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.

TEMPORARY MOBILITY KIT
The kit is under the front passenger seat.
It consists of an air compressor to reinflate
the tire and a sealing compound in a
canister that seals most punctures caused
by nails or similar objects. See the Wheels
and Tires section of your Owner’s Manual
for more details.
FUEL TANK CAPACITY/
FUEL INFO
C-MAX Hybrid has a 13.5 gallon (51.1L)
fuel tank capacity in addition to its high-
voltage battery system. Use only “Regular”
UNLEADED fuel with an octane rating of 87
or higher, with no more than 15% ethanol.
Do not use ethanol
E20 - E85(E85), diesel,
fuel-methanol, leaded fuel or any other
fuel because it could damage or impair the
emission control system.
EASY FUEL® SYSTEM
Place the vehicle in park (P) and switch the
ignition off. Open the fuel door, slowly insert
the fuel filler nozzle into the fuel system
and begin fueling. Wait 5-10 seconds from
the time the fuel filler nozzle shuts off until
you remove it from your vehicle to allow
residual fuel to drain into the tank.
NOTE When refilling with a portable
container, only use 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.
ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE
Your new Ford vehicle comes with
the assurance and support of 24-hour
emergency roadside assistance. To receive
roadside assistance in the United States,
call 1-800-241-3673. In Canada,
call 1-800-665-2006.
TOWING YOUR VEHICLE
Towing your vehicle behind another vehicle
(such as an RV) may be limited. Refer to
Towing the Vehicle on Four Wheels in the
Towing chapter of the Owner’s Manual.
TIRE PRESSURE
MONITORING SYSTEM
Your vehicle shows a low tire pressure
warning light in your instrument
cluster when one or more of your tires
are significantly under-inflated. If this
happens, stop and check your tires as
soon as possible. Inflate them to the
proper pressure. Refer to the Inflating
Your Tires section in the Wheels and
Tires chapter of your Owner’s Manual
for more information.
ACTIVE PARK ASSIST*
Can detect an available parallel parking space and
automatically steer the vehicle into that space (hands-free)
while you control the accelerator, gearshift and brakes. The
system visually and audibly instructs you to park the vehicle.
» To start active park assist, press
located on the
instrument panel below the audio system.
» To stop the parking procedure, grab the steering wheel or
press the control again. For complete information, refer to
the Parking Aids chapter of your Owner’s Manual.
