2013 FORD C MAX HYBRID fuel

•Inform— Inform shows the fuel level, battery display and average
fuel economy, with options available for the Battery Display and an
Instantaneous Fuel Economy gauge. When the vehicle is operating on
battery power only, EV is displayed. Hold OK to reset average fuel
economy.
•
Enlighten— Enlighten displays power demand in addition to the typical
information and options from Inform. The Instantaneous Fuel Economy
gauge will be displayed by default. When the vehicle is operating on
battery power only, EV is displayed and the gauge fill is shown in blue.
When both the engine and the electric motor are providing power the
gauge fill is white. Hold OK to reset average fuel economy.
•Engage— Engage replaces the power demand gauge from Enlighten
with separate gauges for engine power and electric motor power. The
engine power gauge fill is white and the high voltage battery power
gauge fill is blue. When the vehicle is operating on battery power only,
EV is displayed. Hold OK to reset average fuel economy.
•Empower— Empower adds an engine on/off threshold to the power
demand gauge from Enlighten. The threshold is shown as a blue
double outline. The gauge 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.
When power demand is below the threshold the vehicle is operating on
battery power only, EV is displayed and the gauge fill is shown in blue.
When power demand exceeds the threshold both the engine and the
high voltage battery provide power and the gauge fill is white.
When power demand surpasses the amber indicator, this level of
demand and associated fuel economy are shown in amber.
Hold OK to reset average fuel economy.
MyView— You can choose what to display in this view. Selecting
Change MyView in the Options menu allows you to scroll through two
columns of content choices. The content you select is saved to the
current driver’s key as MyView.
•Avg Fuel — Indicates the average fuel consumption since the function
was last reset.
•Power — When the transmission is in a drive gear only, this gauge
shows you vehicle power.

•Charge Level — This indicates the State of Charge of the battery.
Additionally, for Energi vehicles the option only applies for the Hybrid
Mode battery display (simple battery graphic). The Plug-in Power
Mode battery will always show the charge level with associated
remaining EV range.
•Inst. Fuel — Shows instantaneous fuel usage.
•Coolant Temp – Indicates engine coolant temperature. At normal
operating temperature, the level indicator will be white 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, turn off the vehicle and let the engine cool.
The thermometer indicator next to the gauge will illuminate in blue or
white to indicate the following:
•
Blue thermometer : This indicates that the hybrid system is not
warm enough to allow EV operation. The gasoline engine will run
continuously when the indicator is blue. During silent key start mode,
the thermometer indicator will be blue, but the gasoline engine will not
run. This is the 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 white when the gasoline engine is warm
enough to turn off.
•White thermometer : This indicates that the hybrid system is warm
enough to allow EV operation. If the vehicle operates on battery
power long enough, it is possible that the gasoline engine may need to
run to keep the system warm. In this case, the thermometer indicator
will revert back to blue.
Note:Trip data, average fuel economy and average speed cannot be
reset in MyView. You can reset this data from other screens where it is
shown.

•Fuel History: This view from left to right starts with the instantaneous
fuel economy gauge and adds historical fuel economy data. The data
is represented as an average for time intervals of either 1, 2 or
6 minutes, with the left most interval being the most recent. Total
time for the 5 intervals is shown at the bottom of the view. Interval
time can be selected in the options sub menu. For Energi vehicles a
blue outline indicates Plug-in Power was used at least half of that
interval. Intervals shown in grey color are from the previous drive.
•Coach: This view provides a comparison of your recent Acceleration,
Braking and Cruising behavior to what is recommended for most
efficient use of energy under present conditions. The horizontal bars
fill from left to right with best behavior (and Blue color) shown as at
least half full. When the bars are less than half full, the color is Amber,
suggesting that a change in behavior is needed to achieve better
energy efficiency.
Note that fuel economy is not always a measure of appropriate driving
behavior. For example, when driving uphill and maintaining an
appropriate speed, your instant fuel economy may not be good (losing
leaves) but the Coach may show a blue bar for Acceleration or Cruising.

HEATED WINDOWS AND MIRRORS (IF EQUIPPED)
Heated Rear Window
Note:The vehicle must be running to use this feature.
Press the control to clear the rear window of thin ice and fog. Press the
control again within 15 minutes to switch it off. It turns off automatically
after approximately 15 minutes, or when you switch the ignition off.
Do not use razor blades or other sharp objects to clean the inside
of the rear window or to remove decals from the inside of the
rear window. This may cause damage to the heated grid lines.
Your warranty does not cover this damage.
Heated Exterior Mirror (If Equipped)
Note:Do not remove ice from the mirrors with a scraper or attempt to
readjust the mirror glass that has frozen in place. These actions could
cause damage to the glass and mirrors.
Note:Do not clean the housing or glass of any mirror with harsh
abrasives, fuel or other petroleum-based cleaning products.
Both mirrors heat to remove ice, mist and fog when you turn the rear
window defroster on.
CABIN AIR FILTER
Note:Make sure you have a cabin air filter installed at all times. This
prevents foreign objects from entering the system. Running the system
without a filter in place could result in degradation or damage to the
system.
Your cabin air filter is located under the instrument panel in the
passenger footwell area. The particulate filtration system reduces the
concentration of airborne particles such as dust, spores and pollen in
the air supplied to the interior of your vehicle. The particulate filtration
system gives you and your passengers the following benefits:
•It improves your driving comfort by reducing particle concentration.
•It improves the interior compartment cleanliness.
•It protects the climate control components from particle deposits.
Replace the filter at regular intervals. See theScheduled Maintenance
chapter.
For more information about your filter, see an authorized dealer.
