Right Information Display Efficiency Leaves
Efficiency leaves indicate short term driving
efficiency. The more leaves and vines that
are displayed, the better your fuel
economy. Leaves and vines will
occasionally appear and disappear to
indicate a change in driving efficiency.
Note: The efficiency leaves display can be
impacted by your use of brakes, accelerator
and accessories, as well as environmental
conditions such as hills and weather.
Common Displays Fuel Economy Displays:
Displays your average and instantaneous
fuel economy on most Display Mode
screens.
Note: You can reset your average fuel
economy by pressing and holding the OK
button on the left hand steering wheel
controls.
• Average Fuel Economy - is
continuously averaged since the last
reset. You can reset your average fuel
economy by pressing and holding the
OK button on the left hand steering
wheel controls. For Energi vehicles both
Hybrid and Plug-in Power mode
operation will be included in the
calculation.
• Instantaneous Fuel Economy - If your
instantaneous fuel economy is greater
than the maximum value displayed, a
+ sign will be shown next to the
maximum scale number. When the
vehicle is operating on battery power
only, EV is displayed and the gauge fill
is shown in blue. Battery Gauge:
Note: Battery gauge information can be
individually selected on or off through
Battery Display in the Options sub-menu.
From any main display a right arrow press
on the steering wheel controls will take you
to the Options sub-menu.
Note: For Energi vehicles there are two
versions of the battery gauge. When the
vehicle is in Hybrid Mode the information is
shown with a simple battery graphic. When
in Plug-in Power Mode an enhanced battery
graphic is provided and available electric
range is added to the display.
The high voltage battery gauge appears
on the right side of the information display
screen. This provides Charge Fill (State of
Charge), Charge Assist and Regen Display.
• Charge Fill (Hybrid Mode) - The fill
level, or State of Charge indicates the
amount of energy stored in the high
voltage battery as a percent of total
energy capacity. The level will increase
or decrease as the battery charges and
discharges during normal operation,
but the hybrid system will attempt to
control the level to approximately the
middle of the gauge under most driving
conditions.
• Charge Fill (Energi Plug-in Power
Mode) - The fill level indicates the
amount of energy stored in the high
voltage battery which is available for
Plug-in Power Mode. A full fill
represents the total amount of energy
you can get from an external charge
(plugging your vehicle in). When the fill
reaches empty your vehicle will
automatically enter Hybrid Mode.
Note: The Charge Fill is always shown for
Plug-in Power Mode, even if Charge Fill is
not selected under Battery Display in the
Options sub-menu.

Page 94 of 473

• Vehicle Range — Indicates the estimated distance the vehicle will travel with the
energy currently available. For Hybrid, the vehicle range estimate is based on the fuel
remaining in the gasoline tank. For Energi, the total estimated range equals the range
available in Hybrid Mode fueled by gasoline, plus the electric range available in Plug-in
Power Mode. Changes in driving pattern may cause the values to vary.
• Inform — Inform shows the fuel level, battery display and average fuel economy, with
options available for the Battery Display and an Instantaneous Fuel Economy gauge.
When the vehicle is operating on battery power only with the engine off, EV is displayed.
• Enlighten — Enlighten displays power demand in addition to the typical information
and options from Inform. The Instantaneous Fuel Economy gauge will be displayed
by default. When the vehicle is operating on battery power only with the engine off,
EV is displayed and the gauge fill is shown in blue. When both the engine and high
voltage battery are providing power the gauge fill is white.
• Engage — Engage replaces the power demand gauge from Enlighten with separate
gauges for engine power and high voltage battery power. The engine power gauge
fill is white and the high voltage battery power gauge fill is blue. When the vehicle is
operating on battery power only with the engine off, EV is displayed.
• Empower — Empower adds an engine on/off threshold to the power demand gauge
from Enlighten. The threshold is shown as a blue double outline. The gauge is designed
to show you how close you are to the gasoline engine on/off threshold and how much
power you are requesting based on how far you press the accelerator pedal.
When power demand is below the threshold the vehicle is operating on battery power
only with the engine off, EV is displayed and the gauge fill is shown in blue.
When power demand exceeds the threshold both the engine and the high voltage battery
provide power and the gauge fill is white.
When power demand surpasses the amber indicator, this level of demand and associated
fuel economy are shown in amber.
Note: You can reset your average fuel economy by pressing and holding the OK button on
the left hand steering wheel controls.
MyView — You can choose what to display in this view. Selecting Change MyView in the
Options menu allows you to scroll through two columns of content choices.
• Accessory Power— Indicates electrical power demands from your vehicle’s accessory
systems. Accessories use power but do not contribute to propelling the vehicle. The
gauge separately displays power demand in kilowatts (kW) for climate and other
accessories.
Climate includes the power being used by high voltage climate control components such
as the electric A/C compressor and the electric heater (Energi vehicles only)
Other includes all power being used by the low voltage accessories (cabin fans, headlights,
heated seats, etc.).

