Power (green light)— this indicator lights up when the cord is
plugged into the AC wall outlet.
Charge (green light)— Indicates status of charging:
•No light means the cord is not connected to the vehicle.
•Blinking light means that the charging is in process.
•Solid light means that the vehicle is connected but not charging.
Fault (red triangle light)— Lights up in case of a detected failure.
No charging is possible:
•Blinking red triangle light – means that the 120 volt convenience cord
is trying to reset the failure and could restart the charging cycle.
•Solid red triangle light – means that the fault is permanent. The cord
needs to be unplugged and re-plugged to reset the fault. If the fault
persists, contact your authorized dealer.
Charge Port and Light Ring
The charge port is located between
the front left side door and front
left wheel well. There is an
indentation located on the charge
port door. Press with your thumb to
press to open and close the door.
Note:Do not force the charge port door open or closed. Forcing the
door open or closed will damage the charge port.
The light ring located around the charge port indicates the charge status
of your vehicle’s high-voltage battery. The charge port light ring is
divided into four quadrants which display state of charge in 25 percent
increments.
There is a cord acknowledgment feature that will be activated when a
charge cycle is initiated. The four light quadrants will each individually
flash clockwise starting with the top right light and ending with the top
left, two full times confirming a charging coupler has been detected.

Disconnecting the Charging
Coupler
Note:Do not pull the wall plug
from the wall while the vehicle is
charging. Doing so may damage the
outlet and the cord.
To disconnect the charging coupler:
1. Press the button on the charging
coupler with your thumb.
2. While holding the button, remove
the charging coupler from the vehicle’s charge port receptacle.
3. Close the charge port door by pressing the indentation on the charge
port door. Continue pressing the indentation while the door rotates
counter clockwise and closes.
Convenience Charging and MyFord® Mobile
The setting up of the charging convenience features is primarily done with
the MyFord Mobile smart phone application. Visit myfordmobile.com for
more complete information and to set up your MyFord Mobile account.
Your electric vehicle also has some convenience features to improve your
charging experience:
•Value Charge:The vehicle schedules charging at the lowest available
utility rates. Contact your utility company to see what rates are
available.
•Charge Now:Fully charge your vehicle at the quickest rate.
The vehicle starts charging immediately after you connect the
charging plug into the vehicle.
•
My GO Time:Setting My GO times through the MyFord Mobile
application allows you to set charging schedules and cabin preconditioning
settings so your vehicle is ready to drive when you are. By setting a My
GO time the vehicles charge can be completed before your next set drive
time. A calendar view allows you to program two My GO Times per day
for each of the seven days of the week. Remember, your vehicle must be
plugged in for My GO time to work.
•Cabin Preconditioning:Get the most miles out of every charge by
preconditioning your vehicle while it’s still plugged in and charging.
Use your smart phone to set the cabin temperature and departure
time before you leave so you use energy from your home wall outlet
instead of your battery to heat or cool your vehicle.
210High Voltage Battery
2013 C-Max Full Hybrid(34h)
Owners Guide gf, 3rd Printing, January 2013
USA(fus)

CHANGING THE LOW VOLTAGE BATTERY
Your vehicle is equipped with a Motorcraft® maintenance-free low
voltage battery which normally does not require additional water during
its life of service.
Note:See an authorized dealer for low voltage battery access, testing, or
replacement.
When a low voltage battery replacement is necessary, see an authorized
dealer to replace the low voltage battery with a Ford recommended
replacement low voltage battery that matches the electrical requirements
of the vehicle.
To ensure proper operation of the battery management system (BMS), do
not allow a technician to connect any electrical device ground connection
directly to the low voltage battery negative post. A connection at the low
voltage battery negative post can cause inaccurate measurements of the
battery condition and potential incorrect system operation.
Note:If a person adds electrical or electronic accessories or components
to the vehicle, the accessories or components may adversely affect the
low voltage battery performance and durability and may also affect the
performance of other electrical systems in the vehicle.
Note:Always dispose of automotive batteries in a responsible manner.
Follow your local authorized standards for disposal. Call your local
authorized recycling center to find out more about recycling automotive
batteries.
Because your vehicle’s engine is electronically-controlled by a computer,
some engine control settings are maintained by power from the low
voltage battery. Some engine computer settings, like the idle trim and
fuel trim strategy, optimize the driveability and performance of the
engine. Some other computer settings, like the clock and radio station
presets, are also maintained in memory by power from the low voltage
battery. When a technician disconnects and connects the low voltage
battery, these settings are erased. Complete the following procedure in
order to restore the settings:
1. With the vehicle at a complete stop, set the parking brake.
2. Shift the transmission to P (Park).
3. Turn off all accessories.
4. Step on the brake pedal and start the vehicle.
5. Step on the accelerator to start the engine.

6. Run the engine until the engine reaches normal operating
temperature. While the engine is warming up, complete the following:
•Reset the clock. SeeClockin theAudio Systemchapter.
•Reset the radio station presets. SeeNumber blockin theAudio
Systemchapter.
•Reset the power windows bounce-back feature. SeeResetting the
Bounce-Back Featurein thePower Windowssection.
7. Allow the engine to idle for at least one minute.
8. If the engine turns off, step on the accelerator to start the engine.
9. While the engine is running, step on the brake pedal and shift the
transmission to N (Neutral).
10. Allow the engine to run for at least one minute by pressing on the
accelerator pedal.
11. Drive the vehicle at least 10 miles (16 kilometers) to completely
relearn the idle and fuel trim strategy.
Note:If you do not allow the engine to relearn the idle and fuel trim
strategy, the idle quality of your vehicle may be adversely affected until the
engine computer eventually relearns the idle trim and fuel trim strategy.
CHECKING THE WIPER BLADES
Run the tip of your fingers over the edge of the blade
to check for roughness.
Clean the wiper blades with washer fluid or water
applied with a soft sponge or cloth.
CHANGING THE WIPER BLADES
Note:Use the service position in winter to provide easier access to the
front wiper blades for freeing them from snow and ice. The front wipers
will not return to their normal position as soon as you switch on the
ignition. The front wipers will stay in the service position when you
switch the ignition on or start the engine. Switch on the front wipers to
any mode, then switch off the front wipers to bring the front wipers back
to the park position.
Note:The windshield wiper blades are different in length. If you install
wiper blades of the wrong length, the wipers may not work correctly.
If equipped with autowipers, the rain sensor may not work correctly.

3. Turn on the low beam headlamps to illuminate the wall or screen and
open the hood.
To see a clearer light pattern for adjusting, you may want to block the
light from one headlamp while adjusting the other.
On the wall or screen you will
observe a flat zone of high intensity
light located at the top of the right
hand portion of the beam pattern.
If the top edge of the high intensity
light zone is not at the horizontal
reference line, the headlamp will
need to be adjusted.
4.
Locate the vertical adjuster on
each headlamp. Using a Phillips #2
screwdriver, turn the adjuster
either clockwise or counterclockwise
in order to aim the headlamp.
The horizontal edge of the brighter
light should touch the horizontal
reference line.
5. Close the hood and turn off the lamps.
HORIZONTAL AIM IS NOT REQUIRED FOR THIS VEHICLE AND IS
NOT ADJUSTABLE.
