•
Perform all regularly scheduled
maintenance. See Scheduled
Maintenance (page 426).
• Use the coach and brake coach display
to get feedback on your economical
drive style. For more information, See
Information Displays
(page 88).
Avoid these actions because they reduce
your fuel economy:
• Avoid sudden or hard accelerations and
decelerations. Accelerate and slow
down in a smooth, moderate fashion.
• Avoid revving the engine before
switching off your vehicle.
• Avoid long idle periods.
• Do not warm up your vehicle on cold
mornings.
• Do not rest your foot on the brake
pedal while driving.
• Avoid carrying unnecessary weight.
Approximately 1 mile per gallon (0.4
kilometers per liter) is lost for every
400 lb (180 kg)
of weight carried.
• Avoid adding accessories that increase
aerodynamic drag to your vehicle such
as bug deflectors, car top carriers and
ski or bike racks.
• Avoid driving with the wheels out of
alignment.
Things to keep in mind when you refuel
your vehicle:
• Fuel generates fewer vapors when it is
cool and dark outside. Refuel your
vehicle in the early morning or late
evening.
• Use the recommended octane-rated
fuel. Using fuel below the
recommended rating will lower your
fuel economy. DRIVING THROUGH WATER WARNING
Do not drive through flowing or deep
water as you may lose control of your
vehicle.
Note:
Driving through standing water can
cause vehicle damage.
Note: Engine damage can occur if water
enters the air filter.
Before driving through standing water,
check the depth. Never drive through water
that is higher than the bottom of the front
rocker area of your vehicle. When driving through standing water, drive
very slowly and do not stop your vehicle.
Your brake performance and traction may
be limited. After driving through water and
as soon as it is safe to do so:
•
Lightly press the brake pedal to dry the
brakes and to check that they work.
• Check that the horn works.
• Check that the exterior lights work.
• Turn the steering wheel to check that
the steering power assist works.

gases, and remain out of the way of
oncoming traffic until emergency
responders arrive.
• When emergency responders arrive,
tell them that the vehicle involved is an
electric vehicle or hybrid vehicle.
Fires
As with any vehicle, call 911 immediately if
you see sparks, smoke or flames coming
from the vehicle.
• Exit the vehicle immediately.
• Advise 911 that an electric or
hybrid-electric vehicle is involved. •
As with any vehicle fire, do not inhale
smoke, vapors or gas from the vehicle,
as they may be hazardous.
• Remain a safe distance upwind and
uphill from the vehicle fire.
• Stay out of the roadway and stay out
of the way of any oncoming traffic
while awaiting the arrival of emergency
responders.
Post-Incident
• Do not store a severely damaged
vehicle with a lithium-ion battery inside
a structure or within 50 feet (15
meters) of any structure or vehicle.
• Make sure that passenger and cargo
compartments remain ventilated (i.e.,
open window, door, or trunk).
• For vehicles in the United States, notify
Ford Motor Company 1-800-392-3673
(then follow the prompts on the voice
response menu), an authorized Ford

General Information
WARNING
Failure to follow these guidelines
could result in an increased risk of
loss of vehicle control, injury or death.
Note:
Do not use the kit to repair a severely
damaged tire, damaged from driving the
vehicle with a tire that has insufficient air
pressure. You can only use the kit to seal
punctured areas located within the tire
tread.
Do not attempt to repair punctures larger
than 1.4 inch (6.4 millimeters) or damage
to the tire's sidewall. The tire may not
completely seal.
Loss of air pressure may adversely affect
tire performance. For this reason:
Note: Do not drive the vehicle above 50
mph (80 km/h).
Note: Do not drive further than 120 miles
(200 kilometers). Drive only to the closest
Ford Motor Company authorized dealer or
tire repair shop to have your tire inspected.
• Drive carefully and avoid abrupt
steering maneuvers.
• Periodically monitor tire inflation
pressure in the affected tire; if the tire
is losing pressure, have the vehicle
towed.
• Read the information in the Tips for
Use of the Kit section to make sure of
safe operation of the kit and your
vehicle.
Tips for Use of the Kit
Read the following list of tips to make sure
of safe operation of the kit: •
Before operating the kit, make sure
your vehicle is safely off the road and
away from moving traffic. Turn on the
hazard lights.
• Always set the parking brake to make
sure the vehicle does not move
unexpectedly.
• Do not remove any foreign objects,
such as nails or screws, from the tire.
• When using the kit, leave the engine
running (only if the vehicle is outdoors
or in a well-ventilated area) so the
compressor does not drain the
vehicle's battery.
• Do not allow the compressor to
operate continuously for more than 15
minutes; this will help prevent the
compressor from overheating.
• Never leave the kit unattended when
it is operating.
• Sealant compound contains latex.
Make sure that you use the non-latex
gloves provided to avoid an allergic
reaction.
• Keep the kit away from children.
• Only use the kit when the ambient
temperature is between -22°F (– 30°C)
and 158°F (70°C).
• Only use the sealing compound before
the use by date. The use by date is on
the lower right hand corner of the label
located on the sealant canister
(bottle). Check the use by date
regularly and replace the canister after
four years.
• Do not store the kit unsecured inside
the passenger compartment of the
vehicle as it may cause injury during a
sudden stop or crash. Always store the
kit in its original location.
• After sealant use, you must replace the
tire pressure monitoring system sensor
and valve stem on the wheel by an
authorized Ford dealer.

