Engage
Engage provides separate gauges for
engine power and high voltage battery
power in kilowatts (kW). The engine power
gauge fill is white and the high voltage
battery power gauge fill is blue. You can
also see an instantaneous fuel economy
gauge. When your vehicle is operating on
battery power only, you will see EV
displayed and the gauges will appear in
blue.
Empower
Empower provides a power demand gauge
in kilowatts (kW) which includes an engine
on or off threshold. •
When your vehicle is operating with
battery power only (below the
threshold), you will see EV displayed
and the gauge fill is blue.
• When your vehicle is operating with
both the engine and the high voltage
battery providing power the gauge fill
is white.
• When power demand surpasses the
amber indicator, this level of demand
and associated fuel economy displays
in amber.
• When the engine is on, reducing power
demand to less than the threshold will
allow the engine to turn off.
You can also see an instantaneous fuel
economy gauge.
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.
• Press the up or down arrow to view
content.
• Press
OK to save your selected
content.
• You must select content in both
columns before you can save your new
MyView.
Unique content available in MyView:
• Vehicle Range (Energi vehicles only) –
Indicates the estimated distance your
vehicle will travel with the energy
currently onboard. Separately displays
range available in Hybrid Mode fueled
by gasoline, electric range available in
Plug-in Power Mode, and total range.
Gasoline range and electric range are
also shown on the bottom of the right
information display. Changes in driving
pattern and climate control use will
cause the values to vary.
• Accessory Power — Indicates electrical
power demands from your vehicle ’s
accessory systems. Accessories use
power but do not contribute to
propelling your 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.). •
Coolant Temp – Indicates engine
coolant temperature. At normal
operating temperature, the level
indicator will be white and will be in the
normal range (between H and C). If the
engine coolant temperature exceeds
the normal range, the level indicator
will change to red to indicate that the
engine is overheating. Stop your vehicle
as soon as safely possible, turn your
vehicle off and let the engine cool.
• 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.
Miles (or km)/Full Charge (Energi only)
In Hybrid Mode the display changes to Fuel
Economy. Miles or Kilometers per Full
Charge is an estimate of your EV Range
with a fully charged battery.
This display is only available in Plug-in
Power Mode.
Average Miles or Kilometers per Full
Charge is provided along with an
Instantaneous gauge. This information is
based on your energy usage while driving.
Energy usage is affected by your driving
style and route, climate control use,
outside temperature and other factors. For
more information refer to Next Full Charge.
See
Gauges (page 85).
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
Plug-In Hybrid Vehicle
Operation (page 137).

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.

C-MAX (CCG) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing Information Displays
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, MyView (if
selected) and Fuel Economy (shown in
Hybrid Mode) on the left information
display. They are also included in Fuel
History on the right information display.
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. INFORMATION MESSAGES
Note:
Depending on the vehicle options
equipped with your vehicle, not all of the
