2010 FORD FUSION HYBRID engine

Engine coolant temperature
gauge:Indicates engine coolant
temperature. At normal operating
temperature, the level indicator will
be blue and will be in the normal
range (between “H” and “C”). If the
engine coolant temperature exceeds
the normal range, the level indicator
will change to red to indicate that
the engine is overheating. Stop the
vehicle as soon as safely possible,
switch off the engine and let the engine cool.
Empower instrument cluster level only:The
indicator next to the
gauge will illuminate in green or white to indicate the following:
•
Indicator white: This indicates that the hybrid system is not
warm enough to allow operation in electric vehicle mode only. The
gasoline engine will run continuously when the indicator is white.
Note:During silent key start mode, the
indicator will be white,
but the gasoline engine will not run. This is a result of the vehicle
computer allowing the engine to be cooler during the silent key start
period. This is normal operation and does not indicate a problem with
your vehicle. After the first engine start, the
indicator will turn
green when the gasoline engine is warm enough to turn off.
•
Indicator green: This indicates that the hybrid system is warm
enough to allow operation in electric vehicle mode.
If the vehicle operates in electric mode long enough, it is possible that
the gasoline engine may need to run to keep the system warm. In this
case, the
indicator will revert back to white.
High-voltage battery information
gauge:The fill level indicates the
amount of energy stored in the
high-voltage battery as a percent of
total energy capacity. The level will
increase and decrease as the battery
charges and discharges during
normal operation, but the hybrid
system will attempt to control the
level to approximately the middle of
the gauge under most driving
conditions.

To determine your average highway fuel economy, do the following:
1. Drive the vehicle at least 5 miles (8 km) with the speed control
system engaged to display a stabilized average.
2. Record the highway fuel economy for future reference.
It is important to press the RESET button to reset the function after
setting the speed control to get accurate highway fuel economy readings.
For more information refer toEssentials of good fuel economyin the
Maintenance and Specificationschapter.
Distance to empty (DTE):Distance to Empty is displayed in the lower
right for miles or on the top right for kilometers of your vehicle’s
instrument cluster along with the efficiency, history graph or no display
(shown previously with history graph). This function will give you an
estimate of how far you can drive with the fuel remaining in your tank
under normal driving conditions. Distance to empty will vary according
to your driving habits.
DTE is calculated using a running average fuel economy, which is based
on your recent driving history of 500 miles (800 km). This value is not
the same as the average fuel economy display. The running average fuel
economy is re-initialized to a factory default value if the battery is
disconnected.
Turn your vehicle off when refuelling to correctly detect the amount fuel
being added and allow this feature to work correctly.
Refer toMessage centerin this chapter for more information on the
distance to empty display mode.
Tachometer and EV mode gauge
(enlighten instrument cluster
level only):When the gasoline
engine is running, this gauge
displays the engine speed in
revolutions per minute (RPM).
When the hybrid system is operating
in electric vehicle mode (without
the gasoline engine), EV is
displayed. SeeEV mode onlynext.

EV mode only (enlighten
instrument cluster level only):
When the hybrid system is operating
in electric vehicle mode only, EV is
displayed.
Split power gauge (engage
instrument cluster level only):
This gauge indicates the power
being supplied by the vehicle’s two
power sources: the high voltage
battery and the gasoline engine.
When the hybrid system is operating
in electric vehicle mode (without
the gasoline engine), “EV” is
displayed.
Maximum displayed gasoline engine
power is greater than the maximum displayed battery power.
Accessory power gauge
(empower instrument cluster
level only):This gauge indicates
electrical power demands from your
vehicle’s accessory systems.
Accessories such as air conditioning,
headlights, and radio use power but
do not contribute to propelling the
vehicle. The higher the level
indication on this gauge, the more
accessory power is being used. You
can see the level of this gauge change by turning accessories on and off.

Vehicle power gauge (empower
instrument cluster only):When
the transmission is in a drive gear
only, this gauge shows you vehicle
power demand and gasoline engine
on/off threshold. It is designed to
show you how close you are to the
gasoline engine on/off threshold and
how much power you are requesting
by how much you press on the
accelerator pedal.
The red level indicator shows vehicle power demand. The more you
press on the accelerator pedal, the more power you demand of the
vehicle. The green box shows the gasoline engine on/off threshold. If
vehicle power demand is reduced, the gasoline engine will turn off when
the red level indicator moves below the green box. In this case, the
hybrid system is operating in electric vehicle mode andEVis displayed
at the bottom of the gauge. When the red level indicator exceeds the
threshold, the system commands the gasoline engine on (and theEV
disappears).
When the gasoline engine is on for reasons outside of your control (such
as warming up the system or charging a low battery), the gasoline engine
on/off threshold (green box) disappears. When the on/off threshold box
is not displayed, the gasoline engine will not turn off regardless of how
little power you demand (even lifting your foot off of the accelerator).
Odometer:Registers the total miles
(kilometers) of the vehicle.
Refer toMessage centerin this
chapter on how to switch the
display from Metric to English.
Trip odometer:Registers the miles
(kilometers) of individual journeys.
Press and release the message
center INFO button until TRIP A
mode appears in the display. Press
the button again to select the TRIP
B feature. Press the RESET button
to reset.
