Note:
Your electrical source must meet
certain requirements for the high-voltage
batteries to charge. The AC outlet must be
a three-prong 110-120 volt AC outlet that is
properly grounded, 15– 20 amps (or greater),
and in good condition. You must use a
dedicated line, which means you cannot
have other appliances connected to the
same circuit. If you do not use a dedicated
circuit, the circuit breaker could trip or open.
If you do not have a dedicated circuit,
contact a licensed professional electrician
for proper installation.
Make sure that the 120– volt convenience
cord is completely unwound before
charging. Always plug the cord into the AC
outlet before connecting the charging
coupler into the charge port receptacle of
your vehicle. The 120– volt convenience
cord inline control box has three indicator
lights that represent the charging status,
power, charge and fault.
Power (green light) — this indicator
lights up when you plug the cord into the
AC wall outlet.
Charge (green light) —
indicates status
of charging:
• No light means you have not connected
the cord to the vehicle.
• Blinking light means that the charging
is in process.
• Solid light means you have connected
the cord, but the vehicle is not charging.
Fault (red triangle light) —
Lights up in
case of a detected failure. No charging is
possible:
• Blinking red triangle light – means that
the 120– volt convenience cord is trying
to reset the failure and could restart
the charging cycle.
• Solid red triangle light – means that
the fault is permanent. You need to
unplug the cord and then plug it back
in to reset the fault. If the fault persists,
contact your authorized dealer. Charge Port
The charge port is located between the
front left side door and front left wheel
well. There is an indentation located on
the charge port door. Press in and release
with your thumb to open and close the
door.
Note:
Do not force the charge port door
open or closed. Forcing the door open or
closed will damage the charge port.
The light ring located around the charge
port indicates the charge status of the
high-voltage battery in your vehicle.
Divided into four quadrants, the charge
port light ring displays the state of charge
in 25 percent increments.
There is a cord acknowledgment feature
that activates when you initiate a charge
cycle. The four light quadrants will each
individually flash clockwise starting with
the top right light and ending with the top
left, two full times, confirming the system
detects the charging coupler.
Use your key fob to view the charge status
of your vehicle at any time by pressing the
unlock button. The light ring will light up
the corresponding quadrant(s) so that the
current state of charge can be determined.
If the charge is below 25 percent, the light
ring will not light. Do not forget to press the
lock button on your key fob to re-lock your
vehicle.

C-MAX (CCG) High Voltage BatteryE144779

When waiting to charge (not actively
charging), the light ring will indicate the
present state of charge of the high voltage
battery as follows:
•
When the top right quadrant light is off,
the charge is between 0– 25 percent.
• When the top right quadrant light is on
and the bottom right quadrant is off,
the charge is between 25–50 percent.
• When both right side quadrant lights
are on and the bottom left quadrant is
off, the charge is between 50– 75
percent.
• When three quadrant lights are on and
the top left quadrant is off, the charge
is between 75– 100 percent.
• When all lights on the entire ring are
on, the charge is 100 percent.
Note: When the vehicle is waiting to charge,
the light ring will turn off one minute after
displaying the present state of charge. When
the vehicle automatically begins charging,
the light ring will turn on and display how
far along the charge is per the section above.
Note: If the system detects a vehicle
charging system fault at any point in a
charge cycle, the entire light ring will flash
continuously for one minute and then turn
off. If this happens, unplug the charging
coupler and then plug it back into the charge
port receptacle. If the problem persists,
contact your authorized dealer.
You can modify the light ring lighting
conditions. See Charge Port Light Ring
Settings in the MyFord Touch section. See
MyFord Touch ™ (page 322).

CHANGING THE 12V BATTERY
WARNINGS
Batteries normally produce explosive
gases which can cause personal
injury. Therefore, do not allow
flames, sparks or lighted substances to
come near the battery. When working near
the battery, always shield your face and
protect your eyes. Always provide proper
ventilation. When lifting a plastic-cased battery,
excessive pressure on the end walls
could cause acid to flow through the
vent caps, resulting in personal injury and
damage to the vehicle or battery. Lift the
battery with a battery carrier or with your
hands on opposite corners. Keep batteries out of reach of
children. Batteries contain sulfuric
acid. Avoid contact with skin, eyes or
clothing. Shield your eyes when working
near the battery to protect against possible
splashing of acid solution. In case of acid
contact with skin or eyes, flush
immediately with water for a minimum of
15 minutes and get prompt medical
attention. If acid is swallowed, call a
physician immediately. Your vehicle is equipped with a
Motorcraft® maintenance-free battery
which normally does not require additional
water during its life of service.
Note:
If your battery has a cover/shield,
make sure it is reinstalled after the battery
has been cleaned or replaced.
Note: See an authorized dealer for low
voltage battery access, testing, or
replacement. When a low voltage battery replacement
is necessary, see an authorized dealer to
replace the low voltage battery with a Ford
recommended replacement low voltage
battery that matches the electrical
requirements of the vehicle
To ensure proper operation of the battery
management system (BMS), do not allow
a technician to connect any electrical
device ground connection directly to the
low voltage battery negative post. A
connection at the low voltage battery
negative post can cause inaccurate
measurements of the battery condition
and potential incorrect system operation.
Note:
If a person adds electrical or
electronic accessories or components to the
vehicle, the accessories or components may
adversely affect the low voltage battery
performance and durability and may also
affect the performance of other electrical
systems in the vehicle.
For longer, trouble-free operation, keep the
top of the battery clean and dry. Also,
make certain the battery cables are always
tightly fastened to the battery terminals.
If you see any corrosion on the battery or
terminals, remove the cables from the
terminals and clean with a wire brush. You
can neutralize the acid with a solution of
baking soda and water.
When a battery replacement is required,
the battery should only be replaced with
a Ford recommended replacement battery
that matches the electrical requirements
of the vehicle.
Because your vehicle ’s engine is
electronically-controlled by a computer,
some engine control settings are
maintained by power from the low voltage
battery. Some engine computer settings,
like the idle trim and fuel trim strategy,
optimize the driveability and performance
of the engine. Some other computer
settings, like the clock and radio station
218
C-MAX (CCG) Maintenance

