FORD C MAX 2013 Owners Manual

•Split Power— This gauge indicates the power being supplied by the
vehicle’s two power sources: the high voltage battery and the gasoline
engine. When the hybrid system is operating in electric vehicle mode
(without the gasoline engine), EV is displayed.
•Power + Threshold — When the transmission is in a drive gear only,
this gauge shows you vehicle power demand and gasoline engine
on/off threshold. It is designed to show you how close you are to
the gasoline engine on/off threshold and how much power you are
requesting by how much you press on the accelerator pedal.
•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, EV is
displayed and the tachometer is greyed out.
•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.)
•Battery Display — The high voltage battery display options include
Regen Active, Charge Assist and Charge Level.
•Regen Active — A circular arrow symbol appears over the center of
the battery when energy is being recaptured through the regenerative
braking system.
•Charge Assist — An arrow above the battery indicates the battery is
being charged; an arrow below the battery indicates that battery
power is being used for propulsion or to power the vehicle
accessories.

•Charge Level — This indicates the State of Charge of the battery.
Additionally, for Energi vehicles the option only applies for the Hybrid
Mode battery display (simple battery graphic). The Plug-in Power
Mode battery will always show the charge level with associated
remaining EV range.
•Inst. Fuel — Shows instantaneous fuel usage.
•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:
•
Blue thermometer : This indicates that the hybrid system is not
warm enough to allow EV operation. The gasoline engine will run
continuously when the indicator is blue. 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.
Note:Trip data, average fuel economy and average speed cannot be
reset in MyView. You can reset this data from other screens where it is
shown.

•Fuel History: This view from left to right starts with the instantaneous
fuel economy gauge and adds historical fuel economy data. The data
is represented as an average for time intervals of either 1, 2 or
6 minutes, with the left most interval being the most recent. Total
time for the 5 intervals is shown at the bottom of the view. Interval
time can be selected in the options sub menu. For Energi vehicles a
blue outline indicates Plug-in Power was used at least half of that
interval. Intervals shown in grey color are from the previous drive.
•Coach: This view provides a comparison of your recent Acceleration,
Braking and Cruising behavior to what is recommended for most
efficient use of energy under present conditions. The horizontal bars
fill from left to right with best behavior (and Blue color) shown as at
least half full. When the bars are less than half full, the color is Amber,
suggesting that a change in behavior is needed to achieve better
energy efficiency.
Note that 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 or Cruising.
