2014 FORD FUSION HYBRID battery

High voltage battery power represents your high-voltage battery. A circle
illuminates around the node when the high-voltage battery is receiving power
from regenerative braking, engine charging or external charging (when you plug
it in). The higher the power going into the high-voltage battery, the larger the
circle around this node.G
Fuel represents the fuel tank in the vehicle.H
Fuel-to-engine flow shows flow from the fuel tank to the engine when the
engine is on and using fuel (there are some cases where the engine is on, but
not using any fuel). When the engine is on, but not using fuel, the engine node
is active, but the fuel flow path is off. An example of this is when your foot is
off the accelerator pedal and the vehicle is traveling at a high speed.I
Engine On due to provides you with the reason(s) the gasoline engine is on.
When the gasoline engine is off, this display does not appear. Engine On due
to reasons displayed by the system are in a chart following this list.J
Motor-to-engine flow shows the direction of power flow between the engine
and the electric motor. The direction indicates if the engine is providing power
to the high-voltage electrical system, or if the high-voltage electrical system is
providing power to control or start the engine.K
Engine power represents the gasoline engine. It illuminates only when the
gasoline engine is on. The higher the engine power is, the larger the circle around
this node.L
Engine-to-wheels flow shows the direction of the power flow between the
engine and the wheels.M
Drive power represents the power going to the wheels. The higher the wheel
power is, the larger the circle around this node. When the engine is off, drive
power is shown in blue. When the engine is on, drive power is shown in grey.N 1
The battery-to-motor flow includes
battery power the vehicle is using for
acceleration. It does not include energy the
vehicle is using for accessories (such as air
conditioning, headlights and radio). This
screen displays accessories and climate
usage separately. 2
Accessories indicates electrical power
demands from your vehicle’s accessory
systems. Accessories use power but do not
contribute to making the vehicle move. The
power flow displays power usage from the
climate control system and other
accessories separately. 3
The climate control system may
determine A/C is necessary even when you
turn it off. In this case, you may see some
climate power when the A/C is off.

Setting 911 Assist On E142608
If your vehicle is equipped with
Navigation, touch the i
(Information) button to access
these features. If your vehicle is not
equipped with Navigation, touch the corner
of the touchscreen with the green tab.
Touch Apps > 911 Assist , then select On .E142607
You can also access 911 Assist
by:
• Pressing the Settings icon > Settings
> Phone > 911 Assist , or
• Pressing the Settings icon > Help > 911
Assist .
To make sure that 911 Assist works
properly:
• SYNC must be powered and working
properly at the time of the incident and
throughout feature activation and use.
• The 911 Assist feature must be set on
prior to the incident.
• You must pair and connect a
Bluetooth-enabled and compatible
phone to SYNC.
• A connected Bluetooth-enabled phone
must have the ability to make and
maintain an outgoing call at the time
of the incident.
• A connected Bluetooth-enabled phone
must have adequate network coverage,
battery power and signal strength.
• The vehicle must have battery power
and be located in the United States,
Canada or in a territory in which 911 is
the emergency number. In the Event of a Crash
Not all crashes deploy an airbag or activate
the fuel pump shut-off (which would
trigger 911 Assist); however, SYNC tries to
contact emergency services if 911 Assist
triggers. If a connected phone sustains
damage or loses connection to SYNC,
SYNC searches for, and tries to connect
to, any available previously paired phone
and tries to make the call to 911.
Before making the call:
• SYNC provides a short window of time
(about 10 seconds) to cancel the call.
If you fail to cancel the call, SYNC
attempts to dial 911.
• SYNC says the following, or a similar
message: "SYNC will attempt to call
911, to cancel the call, press Cancel on
your screen or press and hold the
phone button on your steering wheel."
If you do not cancel the call, and SYNC
makes a successful call, a pre-recorded
message plays for the 911 operator, and
then the occupant(s) in your vehicle is able
to talk with the operator. Be prepared to
provide your name, phone number and
location immediately, because not all 911
systems are capable of receiving this
information electronically.
911 Assist May Not Work If
• Your cellular phone or 911 Assist
hardware sustains damage in a crash.
• The vehicle's battery or the SYNC
system has no power.
• The phone(s) thrown from your vehicle
are the ones paired and connected to
the system.

All Vehicles
Your vehicle is very sophisticated and built
with multiple, complex, performance
systems. Every manufacturer develops
these systems using different
specifications and performance features.
That is why it is important to rely upon your
dealership to properly diagnose and repair
your vehicle.
Ford Motor Company has recommended
maintenance intervals for various parts
and component systems based upon
engineering testing. Ford Motor Company
relies upon this testing to determine the
most appropriate mileage for replacement
of oils and fluids to protect your vehicle at
the lowest overall cost to you and
recommends against maintenance
schedules that deviate from the scheduled
maintenance information.
We strongly recommend the use of only
genuine Ford, Motorcraft or
Ford-authorized re-manufactured
replacement parts engineered for your
vehicle.
Additives and Chemicals
This owner's manual and the Ford
Workshop Manual list the recommended
additives and chemicals for your vehicle.
We do not recommend using chemicals or
additives not approved by us as part of
your vehicle’s normal maintenance. Please
consult your warranty information.
445Scheduled Maintenance

Oils, Fluids and Flushing
In many cases, fluid discoloration is a
normal operating characteristic and, by
itself, does not necessarily indicate a
concern or that the fluid needs to be
changed. However, a qualified expert, such
as the factory-trained technicians at your
dealership, should inspect discolored fluids
that also show signs of overheating or
foreign material contamination
immediately. Make sure to change your vehicle’s oils and
fluids at the specified intervals or in
conjunction with a repair. Flushing is a
viable way to change fluid for many vehicle
sub-systems during scheduled
maintenance. It is critical that systems are
flushed only with new fluid that is the same
as that required to fill and operate the
system or using a Ford-approved flushing
chemical.
Owner Checks and Services Make sure you perform the following basic
maintenance checks and inspections every
month or at six-month intervals.Check every month
Engine oil level.
Function of all interior and exterior lights.
Tires (including spare) for wear and proper pressure.
Windshield washer fluid level.
Check every six months
Battery connections. Clean if necessary.
Body and door drain holes for obstructions. Clean if necessary.
Cooling system fluid level and coolant strength.
Door weatherstrips for wear. Lubricate if necessary.
Hinges, latches and outside locks for proper operation. Lubricate if necessary.
Parking brake for proper operation.
Safety belts and seat latches for wear and function.
Safety warning lamps (brake, ABS, airbag and safety belt) for operation.
Washer spray and wiper operation. Clean or replace blades as necessary.
446Scheduled Maintenance

Check Every 12 Months (Fusion Energi
Plug-in Hybrid Only)
Inspect the engine oil filter for signs of
damage such as rust, paint blistering,
scratches or dents. If any of these
conditions are present, replace the filter.
See Normal Scheduled Maintenance
(page 448). Multi-point Inspection In order to keep your vehicle running right,
it is important to have the systems on your
vehicle checked regularly. This can help
identify potential issues and prevent major
problems. We recommend having the
following multi-point inspection performed
at every scheduled maintenance interval
to help make sure your vehicle keeps
running great.Multi-point inspection
Hazard warning system operationAccessory drive belt(s)
Horn operationBattery performance
Radiator, cooler, heater and A/C hosesEngine air filter
