Yesn't.

E and Ä are basically the same sounds but you use the letter Ä to indicate that the root word has an A. Fähre is derived from fahren so it has Ä but it's the same sound as the first E in Mercedes.

At least in Austria the first e in Mercedes is much closer to e than to ä.

On the other hand many actual ä are also much closer to e than to ä in Austria so ig it might be different in Germany.
