2015 FORD C MAX charging

General
•
Store all vehicles in a dry, ventilated
place.
• Protect from sunlight, if possible.
• If you store vehicles outside, they
require regular maintenance to protect
against rust and damage.
Body
• Wash your vehicle thoroughly to
remove dirt, grease, oil, tar or mud from
exterior surfaces, rear-wheel housing
and the underside of front fenders.
• Periodically wash your vehicle if you
store it in exposed locations.
• Touch-up exposed or primed metal to
prevent rust.
• Cover chrome and stainless steel parts
with a thick coat of auto wax to prevent
discoloration. Re-wax as necessary
when you wash your vehicle.
• Lubricate all hood, door and luggage
compartment hinges and latches with
a light grade oil.
• Cover interior trim to prevent fading.
• Keep all rubber parts free from oil and
solvents.
Engine
• Change the engine oil and filter prior to
storage because used engine oil
contains contaminates which may
cause engine damage.
• Start the engine every 15 days for a
minimum of 15 minutes. Run at fast idle
with the climate controls set to defrost
until the engine reaches normal
operating temperature. •
With your foot on the brake, shift
through all the gears while the engine
is running.
• We recommend that you change the
engine oil before you use your vehicle
again.
Fuel System
• Fill the fuel tank with high-quality fuel
until the first automatic shutoff of the
fuel pump nozzle.
Cooling System
• Protect against freezing temperatures.
• When removing your vehicle from
storage, check coolant fluid level.
Confirm that there are no cooling
system leaks and that fluid is at the
recommended level.
12V Battery
• Check and recharge as necessary. Keep
connections clean.
• If storing your vehicle for more than 30
days without recharging the battery,
we recommend that you disconnect
the battery cables to maintain battery
charge for quick starting.
Note: It is necessary to reset memory
features if you disconnect the battery
cables.

Settings (Energi Only)
This screen allows you to set up the
charging convenience features.
Note:
You can also set up the charging
convenience features using MyFord Mobile
over the internet or smartphone application.
For more information on MyFord Mobile, and
to set up your MyFord Mobile account, visit
www.myfordmobile.com.
To improve the charging experience, your
vehicle has the following convenience
features:
• Value Charge: Your vehicle schedules
its charging time for when the utility
rates are lowest. Contact your utility
company to see what rates are
available.
• Charge Now:
Your vehicle starts
charging immediately after you
connect the charging plug.
• GO Time: Setting GO Times allows you
to control charging schedules and
cabin conditioning settings so your
vehicle is ready to drive when you are.
By setting a GO Time, your vehicle can
use your value charge settings to
minimize your electricity costs but still
prioritize getting a full charge before
your GO Time. A calendar view allows
you to program two GO Times per day
for each day of the week. Note:
Remember, you must plug in your
vehicle for My GO Time to work.
• Cabin Conditioning:
Get the most
miles out of every charge by
conditioning your vehicle while it is
plugged in. Set the cabin temperature
when you set your GO Time in order to
use energy from your home (or
charging station) instead of from your
vehicle ’s battery.

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 151).
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.
Edit
Touch this button to access your Value
Charge profiles settings screen (see Value
Charge Profiles
later in this section).