presets, are also maintained in memory by
power from the low voltage battery. When
a technician disconnects and connects the
low voltage battery, these settings are
erased. Complete the following procedure
in order to restore the settings:
1. With the vehicle at a complete stop,
set the parking brake.
2. Shift the transmission into P.
3. Turn off all accessories.
4. Step on the brake pedal and start the vehicle.
5. Run the engine until it reaches normal operating temperature. While the
engine is warming up, complete the
following: Reset the clock. See Audio
System (page 272). Reset the power
windows bounce-back feature. See
Windows and Mirrors
(page 76).
Reset the radio station presets. See
Audio System
(page 272).
6. Allow the engine to idle for at least one
minute. If the engine turns off, step on
the accelerator to start the engine.
7. While the engine is running, step on the
brake pedal and shift the transmission
to N.
8. Allow the engine to run for at least one
minute by pressing on the accelerator
pedal.
9. Drive the vehicle at least 10 miles (16 kilometers) to completely relearn the
idle and fuel trim strategy.
Note: If you do not allow the engine to
relearn the idle and fuel trim strategy, the
idle quality of your vehicle may be adversely
affected until the engine computer
eventually relearns the idle trim and fuel
trim strategy. Note:
Always dispose of automotive
batteries in a responsible manner. Follow
your local authorized standards for disposal.
Call your local authorized recycling center
to find out more about recycling automotive
batteries.
Note: It is recommended that the negative
battery cable terminal be disconnected from
the battery if you plan to store your vehicle
for an extended period of time.
CHECKING THE WIPER
BLADES Run the tip of your fingers over the edge of
the blade to check for roughness.
Clean the wiper blades with washer fluid
or water applied with a soft sponge or
cloth.
CHANGING THE WIPER
BLADES
Note:
Use the service position in winter to
provide easier access to the front wiper
blades for freeing them from snow and ice.
The front wipers will not return to their
normal position as soon as you switch on
the ignition. The front wipers will stay in the
service position when you switch the ignition
on or start the engine. Switch on the front
wipers to any mode, then switch off the
front wipers to bring the front wipers back

4. On the wall or screen you will observe
a flat zone of high intensity light
located at the top of the right hand
portion of the beam pattern. If the top
edge of the high intensity light zone is
not at the horizontal reference line, the
headlamp will need to be adjusted. 5. Locate the vertical adjuster on each
headlamp. Using a Phillips #2
screwdriver, turn the adjuster either
clockwise or counterclockwise in order
to aim the headlamp. The horizontal
edge of the brighter light should touch
the horizontal reference line.
6. Close the hood and turn off the lamps.
Horizontal Aim Adjustment
Horizontal aim is not required for this
vehicle and is non-adjustable. REMOVING A HEADLAMP
1. Make sure the headlamp control is in
the off position and open the hood.
2. Remove the two screws from the headlamp assembly.
3. Carefully pull the headlamp assembly as far as possible towards the front of
the vehicle to disengage it from the
lower fixing point.

CHANGING A BULB
Lamp Assembly Condensation
Exterior lamps are vented to
accommodate normal changes in pressure.
Condensation can be a natural by-product
of this design. When moist air enters the
lamp assembly through the vents, there is
a possibility that condensation can occur
when the temperature is cold. When
normal condensation occurs, a thin film of
mist can form on the interior of the lens.
The thin mist eventually clears and exits
through the vents during normal operation.
Clearing time may take as long as 48 hours
under dry weather conditions
Examples of acceptable condensation are:
222

E142468

•
Presence of thin mist (no streaks, drip
marks or droplets).
• Fine mist covers less than 50% of the
lens.
Examples of unacceptable moisture
(usually caused by a lamp water leak) are:
• Water puddle inside the lamp.
• Large water droplets, drip marks or
streaks present on the interior of the
lens.
Take your vehicle to a dealer for service if
any of the above conditions of
unacceptable moisture are present.
Replacing Headlamp Bulbs WARNING
Handle a halogen headlamp bulb
carefully and keep out of children
’s
reach. Grasp the bulb by only its
plastic base and do not touch the glass.
