octane Mercury Mountaineer 2006 Quick Reference Guide

Location of Spare Tire and Tools
The spare tire is located under the vehicle,
just forward of the rear bumper. The spare
tire winch drive nut is located at the rear
center of the cargo area, under a lid. The
jack, jack handle and lug nut wrench are
located behind the rear seat under the
carpeted lid in the cargo floor. The tools are
contained in a bag attached to the jack.
Fuses
If the vehicle’s electrical components are not
operating, a fuse may have blown. The fuse
panel is located below the instrument panel
on the driver’s side; remove the cover to
view the fuses. For more information
regarding changing fuses, refer to the
Roadside Emergencies chapter of your
Owner’s Guide.
Fuel Information
Use regular unleaded gasoline with an
(R+M)/2 octane rating of 87. Ford Motor
Company does not recommend using regular
unleaded gasoline with an octane rating
of 86 or lower in high altitude areas.
The advertised fuel capacity of the fuel tank
is equal to the rated refill capacity of the fuel
tank as listed in the Refill capacities section
of the Owner’s Guide.
Tire Pressure
Your vehicle’s tire pressure is properly set by
your authorized dealer according to the
recommended specifications found on the
vehicle’s tire label, located on the driver’s
door jamb. Check your tire pressure during
routine maintenance and seasonal changes.
If the Tire Pressure Monitoring System light
stays illuminated after starting, immediately
check the vehicle’s tire pressures. Note:
Improperlyinflated tires can affect vehicle
handling and can fail suddenly, resulting in a
possible loss of vehicle control.Rear Window Buffeting
When one or both of the rear windows are
open, the vehicle may demonstrate a wind
throb or buffeting noise; this noise is commonamong a wide range of vehicles and can be
eliminated by simply lowering a front
window approximately two to three inches.
Fuel Pump Shut-Off Switch
The fuel pump shut-off switch is a device
intended to stop the electric fuel pump
when your vehicle has been involved in a
substantial jolt. The switch is located in the
passenger’s footwell, by the kick panel.
After a collision, if the engine cranks but
does not start, the fuel pump shut-off
switch may have been activated. For more
information regarding the fuel pump
shut-
off switch, refer to the Roadside
Emergencieschapter of your Owner’s Guide.
Changing the Tires
The spare tire is not equipped with a Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) sensor.
The TPMS warning light will illuminate when
the spare tire is in use. Replace the spare tire
with a road tire as soon as possible. If you
get a flat tire while driving, do not apply the
brake heavily; instead, gradually decrease
your speed, hold the steering wheel firmly
and slowly move to a safe place on the side
of the road.
Roadside Assistance
During your Mountaineer’s 3-year/36,000
mile limited warranty period, the assurance
and support of a 24-hour emergency
roadside assistance program is included.
Roadside assistance includes such services as
fuel delivery, tire changes, jump starts and

vehicle. Complete your roadside assistance
identification card and keep it handy (such
as in your wallet) for quick reference. This
identification card is located in your Mercury
