cruise control FORD C MAX HYBRID 2015 2.G Quick Reference Guide

THE BRAKE COACH
Appears after the vehicle has come to
a stop. It coaches you to maximize the
amount of energy returned through
the regenerative braking system. The
percentage displayed indicates the
regenerative braking efficiency.
EV+ MODE
Learns your frequent destinations after two
to four weeks of use, allowing for more EV
driving as you approach them. For example,
when nearing your home, it should be easier
to stay in electric mode.
See the Information Displays chapter of
your Owner’s Manual for more details.
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 starting
your vehicle, you
may not hear your
engine because
your hybrid-
electric 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 display. When the light
displays, you successfully started your
vehicle and it is ready to drive.

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.