C-MAX (CCG) Mexico/United States of America/Canada, enUSA, CPE Review Wheels and Tires
•
When inflating a tire or other objects,
use the black air hose only. Do not use
the transparent hose, which is designed
for sealant application only.
• Operating the kit could cause an
electrical disturbance in radio, CD, and
DVD player operation.
What to Do When a Tire Is
Punctured
Repair a tire puncture within the tread area
of the tire in two stages with the kit.
• In the first stage, you will re-inflate the
tire with a sealing compound and air.
After the tire has been re-inflated, drive
the vehicle a short distance (about 4
miles [6 kilometers]) to distribute the
sealant in the tire.
• In the second stage, check the tire
pressure and adjust, if necessary, to the
vehicle's tire inflation pressure.
First Stage: Reinflating the Tire
with Sealing Compound and Air WARNINGS
Do not stand directly over the kit
while inflating the tire. If you notice
any unusual bulges or deformations
in the tire's sidewall during inflation, stop
and call roadside assistance. If the tire does not inflate to the
recommended tire pressure within
15 minutes, stop and call roadside
assistance. Preparation: Park the vehicle in a safe, level
and secure area, away from moving traffic.
Turn the hazard lights on. Apply the parking
brake and turn the engine off. Inspect the
flat tire for visible damage.
Sealant compound contains latex. To
avoid any allergic reactions, use the
non-latex gloves located in the accessory
box on the underside of the kit housing. Do not remove any foreign object that has
pierced the tire. If a puncture is located in
the tire sidewall, stop and call roadside
assistance.
1. Remove the valve cap from the tire
valve.
2. Unwrap the clear tube from the compressor housing.
3. Remove the tube cap and fasten the metal connector of the tube to the tire
valve, turning clockwise. Make sure you
fasten the connection tightly. 4. Plug the power cable into the 12-volt
power point in the vehicle.
5. Remove the warning sticker found on the canister, and place it on the top of
the instrument panel or the center of
the dash.
6. Start the vehicle only if the vehicle is outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. 242

The system also alerts you to any conflicts
by highlighting areas of the screen in
yellow. If your battery cannot have a full
charge by the scheduled drive time, the
system highlights your next GO Time and
Charge Complete time and a message
Charge at GO Time: under 100%
appears. This is normal; the vehicle is
informing you of the conflicting situation.
This notification only displays when the
gearshift selector lever is in position P.
Note: Charging occurs as soon as you plug
the vehicle in. The system limits cabin
conditioning to 15 minutes before your GO
Time.
To eliminate the conflict notification
immediately or to prevent a conflict in the
future, try the following:
• Change the present GO Time to occur
later.
• Plug the vehicle into a 240V charging
station instead of the 120V
convenience cord. Higher power
charging yields shorter charge times.
• Plug the vehicle in sooner.
Estimated Charge Time Limits
Battery
This shows you the battery's current
charge displayed as a percentage. A
reading of 100% means the battery has a
full charge. A reading of 0% indicates the
battery has no plug-in energy left.
To fully charge
240V
is the estimated minimum charging
time from the present high-voltage battery
level to full charge (100%). This represents
the shortest amount of time you should
expect the high-voltage battery to
recharge under ideal conditions. Ideal
conditions include a 240V charging station
and a minimum 30A service and
high-voltage battery at a moderate
temperature. Note:
This charging time is only an
estimate. It is normal for your actual charge
duration to be longer.
Note: Some charging stations use lower
voltage (208V), which result in longer
charge times.
120V
is the estimated maximum charging
time from the present high-voltage battery
level to full charge (100%). This represents
the longest amount of time you should
expect the high-voltage battery to
recharge under normal conditions. Normal
conditions include a 120V convenience
cord and 12A service.
Note: This charging time is only an
estimate. It is possible for your actual charge
duration to be longer. This occurs when the
AC line voltage is low and may indicate your
electrical source is not meeting certain
requirements. See
Charging the High
Voltage Battery (page 147).
Value Charge Profile and Mode
Value Charge Profile Name
This is the name of the presently detected
Value Charge Profile. The system detects
a customer defined value charge profile
when the vehicle is within approximately
300 feet (100 meters) of the GPS location
registered for the profile. If the vehicle is
close to more than one charge profile, it
chooses the closest. When the vehicle is
not at a defined profile, it uses the Default
Value
charge profile. The system normally
displays Default Profile while you are
driving because the vehicle is typically
between defined value charge profiles.
