WARNINGS
If the engine is revved excessively, or
if a malfunction is detected, the
system will be deactivated.
The system makes it easier to pull away
when your vehicle is on a slope without the
need to use the parking brake.
When the system is active, your vehicle will
remain stationary on the slope for two to
three seconds after you release the brake
pedal. This allows you time to move your
foot from the brake to the accelerator
pedal. The brakes are released
automatically once the engine has
developed sufficient drive to prevent your
vehicle from rolling down the slope. This
is an advantage when pulling away on a
slope, (for example from a car park ramp,
traffic lights or when reversing uphill into
a parking space).
The system will activate automatically on
any slope that will cause significant vehicle
rollback.
Using Hill Start Assist
1. Press the brake pedal to bring your
vehicle to a complete standstill. Keep
the brake pedal pressed.
2. If the sensors detect that your vehicle is on a slope, the system will activate
automatically.
3. When you remove your foot from the brake pedal, your vehicle will remain
on the slope without rolling away for
about two or three seconds. This hold
time will automatically be extended if
you are in the process of driving off.
4. Drive off in the normal manner. The brakes will release automatically.

C-MAX (CCG) Brakes

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The traction control system helps avoid
drive wheel spin and loss of traction.
If your vehicle begins to slide, the system
applies the brakes to individual wheels
and, when needed, reduces engine power
at the same time. If the wheels spin when
accelerating on slippery or loose surfaces,
the system reduces engine power in order
to increase traction.
USING TRACTION CONTROL
In certain situations for example, stuck in
snow or mud, turning the traction control
off may be beneficial as this allows the
wheels to spin with full engine power.
Depending on the type of system you have
on your vehicle, you can either turn the
system off using the information display
or by pressing the button.
Switching the System Off Using
the Information Display Controls
(If Equipped)
Your vehicle comes with this feature
already enabled. If required, you can switch
this feature off using the information
display controls. See Principle of
Operation (page 159).
Switching the System Off Using a
Switch
(If Equipped)
The button is located in the instrument
panel.
Press the button. You will see a message
in conjunction with an illuminated icon in
the display. Press the button again to
return the system to normal mode.
When you switch the traction control
system off, stability control remains fully
active. System Indicator Lights and
Messages WARNING
If a failure has been detected within
the AdvanceTrac system, the
stability control light will illuminate
steadily. Verify that the AdvanceTrac
system was not manually disabled through
the information display. If the stability
control light still illuminates steadily, have
the system serviced by an authorized
dealer immediately. Operating your vehicle
with AdvanceTrac disabled could lead to
an increased risk of loss of vehicle control,
vehicle rollover, personal injury and death. The stability control light
temporarily illuminates on
engine start-up and flashes
when a driving condition activates the
stability system. The stability control off light
temporarily illuminates on
engine start-up and stays on
when you turn the traction control system
off.
When you turn the traction control system
off or on, a message appears in the
information display showing system status.

area behind the vehicle is not shown.
Be aware of your surroundings when
using the manual zoom feature. Note:
Manual zoom is only available when
the transmission is in R (Reverse).
Note: When manual zoom is enabled, only
the centerline is shown. This allows you to get a closer view of an
object behind the vehicle. The zoomed
image keeps the bumper in the image to
provide a reference. The zoom is only
active while the transmission is in R
(Reverse). When the transmission is
shifted out of R (Reverse), the feature
automatically turns off and must be reset
when it is used again.
Selectable settings for this feature are +
and -. The default setting for the manual
zoom is OFF.
Rear Camera Delay
When shifting the transmission out of R
(Reverse) and into any gear other than P
(Park), the camera image remains in the
display until the vehicle speed reaches 6
mph (10 km/h). This occurs when the rear
camera delay feature is on, or until a radio
button is selected.

C-MAX (CCG) Maintenance

General Information
WARNING
Failure to follow these guidelines
could result in an increased risk of
loss of vehicle control, injury or death.
Note:
Do not use the kit to repair a severely
damaged tire, damaged from driving the
vehicle with a tire that has insufficient air
pressure. You can only use the kit to seal
punctured areas located within the tire
tread.
Do not attempt to repair punctures larger
than 1.4 inch (6.4 millimeters) or damage
to the tire's sidewall. The tire may not
completely seal.
Loss of air pressure may adversely affect
tire performance. For this reason:
Note: Do not drive the vehicle above 50
mph (80 km/h).
Note: Do not drive further than 120 miles
(200 kilometers). Drive only to the closest
Ford Motor Company authorized dealer or
tire repair shop to have your tire inspected.
• Drive carefully and avoid abrupt
steering maneuvers.
• Periodically monitor tire inflation
pressure in the affected tire; if the tire
is losing pressure, have the vehicle
towed.
• Read the information in the Tips for
Use of the Kit section to make sure of
safe operation of the kit and your
vehicle.
Tips for Use of the Kit
Read the following list of tips to make sure
of safe operation of the kit: •
Before operating the kit, make sure
your vehicle is safely off the road and
away from moving traffic. Turn on the
hazard lights.
• Always set the parking brake to make
sure the vehicle does not move
unexpectedly.
• Do not remove any foreign objects,
such as nails or screws, from the tire.
• When using the kit, leave the engine
running (only if the vehicle is outdoors
or in a well-ventilated area) so the
compressor does not drain the
vehicle's battery.
• Do not allow the compressor to
operate continuously for more than 15
minutes; this will help prevent the
compressor from overheating.
• Never leave the kit unattended when
it is operating.
• Sealant compound contains latex.
Make sure that you use the non-latex
gloves provided to avoid an allergic
reaction.
• Keep the kit away from children.
• Only use the kit when the ambient
temperature is between -22°F (– 30°C)
and 158°F (70°C).
• Only use the sealing compound before
the use by date. The use by date is on
the lower right hand corner of the label
located on the sealant canister
(bottle). Check the use by date
regularly and replace the canister after
four years.
• Do not store the kit unsecured inside
the passenger compartment of the
vehicle as it may cause injury during a
sudden stop or crash. Always store the
kit in its original location.
• After sealant use, you must replace the
tire pressure monitoring system sensor
and valve stem on the wheel by an
authorized Ford dealer.
240
C-MAX (CCG) Wheels and Tires

