MPG Mercury Mariner Hybrid 2007 Owner's Manuals

•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.

EPA window sticker
Every new vehicle should have the EPA window sticker. Contact your
authorized dealer if the window sticker is not supplied with your vehicle.
The EPA window sticker should be your guide for the fuel economy
comparisons with other vehicles.
It is important to note the box in the lower left corner of the window
sticker. These numbers represent the Range of MPG (L/100 km)
expected on the vehicle under optimum conditions. Your fuel economy
may vary depending upon the method of operation and conditions.
