2014 FORD C MAX HYBRID cruise control

ECO Cruise Control
This feature saves vehicle energy by
relaxing acceleration compared to
standard cruise control. For example, your
vehicle may temporarily lose speed when
going uphill.
ECO will appear in the
information display when ECO cruise
control is activated. It can be switched on
or off in the information display. See
General Information
(page 88).

BREAKING-IN
You need to break in new tires for
approximately 300 miles (480
kilometers). During this time, your vehicle
may exhibit some unusual driving
characteristics. The engine also needs to
break in. Avoid hard accelerations and
driving too fast for the first 1000 miles
(1600 kilometers). If possible, avoid
carrying heavy loads up steep grades
during the break-in period.
ECONOMICAL DRIVING
Several things affect your fuel economy:
•
How you drive your vehicle
• How you maintain your vehicle
• The conditions you drive your vehicle
in
You may improve your fuel economy by
keeping these things in mind:
• Avoid constant accelerating in order to
change lanes and get around other
vehicles.
• Drive your vehicle at reasonable
speeds. Traveling at 65 miles per hour
(105 kilometers per hour) uses about
15 percent less fuel than traveling at 75
miles per hour (121 kilometers per
hour).
• Drive at steady speeds without
stopping.
• Anticipate stops. Slowing down your
vehicle may eliminate the need to stop.
• Keep the tires properly inflated and use
only the recommended size.
• Turn off the heater if you do not need
it. When you have the heater on, keep
it at the lowest blower and
temperature setting necessary to be
comfortable. •
When it is cold outside, park in a sunny
location or climate-controlled
environment. This may save fuel by
reducing the energy needed to heat the
cabin.
• Turn off the air conditioning if you do
not need it. When you have the air
conditioning on, keep it at the lowest
blower and highest temperature
setting necessary to be comfortable.
• When it is hot or sunny outside, parking
in a shaded or climate-controlled
environment will save fuel by reducing
the energy needed to cool the cabin.
• For the C-Max Energi, use
preconditioning to improve your fuel
economy. For more information on
preconditioning, See High Voltage
Battery (page 146).
• Turn off the heated seats if you are not
using them.
• Turn off the defroster when you no
longer need it for visibility, turning it off
will help you improve your fuel
economy.
• For the C-Max Energi, plug in and
recharge the high voltage battery
whenever possible.
• Use ECO Cruise Control, especially in
hilly terrain. For information on
enabling eco-cruise, See
Cruise
Control (page 171).
• Use low gear
L shift position when
enhanced engine braking is needed.
Otherwise, use drive gear
D shift
position.
• Combine errands and minimize
stop-and-go driving. A warmed up
engine works more efficiently. When
running errands, go to the furthest
destination first and then work your
way back home.
• Close the windows for high-speed
driving.
