fuel tips
HELP MAXIMIZE YOUR FUEL ECONOMY BY UTILIZING THESE FEW TIPS
1. Use smooth acceleration and braking.
According to the United States
Department of Energy, aggressive driving
can lower your gas mileage by up to
33 percent at highway speeds and
5 percent in the city.
2. Carry the bare essentials.
The Department of Energy estimates
that an extra 100 pounds (45 kilograms)
in your vehicle could reduce your fuel
economy by up to 2 percent.
3. Seasonal fuel makes a difference.
Winter fuel contains slightly less energy
than summer fuel, so the fuel blend you
fill up with can impact your efficiency. 4.
Avoid extreme temperatures.
Find a shady or sheltered spot to help
keep your lithium-ion battery operating
efficiently, and minimize the amount of
energy required to heat or cool your cabin.
5. Use climate controls and
accessories wisely.
Heat and air conditioning reduce your
vehicle’s electric range and often require
the engine to operate. Switch on heated
seats and lower your temperature
setting to save energy. You can also
use energy from your home outlet or
charging station by taking advantage of
the preconditioning feature and setting
your GO Times in advance. When you precondition your vehicle, you can reduce
the amount of heating or air conditioning
you need at the start of your drive. See
page 3 for more SmartGauge
® details.
6. Check your tires.
Proper tire inflation can help you
improve your fuel economy by up to
3.3 percent, according to the Department
of Energy, while under-inflation could
lower your fuel economy by 0.3 percent
for every 1 psi drop in pressure of all four
tires. Check your vehicle’s door sticker for
recommended cold tire inflation pressure.
SMARTGAUGE® WITH ECOGUIDE
Use your 5-way steering wheel controls to scroll through your menu
choices. Select the following screens from the Display/Trip and Fuel
Economy menus to help improve your fuel efficiency:
Engage: Provides gas and electric power-split information, plus
instant and average fuel economy.
Empower: Provides a power demand gauge with an engine on and
off threshold, plus instant and average fuel economy.
MyView: Shows a customized view with information such as
Vehicle Range, Coolant Temperature and more.
Energy Use: Helps improve your electric driving range with the
energy use and climate power gauges.
Efficiency
Leaves: Shows your short-term fuel economy. The more leaves
you have, the more efficiently you are driving!
Fuel
History: Tracks your fuel economy over time.
Coach: Rates recent acceleration efficiency, braking and
cruising behavior. The more blue you see, the better
you are driving!

THE BRAKE COACH
Appears after the vehicle has come to a
stop. It coaches you to brake in a manner
that maximizes the amount of energy
returned through the regenerative braking
system. The percentage displayed indicates
the regenerative braking efficiency.
EV+ MODE
Recognizes your frequent destinations and
allows for more EV driving. The EV indicator
displays EV+ when this mode is active.
You should see this approximately 1/8 mile
(200 meters) from a frequent destination.
Frequent destinations are learned by your
vehicle after two to four weeks of use.
ECO CRUISE CONTROL
Saves vehicle energy by slowing
down acceleration compared
to standard cruise control. Your
vehicle may relax its acceleration
temporarily when going uphill. You can
switch this feature on and off in the Driver
Assist section of the Settings menu.
EFFICIENCY LEAVES
The right vehicle information display
provides a visual representation of your
driving behavior. The leaves grow as driving
habits and efficiency improve.
THE BATTERY GAUGE
During Plug-in Power Mode,
a full battery fill represents
the total amount of energy
you can get from an external
charge (plugging your
vehicle in). It is normal for your electric range
estimate to vary from charge to
charge due to changes in average
energy usage. Driving style, drive
route, extreme temperatures and
use of heat and air conditioning
affect your energy usage.
SILENT KEY START
When you switch
on the ignition,
your engine may
not sound like it is
running because your hybrid vehicle
includes silent key start. This fuel-
saving feature allows your vehicle to
be ready to drive without requiring
your gas engine to be running. Look for
the ‘ready to drive’ indicator light

in your instrument cluster. When the
light displays, you successfully started
your vehicle and it is ready to drive.

4. The charge port light ring flashes twice, and then pulses
slowly when charging.
5. When charging completes, the light ring turns off.
Unlock the padlock* and remove it. Then press the coupler
button and remove the coupler from the charge port.
CHOOSE YOUR C-MAX ENERGI MODE
Your vehicle contains driver-selectable Electric
Vehicle (EV) modes controlled through the EV
button on the center of the instrument panel,
below the climate controls.
Choose to drive in electric-only mode for city driving, saving
your plug-in power for later or let the system adjust your power
mode to suit the current driving conditions.
» Auto EV: automatically selects high-voltage battery power
during the drive, staying in electric mode when possible
and running the engine when needed. After the plug-in
power depletes, this mode is the only one available.
» EV Now: puts your vehicle into an all-electric power
experience, after you charge your vehicle using
plug-in power.
» EV Later: provides gasoline-hybrid driving power,
and saves most of the high-voltage battery
plug-in power for future use when the driver
is ready to switch to Auto EV or EV Now modes.

vehicle lifestyle, please visit www.PlugintoFord.com.

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 you
need more power.
Accelerating: Step on the accelerator pedal and get all the
responsiveness of a traditional gasoline engine.
Cruising or Highway Driving: With greater power demands
at highway speeds, your vehicle uses the gasoline engine
more frequently than while driving at city traffic speeds.
This is normal.
Braking: For added efficiency, the energy normally created
during braking recycles to the battery.
Stopped: To save energy, the gasoline engine shuts off
and the electric motor stops drawing current.
