2020 FORD EXPLORER power

•
Idling: The vehicle is running and in Park
(P). The engine and/or the high voltage
battery are on.
• Electric Driving: The vehicle is running
and in Drive (D) or Neutral (N). The
high voltage battery provides power to
the wheels.
• Hybrid Driving: The vehicle is running
and in Drive (D) or Neutral (N). The
engine and the high voltage battery
provide power to the wheels.
• Engine Driving: The vehicle is running
and in Drive (D) or Neutral (N). The
engine provides power to the wheels.
• Regenerative Braking: The vehicle is
running in Drive gear and is slowing
down. Power captured by the
regenerative braking system is sent
back to the high voltage battery.
Engine On Due To
The following conditions help to explain
why the engine is on, and what you can do
to allow all electric operation.
• Drive Power: The engine is on due to
accelerator pedal pressure or speed
control activation. Reduce pressure on
the accelerator pedal or switch off the
speed control to return to full electric
mode.
• High Speed: The engine is on because
the vehicle speed exceeds the level for
full electric operation. Reduce the
speed to return to electric operation.
• Heater Setting: The engine is on
because of the heater setting. Reduce
or turn off the heater setting to return
to electric operation.
• Neutral Gear: The engine is on because
the vehicle is in Neutral (N). Shift out
of neutral gear to return to electric
operation. •
Engine Cold: The engine is on because
it is cold. The vehicle returns to electric
operation once the engine is sufficiently
warm.
• Battery Charging: The engine is on to
charge the high-voltage battery. The
vehicle returns to electric operation
once the battery is charged.
• Low Gear: The engine is on because
the vehicle is in low gear. Shift out of
low gear to return to electric operation.
• Normal Operation: The engine is on to
optimize vehicle operation. The vehicle
returns to electric operation when
possible.
• Engine Braking Active: The engine is on
to provide increased powertrain
braking. This can occur when you turn
on the grade assist feature, when
speed control is on or when driving with
your foot off the accelerator pedal.
Turning off grade assist or speed
control may allow the vehicle to return
to electric operation.
• Battery Temperature: The engine is on
due to high or low high-voltage battery
temperature. This is a normal operating
condition. The vehicle returns to
electric operation when possible.
• Drive Mode: The engine is on due to the
drive mode selection. Select an
appropriate drive mode for electric only
operation.
APPS
The system allows you interact with select
mobile apps while keeping your eyes on
the road. Voice commands, your steering
wheel buttons, or a quick tap on your
touchscreen give you advanced control of
compatible mobile apps. You can also
stream your favorite music or podcasts,
share your time of arrival with friends, and
keep connected safely.

Note: In accordance with the management
approach of low-power radio wave
radiation motors:
Article 12: For approved and certified
low-power radiation motor models,
companies, firms or users must not alter
the frequency, increase the power or
change the characteristics and functions
of the original design without authorization.
Article 14: The usage of low-power
radio-frequency motors must not affect
aviation safety and interfere with legal
telecommunications. Should interference
be detected, immediately stop using the
device and only resume usage after
ensuring that there is no longer any
interference. For the legal
telecommunication and wireless
telecommunication of the telco, the
low-power radio frequency motor must be
able to tolerate legal limits of interference
from telecommunication, industrial,
scientific and radio wave equipment.
