Where can Mariner Hybrid be serviced?
Service is provided through Mercury Dealerships.
Can this vehicle be jump-started?
Yes, absolutely. The 2008 Mercury Mariner Hybrid can be treated just like any other vehicle and jump-started.
Does Mariner Hybrid work in all weather conditions?
Yes, even in cold weather. To help validate the durability and reliability of the innovative power system, 170 prototype vehicles were thoroughly tested in five climate extremes on three continents.
Is Mariner part of the carbon-offset program?
Yes. Mariner Hybrid is produced under a carbon-offset program - a claim no other hybrid manufacturer can make. By funding U.S.-based renewable clean energy projects that reduce emissions elsewhere, Mercury offsets greenhouse gasses at its Kansas City plant by the same amount released during the manufacture of each 2008 Mariner Hybrid.
Should I plug Mariner Hybrid in to a wall socket for recharging?
No, the Mariner Hybrid never has to be plugged in to an electrical outlet. The regenerative braking system in the vehicle automatically recharges the battery pack.
