energy saving 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 two 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. Idling burns fuel, too. You can burn up to half a gallon
(1.9 liters) of fuel per hour while idling. Minimize your morning
warm-up and parking lot waits to get the most out of filling
your tank.
5. 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.
6. Use fewer accessories. Heat and air conditioning reduce your
vehicle’s electric range and can prompt the gasoline engine
to start. You can check out your “Accessory Power” screen in
your SmartGauge
® to see how much electricity your vehicle’s
accessories use. See page 4 for more SmartGauge details.
7. 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.
FUEL HISTORY AND COACH
Within the information displays you can see how your driving style
directly impacts your fuel economy.
The instant fuel economy gauge provides instant fuel economy,
plus your recent fuel economy averaged over selectable intervals
of 1, 2 or 6 minutes.
The fuel coach gauge can teach you how to improve your fuel
economy by providing feedback on your recent acceleration,
braking and cruising behavior.

SILENT KEY START
When you switch the ignition on, your engine may
not sound like it started 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 run. Instead of
listening for a traditional gasoline-powered engine
sound, look for the ‘ready to drive’ indicator light

in your information display. When this light comes on,
your vehicle started successfully and is ready to 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: Due to greater power demands
at highway speeds, your vehicle uses the gasoline engine
more frequently than when driving at city traffic speeds.
This is normal.
Braking: For added efficiency, the energy normally created by
friction during braking recycles to the battery.
Stopped: To save energy, the gasoline engine shuts off
and the electric motor stops drawing current.
ECO SELECT
This feature saves vehicle energy by slowing down acceleration
compared to standard cruise control. For example, your vehicle
may temporarily lose speed when going uphill. You can switch this
feature on and off through the Driver Assist section of the Settings
menu in the information display. To activate ECO Select , press the
button and a graphic shows on your information display.
See the Cruise Control chapter in your Owner’s Manual for
more information.

SMARTGAUGE® WITH ECOGUIDE
Delivers specific information about various systems on your vehicle using menus that build on previous data. Use your left-hand, 5-way
steering controls to scroll through your menu choices:
Vehicle Range: Estimates the distance your vehicle can travel on
the fuel remaining in the tank. Changes in your driving pattern may
cause the value to vary.
Engage: Adds gas and electric power-split information.
Empower: Adds an engine on and off threshold to the power
demand gauge from Enlighten. See how much power you request
based on how far you press the accelerator pedal. MyView: Lets you customize your menu options, allowing you
to select key information and combine it into one screen.
EcoGuide: Displays leaf graphics within the right-hand cluster,
showing you when you’re driving efficiently. More leaves equal
better driving habits!
The Brake Coach appears in the display after the vehicle has come to a stop, and coaches you to
maximize the amount of energy that can be returned through the regenerative braking system.

FUEL TANK CAPACITY/
FUEL INFO
C-MAX Hybrid has a 13.5 gallon (51.1L)
fuel tank capacity in addition to its high-
