Question Answer
What is the fan noise I hear from
the rear of my hybrid?The fan noise comes from a fan
located inside the high voltage
battery. This fan turns on when
the battery requires cooling air.
The fan speed, and associated
noise level, will change according
to the amount of cooling required
to maintain good performance.
Maintaining the battery
temperature at optimal conditions
also prolongs the useful life of the
battery and helps to achieve better
fuel economy.
How far can I go in Electric Drive
if I run out of gas?Running out of gas is not
recommended. However, you may
be able to go about one mile,
driving at 30 mph (48 km/h), if the
battery has a normal state of
charge.
What is the engine oil change
service interval?The engine oil should be changed
every 10,000 miles (16,000 km)
under normal operating conditions.
See theScheduled Maintenance
Guidechapter.
Can I put E10 or E85 in my
vehicle, and how will it affect my
fuel economy?Your hybrid vehicle can use E10
(10% ethanol, 90% gasoline) fuel,
but you may notice slightly
reduced fuel economy because
ethanol contains less energy per
gallon than gasoline. Your hybrid
vehicle is not designed to use E85
(85% ethanol).

DATA RECORDING
Service Data Recording
Service data recorders in your vehicle are capable of collecting and
storing diagnostic information about your vehicle. This potentially
includes information about the performance or status of various systems
and modules in the vehicle, such as engine, throttle, steering or brake
systems. In order to properly diagnose and service your vehicle, Ford
Motor Company, Ford of Canada, and service and repair facilities may
access or share among them vehicle diagnostic information received
through a direct connection to your vehicle when diagnosing or servicing
your vehicle. For U.S. only (if equipped), if you choose to use the SYNC
Vehicle Health Report, you consent that certain diagnostic information
may also be accessed electronically by Ford Motor Company and Ford
authorized service facilities, and that the diagnostic information may be
used for any purpose. See yourSYNCsupplement for more information.
Event Data Recording
This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The
main purpose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near
crash-like situations, such as an airbag deployment or hitting a
road obstacle; this data will assist in understanding how a
vehicle’s systems performed. The EDR is designed to record data
related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period
of time, typically 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle is
designed to record such data as:
•How various systems in your vehicle were operating;
•Whether or not the driver and passenger seatbelts were
buckled/fastened;
•How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator
and/or the brake pedal; and
•How fast the vehicle was travelling; and
•Where the driver was positioning the steering wheel.
This data can help provide a better understanding of the
circumstances in which crashes and injuries occur.
Note: EDR data is recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial
crash situation occurs; no data is recorded by the EDR under
normal driving conditions and no personal data or information
(e.g., name, gender, age, and crash location) is recorded (see
Introduction
13
2010 Fusion Hybrid(hfv)
Owners Guide, 3rd Printing
USA(fus)

limitations regarding 911 Assist and Traffic, directions and
Information privacy below). However, parties, such as law
enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type of
personally identifying data routinely acquired during a crash
investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required,
and access to the vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the
vehicle manufacturer, other parties, such as law enforcement,
that have such special equipment, can read the information if
they have access to the vehicle or the EDR. Ford Motor Company
and Ford of Canada do not access event data recorder
information without obtaining consent, unless pursuant to court
order or where required by law enforcement, other government
authorities or other third parties acting with lawful authority.
Other parties may seek to access the information independently
of Ford Motor Company and Ford of Canada.
Note: Including to the extent that any law pertaining to Event
Data Recorders applies to SYNCor its features, please note the
following: Once 911 Assist (if equipped) is enabled (set ON), 911
Assist may, through any paired and connected cell phone, disclose
to emergency services that the vehicle has been in a crash
involving the deployment of an airbag or, in certain vehicles, the
activation of the fuel pump shut-off. Certain versions or updates
to 911 Assist may also be capable of being used to electronically
or verbally provide to 911 operators the vehicle location (such as
latitude and longitude), and/or other details about the vehicle or
crash or personal information about the occupants to assist 911
operators to provide the most appropriate emergency services. If
you do not want to disclose this information, do not activate the
911 Assist feature. See your SYNCsupplement for more
information.
Additionally, when you connect to Traffic, Directions and
Information (if equipped, U.S. only) the service uses GPS
technology and advanced vehicle sensors to collect the vehicle’s
current location, travel direction, and speed (“vehicle travel
information”) only to help provide you with the directions, traffic
reports, or business searches your request. If you do not want
Ford or its vendors to receive this information, do not activate
the service. Ford Motor Company and the vendors it uses to
provide you with this information do not store your vehicle travel
information. For more information, see Traffic, Directions and
Information, Terms and Conditions. See your SYNCsupplement
for more information.

