2007 Mercury Mountaineer Quick Reference Guide 1st Printing

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 Maintenance and

Specifications chapter 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.

Warning: Improperly inflated tires

can affect vehicle handling and

tire performance.

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

common

among 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 Emergencies

chapter 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

help when you are locked out of your

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

Owner’s Information portfolio. To receive

roadside assistance in the United States, call

(800) 241-3673.
