check engine light FORD FUSION (AMERICAS) 2013 2.G Quick Reference Guide

Fuel Tank
Capacity/Fuel Info
Your vehicle has a fuel tank capacity of 14.0 gallons (53 liters). Use only “Regular” unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher. Do not use E85 fuels because your vehicle is not designed to run on fuels with more than 15% ethanol.
Transmission
Your plug-in hybrid's transmission is designed to work seamlessly, so you may not feel shift changes as you normally would in a gasoline-powered vehicle; however, you may feel the transition when the system changes from electric vehicle (EV) mode to gas mode. This is normal. Since your engine speed is controlled by the transmission, it may seem elevated at times. This is also normal operation, as it helps deliver fuel efficiency and performance.
Easy Fuel® System
Unlock the fuel door by pressing the fuel button located to the right of your transmission shifter lever—it could be up to 15 seconds before the fuel door opens. Insert the fuel nozzle and begin fueling. Wait 10 seconds after the nozzle is shut off before you remove it from the vehicle. This allows the residual fuel to drain into the tank.
NOTE When using a portable fuel container, only use the funnel that comes with your vehicle. Do not use aftermarket funnels as they will not work with the Easy Fuel System, and may cause damage. Refer to the Fuel and Refueling chapter of your Owner's
Manual for more information.

Fuel Freshness Mode
If you operate your vehicle mainly in plug-in power mode, 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 will automatically enter fuel freshness mode that causes the gasoline engine to run in order to consume the fuel in the fuel tank. Refer to the Fuel and Refueling chapter of your Owner's Manual for more information.
