•Budget Text View: contains basic information to help you reach your
next charging destination or to achieve your vehicle range estimate.
Charge pt: is the distance remaining to the next charge point you
identified using the Navigation system.
Surplus: is the available range beyond your identified charge point
(current Range Estimate shown on Battery Gauge minus Charge pt
distance).
If you don’t enter a charge point, you will see:
Budget: is set to the Range Estimate at the point of departure.
This will count down with the odometer.
Status: is your performance against your Budget (current Range
Estimate shown on Battery Gauge minus Budget distance). A positive
Status indicates you are using less energy than typical and have
extended your Range Estimate by the distance shown.

Side Window Defogging or Defrosting
1. Select air distribution through the floor vent.
2. Select air distribution through the panel vent.
3. SelectA/C.
4. Adjust the temperature control to maintain comfort.
5. Set the fan to the highest speed.
6. Direct the outer instrument panel vents toward the side windows.
To increase airflow to the outer instrument panel vents, close the vents
located in the middle of the instrument panel.
Improving Vehicle Drive Range
Your vehicle is equipped with a high voltage electric compressor and a
high voltage electric heater. You can increase your driving range by
minimizing the amount of energy expended to cool or heat the interior
during the drive.
•Pre-condition the interior temperature during vehicle charging
reduces the battery energy use on the interior comfort and improves
range. SeeConvenience charging with MyFord mobilein the
Charging Your High Voltage Batterychapter.Note:Your vehicle
may not always reach the set cabin temperature due to charging and
ambient temperature conditions.
•Hot and cold temperatures make your vehicle use more energy to
achieve and maintain a comfortable interior temperature. Park the
vehicle in the shade or in a parking structure when hot, and in a
garage when cold.
•Consider partially opening a window (or windows) to let fresh air
circulate, if weather conditions permit. You can achieve maximum
energy savings by switching the climate system off. Do this only if
conditions exist for safe vehicle operation.
•Reduce fan speed.
•Set the AUTO temperature a couple degrees cooler than you normally
do on cold days and a couple degrees higher on hot days. Use the
heated seats on cold days to increase interior comfort.
•Switch the air conditioning off in mild temperatures or low humidity
conditions.

HIGH-VOLTAGE BATTERY
WARNING:This battery pack should only be serviced by an
authorized electric vehicle technician. Improper handling can
result in personal injury or death.
Your vehicle consists of various high-voltage components and wiring. All
of the high-voltage power flows through specific wiring assemblies which
are labeled as such and/or are covered with a solid orange convolute or
orange striped tape. Do not come in contact with these components.
No regular maintenance, other than regular charging is required.
The high-voltage battery system is a high-voltage, lightweight lithium-ion
battery system comprised of two individual packs. One pack is located in
the rear cargo area behind the second row seats, and the other is located
underneath the vehicle. The high-voltage battery system uses an advanced,
active liquid heating and cooling system to regulate high-voltage battery
temperature and help maximize high-voltage battery life.
Note:The lithium-ion, high-voltage battery will experience gradual
capacity loss with time and use, which is considered normal wear and tear.
CHARGING THE HIGH-VOLTAGE BATTERY
WARNING:Do not use the 120 volt convenience cord with an
extension cord or adapter.
WARNING:In Canada, do not use the 120 volt convenience cord
in commercial garages.
WARNING:This equipment has arcing or sparking parts that
should not be exposed to flammable vapors. This equipment
should be located at least 18 inches (80 mm) above the floor.
