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.

Driving while distracted can result in loss of vehicle control, accident and injury. Ford Motor Company strongly recommends that drivers use extreme caution when using any device or feature that may take their focus off the road. Your primary responsibility is the safe operation of the vehicle. We recommend against the use of any hand-held device while driving, encourage the use of voice-operated systems when possible and that you become aware of applicable state and local laws that may affect the use of electronic devices while driving.
WARNING
TWO THOUSAND & THIRTEEN
FUSION ENERGI

Fuel Tank
Capacity/Fuel Info
Your vehicle has a fuel tank capacity of 14.0 gallons (53 liters). Use only “Regular” unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher. Do not use E85 fuels because your vehicle is not designed to run on fuels with more than 15% ethanol.
Transmission
Your plug-in hybrid's transmission is designed to work seamlessly, so you may not feel shift changes as you normally would in a gasoline-powered vehicle; however, you may feel the transition when the system changes from electric vehicle (EV) mode to gas mode. This is normal. Since your engine speed is controlled by the transmission, it may seem elevated at times. This is also normal operation, as it helps deliver fuel efficiency and performance.
Easy Fuel® System
Unlock the fuel door by pressing the fuel button located to the right of your transmission shifter lever—it could be up to 15 seconds before the fuel door opens. Insert the fuel nozzle and begin fueling. Wait 10 seconds after the nozzle is shut off before you remove it from the vehicle. This allows the residual fuel to drain into the tank.
NOTE When using a portable fuel container, only use the funnel that comes with your vehicle. Do not use aftermarket funnels as they will not work with the Easy Fuel System, and may cause damage. Refer to the Fuel and Refueling chapter of your Owner's
Manual for more information.
ESSENTIAL FEATURES
Towing Your Fusion Energi
Towing your vehicle behind an RV or any other vehicle may be limited. Refer to Towing the Vehicle on Four Wheels in the Towing chapter of your Owner's Manual.

Tire Mobility Kit
Fusion Energi is equipped with a tire mobility kit that is located under the front passenger seat. It consists of an air compressor to reinflate the tire and a sealing compound in a canister that will seal most punctures caused by nails or similar objects. Refer to the Wheels and Tires chapter of your Owner’s Manual for more details.
Tire Pressure
Monitoring System
Your vehicle illuminates a low tire pressure warning light in your instrument cluster when one or more of your tires are significantly underinflated. If this happens, stop and check your tires as soon as possible, then inflate them to the proper pressure. Refer to the Inflating Your Tires section in the Wheels and Tires chapter of your Owner’s Manual for more information.
Electric Parking Brake
This feature replaces the conventional handbrake. The operating switch is located on the center console, to the left of the gearshift lever. To apply the electric parking brake, pull the switch up. The brake system warning lamp will illuminate to confirm that the electric parking brake has been applied.
You can release the electric parking brake manually by turning the ignition on, pressing the brake pedal and then pressing the electric parking brake switch.

Fuel Freshness Mode
If you operate your vehicle mainly in plug-in power mode, the gasoline in your tank eventually becomes old. Old fuel can damage the engine and fuel system. To prevent the fuel from becoming old, your vehicle will automatically enter fuel freshness mode that causes the gasoline engine to run in order to consume the fuel in the fuel tank. Refer to the Fuel and Refueling chapter of your Owner's Manual for more information.

Sounds a warning tone if there is an obstacle near the vehicle's rear bumper when the vehicle is in R (Reverse) and is traveling less than 3 mph (5 km/h), or when the vehicle is in any gear other than P (Park) or N (Neutral), and is traveling less than 6 mph (10 km/h). The warning tone will increase in frequency as the object gets closer.

Prevents unintentional drifting out of your lane through various driver alerts and steering corrections toward the center of the lane. Set your system settings as desired by Mode, Sensitivity and Intensity from your information displays screen.

If no correction is made, warnings will continue to alert the driver. Press OK on the steering wheel to clear the warning.

You may hear a pulsing noise when just one of the windows is open. Lower the opposite window slightly to reduce this noise. Press the switch to open the window; lift the switch to close the window.
Blind Spot Information System (BLIS®)
with Cross Traffic Alert (CTA)*

and CTA will display a yellow indicator light in your exterior mirrors and the CTA will also sound tones and display messages to warn you which direction vehicles are approaching. Refer to the Driving Aids chapter in your Owner’s Manual for more information.
