Quick Reference Guide
C-MAX Hybrid
Litho in U.S.A.
This Quick Reference Guide is not intended to
replace your vehicle Owner’s Manual which
contains more detailed information concerning
the features of your vehicle, as well as important
safety warnings designed to help reduce the risk
of injury to you and your passengers. Please read
your entire Owner’s Manual carefully as you
begin learning about your new vehicle and refer
to the appropriate chapters when questions
arise. All information contained in this Quick
Reference Guide was accurate at the time of
duplication. We reserve the right to change
features, operation and/or functionality of
any vehicle specification at any time. Your Ford
dealer is the best source for the most current
information. For detailed operating and safety
information, please consult your Owner’s Manual.
WarningDriving while distracted can result in loss of
vehicle control, crash and injury. We strongly
recommend that you use extreme caution
when using any device that may take your focus
off the road. Your primary responsibility is the
safe operation of your vehicle. We recommend
against the use of any hand-held device while
driving and encourage the use of voice-operated
systems when possible. Make sure you are
aware of all applicable local laws that may
affect the use of electronic devices while driving.

sMart poWer-split architecture
City Driving: In stop and go driving and at low speeds, the electric
motor provides the necessary power. The gas engine kicks in only
to recharge the battery or when more power is needed.
Accelerating: Step on the accelerator pedal and get all the
responsiveness of a traditional gasoline engine.
Cruising/Highway Driving: Due to greater power demands at
highway speeds, your vehicle will use the gasoline engine more
frequently than it will while driving at city traffic speeds. This
is normal.
Braking: For added efficiency, the energy created by friction
during braking is recycled to the battery.
Stopped: To save energy, the gasoline engine will shut off
and the electric motor will stop drawing current.

silent Key s tart (sKs)
When you turn the ignition on, your engine may not sound
like it has started because your hybrid-electric vehicle is
equipped with silent key start. This fuel-saving feature
allows your vehicle to be ready to drive without requiring
your gas engine to be running. Instead of listening for
a traditional gasoline-powered engine sound, look for
the ‘ready to drive’ indicator light
in your instrument
cluster. When the light illuminates, your vehicle has been
successfully started and is ready to drive.
quick tips
sMart gauge® With e coguide
Delivers specific information about various systems on your vehicle using menus that build on previous data. Use your left-hand, 5-way
steering controls to scroll through your menu choices:
Vehicle Range: Estimates the distance your vehicle will travel on
the fuel remaining in the tank. Changes in your driving pattern may
cause the value to vary.
Inform: Provides average fuel economy, fuel levels and
battery status.
Enlighten: Adds power demand and instant fuel economy.
Engage: Adds gas/electric power-split information. Empower: Adds an engine on/off threshold to the power demand
gauge from Enlighten. See how much power you request based on
how far you press the accelerator pedal.
MyView: Lets you customize your menu options, allowing you
to select key information into one, combined screen.
EcoGuide: Displays leaf graphics within the right-hand cluster,
showing you when you’re driving efficiently. More leaves equals
better driving habits!
The Brake Coach appears in the display after the vehicle has come to a stop, and coaches you to
maximize the amount of energy that can be returned through the regenerative braking system.
