Tach rpm x 1000 — When the gasoline
engine is running, the tachometer
gauge displays the engine speed in
revolutions per minute (RPM). When
your vehicle is operating on battery
power only with the engine off, EV
displays 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 estimated
available electric range, a 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 132).
Electric Range:
Electric range is the estimated distance
you can travel in Plug-in Power Mode with
the engine off. This is based on the amount
of energy available in the high voltage
battery and your average energy usage
while driving.
The amount of energy in the battery refers
to the energy gained from charging the
battery while plugged in.
Energy usage is affected by:
• Mild or aggressive acceleration or
braking.
• Your vehicle speed.
• Your use of accessories such as climate
control.
• The ambient temperature and other
weather conditions.
• City or highway driving.
• Road grades. Note:
It is normal for your electric range
estimate to vary from charge to charge due
to changes in average energy usage.
Energy Use Gauge:
Your current energy use is 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 when EV Now
mode began. 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 including the
electric A/C compressor and the electric
heater. These components use power but
do not contribute to propelling your vehicle.
The gauge displays power demand in
kilowatts (kW).
Trip 1 & 2
Provides trip odometer, trip average fuel
economy and trip timer.
Distance traveled on battery power only
with the engine off is shown in blue next
to total trip distance.
For Energi vehicles total plug-in electricity
used in kilowatt hours (kWh) is shown in
blue next to trip average fuel economy.

Efficiency Leaves
Efficiency leaves indicate short term driving
efficiency measured over the last few
minutes. The more leaves and vines that
appear on the display, the better your fuel
economy. Leaves and vines will
occasionally appear and disappear to
indicate a change in your driving efficiency.
Fuel History
From left to right this view includes an
instantaneous fuel economy gauge,
historical fuel economy data and average
fuel economy. The historical data
represents an average over time intervals
of either 1, 2 or 6 minutes, with the leftmost
interval being the most recent. Shown at
the bottom of the view is the total time
duration for the 5 intervals. You can select
total duration in the options menu.
Intervals shown in grey color are from the
previous drive. The blue horizontal line
represents the average fuel economy value
shown to the right.
Note: Hold OK to reset average fuel
economy. Coach
This view provides a comparison of your
recent acceleration, braking and cruising
behavior, then recommends the most
efficient use of energy under present
conditions. The horizontal bars fill from left
to right with best behavior and appear blue
when at least half full. When the bars are
less than half full, the color is amber,
suggesting that you need a change in your
driving behavior to achieve better energy
efficiency.
Note:
Fuel Economy will be impacted by
your use of brakes, accelerator and
accessories, as well as environmental
conditions such as hills and weather.
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 and Cruising.
Common Displays
Both Average fuel economy and an
instantaneous fuel economy gauge are
included in Engage, Empower and MyView
(if selected) on the left information
display. They are also included in Fuel
History on the right information display.

C-MAX (CCG) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Second Printing Information Displays
Average Fuel Economy
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
corresponding steering wheel controls. For
Energi vehicles both Hybrid and Plug-in
Power mode operation will be included in
the calculation.
Note: Average fuel economy cannot be
reset in MyView.
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 your
vehicle is operating on battery power only,
EV will display and the gauge fill will show
in blue.
