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.

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.
