2013 LINCOLN MKZ HYBRID fuel

Right Information Display
Efficiency Leaves
Efficiency leaves indicate short term
driving efficiency. The more leaves
and vines that are displayed, the
better your fuel economy. Leaves and
vines will occasionally appear and
disappear to indicate a change in
driving efficiency.
Note:
The efficiency leaves display can
be impacted by your use of brakes,
accelerator and accessories, as well as
environmental conditions such as hills
and weather.
Flowers
Flowers appear on the efficiency
leaves screen in addition to the leaves
and vines. The flowers indicate long
term driving efficiency. The more
flowers that are displayed, the more
efficiently you have driven. Once
earned, the flowers will remain unless
reset. The flowers, along with the
vehicle's lifetime fuel economy, can
be reset through the information
display. See General Information
(page 103).
Common Displays
Note: Battery gauge information can
be individually selected on or off
through Battery Display in the Options
sub-menu. From any main display a
right arrow press on the steering wheel
controls will take you to the options
sub-menu. Battery Gauge:
The high-voltage battery gauge
appears on the right side of the left
information display screen. This
provides Charge Fill (State of Charge),
Charge Assist and Regen Display.
Charge Fill (Hybrid Mode)
The fill level, or State of Charge
indicates the amount of energy stored
in the high-voltage battery as a
percent of total energy capacity. The
level will increase or decrease as the
battery charges and discharges during
normal operation, but the hybrid
system will attempt to control the
level to approximately the middle of
the gauge under most driving
conditions.
Charge Assist
The up and down arrows provide
information about the energy going
into and out of the high-voltage
battery. The up arrow above the
battery indicates battery charging
such as from regenerative braking.
The down arrow below the battery
indicates battery discharging to
provide power for propulsion or
vehicle accessories.
Regen Display
A circular arrow symbol appears in the
center of the Battery Gauge when
energy is being recaptured through
the regenerative braking system.

Fuel Gauge:
The fuel gauge will indicate
approximately how much fuel is left
in the fuel tank. The fuel gauge may
vary slightly when your vehicle is
moving or on a gradient. The arrow
adjacent to the fuel pump symbol
indicates on which side of the vehicle
the fuel filler door is located.
Brake Coach Display:
The Brake Coach appears after the
vehicle has come to a stop. It coaches
you to brake in a manner which
maximizes the amount of energy
returned through the regenerative
braking system. The percent displayed
is an indication of the regenerative
braking efficiency with 100%
representing the maximum amount
of energy recovery.
Trip Summary and Lifetime
Summary:
These will be displayed upon shutting
off the vehicle. Trip Summary will
appear first, then Lifetime Summary
will be displayed. You can toggle
between these displays using the up
and down arrow keys on the left hand
steering wheel controls.
Trip Summary data is from the last
power cycle, while Lifetime Summary
data is cumulative from the last
Lifetime Summary reset done through
the Settings menu in the information
display screen.
Trip Summary:
•
Distance- The total distance
traveled, distance traveled on
battery power only (EV distance)
and Regen distance are displayed.
Regen distance is the estimated
range gained from energy
recaptured through regenerative
braking.
• Energy Use- The average fuel
economy and total fuel used are
displayed.
• Brake Score- The average
percentage of braking energy
recaptured and returned to the
high-voltage battery through
regenerative braking. The brake
score will be shown in blue if
greater than (better than) the
lifetime brake score.
Lifetime Summary:
• Distance- The distance traveled
on battery power only (EV
distance) and Regen distance are
displayed. Regen distance is the
estimated range gained from
energy recaptured through
regenerative braking.
• Energy Use- The average fuel
economy and total fuel used are
displayed.
• Brake Score- The average
percentage of braking energy
recaptured and returned to the
high-voltage battery through
regenerative braking.

Grade Assist (If Equipped)
It will illuminate when the
grade assist function has
been turned on.
Heads Up Display
(If Equipped) A red beam of lights will
illuminate on the windshield
in certain instances when
using adaptive cruise control and/or
the collision warning system. It will
also illuminate momentarily when you
start your vehicle to make sure the
display works.
High Beam It will illuminate when you
switch the high beam
headlamps on. It will flash
when you use the headlamp flasher.
Hood Ajar Displays when the ignition is
on and the hood is not
completely closed.
Lane Keeping Aid
(If Equipped) Illuminates when the lane
keeping system is activated.
Low Fuel Level It will illuminate when the
fuel level is low or the fuel
tank is nearly empty. Refuel
as soon as possible. Low Tire Pressure Warning It will illuminate when your
tire pressure is low. If the
lamp remains on with the
engine running or when driving, check
your tire pressure as soon as possible.
It will also illuminate momentarily
when you switch the ignition on to
confirm the lamp is functional. If it
does not illuminate when you switch
the ignition on, or begins to flash at
any time, have the system checked by
your authorized dealer.
Low Washer Fluid It will illuminate when the
windshield washer fluid id
low.
Parking Lamps It will illuminate when you
switch the parking lamps on.
Powertrain Fault Illuminates when a
powertrain fault has been
detected. Contact your
authorized dealer as soon as possible.
Ready to Drive It will illuminate once the
vehicle has been switched on
and is ready to drive. A
corresponding message may display
stating ready to drive or a message
regarding budget if a charge point has
not been entered.

Service Engine Soon
If the service engine soon
indicator light stays
illuminated after the engine
is started, it indicates that the On
Board Diagnostics system (OBD) has
detected a malfunction of the vehicle
emissions control system. Refer to On
board diagnostics (OBD) in the Fuel
and Refueling chapter for more
information about having your vehicle
serviced. See Emission Control
System (page 179).
If the light is blinking, engine misfire is
occurring which could damage your
catalytic converter. Drive in a
moderate fashion (avoid heavy
acceleration and deceleration) and
have your vehicle serviced
immediately.
Note: Under engine misfire conditions,
excessive exhaust temperatures could
damage the catalytic converter or other
vehicle components.
The service engine soon indicator light
illuminates when the ignition is first
turned on prior to engine start to
check the bulb and to indicate
whether the vehicle is ready for
Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) testing.
Normally, the service engine soon light
will stay on until the engine is cranked,
then turn itself off if no malfunctions
are present. However, if after 15
seconds the service engine soon light
blinks eight times, it means that the
vehicle is not ready for I/M testing.
See
Emission Control System
(page 179). Stability Control It will flash when the system
is active. If it remains
illuminated or does not
illuminate when you switch the
ignition on, this indicates a
malfunction. During a malfunction the
system will switch off. Have the
system checked by your authorized
dealer immediately.
See Using
Stability Control (page 198).
Stability Control Off It will illuminate when you
switch the system off. It will
go out when you switch the
system back on or when you switch
the ignition off.
See Using Stability
Control (page 198).
Stop Safely Indicates electrical
component fault/failure that
will cause the vehicle to
shutdown or enter into a limited
operating mode. A message may also
display.
Trunk Ajar Displays when the ignition is
on and the trunk is not
completely closed.
