Note:
If your vehicle detects certain faults,
it will not allow you to operate the
accelerator pedal. If this happens, press the
brake pedal and release it. This will activate
limp home vehicle operation. In limp home
vehicle operation, your vehicle will
accelerate in a controlled manner up to a
maximum speed of 35 mph (56 km/h) on
a flat surface. If you apply the brake pedal
or move the transmission to neutral (N) you
can override your vehicle ’s acceleration.
Ready to Drive Lights after your switch your
vehicle on and it is ready to drive.
A corresponding message may
display stating ready to drive.
Service Engine Soon If the service engine soon
indicator light stays on after you
switch on the engine, this
indicates that the On-Board Diagnostics
system (OBD) has detected a malfunction
of the vehicle emissions control system.
Refer to On-Board diagnostics (OBD) in
the Fuel and Refueling chapter for more
information about having your vehicle
serviced. See Emission Control System
(page 143).
If the light is blinking, engine misfire is
occurring which could damage your
catalytic converter. Drive in a moderate
fashion (avoid heavy acceleration and
deceleration) and have your vehicle
serviced immediately.
Note: Under engine misfire conditions,
excessive exhaust temperatures could
damage the catalytic converter or other
vehicle components.
The service engine soon indicator lights
when you first switch on the ignition prior
to engine start to check the bulb and to
indicate whether the vehicle is ready for
Inspection and Maintenance testing. Normally, the service engine soon light will
stay on until you switch on the engine, then
turn itself off if no malfunctions are
present. However, if after 15 seconds the
service engine soon light blinks eight times,
it means that the vehicle is not ready for
Inspection and Maintenance testing. See
Emission Control System
(page 143).
Stability Control Lights when the system is active.
If it remains on or does not light
when you switch the ignition on,
this indicates a malfunction. During a

Vehicle Range
Indicates the estimated distance the
vehicle will travel with the energy currently
available. For Hybrid, the vehicle range
estimate is based on the fuel remaining in
the gasoline tank. For Energi, the total
estimated range equals the range available
in Hybrid Mode fueled by gasoline, plus the
electric range available in Plug-in Power
Mode. Changes in driving pattern may
cause the values to vary.
Inform
Inform shows the fuel level, battery display
and average fuel economy, with options
available for the Battery Display and an
Instantaneous Fuel Economy gauge. When
the vehicle is operating on battery power
only with the engine off, EV is displayed. Enlighten
Enlighten displays power demand in
addition to the typical information and
options from Inform. The Instantaneous
Fuel Economy gauge will be displayed by
default. When the vehicle is operating on
battery power only with the engine off, EV
is displayed and the gauge fill is shown in
blue. When both the engine and high
voltage battery are providing power the
gauge fill is white.
Engage
Engage replaces the power demand gauge
from Enlighten with separate gauges for
engine power and high voltage battery
power. The engine power gauge fill is white
and the high voltage battery power gauge
fill is blue. When the vehicle is operating
on battery power only with the engine off,
EV is displayed.
91
C-MAX (CCG) Information Displays

Empower
Empower adds an engine on/off threshold
to the power demand gauge from
Enlighten. The threshold is shown as a blue
double outline. The gauge is designed to
show you how close you are to the gasoline
engine on/off threshold and how much
power you are requesting based on how
far you press the accelerator pedal.
When power demand is below the
threshold the vehicle is operating on
battery power only with the engine off, EV
is displayed and the gauge fill is shown in
blue.
When power demand exceeds the
threshold both the engine and the high
voltage battery provide power and the
gauge fill is white.
When power demand surpasses the amber
indicator, this level of demand and
associated fuel economy are shown in
amber.
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.
• Use the right and left arrows to move
between the left column content and
the middle column content.
• The right column is reserved for the
Battery Gauge and the Fuel Gauge.
Once you have your desired content
showing in each column then press
OK to
save. This becomes your new MyView
screen. Unique content available in MyView:
•
Accessory Power — Indicates electrical
power demands from your vehicle ’s
accessory systems. Accessories use
power but do not contribute to
propelling the 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 the vehicle
as soon as safely possible, turn off the
vehicle and let the engine cool.
The thermometer indicator next to the
gauge will illuminate in blue or white to
indicate the following (not available for
Energi vehicles):
• Blue thermometer - This indicates that
the hybrid system is not warm enough
to allow EV operation. The gasoline
engine will typically run continuously
when the indicator is blue.
92
C-MAX (CCG) Information Displays

Note:
During silent key start mode, the
thermometer indicator will be blue, but the
gasoline engine will not run. This is the result
of the vehicle computer allowing the engine
to be cooler during the silent key start
period. This is normal operation and does
not indicate a problem with your vehicle.
After the first engine start the indicator will
turn white when the gasoline engine is warm
enough to turn off.
• White thermometer - This indicates
that the hybrid system is warm enough
to allow EV operation. If the vehicle
operates on battery power long
enough, it is possible that the gasoline
engine may need to run to keep the
system warm. In this case, the
thermometer indicator will revert back
to blue.
• Tach rpm x 1000 — When the gasoline
engine is running, the tachometer
gauge displays the engine speed in
revolutions per minute (RPM). When
the vehicle is operating on battery
power only with the engine off, EV is
displayed 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 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 129). •
Consumption Gauge: Your current
present energy use per distance
traveled is represented by 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 shown on the
battery gauge at the time of entering EV
now. 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 such as the
electric A/C compressor and the
electric heater. These components use
power but do not contribute to
propelling the vehicle. The gauge
displays power demand in kilowatts
(kW).
Trip 1 & 2 Use the arrow buttons to choose
between the following.
Note: Pressing
OK resets the odometer and timer.