WARNING LIGHTS AND CHIMES
Warning lights and gauges can alert you to a vehicle condition that may
become serious enough to cause extensive repairs. A warning light may
illuminate when a problem exists with one of your vehicle’s functions.
Many lights will illuminate when you start your vehicle to make sure the
bulbs work. If any light remains on after starting the vehicle, refer to the
respective system light explanation later in this section for additional
information.
Note:Some warning lights are reconfigurable telltale (RTT) indicators;
they will display in the message center and function the same as the
warning light, but they will not display on startup as regular warning
lights do.
Service engine soon:The service
engine soon light illuminates when
the ignition is turned to the on
position to check the bulb.
•Illuminates with key on, vehicle off:If the light illuminates, the
service engine soon light is working properly.
•Illuminates with key on, vehicle off, then starts to blink:The
light illuminates when the ignition is turned to the on position to
check the bulb and to indicate whether the vehicle is ready for
Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) testing. If after 15 seconds the service
engine soon light blinks eight times, it means that the vehicle is not
ready for Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) testing. This can occur if the
vehicle’s engine or transmission has just been serviced, or the battery
has recently run down or been disconnected. If the vehicle does not
need I/M testing, do nothing. The vehicle is designed to check the
Instrument Cluster

emission control system during normal driving. If the vehicle needs
I/M testing, refer to theReadiness for Inspection/Maintenance (I/M)
testingsection in theMaintenance and Specificationschapter.
•Illuminates with engine running:The light stays on after the
engine is started. It indicates that the on board diagnostics system has
detected a problem with the engine, transmission or an
emission-related component or system. Contact your authorized dealer
as soon as possible. The vehicle will usually be drivable and will not
require towing. Refer toOn-board diagnostics (OBD-II)section in
theMaintenance and Specificationschapter for information on
temporary malfunctions that may not require vehicle service.
•Blinks with engine running:The light stays on after the engine is
started and sometimes blinks. It indicates that the On Board
Diagnostics System has detected an engine misfire problem with the
engine. While the light is blinking, engine misfire is occurring which
could damage your catalytic converter. Drive in a moderate fashion
(avoid heavy acceleration and deceleration) and contact your
authorized dealer as soon as possible.
WARNING:Under engine misfire conditions, excessive exhaust
temperatures could damage the catalytic converter, the fuel
system, interior floor coverings or other vehicle components, possibly
causing a fire.
Brake system warning:To confirm
the brake system warning light is
functional, it will momentarily
illuminate when the ignition is
turned to the on position (when the
engine is not running), or in a position between on and start, or by
applying the parking brake when the ignition is turned to the on
position. If the brake system warning light does not illuminate at this
time, contact your authorized dealer as soon as possible. Illumination
after releasing the parking brake indicates low brake fluid level or brake
system malfunction. Contact your authorized dealer as soon as possible.

ignition is turned to the on position.
Illuminates to remind you to fasten
your safety belt. A Belt-Minder
chime will also sound to remind you to fasten your safety belt. Refer to
theSeating and Safety Restraintschapter to activate/deactivate the
Belt-Minderchime feature.
Stop safely hazard warning
(RTT):Indicates Hybrid component
fault/failure that will cause the
vehicle to shutdown, fail to start or
enter into a limited operating mode. A message may also display in the
message center.
Note: If the vehicle is still running, the vehicle may soon
shutdown without further warning and should be stopped safely.
If this lamp is lit, stop the vehicle, shift to P (Park), turn the key to the
off position, and attempt to restart the vehicle. If the fault remains, the
vehicle may require refueling, jump starting or service. For information
regarding the low-voltage (12–volt) battery only, please refer toJump
starting (low voltage [underhood] battery only)in theRoadside
Emergencieschapter.
Ready to drive:Illuminates once
the vehicle has successfully started
and will remain lit throughout the
drive. Indicates the vehicle is ready
to drive even when you don’t hear
the gasoline engine running.
Ready to drive (RTT):Illuminates
briefly once the vehicle has
successfully started. Indicates that
the vehicle is ready to drive even
when you don’t hear the gasoline
engine running.
Charging system (RTT):
Illuminates when the low-voltage
(12-volt) battery is not charging
properly. The message center
displays CHECK CHARGING SYSTEM. If it stays on while the vehicle is
running (Ready to drive indicator is illuminated), there may be a

History graph:Indicates average
fuel economy in 10, 20, or
60 minute intervals. You can choose
the interval using the message
center. The graph is updated each
minute with the fuel economy that
was achieved during the prior 1, 2,
or 6 minutes of driving, respectively.
Each new average will be added to
the left side of the graph, shifting
the past data to the right. When the
graph area is full, the right most point will be deleted, keeping a running
scroll with the bar on the left being the most recent. Note that previous
values will remain when the vehicle is shut off and restarted, but values
from a previous drive cycle will be grayed out. The average fuel economy
since the last reset, or last 2,000 miles (3,200 km) of driving, is shown as
a horizontal line across the bar graph.
Refer toMessage centerin this chapter for more information on the
history graph display mode.
No efficiency information:If you choose, you may turn off both the
Efficiency leaves and History Graph using the message center. In this
case, the portion of your instrument cluster devoted to this information
will be blank.
Refer toMessage centerin this chapter for more information on
choosing no efficiency information.
Average fuel economy:Your average fuel economy in miles/gallon will
be displayed at the top right of your vehicle’s instrument cluster or in
liters/100 km at the lower right along with the efficiency leaves, history
graph or no display (shown previously with history graph). You may
reset this average at any time. Refer toMessage centerin this chapter
for more information on the average fuel economy display mode.
If you calculate your average fuel economy by dividing distance traveled
by amount of fuel used, your figure may be different than displayed for
the following reasons:
•Your vehicle was not perfectly level during fill-up
•Differences in the automatic shut-off points on the fuel pumps at
service stations
•Variations in top-off procedure from one fill-up to another
•Rounding of the displayed values to the nearest 0.1 gallon (liter)
