86Information 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.).

• Fuel History: This view from left to right starts with the instantaneous fuel economy
gauge and adds historical fuel economy data. The data is represented as an average
for time intervals of either 1, 2 or 6 minutes, with the left most interval being the most
recent. Total time for the 5 intervals is shown at the bottom of the view. Intervals
shown in grey color are from the previous drive.
Note: You can reset your average fuel economy by pressing and holding the OK button on
the left hand steering wheel controls.
• Coach: This view provides a comparison of your recent Acceleration, Braking and
Cruising behavior to what is recommended for most efficient use of energy under
present conditions. The horizontal bars fill from left to right with best behavior (and
Blue color) shown as at least half full. When the bars are less than half full, the color
is Amber, suggesting that a change in behavior is needed to achieve better energy
efficiency.
Note: Fuel economy is not always a measure of appropriate driving behavior. For example,
when driving uphill and maintaining an appropriate speed, your instant fuel economy may
not be good (losing leaves) but the Coach may show a blue bar for Acceleration or Cruising.

SITTING IN THE CORRECT
POSITION WARNINGS
Sitting improperly, out of position or
with the seat back reclined too far
can take weight off the seat cushion
and affect the decision of the passenger
sensing system, resulting in serious injury
or death in the event of a crash. Always sit
upright against your seat back, with your
feet on the floor.
Do not recline the seat back as this
can cause the occupant to slide
under the safety belt, resulting in
serious injury in the event of a crash.
Do not place objects higher than the
seat back to reduce the risk of
serious injury in the event of a crash
or during heavy braking.
E68595
When you use them properly, the seat,
head restraint, safety belt and air bags will
provide optimum protection in the event
of a crash. We recommend that you follow these
guidelines:
• Sit in an upright position with the base
of your spine as far back as possible.
• Do not recline the seat back more than
30 degrees.
• Adjust the head restraint so that the
top of it is level with the top of your
head and as far forward as possible.
Make sure that you remain
comfortable.
• Keep sufficient distance between
yourself and the steering wheel. We
recommend a minimum of 10 inches
(25 centimeters) between your
breastbone and the air bag cover.
• Hold the steering wheel with your arms
slightly bent.
• Bend your legs slightly so that you can
press the pedals fully.
• Position the shoulder strap of the
safety belt over the center of your
shoulder and position the lap strap
tightly across your hips.
Make sure that your driving position is
comfortable and that you can maintain full
control of your vehicle.
HEAD RESTRAINTS WARNINGS
Fully adjust the head restraint before
you sit in or operate your vehicle. This
will help minimize the risk of neck
injury in the event of a collision. Do not
adjust the head restraint when your vehicle
is moving.
The head restraint is a safety device.
Whenever possible it should be
installed and properly adjusted when
the seat is occupied.

HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE Plug-in Power Mode and Hybrid
Mode (Fusion Energi Only) You must plug in your Fusion Energi vehicle
regularly for optimal use of the high
voltage battery's extended range
capability. When you charge your vehicle,
you add electrical energy that is then used
to propel the vehicle in plug-in power
mode. You can view your estimated
electric range in this mode from the
enhanced battery gauge on the instrument
panel display. The system maximizes the
use of electric-only operation in plug-in
power mode. System conditions may
require engine operation; however, the
system uses plug-in power whenever
possible.
When your plug-in power has been
depleted, the powertrain system will
automatically switch to hybrid mode. Your
battery gauge will show an electric range
of zero before transitioning to a simple
battery graphic upon entering hybrid mode.
Hybrid mode uses both the gasoline engine
and electric motor to power your vehicle
and maximize fuel economy as with Fusion
Hybrid.
EV Modes (Fusion Energi Only) E144814
Your vehicle contains selectable
EV modes through the EV button
on the center console.
These modes are available when the
vehicle can run under high voltage battery
power. With the vehicle in driving mode,
you can change EV modes with each press
of the EV button. The current mode
displays in the left hand instrument cluster
screen. Auto EV E155152
This mode provides an
automatic use of high voltage
battery power during the drive,
staying in electric mode when possible and
running the engine when needed. This
mode will be the only one available if the
plug-in power has been depleted.
EV Now E144814
This mode provides an electric
only driving experience using
plug-in power. The left-hand
information display will change to an
Energy Use screen that supplies EV specific
tools and functions. The vehicle may
accelerate more slowly and the top speed
may be lower than in Auto mode. Your
engine may be enabled at any time by
using one of the following methods:
1. Press the OK button on the left 5–way
steering wheel control while viewing
the EV screen. The vehicle will enable
the engine as needed, and will
automatically return to EV Now after
eight seconds or when the engine is no
longer needed.
2. Press the accelerator pedal fully. A pop
up message stating Press OK to
Enable Engine will appear. Press OK
on the left steering wheel button to
activate as needed. The message will
disappear if you release the accelerator
pedal.
3. Press the EV button. This will change
the mode to EV Later and permit
engine operation.
The vehicle may automatically enter
Engine Enabled mode if system conditions
require it. A message Engine Enabled for
System Performance will display if this
occurs. This is normal function, and your
vehicle will return to EV Now when
possible.
