play.

1.Engine Power:This line
represents how much power is being
provided to the wheels by the
engine. The arrow will always flow
in one direction and point to the
wheels.
2.Engine:This icon represents the
Internal Combustion Engine (ICE).
It will be highlighted in orange only
when the ICE is running.
3.Generator Power:This line
represents how much power is being
generated by the engine for use by
the HV electric system, or how
much power is being used by the
HV electric system to control/start
the engine.
4.HV Battery:This icon represents your High Voltage Battery. The fill
level (shown in green), represents the state of charge of the HV Battery
and will go up and down as the battery charges/discharges during normal
operation.
5.Battery Power:This line represents how much power the HV battery
is providing to accelerate the vehicle (discharging), or how much power
is being delivered back through the motor to the battery (charging).
6.Electric Motor:This icon represents the Hybrid Electric Motor. This
symbol will be highlighted in orange after the vehicle has been started
and will remain highlighted until key off to indicate that the vehicle is

7.Motor Power:This line represents how much power the electric
motor is delivering to the wheels (acceleration), or how much power is
being delivered back through the motor to charge the battery
(deceleration/braking.)
Note:The power arrows may point in different directions, indicating
which way the power is flowing. The arrows may also vary in width to
indicate the different levels of power being provided to that component.
The energy flow screens contain a title to indicate what mode the Hybrid

2007 Mariner Hybrid(mhv)
Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt)

Entertainment Systems
39

•Instantaneous Fuel Economy
(IFE):The IFE is displayed on
the vertical bar on the left of the
screen ranging from 0 mpg up to
MAX, which indicates excellent
fuel economy. Your vehicle must
be moving to calculate
instantaneous fuel economy.
When the vehicle is not moving,
the IFE function will display no
bar on the IFE graph indicating 0
mpg. Conversely, if you are driving in electric mode (Engine off), this
function will display MAX. IFE cannot be reset.
•Average Fuel Economy (AFE):The AFE is displayed on the white
bar across the graph. The AFE will be retained when the key is turned
OFF, and will continue averaging when driving resumes. Pressing
RESET will reset the AFE to zero.
•One minute average graph:The graph is updated each minute with
the fuel economy that was achieved during the prior minute of driving.
Each new one minute average will be added to the left side of the
graph, shifting the past data to the right. When the graph area is full,
the right most point will be deleted, keeping a running scroll from left
to right of the last 15 minutes of driving. The graph is intended to
provide a graphical representation of how driving habits/conditions can
affect fuel economy. Note that the graph will be cleared anytime the
key is turned out of RUN (however, the average fuel economy bar will
retain its value). Press RESET to clear the graph.
If the Navigation System has been set to units of Kilometer, the Fuel
Economy Screen will display the equivalent Consumption Graph in units
of L/100KM. In Consumption (L/100KM) mode, the IFE function will
display MAX until the vehicle is moving. For more information on
Average Fuel Economy, refer toMessage centerin theDriver Controls
chapter.
Audio features
Your Vehicle Navigation Radio has many features including a full range of
audio functions.
Audio screen display
