» Change your map views from Direction
Headed, North Up or 3-D. Set a Destination

on the map or a point of interest (POI).
The easiest way, however, is by voice.

1. Pull the voice control
.
When prompted, say “Destination
street address”.
2. The system asks you to say the
full address and then displays an
example on-screen.
3. You can then speak the address
naturally, such as: “One two three
Main Street, Anytown”.
You can also use the touchscreen to enter a
destination and narrow your choices by city
or street as you type.
You can choose from up to three different
types of routes:
» Fastest: Uses the fastest moving
roads possible.
» Shortest: Uses the shortest
distance possible.
» Eco (EcoRoute): Uses the most
fuel-efficient route.
CLIMATE
SYNC with MyFord Touch controls the
temperature, airflow direction, fan speed,
and activates other climate features
like heated front seats for you and your
passenger. To use voice commands to
operate climate, say a voice command like
“Climate temperature 72 degrees” and
MyFord Touch makes that adjustment.
Set Your Temperature
» Touch the lower-right, blue Climate
corner on the touchscreen.
» Set your exact, desired temperature by
using the + or – buttons.

NOTE If you do not add new fuel during
an 18-month period, fuel freshness mode
then consumes fuel until about 1 gallon
(3.8 liters) remains in the tank.
During Fuel Freshness Mode
» The information display screen
indicates that fuel freshness mode
is active.
» The vehicle runs only in hybrid mode.
EV Now mode is not available.
» Most of the plug-in power stores until
fuel freshness mode is complete.
NOTE EV Now resumes if less than
1 gallon (3.8 liters) of fuel is left in the tank.
NOTE In most cases, when the fuel level
is below 1/4 tank, refueling the vehicle ends
fuel freshness mode and EV Now becomes
available. Refueling after consuming a full
tank in fuel freshness mode also ends
the mode.
NOTE We recommend that you use
a fuel stabilizer if your vehicle consumes
less than a full tank of fuel during an
18-month period.
OIL MAINTENANCE MODE
The Oil Maintenance mode automatically
keeps the engine oil quality in good
condition when you drive the vehicle
with limited engine use. When you start
the vehicle in Oil Maintenance mode, a
message appears in the information display.
FUEL FRESHNESS MODE
This feature helps keep the fuel system
functional and the fuel in your tank fresh.
If you operate your vehicle mainly in plug-in
power mode using electricity from plugging
in without refueling, the gasoline in your
tank eventually becomes old. Old fuel can
damage the engine and fuel system.
To prevent the fuel from becoming old, your
vehicle automatically enters fuel freshness
mode. In fuel freshness mode, your vehicle
operates in hybrid mode causing the
gasoline engine to run in order to consume
the fuel in the fuel tank.
18 19
When the vehicle is in Oil Maintenance
mode, the vehicle runs the engine as
necessary. That means if you select the
EV Now mode when the vehicle is in the
Oil Maintenance mode, EV Now mode
suspends for as long as you are in Oil
Maintenance mode. You can suspend the
Oil Maintenance mode by getting regular
oil changes and resetting the oil life
monitoring system.

information
FUEL TANK CAPACITY
AND FUEL INFO
C-MAX Energi has a 14.0 gallon (53L)
fuel tank capacity, in addition to its
high-voltage battery system.
Use only UNLEADED fuel or UNLEADED
fuel blended with a maximum of 15%
ethanol. Do not use ethanol (E85),
diesel, fuel-methanol, leaded fuel or
any other fuel because it could damage
or impair the emission control system.
Leaded fuel use is prohibited by law.
REFUELING
Your vehicle features a locking
fuel door and an auto-sealing
feature that locks the fuel tank
refueling valve.
1. Put your vehicle into park (P) and switch
off the ignition.
2. Press the button
located on the center
console. Pressing this button unlocks the
fuel tank refueling valve, allowing the fuel
filler door to open so you can insert the
fuel filler nozzle into the fuel inlet.
3. Wait up to 15 seconds
before opening the fuel
filler door. During this time,
a Fuel Door Opening
message appears in
the Information display.
4. When the door opens,
a Fuel Door Open message appears
in the information display, indicating
that the vehicle is ready for refueling.
The vehicle remains ready to refuel for
approximately 20 minutes. If you need
more than 20 minutes to refuel, you must
press the refueling button again. You may
experience the fuel pump shutting off if
the refuel button is not pressed again.
5. Open the fuel filler door.
6. Slowly insert the fuel filler nozzle fully
into the fuel system, and leave the nozzle
fully inserted to open both doors until you
finish pumping. Hold the handle higher
during insertion for easier access.
7. After you are done pumping fuel, slowly
remove the fuel filler nozzle. Allow
approximately 5–10 seconds after
pumping fuel before removing the fuel
filler nozzle. This allows residual fuel to
drain back into the fuel tank and not spill
onto the vehicle.
NOTE When refilling with a portable
container, use only the funnel that comes
with your vehicle. Do not use aftermarket
funnels as they do not work with the
Easy Fuel
® system and may cause damage.
You can purchase extra funnels from your
authorized dealer.
