•
Electric Range (Energi Plug-in Power
Mode) - The electric range estimate is
personalized to the driver's key. The
estimate is based on the amount of
energy presently available in the high
voltage battery and your typical energy
usage while driving. This includes your
drive habits as well as your use of
accessories such as Climate Control.
The available battery energy refers to
the energy gained from charging the
battery while plugged in.
• Charge Assist - The up and down
arrows provide information about the
energy going into and out of the high
voltage battery. The up arrow above
the battery indicates battery charging
such as from regenerative braking. The
down arrow below the battery
indicates battery discharging to provide
power for propulsion or vehicle
accessories.
• Regen Display - When stepping on the
brake pedal, a circular arrow symbol
appears in the center of the Battery
Gauge when energy is being recaptured
through the regenerative braking
system.
Fuel Gauge:
The fuel gauge will indicate approximately
how much fuel is left in the fuel tank. The
fuel gauge may vary slightly when your
vehicle is moving or on a gradient. The
arrow adjacent to the fuel pump symbol
indicates on which side of the vehicle the
fuel filler door is located. Brake Coach Display:
The Brake Coach appears after your
vehicle has come to a stop. It coaches you
to brake in a manner which maximizes the
amount of energy returned through the
regenerative braking system. The percent
displayed is an indication of the
regenerative braking efficiency with 100%
representing the maximum amount of
energy recovery.
Trip Summary:
Trip Summary is displayed upon shutting
off your vehicle. The data is calculated over
the last on and off cycle.
•
Distance - The total distance traveled,
distance traveled on battery power
only (EV distance) and Regen distance
are displayed. Regen distance is the
estimated range gained from energy
recaptured through regenerative
braking.
• Fuel Use - The average fuel economy
and total fuel used are displayed. In
addition for Energi, the total electrical
energy used while in Plug-in Power
Mode is displayed in kilowatt hours
(kWh).
• Brake Score - The average percentage
of braking energy recaptured and
returned to the high voltage battery
through regenerative braking.
WARNING LAMPS AND
INDICATORS
The following warning lamps and
indicators will alert you to a vehicle

C-MAX (CCG) Instrument Cluster

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.

HINTS ON CONTROLLING THE
INTERIOR CLIMATE
General Hints
Note: Prolonged use of recirculated air may
cause the windows to fog up.
Note: You may feel a small amount of air
from the footwell air vents regardless of the
air distribution setting.
Note: To reduce humidity build-up inside
your vehicle, do not drive with the system
switched off or with recirculated air always
switched on.
Note: Do not place objects under the front
seats as this may interfere with the airflow
to the rear seats.
Note: Remove any snow, ice or leaves from
the air intake area at the base of the
windshield.
Note: Do not adjust the settings when your
vehicle interior is extremely hot or cold. The
system automatically adjusts to the
previously stored settings. For the system
to function efficiently, the instrument panel
and side air vents should be fully open.
Note: At low ambient temperatures with
AUTO selected, the system directs the air
stream toward the windshield and side
windows for as long as the engine remains
cold.
Note: When you switch off the system,
outside air does not enter your vehicle. Note:
When the system is in AUTO mode,
and the interior and exterior temperatures
are high, the system automatically selects
recirculated air to maximize cooling of the
interior. When the interior reaches the
selected temperature, the system
automatically selects outside air.
Note: When you select windshield
defrosting and defogging, the instrument
panel and footwell level functions switch
off automatically and air conditioning
switches on. Outside air flows into your
vehicle.
For maximum cooling performance, press
MAX A/C
.
To aid in side window defogging and
demisting in cold weather, press the floor
vent button.
In mild weather, you can improve your fuel
economy when using the climate control
system by using outside air instead of air
conditioning.
• Turn the temperature control knob(s)
so the interior temperature is set to
60°F (15.5°C).

objects from entering the system. Running
the system without a filter in place could
result in degradation or damage to the
system
Your cabin air filter is located under the
instrument panel in the passenger footwell
area. The particulate filtration system
reduces the concentration of airborne
particles such as dust, spores and pollen
in the air supplied to the interior of your
vehicle. The particulate filtration system gives you
and your passengers the following
benefits:
•
It improves your driving comfort by
reducing particle concentration.
• It improves the interior compartment
cleanliness.
• It protects the climate control
components from particle deposits.
Replace the filter at regular intervals. See
the
