FUEL ECONOMY SCREEN
If you have a Fusion Hybrid or MKZ Hybrid, the fuel economy screen
displays instantaneous fuel consumption, overall average fuel economy
and also a graph of fuel economy achieved in the last 10, 20 or
60 minutes of driving. (Refer to Average Fuel Economy in the
Instrument Cluster chapter in your Owner’s Guide.) To view this screen,
select ‘Show Fuel Economy’ on the ‘HEV’ tab screen.
If you have an Escape Hybrid, the
fuel economy screen will display fuel
economy achieved in the last
10 minutes of driving. (Refer to
Average Fuel Economy in the
Instrument Cluster chapter in your
Owner’s Guide.) To view this screen,
select ’Fuel Economy’ on the ‘HEV’
tab screen.
•Instantaneous Fuel Economy (Inst Econ):This is displayed on
the vertical bar on the left of the screen ranging from 0–60 mpg.
When the vehicle is not moving, the Ins Econ function will display no
bar on the Inst Cons graph indicating 0 mpg. Conversely, if you are
driving in electric mode (engine off), this function will display 60+
mpg. Instantaneous Economy cannot be reset.
•Overall Average Fuel Economy (AVG MPG):The AVG MPG is
displayed on the upper left hand corner of the screen. The AVG MPG
will be retained when the key is turned off and will continue averaging
when driving resumes. Pressing RESET will reset the AVG MPG to
zero. This will also reset the Average Fuel Economy on the Instrument
Cluster.
Note:If you have an Escape Hybrid, the average fuel economy
information will not appear in the instrument cluster.
•Fuel Economy History graph:Depending on your vehicle, this
graph will indicate average fuel economy in 10, 20 or 60 minute
intervals. If you have a Fusion Hybrid or MKZ Hybrid, you can choose
the interval using the message center. If you have an Escape Hybrid,
the display will appear in 10 minute intervals. The graph is updated
each minute with the fuel economy that was achieved during the prior
10, 20 or 60 minutes of driving. Each new average will be added to the
left side of the graph, shifting the past data to the right. When the
graph area is full, the right most point will be deleted, keeping a

PRINCIPLES OF GPS
Your system directs you based on information derived from global
positioning satellites, road maps stored on the hard disk drive, sensors in
your vehicle and the desired destination. The system compiles all
necessary information to guide you to your selected destination. Space
satellites determine the vehicle’s current location and transmit position
and time signals to your car. If the vehicle has been parked for a long
period of time, the navigation function may be temporarily unresponsive.
The navigation system will operate reliably again once GPS reception is
available for a few minutes.
LIMITED GPS RECEPTION
System performance may be adversely affected if GPS reception is
interrupted or interference occurs over a distance of several miles. The
following are possible causes for GPS reception being interrupted. If the
vehicle is:
•In multi-story parking garages
•In tunnels and under bridges
•Inside or in between buildings
•By forests or tree-lined avenues
•In heavy rain showers and thunderstorms
•In valleys and in mountainous regions
•Roads under cliffs
Ensure that you do not have any metal objects on the dashboard and that
if your windows are tinted, they use non-metal tinting instead of metal
oxide tinting. Both of these factors can also interrupt GPS reception.
SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
Navigation system cold temperature operational limitations:The
navigation system’s performance will be slower than normal at
temperatures lower than -5° F (-20° C). At temperatures lower than -22°
F (-30° C), you will be notified that the system has shut down key
elements to protect itself. Normal system operation will return once the
unit has warmed up enough to operate without damage.
Other conditions:When calculating a route, the system doesn’t take
into consideration any of the following conditions:
•Traffic Conditions
•Weather Conditions

In-band ringing:This is a phone dependent feature. If yourBluetooth
enabled cellular phone supports this feature, SYNCcan play your ring
tone during incoming calls.
Indexing:A process in which SYNCbuilds a voice recognition grammar
for the media content of your digital media player. While indexing,
SYNCwill play already indexed media if Autoplay is on. However, voice
recognition is not available for the media until the indexing process is
complete.
Metadata:Descriptive tags embedded in your digital media which
provide SYNCwith information such as ARTIST, ALBUM, GENRE and
TRACK.
Pairing:To use yourBluetoothenabled cellular phone with SYNC, you
must go through a pairing (bonding) process. “Pairing” is a special
process used when two devices connect for the first time. The pairing
process is used to generate a link key that is used for authentication
purposes during subsequentBluetoothconnections between the two
devices.
PIN (Personal Identification number):This six digit number
(sometimes referred to as a passkey) will be shown in the radio display
during the pairing process with yourBluetoothenabled device. You do
not need to write down this number as it will only be used for that
specific pairing procedure.
