ECO mode Mercury Villager 2001 Owner's Manuals

TheService Engine Soonindicator light illuminates when the ignition is
first turned to the ON position to check the bulb. If it comes on after the
engine is started, one of the engine's emission control systems may be
malfunctioning. The light may illuminate without a driveability concern
being noted. The vehicle will usually be drivable and will not require
towing.
What you should do if the Service Engine Soon light illuminates
Light turns on solid:
This means that the OBD II system has detected a malfunction.
Temporary malfunctions may cause yourService Engine Soonlight to
illuminate. Examples are:
1. The vehicle has run out of fuel. (The engine may misfire or run
poorly.)
2. Poor fuel quality or water in the fuel.
3. The fuel cap may not have been properly installed and securely
tightened.
These temporary malfunctions can be corrected by filling the fuel tank
with high quality fuel of the recommended octane and/or properly
installing and securely tightening the gas cap. After three driving cycles
without these or any other temporary malfunctions present, theService
Engine Soonlight should turn off. (A driving cycle consists of a cold
engine startup followed by mixed city/highway driving.) No additional
vehicle service is required.
If theService Engine Soonlight remains on, have your vehicle serviced
at the first available opportunity.
Light is blinking:
Engine misfire is occurring which could damage your catalytic converter.
You should drive in a moderate fashion (avoid heavy acceleration and
deceleration) and have your vehicle serviced at the first available
opportunity.
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.

O/D off
Illuminates when the Transmission
Control Switch (TCS), refer to
Overdrive controlin theControls
and Featureschapter, has been
pushed turning the transmission overdrive function OFF. When the light
is on, the transmission does not operate in the overdrive mode, refer to
theDrivingchapter for transmission function and operation.
The light may also flash steadily if a transmission malfunction is
detected. If the light does not come on when the Transmission Control
Switch is depressed or if the light flashes steadily, have your vehicle
serviced as soon as possible, damage to the transmission could occur.
Low washer fluid
Illuminates when the ignition is
turned to the ON position and when
the windshield washer fluid is low.

The air conditioning operates in MAX A/C and when the A/C control is
depressed. However, the air conditioning will only function if the outside
temperature is about 4ÉC (40ÉF) or higher.
Since the air conditioner removes considerable moisture from the air
during operation, it is normal if clear water drips on the ground under
the air conditioner drain while the system is working and even after you
have stopped the vehicle.
²MAX A/C-Uses recirculated air to cool the vehicle. MAX A/C is noisier
than A/C modes but more economical and will cool the inside of the
vehicle faster. In this mode, the air conditioning will automatically
engage if the outside temperature is about 4ÉC (40ÉF) or higher and
the
A/Cindicator will automatically light. Airflow will be from the
instrument panel registers. This mode can also be used to prevent
undesirable odors from entering the vehicle.
²
(Panel)-Distributes outside air through the instrument panel
registers. Heating and air conditioning capabilities are provided in this
mode. Push
A/Cto cool the vehicle below the outside temperature.
²OFF-Outside air is shut out and the fan will not operate. For short
periods of time only, use this mode to reduce undesirable odors from
entering the vehicle.
²
(Panel and floor)-Distributes outside air through the instrument
panel registers and the front and rear floor ducts. Heating and air
conditioning capabilities are provided in this mode. Push
A/Cin order
to cool the vehicle below the outside temperature. For added
customer comfort, when the temperature control knob is anywhere in
between the full hot and full cold positions, the air distributed through
the front and rear floor ducts will be slightly warmer than the air sent
to the instrument panel registers.
²
(Floor)-Allows for maximum heating by distributing outside air
through the front and rear floor ducts. Heating and air conditioning
capabilities are provided in this mode. Push
A/Cin order to cool the
vehicle below the outside temperature.

²(Floor and defrost)-Distributes outside air through the
windshield defroster ducts and the front and rear floor ducts. Heating
and air conditioning capabilities are provided in this mode. Push
A/C
to cool the vehicle below the outside temperature. For added
customer comfort, when the temperature control knob is anywhere in
between the full hot and full cold positions, the air distributed through
the front and rear floor ducts will be slightly warmer than the air sent
to the windshield defroster ducts. If the outside temperature is about
4ÉC (40ÉF) or higher, the air conditioner will automatically dehumidify
the air to reduce fogging.
²
(Defrost)-Distributes outside air through the windshield
defroster ducts. It can be used to clear ice or fog from the windshield.
If the outside temperature is about 4ÉC (40ÉF) or higher, the air
conditioner will automatically dehumidify the air to reduce fogging.
However, the
A/Cindicator will not be lit unless the A/C control is
selected.
Cooling your vehicle with outside air
Cooling your vehicle with air conditioned outside air is quieter but less
economical than using air conditioned recirculated air. It also has less
cooling capacity and is not recommended for high outside temperatures.
In order to cool your vehicle using outside air:
1. Turn the mode selector to
,or.
2. Press
A/C. The indicator light on the A/C selector will illuminate.
3. Turn the temperature control knob counterclockwise to COOL.
4. Turn the fan speed control to the position of your choice.
During periods of high humidity, vapor may be emitted from the air
outlets when using the A/C system with outside air. This can be
corrected by using MAX A/C to cool the vehicle.

A/C indicators will light and the airflow will be from the instrument
panel registers. In this mode, the air conditioning will automatically
engage if the outside temperature is about 4ÉC (40ÉF) or higher.
Cooling your vehicle with outside air using override controls
Cooling your vehicle with air conditioned outside air using just the A/C
override control is quieter but less economical than using both the A/C
and the MAX control. It also has less cooling capacity and is not
recommended for high outside temperatures.
In order to cool your vehicle with outside air using the override controls:
1. Select the override control
,or.
2. Press
A/C. The indicator light onA/Cwill illuminate.
3. Select the desired temperature for your comfort level.
4. Adjust the fan speed override knob to the position of your choice.
During periods of high humidity, vapor may be emitted from the air
outlets when using the A/C system with outside air. This can be
corrected by using MAX A/C to cool the vehicle.
