Additional Tips:
•Do not carry extra loads
•Be mindful of adding external accessories that may increase
aerodynamic drag
•Observe posted speed limits
•Perform all scheduled maintenance
•There is no need to wait for your engine to warm up. The vehicle is
ready to drive immediately after starting
EV+ Mode
Your vehicle will recognize your frequent destinations and allow for more
EV driving as you approach them. For example, when nearing your home
it should be easier to stay in electric mode. The EV indicator will display
EV+ when this mode is active. You should see this approximately
1/8 mile (200 meters) from a frequent destination.
Note:Frequent destinations are learned by your vehicle after two to
four weeks of use. These destinations can be cleared with a Lifetime
Summary reset through the Settings menu.
Note:The EV+ feature can be turned on or off through the Driver Assist
section of the Settings menu.
Frequently Asked Questions
Question Answer
What are the
series of clicks
from the cargo
area when I first
turn the key in
the ignition?The high voltage battery is electrically isolated from
the rest of the vehicle when the key is off. When
the key is turned to on, high voltage contactors
inside the battery are closed to make the electricity
available to the motor/generator and enable the
vehicle to drive. The clicks are the sound of these
contactors as they close and open during start up
and shut down.
Why does the
engine sometimes
start at key-on?The vehicle’s computer will determine if an engine
start is required at key-on. Silent key start will start
the engine if it is necessary for cabin heating,
windshield defrost, or if the outside temperature is
low. (For C-MAX Energi vehicles, engine on is not
required to operate these functions.)

If the fuel fill inlet was not properly closed, a Check Fuel Fill Inlet
message may appear on the information display screen. At the next
opportunity, do the following:
1. Safely pull off the road.
2. Put the vehicle inP(Park) and turn the ignition off.
3. Open the fuel filler door and remove any visible debris from the fuel
fill opening.
4. Insert either the fuel fill nozzle or the fuel fill funnel provided with the
vehicle several times to dislodge any debris and/or allow the inlet to
close properly.
If this action corrects the problem, the message may not reset
immediately. It may take several driving cycles for the message to turn
off. A driving cycle consists of an engine start-up (after four or more
hours with the engine off) followed by city/highway driving. Continuing
to drive with the message on may cause the service engine soon lamp to
turn on as well.
Using the Easy Fuel™ Capless Fuel System (C-MAX Energi Only)
WARNING:The fuel system may be under pressure. Insert the
fuel nozzle slowly. If you hear a hissing sound near the fuel filler
door, do not refuel until the sound stops. Otherwise, fuel may spray
out, which could cause serious personal injury.
Note:Your vehicle features a locking fuel door and an Easy Fuel™
system which has a auto-sealing feature that locks the fuel tank refueling
valve. Before you can refuel your vehicle you must first press the button
located on your instrument panel. Pressing this button will unlock the
fuel tank refueling valve allowing the fuel filler door to open so that the
fuel filler nozzle can be inserted into the fuel tank. This could take up to
15 seconds before the fuel filler door pops open allowing the insertion of
the fuel filler nozzle. In the event that the fuel valve does not unlock
automatically you can pull the manual override lever located in the
trunk. This will open the refueling door and allow access to fill your
vehicle.

RUNNING OUT OF FUEL
Avoid running out of fuel because this situation may have an adverse
effect on vehicle components.
If you have run out of fuel:
•You may need to cycle the ignition from off to on after refueling to
allow the fuel system to pump the fuel from the tank to the engine.
•Normally, adding 1 gallon (3.8 liters) of fuel is enough to restart the
engine. If the vehicle is out of fuel and on a steep grade, more than
1 gallon (3.8 liters) may be required.
•The service engine soon indicator may come on. For more information
on the service engine soon indicator, refer toWarning lamps and
indicatorsin theInstrument Clusterchapter.
