SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION
Warning symbols in this guide
How can you reduce the risk of personal injury to yourself or others? In
this guide, answers to such questions are contained in comments
highlighted by the warning triangle symbol. These comments should be
read and observed.
Warning symbols on your vehicle
When you see this symbol, it is
imperative that you consult the
relevant section of this guide before
touching or attempting adjustment
of any kind.
Protecting the environment
We must all play our part in
protecting the environment. Correct
vehicle usage and the authorized
disposal of waste, cleaning and
lubrication materials are significant
steps towards this aim. Information in this respect is highlighted in this
guide with the tree symbol.
BREAKING-IN YOUR VEHICLE
Your vehicle does not need an extensive break-in. Try not to drive
continuously at the same speed for the first 1,000 miles (1,600 km) of
new vehicle operation. Vary your speed frequently in order to give the
moving parts a chance to break in.
Drive your new vehicle at least 500 miles (800 km) before towing a
trailer. For more detailed information about towing a trailer, refer to
Trailer towingin theTires, Wheels and Loadingchapter.
Do not add friction modifier compounds or special break-in oils since
these additives may prevent piston ring seating. SeeEngine oilin the
Maintenance and Specificationschapter for more information on oil
usage.
NORMAL VEHICLE OPERATION
Your Mariner Hybrid has unique qualities which cause it to operate
differently than a typical vehicle.

Introduction

Starting the vehicle
•The engine will start and run when you first turn the ignition key to
the start position.
•The engine cannot be started in the N (Neutral) position.
•Depending upon temperature and the high voltage battery’s state of
charge, the engine may shut off shortly after starting the vehicle; this
is a normal condition and you do not need to restart the vehicle. The
Ready Indicator Light in the instrument cluster will illuminate to
indicate the vehicle is running. For more Ready Indicator Light
information, refer toWarning lights and chimesin theInstrument
Clusterchapter.
DRIVING THE VEHICLE
Starting Out:
Under normal operation with the vehicle at operating temperature, the
engine will start automatically as you accelerate. Sometimes the engine
will start immediately as you begin moving, while other times the vehicle
will obtain a speed of up to 25 mph (40 km/h) before the engine starts.
You may hear and feel the engine starting as you transition from
electrical to hybrid (gas engine on) operation. This is a normal condition.
These are some of the conditions that may cause engine start-up:
•High voltage battery re-charge is required.
•Driver acceleration demands exceed electric motor capability.
•Outside air temperature is overly hot or cold.
•Certain climate system modes of operation.
•If you are starting up hill or accelerating quickly, the engine will start
immediately as operating conditions require additional power.
Note:If the high voltage battery is very cold or very hot, the engine may
operate more than under normal conditions, and vehicle performance
may be temporarily reduced. This is a normal condition.
Transmission operation
•Your vehicle does not shift like a conventional vehicle. You may feel
transitions between the various operating modes of the hybrid system,
but no actual shifting occurs. For more information about transmission
operation, refer toUnderstanding the gearshift positions of the
electronically-controlled Continuously Variable Transaxle (eCVT)
in theDrivingchapter.

Driver habits
•In general, better fuel economy is achieved during moderate
acceleration and deceleration as opposed to aggressive acceleration
and deceleration. This is true regardless of the mode in which you’re
operating your vehicle.
•To maximize fuel economy, try to extend the length of time the
vehicle operates in electric mode by accelerating lightly. The more you
keep the vehicle in electric mode, the better fuel economy you will
achieve.
•For more information on improving the fuel economy of your Mariner
Hybrid, refer toEssentials of good fuel economyin theMaintenance
and Specificationschapter.
SPECIAL NOTICES

Service data recorders in your vehicle are capable of collecting and
storing diagnostic information about your vehicle. This potentially
includes information about the performance or status of various systems
and modules in the vehicle, such as engine, throttle, steering or brake
systems. In order to properly diagnose and service your vehicle, Ford
Motor Company, Ford of Canada, and service and repair facilities may
access vehicle diagnostic information through a direct connection to your

WARNING LIGHTS AND CHIMES
Warning lights and gauges can alert you to a vehicle condition that may
become serious enough to cause expensive repairs. A warning light may
illuminate when a problem exists with one of your vehicle’s functions.
Many lights will illuminate when you start your vehicle to test and make
sure the bulb works. If any light remains on after starting the vehicle,
refer to the respective system warning light for additional information.
Note:A message may be displayed in the message center in conjunction
with an illuminated warning light, refer toMessage Centerin theDriver
Controlschapter for more information.
Service engine soon:TheService
engine soonindicator light
illuminates when the ignition is first
turned to the RUN position to check
the bulb. Solid illumination after the engine is started indicates the On
Board Diagnostics System (OBD-II) has detected a malfunction. Refer to
On board diagnostics (OBD-II)in theMaintenance and Specifications
chapter. If the light is blinking, engine misfire is occurring which could
damage your catalytic converter. Drive in a moderate fashion (avoid
heavy acceleration and deceleration) and have your vehicle serviced
immediately by your authorized dealer.
Under engine misfire conditions, excessive exhaust temperatures
could damage the catalytic converter, the fuel system, interior
floor coverings or other vehicle components, possibly causing a fire.

Service soon:The Service soon
indicator illuminates when the
vehicle has detected a malfunction.
Report the fault to a dealer at the
earliest opportunity.
Brake system warning light:To
confirm the brake system warning
light is functional, it will
momentarily illuminate when the
ignition is turned to the RUN
position (when the engine is not running), or in a position between RUN
and START, or by applying the parking brake when the ignition is turned
to the RUN position. If the brake system warning light does not
illuminate at this time, seek service immediately from your authorized
dealer. Illumination after releasing the parking brake indicates low brake
fluid level and the brake system should be inspected immediately by
your authorized dealer.
Driving a vehicle with the brake system warning light on is
dangerous. A significant decrease in braking performance may
occur. It will take you longer to stop the vehicle. Have the vehicle
checked by your authorized dealer.

the lamp stays on for more than a
few seconds, then an ABS fault is
indicated, have the system serviced
immediately by your authorized
dealer. Normal braking is still functional unless the brake warning light
also is illuminated.
Airbag readiness:If this light fails
to illuminate when ignition is turned
to ON, continues to flash or remains
on, have the system serviced
immediately by your authorized
dealer. A chime will also sound when a malfunction in the supplemental
restraint system has been detected.
