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.

Common Displays
Fuel Economy Displays:
Displays your average and instantaneous
fuel economy on most Display Mode
screens.
Note:
You can reset your average fuel
economy by pressing and holding the OK
button on the left hand steering wheel
controls. Average fuel economy cannot be
reset while on the MyView screen.
• Average Fuel Economy - is
continuously averaged since the last
reset. You can reset your average fuel
economy by pressing and holding the
OK button on the left hand steering
wheel controls. For Energi vehicles both
Hybrid and Plug-in Power mode
operation will be included in the
calculation.
• Instantaneous Fuel Economy - If your
instantaneous fuel economy is greater
than the maximum value displayed, a
+ sign will be shown next to the
maximum scale number. When the
vehicle is operating on battery power
only, EV is displayed and the gauge fill
is shown in blue.
Battery Gauge:
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.
Note: For Energi vehicles there are two
versions of the battery gauge. When the
vehicle is in Hybrid Mode the information is
shown with a simple battery graphic. When
in Plug-in Power Mode an enhanced battery
graphic is provided and available electric
range is added to the display. The high voltage battery gauge appears
on the right side of the 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.
• Charge Fill (Energi Plug-in Power
Mode) - The fill level indicates the
amount of energy stored in the high
voltage battery which is available for
Plug-in Power Mode. A full fill
represents the total amount of energy
you can get from an external charge
(plugging your vehicle in). When the fill
reaches empty your vehicle will
automatically enter Hybrid Mode.
Note: The Charge Fill is always shown for
Plug-in Power Mode, even if Charge Fill is
not selected under Battery Display in the
Options sub-menu.

C-MAX (CCG) Instrument Cluster

•
Electric Range (Energi Plug-in Power
Mode) - The electric range estimate is
personalized to the driver's key. The
estimate is based on the amount of
energy presently available in the high
voltage battery and your typical energy
usage while driving. This includes your
drive habits as well as your use of
accessories such as Climate Control.
The available battery energy refers to
the energy gained from charging the
battery while plugged in.
• 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 - When stepping on the
brake pedal, 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 your
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:
Trip Summary is displayed upon shutting
off your vehicle. The data is calculated over
the last on and off cycle.
•
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.
• Fuel Use - The average fuel economy
and total fuel used are displayed. In
addition for Energi, the total electrical
energy used while in Plug-in Power
Mode is displayed in kilowatt hours
(kWh).
• Brake Score - The average percentage
of braking energy recaptured and
returned to the high voltage battery
through regenerative braking.
WARNING LAMPS AND
INDICATORS
The following warning lamps and
indicators will alert you to a vehicle
condition that may become serious. Some

it will not allow you to operate the
accelerator pedal. If this happens, press the
brake pedal and release it. This will activate
limp home vehicle operation. In limp home
vehicle operation, your vehicle will
accelerate in a controlled manner up to a

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 143).
If the light is blinking, engine misfire is
occurring which could damage your

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 lights
when you first switch on the ignition prior
to engine start to check the bulb and to
indicate whether the vehicle is ready for
Inspection and Maintenance testing. Normally, the service engine soon light will
stay on until you switch on the engine, 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
Inspection and Maintenance testing. See
Emission Control System
(page 143).
Stability Control Lights when the system is active.
If it remains on or does not light
when you switch the ignition on,
this indicates a malfunction. During a
malfunction, the system will turn off. Have
