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

running scroll with the bar on the left being the most recent.
For the Fusion Hybrid and MKZ Hybrid, the previous values will
remain when the vehicle is shut off and restarted, but values from a
previous drive cycle will be grayed out.
For the Escape Hybrid, you will start with an empty fuel economy
history with every ignition cycle.
If the navigation system has been set to units of Kilometer, the Fuel
Economy screen will display the equivalent Consumption Graph in units
of L/100 KM. In Consumption (L/100 KM) mode, the IFE function will
display MAX until the vehicle is moving. For more information on
Average Fuel Economy, refer toMessage centerin theInstrument
Clusterchapter in yourOwner’s Guide.
Power and efficiency (if equipped)
If you have an Escape Hybrid, your
vehicle is equipped with a Power &
Efficiency screen which provides
additional information about brake
efficiency, vehicle power, air
conditioning power and efficiency
information.
Brake (brake gauge):The narrow band indicates brake power demand.
(The more you press on the brake pedal, the more braking power you
demand of the vehicle). The wide band remains stationary to show the
area in which braking is more efficient (beneath the line) and the
approximate point where the limit of regenerative braking is reached (at
the top of the line) and where conventional friction braking is applied
(over the line).
•When possible, anticipate braking. Moderate braking will help you stay
within the efficient braking zone (keeping the narrow band below the
wide band) thereby improving the regenerative braking energy
recovery.
•Brake demand may be present when coasting (without your foot on
the brake pedal), particularly in low gear as the powertrain is
contributing to slowing the vehicle.
Note:At zero vehicle speed, the narrow band indicator will show zero.

911 Assist™ (if equipped)
For 911 Assist™ to function properly, the vehicle must have
battery power after the crash, the cell phone must be previously
paired, connected to SYNC, and continue to function properly
with the ability to make and maintain a 911 call initiated by
SYNC, and the 911 Assist™ feature must be previously enabled
(set to ON).
WARNING:Do not wait for 911 Assist™ to initiate an
emergency call if you are capable yourself. Dial emergency
services immediately to avoid delayed response time, which could
increase the risk of serious injury or death after a crash. If you do not
hear 911 Assist™ within 5 seconds after the crash, the system or
phone may be damaged or non-functional.
The cell phone or 911 Assist™ hardware may become damaged in
a crash, the vehicle may lose battery power, or the cell phone may
be thrown from the vehicle, which could prevent operation.
Additionally, every cell phone operates differently. While SYNC
911 Assist™ works with most cell phones, some phones may have
trouble using this feature. Finally, not all crashes deploy an
airbag or, in certain vehicles, activate the fuel pump shut-off
which are the criteria to initiate 911 Assist™.
Airbags generally deploy in certain frontal, near frontal, side and rollover
crashes, and the deployment of any airbag is intended to act as a 911
Assist™ trigger if those events occur. For more information about airbag
deployment, see theSeating and Safety Restraintschapter of your
Owner Guide. The fuel pump shut-off, in certain vehicles, is intended to
act as a trigger for 911 Assist™ in rear-end crashes, in which airbags
generally do not deploy. To determine if your vehicle has this trigger,
check theRoadside Emergencychapter in your Owner’s Guide. If your
Owner Guide describes a “Fuel Pump Shut-off”, it will trigger 911
Assist™. If your Owner Guide describes a “Fuel Pump Shut-offSwitch”,
it will not trigger 911 Assist™.
WARNING:Always place cell phone in a secure location to
prevent it from becoming a projectile or becoming damaged in
the event of a collision. Failure to do so may cause serious injury or
damage the phone which could prevent 911 Assist™ from functioning
properly.

911 ASSIST™ PRIVACY NOTICE: Once 911 Assist™ is enabled
(set to ON) by you, 911 Assist™ may, through any paired and
connected cell phone, disclose to emergency services that the
vehicle has been in a crash involving the deployment of an airbag
or, in certain vehicles, the activation of the fuel pump shut-off.
Certain versions or updates to 911 Assist™ may also be capable
of electronically or verbally disclosing to 911 operators the
vehicle location, and/or other details about the vehicle or crash to
assist 911 operators to provide the most appropriate emergency
services. If you do not want to disclose this information, do not
enable (set to ON) the feature.
Note:If 911 Assist™ is enabled/disabled by any user, the current setting
will apply for all paired phones. If the 911 Assist™ setting is disabled
(set to OFF), a voice message and/or display item will inform the vehicle
occupants when a previously paired phone connects to SYNCat vehicle
start up.
In the event of a crash involving the deployment of an airbag or the
activation of the fuel pump shut-off, SYNCis designed to assist
occupants in attempting to contact emergency services by dialing 911
through the occupant’s paired and connectedBluetoothenabled cellular
phone. In the event that a connected cellular phone is damaged or loses
connection to SYNC, SYNCwill search for and connect to any
available, previously paired cell phone and attempt to place the call to
911. Before initiating the call, SYNC provides a short window of time
(approximately 10 seconds) that allows the driver or passenger to decide
whether to cancel the call by pressing and holding
on the steering
wheel controls. Before initiating the 911 call for the occupants, SYNC
will say the following or a similar message:
“SYNCwill attempt to call 911. If you wish to cancel the call, press and
hold the phone button.”
If the call is not cancelled and a successful call is made, a pre-recorded
message will be played for the 911 operator and then the occupant(s) in
the vehicle will be able to communicate with the 911 operator.
Note:Failure to cancel the call by pressing
will result in SYNC
dialing 911.
Note:When you are connected to the 911 operator, be prepared to
provide your name, phone number and location immediately, because not
all 911 systems are capable of receiving this information electronically.
