Fuel Tank
Capacity/Fuel Info
Your vehicle has a fuel tank capacity of 13.5
gallons (51.1 liters). Use only UNLEADED
fuel or UNLEADED fuel blended with a
maximum of 15% ethanol. Do not use
ethanol (E85), diesel, fuel-methanol,
leaded fuel or any other fuel because
it could damage or impair the emission
control system.
Low Fuel Reminder
A low fuel reminder triggers when the fuel
gauge needle is at 1/16th.
Hybrid Transmission
Your hybrid’s transmission is designed to
do its work seamlessly, so you may not feel
shift changes as you normally would in a
gasoline-powered vehicle. However, you may feel the transition when the system
changes from electric vehicle (EV) mode to
gas mode. This is normal. Since your engine
speed is controlled by the transmission, it
may seem elevated at times. This is also
normal hybrid operation as it helps deliver
fuel efficiency and performance.
Easy Fuel® System
With this system,
you simply press to
open the fuel door,
insert the nozzle
and begin fueling.
It is self-sealing
and therefore
protected against dust, dirt, water, snow
and ice. Wait 10 seconds from the time the
refueling nozzle is shut-off until you remove
the nozzle from the vehicle to allow residual
fuel in the nozzle to drain into the tank.
ESSENTIAL INFORMATION
NOTE When using a portable fuel
container, slowly insert the fuel funnel
(located in the spare tire compartment),
and pour the fuel into the funnel. When
done, clean the funnel or properly
dispose of it. Do not use aftermarket
funnels as they do not work with the Easy
Fuel system and may cause damage. You
can purchase extra funnels from your
authorized dealer. Refer to the Refueling
section in the Fuel and Refueling chapter
of your Owner's Manual for warnings and
additional information.
Open Window Buffeting
When only one side window is open, you
may hear a pulsing noise. Open both
windows on the same side of the vehicle
to alleviate this noise.

Tire Pressure
Monitoring System
Your vehicle illuminates a low tire
pressure warning light in your
instrument cluster when one or more of
your tires are significantly under-inflated.
If this happens, stop and check your tires
as soon as possible, then inflate them to
the proper pressure. Refer to the Inflating
Your Tires section in the Wheels and Tires
chapter of your Owner’s Manual for
more information.
Tire Mobility Kit
Fusion Hybrid includes a tire mobility kit
that is in the spare tire well in the trunk. It
consists of an air compressor to reinflate the
tire and a sealing compound in a canister
that seals most punctures caused by nails
or similar objects. Refer to the Wheels and
Tires chapter of your Owner’s Manual for
more details.
Towing Your
Fusion Hybrid
Towing your vehicle behind an RV or any
other vehicle may be limited. Refer to
Towing the Vehicle on Four Wheels in the
Towing chapter of your Owner's Manual.
Automatic Shutdown*
In vehicles equipped with intelligent
access*, this feature automatically
shuts down the vehicle if it has been
idling for an extended period. The
ignition also turns off in order to save
battery power. Before the engine
shuts down, a message appears in
the information display, allowing
the driver to override the
shutdown feature.
NOTE Your intelligent access
transmitter must be inside the vehicle
for the ignition to start. The keyless
warning alert sounds the horn twice
when you exit the vehicle with the
transmitter and your vehicle is in RUN,
indicating that the vehicle is still on.