•
When inflating a tire or other objects,
use the black air hose only. Do not use
the transparent hose, which is designed
for sealant application only.
• Operating the kit could cause an
electrical disturbance in radio, CD, and
DVD player operation.
What to Do When a Tire Is
Punctured
Repair a tire puncture within the tread area
of the tire in two stages with the kit.
• In the first stage, you will re-inflate the
tire with a sealing compound and air.
After the tire has been re-inflated, drive
the vehicle a short distance (about 4
miles [6 kilometers]) to distribute the
sealant in the tire.
• In the second stage, check the tire
pressure and adjust, if necessary, to the
vehicle's tire inflation pressure.
First Stage: Reinflating the Tire
with Sealing Compound and Air WARNINGS
Do not stand directly over the kit
while inflating the tire. If you notice
any unusual bulges or deformations
in the tire's sidewall during inflation, stop
and call roadside assistance. If the tire does not inflate to the
recommended tire pressure within
15 minutes, stop and call roadside
assistance. Preparation: Park the vehicle in a safe, level
and secure area, away from moving traffic.
Turn the hazard lights on. Apply the parking
brake and turn the engine off. Inspect the
flat tire for visible damage.
Sealant compound contains latex. To
avoid any allergic reactions, use the
non-latex gloves located in the accessory
box on the underside of the kit housing. Do not remove any foreign object that has
pierced the tire. If a puncture is located in
the tire sidewall, stop and call roadside
assistance.
1. Remove the valve cap from the tire
valve.
2. Unwrap the clear tube from the compressor housing.
3. Remove the tube cap and fasten the metal connector of the tube to the tire
valve, turning clockwise. Make sure you
fasten the connection tightly. 4. Plug the power cable into the 12-volt
power point in the vehicle.
5. Remove the warning sticker found on the canister, and place it on the top of
the instrument panel or the center of
the dash.
6. Start the vehicle only if the vehicle is outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. 241

The system also alerts you to any conflicts
by highlighting areas of the screen in
yellow. If your battery cannot have a full
charge by the scheduled drive time, the
system highlights your next GO Time and
Charge Complete time and a message
Charge at GO Time: under 100%
appears. This is normal; the vehicle is
informing you of the conflicting situation.
This notification only displays when the
gearshift selector lever is in position P.
Note: Charging occurs as soon as you plug
the vehicle in. The system limits cabin
conditioning to 15 minutes before your GO
Time.
To eliminate the conflict notification
immediately or to prevent a conflict in the
future, try the following:
• Change the present GO Time to occur
later.
• Plug the vehicle into a 240V charging
station instead of the 120V
convenience cord. Higher power
charging yields shorter charge times.
• Plug the vehicle in sooner.
Estimated Charge Time Limits
Battery
This shows you the battery's current
charge displayed as a percentage. A
reading of 100% means the battery has a
full charge. A reading of 0% indicates the
battery has no plug-in energy left.
To fully charge
240V
is the estimated minimum charging
time from the present high-voltage battery
level to full charge (100%). This represents
the shortest amount of time you should
expect the high-voltage battery to
recharge under ideal conditions. Ideal
conditions include a 240V charging station
and a minimum 30A service and
high-voltage battery at a moderate
temperature. Note:
This charging time is only an
estimate. It is normal for your actual charge
duration to be longer.
Note: Some charging stations use lower
voltage (208V), which result in longer
charge times.
120V
is the estimated maximum charging
time from the present high-voltage battery
level to full charge (100%). This represents
the longest amount of time you should
expect the high-voltage battery to
recharge under normal conditions. Normal
conditions include a 120V convenience
cord and 12A service.
Note: This charging time is only an
estimate. It is possible for your actual charge
duration to be longer. This occurs when the
AC line voltage is low and may indicate your
electrical source is not meeting certain
requirements. See
Charging the High
Voltage Battery (page 148).
Value Charge Profile and Mode
Value Charge Profile Name
This is the name of the presently detected
Value Charge Profile. The system detects
a customer defined value charge profile
when the vehicle is within approximately
300 feet (100 meters) of the GPS location
registered for the profile. If the vehicle is
close to more than one charge profile, it
chooses the closest. When the vehicle is
not at a defined profile, it uses the Default
Value
charge profile. The system normally
displays Default Profile while you are
driving because the vehicle is typically
between defined value charge profiles.
Edit
