SecuriCode™, a keyless entry keypad located on the driver’s-side door, lets you lock and unlock all the doors and release the liftgate glass when you enter your personalized entry code.

With a touch of a button on the remote keyless entry key fob, you can unlock and lock your doors, as well as release the liftgate, from up to 33 feet away. An added security feature is the panic alarm button that can alert others to possible emergencies.

The SecuriLock® Passive Anti-Theft System is designed to help prevent the engine from being started unless the proper electronically coded key is used in the ignition. A flashing light indicates the system is armed, adding a visual deterrent to would-be thieves. Standard on all Mariner models.

The available universal garage door opener on Hybrid and Premier models can be easily programmed to control your garage door, a home security system and interior lights. This feature can replace up to three remotes. The controls are located in the driver’s-side visor for easy access.

When the tire pressure goes below the recommended tire inflation level (excluding spare tire), a warning lamp is displayed along with a corresponding notification in the message center.

When computer-controlled sensors indicate wheel lockup during hard braking, the four-channel ABS electronically pumps the brakes several times per second. As a result, this system helps you maintain steering control.

The standard, programmable MyKey™ provides a number of features to help you make driving safer for young drivers.

Standard settings — These settings cannot be changed:

* Belt-Minder® System cannot be disabled and will not expire (the stereo also gets muted until everyone buckles up)**

* The audio system will be muted whenever Belt-Minder is activated

* Low-fuel warnings are displayed in the message center followed by a chime when the Distance-to-Empty value reaches 75 miles (120 km)

* If equipped, the parking aid, Blind Spot Information System (BLIS™) with cross-traffic alert and forward collision warning cannot be turned off

Optional settings — These settings can be changed:

* Vehicle speed is limited to 80 mph (130 kmh). Visual warnings and chimes are displayed:

* At vehicle start to inform the driver that the vehicle speed is limited to 80 mph (130 kmh)

* At 75 mph to warn the driver that the vehicle speed is near the top speed

* At 80 mph to warn the driver that the vehicle has reached the top speed

* The driver is encouraged to check his/her speed and drive safely via visual warnings and chimes when a preselected vehicle speed of 45, 55 or 65 mph (75, 90, or 105 kmh) is exceeded

* The maximum volume of the audio system is limited to 45 percent.

* The AdvanceTrac® System cannot be turned off. When this optional setting is on, the MyKey user will not be able to deactivate the system. This prevents the driver from burning the tires, performing doughnuts, etc.
