2013 FORD C MAX HYBRID 12 volt battery

Value Charge Profile and Mode
Value Charge profile nameis the name of the presently detected
Value Charge Profile. The system detects a customer defined value
charge profile when the vehicle is within approximately 300 feet
(100 meters) of the GPS location registered for the profile. If the vehicle
is close to more than one charge profile, it chooses the closest. When
the vehicle is not at a defined profile, it uses theDefault Valuecharge
profile. The system normally displaysDefault Profilewhile you are
driving because the vehicle is typically between defined value charge
profiles.
Editallows you to access your Value Charge profiles settings screen
(seeValue Charge Profileslater in this section).
Charge Nowif you want your vehicle to immediately charge when
plugged in at this profile location. This button illuminates if the current
charge mode for the currently detected charge profile.
Value Chargeif you want to take advantage of off-peak electricity rates.
The vehicle optimizes the charge schedule to be complete by the next
GO Time. This button illuminates if the current charge mode for the
currently detected charge profile.
Charging Status and Actual Times
This is the status of the charging system, which includes the charging
plug, high-voltage battery and charger.
Next Chargemeans the vehicle is unplugged. Estimated charge
information is for the present vehicle location.
Waiting to Chargemeans the vehicle is plugged in. Typical of Value
Charge mode, the vehicle may not start charging right away because it is
set to charge at times with lower utility costs.
Chargingmeans the high-voltage battery is charging.
Chargedmeans the high-voltage battery is fully charged and not
currently scheduled for further charging.

Power
This screen displays how the electric vehicle system transfers power in
order to accelerate or recharge the battery. The power flow screens show
power going to or through a component. These screens are for your
information only, and do not require any input from you.
Depending on your vehicle type, the power flow screen may vary in
order to show the appropriate components.
Note:Vehicle configuration and status displayed may not always match
actual vehicle state due to display constraints and simplified graphics.
A.Motor-to-wheel flowshows the direction of power flow between the
wheels and the electric motor.
B.Electric Motorrepresents the hybrid electric motor. The higher the
motor power is, the larger the circle around this node. Any time the
vehicle is ready to be driven, the motor node illuminates.
C.Battery-to-motor flowshows the direction of power flow between
the high-voltage battery and the electric motor. Flow toward the motor
indicates the battery is providing power to accelerate the vehicle
(discharging the battery). Flow toward the battery indicates the electric
motor is providing power to the battery (charging the battery).
Note:The battery-to-motor flow includes battery power the vehicle is
using for acceleration. It does not include energy the vehicle is using for
accessories (such as air conditioning, headlights and radio). This screen
displays accessories and climate usage separately.

D.Plug (Energi only)appears when you plug your vehicle into the
wall. When charging the high voltage battery from the wall, you can see
flow from the plug to the battery on the screen.
•Accessoriesindicates electrical power demands from your vehicle’s
accessory systems. Accessories use power but do not contribute to
making the vehicle move. The power flow displays power usage from
the climate control system and other accessories separately.
E.Otherincludes all power usage from the low voltage accessories such
as the climate control fan, headlights and heated seats. The higher the
power usage is from these accessories, the larger the circle around the
node. This node illuminates anytime the vehicle is on since there is
always some low level power in use.
F.Climateincludes the power usage from the high-voltage climate
control components such as the electric A/C compressor and the electric
heater (Energi only). The higher the power usage is from these
components, the larger the circle around this node.
Note:The climate control system may determine A/C is necessary even
when you turn it off. In this case, you may see some climate power when
the A/C is off.
G.High voltage battery powerrepresents your high-voltage battery.
A circle illuminates around the node when the high-voltage battery is
receiving power from regenerative braking, engine charging or external
charging (when you plug it in). The higher the power usage is from the
high-voltage battery, the larger the circle around this node.
H.Fuelrepresents the fuel tank in the vehicle.
I.Fuel-to-engine flowshows flow from the fuel tank to the engine
when the engine is on and using fuel (there are some cases where the
engine is on, but not using any fuel). When the engine is on, but not
using fuel, the engine node is active, but the fuel flow path is off. An
example of this is when your foot is off the accelerator pedal and the
vehicle is traveling at a high speed.
J.Engine On due toprovides you with the reason(s) the gasoline
engine is on. When the gasoline engine is off, this display does not
appear.Engine On due toreasons displayed by the system are in a
chart following this list.
K.Motor-to-engine flowshows the direction of power flow between the
engine and the electric motor. The direction indicates if the engine is
providing power to the high-voltage electrical system, or if the high-voltage
electrical system is providing power to control or start the engine.
