2014 FORD FUSION HYBRID ECO mode

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.
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 - 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,
but the hybrid system will attempt to
control the level to approximately the
middle of the gauge under most driving
conditions.
• 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.

• 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 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 - 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:
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.
• Energy 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.

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 157).

88Information Displays

• Vehicle Range — Indicates the estimated distance the vehicle will travel with the
energy currently available. For Hybrid, the vehicle range estimate is based on the fuel
remaining in the gasoline tank. For Energi, the total estimated range equals the range
available in Hybrid Mode fueled by gasoline, plus the electric range available in Plug-in
Power Mode. Changes in driving pattern may cause the values to vary.
• Inform — Inform shows the fuel level, battery display and average fuel economy, with
options available for the Battery Display and an Instantaneous Fuel Economy gauge.
When the vehicle is operating on battery power only with the engine off, EV is displayed.
• Enlighten — Enlighten displays power demand in addition to the typical information
and options from Inform. The Instantaneous Fuel Economy gauge will be displayed
by default. When the vehicle is operating on battery power only with the engine off,
EV is displayed and the gauge fill is shown in blue. When both the engine and high
voltage battery are providing power the gauge fill is white.
• Engage — Engage replaces the power demand gauge from Enlighten with separate
gauges for engine power and high voltage battery power. The engine power gauge
fill is white and the high voltage battery power gauge fill is blue. When the vehicle is
operating on battery power only with the engine off, EV is displayed.
• Empower — Empower adds an engine on/off threshold to the power demand gauge
from Enlighten. The threshold is shown as a blue double outline. The gauge is designed
to show you how close you are to the gasoline engine on/off threshold and how much
power you are requesting based on how far you press the accelerator pedal.
When power demand is below the threshold the vehicle is operating on battery power
only with the engine off, EV is displayed and the gauge fill is shown in blue.
When power demand exceeds the threshold both the engine and the high voltage battery
provide power and the gauge fill is white.
When power demand surpasses the amber indicator, this level of demand and associated
fuel economy are shown in amber.
Note: You can reset your average fuel economy by pressing and holding the OK button on
the left hand steering wheel controls.
MyView — You can choose what to display in this view. Selecting Change MyView in the
Options menu allows you to scroll through two columns of content choices.
• Accessory Power— Indicates electrical power demands from your vehicle’s accessory
systems. Accessories use power but do not contribute to propelling the vehicle. The
gauge separately displays power demand in kilowatts (kW) for climate and other
accessories.
Climate includes the power being used by high voltage climate control components such
as the electric A/C compressor and the electric heater (Energi vehicles only)
Other includes all power being used by the low voltage accessories (cabin fans, headlights,
heated seats, etc.).
91Information Displays

• Coolant Temp – Indicates engine coolant temperature. At normal operating
temperature, the level indicator will be white and will be in the normal range (between
H and C). If the engine coolant temperature exceeds the normal range, the level
indicator will change to red to indicate that the engine is overheating. Stop the vehicle
as soon as safely possible, turn off the vehicle and let the engine cool.
The thermometer indicator next to the gauge will illuminate in blue or white to indicate
the following:
• Blue thermometer - This indicates that the hybrid system is not warm enough to allow
EV operation. The gasoline engine will typically run continuously when the indicator
is blue.
Note: During silent key start mode, the thermometer indicator will be blue, but the gasoline
engine will not run. This is the result of the vehicle computer allowing the engine to be cooler
during the silent key start period. This is normal operation and does not indicate a problem
with your vehicle. After the first engine start the indicator will turn white when the gasoline
engine is warm enough to turn off.
• White thermometer - This indicates that the hybrid system is warm enough to allow
EV operation. If the vehicle operates on battery power long enough, it is possible that
the gasoline engine may need to run to keep the system warm. In this case, the
thermometer indicator will revert back to blue.
• Tach rpm x 1000 — When the gasoline engine is running, the tachometer gauge
displays the engine speed in revolutions per minute (RPM). When the vehicle is
operating on battery power only with the engine off, EV is displayed and the tachometer
is greyed out.
Note: The trip data, and average fuel economy cannot be reset in MyView.
Energy Use (Energi only) - Energy Use
provides an energy use gauge and a
climate power gauge in addition to fuel
level and battery display. When you select
EV Now operation this screen will
automatically be shown. You can press OK
to enable the engine when viewing this
screen during EV Now operation. See
Hybrid Electric Vehicle (page 142).
• Consumption Gauge: Your current
present energy use per distance
traveled is represented by the white
line that moves up and down in the
gauge. A higher line means you are
using more energy (lower is better).
Your energy use includes input from
the accelerator pedal as well as the
accessories, such as Climate Control. When operating in EV Now a blue cup
shape is shown around the gauge. This
represents the maximum energy usage you
can maintain in order to achieve the
estimated electric range shown on the
battery gauge. Keep your current energy
use mostly within the cup while driving and
you should achieve your electric range
estimate.
• Climate Power Gauge: Indicates high
voltage electrical power demand from
you vehicle’s high voltage climate
control components such as the
electric A/C compressor and the
electric heater. These components use
power but do not contribute to
propelling the vehicle. The gauge
displays power demand in kilowatts
(kW).
