steering FORD C MAX HYBRID 2013 2.G Quick Reference Guide

sMart poWer-split architecture
City Driving: In stop and go driving and at low speeds, the electric
motor provides the necessary power. The gas engine kicks in only
to recharge the battery or when more power is needed.
Accelerating: Step on the accelerator pedal and get all the
responsiveness of a traditional gasoline engine.
Cruising/Highway Driving: Due to greater power demands at
highway speeds, your vehicle will use the gasoline engine more
frequently than it will while driving at city traffic speeds. This
is normal.
Braking: For added efficiency, the energy created by friction
during braking is recycled to the battery.
Stopped: To save energy, the gasoline engine will shut off
and the electric motor will stop drawing current.

silent Key s tart (sKs)
When you turn the ignition on, your engine may not sound
like it has started because your hybrid-electric vehicle is
equipped with silent key start. This fuel-saving feature
allows your vehicle to be ready to drive without requiring
your gas engine to be running. Instead of listening for
a traditional gasoline-powered engine sound, look for
the ‘ready to drive’ indicator light
in your instrument
cluster. When the light illuminates, your vehicle has been
successfully started and is ready to drive.
