POWER LIFTGATE (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNINGS
It is extremely dangerous to ride in a
cargo area, inside or outside of a
vehicle. In a collision, people riding in
these areas are more likely to be seriously
injured or killed. Do not allow people to ride
in any area of your vehicle that is not
equipped with seats and safety belts. Be
sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat
and using a safety belt properly. Make sure to close and latch the
liftgate to prevent drawing exhaust
fumes into your vehicle. This will also
prevent passengers and cargo from falling
out. If you must drive with the liftgate open,
keep the vents or windows open so outside
air comes into your vehicle. Failure to
follow this warning could result in serious
personal injury. Keep keys out of reach of children.
Do not allow children to play near an
open or moving power liftgate.
Note:
Cycling the ignition while the liftgate
is power closing and is near the latch may
cause the liftgate to reverse to full open
position. Make sure that you close the
liftgate before operating or moving the
vehicle, especially in an enclosure, like a
garage or a parking structure. You could
damage the liftgate or its components.
Note: Do not hang anything, for example a
bike rack, from the spoiler, glass or liftgate.
This could damage the liftgate and its
components.
If the vehicle is running, the liftgate will only
operate with the transmission in park.
Three warning tones will sound once as
the liftgate begins to power close. Five
short chimes indicate a problem with the
open or close request, caused by: •
the ignition is on and the transmission
is not in P;
• or the battery voltage is below the
minimum operating voltage;
• or the vehicle speed is at or above 3
mph (5 km/h).
If the liftgate falls to the closed direction
after the liftgate has stopped in the open
position, four short warning chimes
indicate excessive weight on the gate or a
possible gas strut failure. Have the system
checked by an authorized dealer if you still
have the issue after you remove the load.
Opening and Closing the Liftgate WARNING
Make sure all persons are clear of the
power liftgate area before using the
power liftgate control.
Note:
Be careful when opening or closing
the liftgate in a garage or other enclosed
area to avoid damaging the liftgate.
Note: Do not leave the liftgate open while
driving. This could damage the liftgate and
its components.
Note: You can stop the liftgate movement
direction with a second press of the
instrument panel button or the control
button on the liftgate, a second press of the
transmitter button, or by using a kicking
motion with your foot for hands-free
liftgates.
From the Instrument Panel Press the instrument panel
button.
With the Remote Control Press the remote control button
twice within three seconds.

Answer
Question
Your vehicle's engine and transmission aredesigned to deliver the power you need atthe most efficient engine speed. This may be higher than expected during heavy
accelerations, and may fluctuate during
steady state driving. These are character-
istics of the Atkinson engine cycle and the transmission technology that help
maximize your hybrid's fuel economy.
Why does my engine rev up so high some-
times when I accelerate?
The fan noise comes from a fan located
next to the high voltage battery pack. This fan turns on when the battery requires
cooling air. The fan speed, and associated noise level, will change according to theamount of cooling required to maintain
good performance. Maintaining the battery temperature at optimal conditions also
prolongs the useful life of the battery and helps to achieve better fuel economy.
What is the fan noise I hear from the rear
of my hybrid?
Change the engine oil every 10000 miles
(16000 kilometers) or once per year under normal operating conditions.
What is the engine oil change service
interval?
Your hybrid vehicle can use E15 (15%
ethanol, 85% gasoline) fuel, but you may notice slightly reduced fuel economy
because ethanol contains less energy per
gallon than gasoline. Your hybrid vehicle is not designed to use E85 (85% ethanol).
Can I put E15 or E85 in my vehicle, and how
will it affect my fuel economy?
The high voltage battery system is designedto last the life of the vehicle and requires no maintenance.
How long will my high voltage battery last?
Does it need maintenance?
There are no provisions for charging the
high voltage battery from a power supply
external to the vehicle. (For C-MAX Energi
vehicles, the vehicle can be plugged into a
110-volt outlet with charge cord provided.)
Can you charge the battery with a plug into
an A/C outlet?
Yes. Your hybrid vehicle can be flat towed
without modification. See Towing (page
182).
Can I tow the hybrid behind my motor home
with all four wheels down?

1 Use only Motorcraft DOT 4 LV High Performance Motor Vehicle Brake or equivalent
meeting WSS-M6C65-A1. Use of any fluid other than the recommended fluid may cause
brake system damage.
2 Approximate dry fill capacity. Actual amount may vary during fluid changes.
3 Automatic transmissions that require Motorcraft MERCON LV transmission fluid should
only use Motorcraft MERCON LV transmission fluid.
Use of any fluid other than the recommended fluid may cause transmission damage.
Change the automatic transmission fluid and filter at the correct service interval. See the
Scheduled Maintenance chapter for service intervals.
4 See your authorized dealer for fluid level checking or filling.
5 The design of your engine allows for the use of Motorcraft engine oils or equivalent oils
that meet Ford specifications. It is also acceptable to use an engine oil of recommended
viscosity grade that meets API SN requirements and displays the API certification mark
for gasoline engines.
6 Do not use supplemental engine oil additives in your engine. They are unnecessary and
could lead to engine damage not covered by your Ford warranty.
7 You can use 5W-20 oil if 0W-20 oil is not available.
8 Add the coolant type originally equipped in your vehicle.
9 See the warning below. WARNING
The air conditioning refrigerant system contains refrigerant R-134a under high
pressure. Have the air conditioning refrigerant system serviced only by qualified
personnel.

Check Every 12 Months (C-MAX Energi
Plug-in Hybrid Only)
Inspect the engine oil filter for signs of
damage such as rust, paint blistering,
scratches or dents. If any of these
conditions are present, replace the filter.
See Normal Scheduled Maintenance
(page 421). Multi-point Inspection
In order to keep your vehicle running right,
it is important to have the systems on your
vehicle checked regularly. This can help
identify potential issues and prevent major
problems. We recommend having the
following multi-point inspection performed
at every scheduled maintenance interval
to help make sure your vehicle keeps
running great. Multi-point inspection
Hazard warning system operation
Accessory drive belt(s)
Horn operation
Battery performance
Radiator, cooler, heater and A/C hoses
Engine air filter
Suspension components for leaks ordamage
Exhaust system
Steering and linkage
Exterior lamps operation
Tires for wear and proper pressure**
Fluid levels *
; fill if necessary
Windshield for cracks, chips or pits
For oil and fluid leaks
Washer spray and wiper operation
Half-shaft dust boots
* Brake, coolant recovery reservoir, automatic transmission and window washer
** If your vehicle is equipped with a temporary mobility kit, check the tire sealant expiration
Use By date on the canister. Replace as needed.
Be sure to ask your dealership service
advisor or technician about the multi-point
vehicle inspection. It is a comprehensive
way to perform a thorough inspection of
your vehicle. Your checklist gives you
immediate feedback on the overall
condition of your vehicle.
