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

choices. Select the following screens from the Display/Trip and Fuel

you have, the more efficiently you are driving!
Fuel
History: Tracks your fuel economy over time.

fuel-efficient route.
CLIMATE
SYNC with MyFord Touch controls the
temperature, airflow direction, fan speed,
and activates other climate features

operate climate, say a voice command like
“Climate temperature 72 degrees” and
MyFord Touch makes that adjustment.

110-VOLT AC POWER POINT*
The power point is on the rear of the center
console. You can use it to power smaller
electrical devices that require up to 150 watts.
This feature is available to use when you switch
on your ignition and the battery voltage is above
11 volts. When the indicator light is on, the power
point is working and ready to use.

120-VOLT CONVENIENCE CORD AND
CARGO STORAGE
Your vehicle is equipped with two under-
floor storage compartments that are located
in front of the rear seats. The compartment
behind the driver seat contains the plug-in
charge cord. The compartment behind the
passenger seat can be used to store items
discretely. Secure the lids so items stay in
place while you drive.
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.
MYFORD®
MOBILE APP FOR
SMARTPHONES
The downloadable MyFord
Mobile app lets you know the
status of your charge and upcoming charge
schedules at any time, from anywhere.
Use the App to
» See your charge status.
