Fusion Energi comes equipped with a 120-volt convenience cord that is located in your trunk storage compartment underneath the carpeted panel. This cord allows you to charge the battery using a standard, 120-volt, grounded, three-pronged household outlet. See your Owner's Manual for details.
»
For faster charge times, the available 240-volt charging station provides a full charge in approximately 2.5 hours. See your dealer for more information.
Charge Port/Light Ring
The charge port is located between the front left side door and front left wheel well. To open, press the indentation on
the charge port door. To close, press and hold the indentation until the door rotates and closes.
Fusion Energi Charging
1. Put your vehicle in P (Park) and turn the ignition off.
2. Open the charge port door by pressing the door’s indentation. The door will rotate open.
3. Plug the charging cord into the wall outlet. Always plug the cord into the AC outlet before connecting the charging coupler into the vehicle’s charge port receptacle.
4. Plug the charging coupler into the vehicle’s charge port. Make sure the button clicks to lock it into the port. When a connection has been detected, each section of the light ring will flash in a clockwise manner two full times (indicating the beginning of a normal charge cycle).
5. When you are done charging your vehicle, press the button on the charging coupler and remove it from the vehicle.
Choose Your Energy Mode
Your vehicle contains driver-selectable EV modes controlled through the EV button on the center console. Choose to drive in electric-only mode for city driving, save your plug-in power for later or let the system adjust your power mode to suit the current driving conditions.
» Auto EV: automatically selects between gasoline and electric motor use, staying in electric mode when possible and running the engine when
needed. This mode will be the only one available if the plug-in power has been depleted.
» EV Now: puts your vehicle into an all-electric driving experience using plug-in power.
» EV Later: puts the vehicle into hybrid
mode, reserving the plug-in power for later.
Preconditioning
Get the most miles out of every charge by preconditioning your vehicle while it is still plugged in and charging. Set the cabin temperature and departure time before you leave, so you use energy from your wall outlet instead of from your battery.
SmartGauge®

Use your 5-way controls located on your steering wheel to customize the dual LCD screens in the instrument panel. These innovative displays provide real-time information to help you get the most out of your plug-in hybrid. You can also view traditional information, such as distance
traveled and fuel level.

Silent Key Start (SKS)
When you turn the ignition on, your engine may not sound like it has started because your hybrid-electric vehicle is equipped with Silent Key Start (SKS). This fuel-saving feature allows your vehicle to be ready to drive without requiring your gas engine to be running. Instead of listening for a traditional gasoline-powered engine sound, look for the ‘ready to drive’ indicator light in your instrument cluster. When the light illuminates, your vehicle has been successfully started and is ready to drive.
Unique Driving Characteristics
When you charge your vehicle, you add electrical energy that propels the vehicle while it is in plug-in power mode. While you are in this mode, the battery gauge on the instrument panel shows your estimated, electric-only range. Powertrain system conditions may require engine operation, but the system will return to plug-in power whenever possible.
When your plug-in power has been depleted, the system will automatically switch to hybrid mode, using both the gasoline engine and electric motor to power your vehicle and maximize fuel economy. During the transition, the battery gauge will change from the enhanced battery graphic to a simple battery graphic, showing your state of charge as a percentage of the battery's hybrid-mode capacity.
High-voltage Lithium-ion Battery System
The battery is located in the rear cargo area. Should there be a malfunction, the battery should only be serviced by an authorized electric vehicle technician. Refer to 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. ECO Cruise can be turned off through the Driver Assist section of the Settings menu.
EV+ Mode
Your vehicle will automatically learn to recognize your frequent destinations and allow for more EV driving as you approach them. For example, when nearing your home, it should be easier to stay in electric mode. The EV indicator will display EV+ when this mode is active. Frequent destinations are learned by your vehicle after two to four weeks of use. These destinations can be cleared with a Lifetime Summary reset through the Settings menu. The EV+ feature can also be turned off through the Driver Assist section of the Settings menu.

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.
ESSENTIAL FEATURES
Towing Your Fusion Energi
Towing your vehicle behind an RV or any other vehicle may be limited. Refer to Towing the Vehicle on Four Wheels in the Towing chapter of your Owner's Manual.
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.
Tire Mobility Kit
Fusion Energi is equipped with a tire mobility kit that is located under the front passenger seat. It consists of an air compressor to reinflate the tire and a sealing compound in a canister that will seal most punctures caused by nails or similar objects. Refer to the Wheels and Tires chapter of your Owner’s Manual for more details.
Tire Pressure
Monitoring System
Your vehicle illuminates a low tire pressure warning light in your instrument cluster when one or more of your tires are significantly underinflated. If this happens, stop and check your tires as soon as possible, then 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.
Electric Parking Brake
This feature replaces the conventional handbrake. The operating switch is located on the center console, to the left of the gearshift lever. To apply the electric parking brake, pull the switch up. The brake system warning lamp will illuminate to confirm that the electric parking brake has been applied.
You can release the electric parking brake manually by turning the ignition on, pressing the brake pedal and then pressing the electric parking brake switch.
Refer to the Brakes chapter of your Owner's Manual for more details.

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.
