electrical components
aren’t working
properly, a fuse may
have blown. For more
information, please
consult your
Owner’s Guide.
FUEL PUMP SHUT-OFF
SWITCH This device
stops the electric fuel
pump from sending
fuel to the engine
when your vehicle has
had a substantial jolt.
After an accident, if
you find that the
engine cranks, but
does not start, this
switch may have been
activated. The fuel
pump shut-off switch
is in the front
passenger’s footwell,
behind a flip-up cover,
by the kick panel
access cover.
LOCATION OF SPARE
TIRE AND TOOLS
The jack and tools are
either under the
carpeted floorboard or
in the right rear of the
cargo area behind an
access panel. The
spare tire is under the
rear
of the vehicle. For
more information,
please consult your
Owner’s Guide.
TIRE PRESSURE
Safe operation of your
Mariner requires your
tires to be
properly inflated. The
recommended
inflation pressure
is found on the
tire label or the
Safety Compliance
Certification Label on
the driver’s door or
B-Pillar. At least once
a month and before
long trips, inspect
each tire and check
the air pressure with a
tire gauge. Don’t
forget the spare. Air
pressure should be
checked when the
tires are cold.
WARNING:
Improperly inflated
tires can affect
vehicle handling and
can fail suddenly,
resulting in a possible
loss of vehicle control.
CHANGING THE TIRES
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 onto the side of
the road. Your vehicle
is equipped with a
temporary spare tire,
which is smaller than
a regular tire, and is
designed for
emergency use only.