• Fuel History: This view from left to right starts with the instantaneous fuel economy
gauge and adds historical fuel economy data. The data is represented as an average
for time intervals of either 1, 2 or 6 minutes, with the left most interval being the most
recent. Total time for the 5 intervals is shown at the bottom of the view. Intervals
shown in grey color are from the previous drive.
Note: You can reset your average fuel economy by pressing and holding the OK button on
the left hand steering wheel controls.
• Coach: This view provides a comparison of your recent Acceleration, Braking and
Cruising behavior to what is recommended for most efficient use of energy under
present conditions. The horizontal bars fill from left to right with best behavior (and
Blue color) shown as at least half full. When the bars are less than half full, the color
is Amber, suggesting that a change in behavior is needed to achieve better energy
efficiency.
Note: Fuel economy is not always a measure of appropriate driving behavior. For example,
when driving uphill and maintaining an appropriate speed, your instant fuel economy may
not be good (losing leaves) but the Coach may show a blue bar for Acceleration or Cruising.

HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE Plug-in Power Mode and Hybrid
Mode (Fusion Energi Only) You must plug in your Fusion Energi vehicle
regularly for optimal use of the high
voltage battery's extended range
capability. When you charge your vehicle,
you add electrical energy that is then used
to propel the vehicle in plug-in power
mode. You can view your estimated
electric range in this mode from the
enhanced battery gauge on the instrument
panel display. The system maximizes the
use of electric-only operation in plug-in
power mode. System conditions may
require engine operation; however, the
system uses plug-in power whenever
possible.
When your plug-in power has been
depleted, the powertrain system will
automatically switch to hybrid mode. Your
battery gauge will show an electric range
of zero before transitioning to a simple
battery graphic upon entering hybrid mode.
Hybrid mode uses both the gasoline engine
and electric motor to power your vehicle
and maximize fuel economy as with Fusion
Hybrid.
EV Modes (Fusion Energi Only) E144814
Your vehicle contains selectable
EV modes through the EV button
on the center console.
These modes are available when the
vehicle can run under high voltage battery
power. With the vehicle in driving mode,
you can change EV modes with each press
of the EV button. The current mode
displays in the left hand instrument cluster
screen. Auto EV E155152
This mode provides an
automatic use of high voltage
battery power during the drive,
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 E144814
This mode provides an electric
only driving experience using
plug-in power. The left-hand
information display will change to an
Energy Use screen that supplies EV specific
tools and functions. The vehicle may
accelerate more slowly and the top speed
may be lower than in Auto mode. Your
engine may be enabled at any time by
using one of the following methods:
1. Press the OK button on the left 5–way
steering wheel control while viewing
the EV screen. The vehicle will enable
the engine as needed, and will
automatically return to EV Now after
eight seconds or when the engine is no
longer needed.
2. Press the accelerator pedal fully. A pop
up message stating Press OK to
Enable Engine will appear. Press OK
on the left steering wheel button to
activate as needed. The message will
disappear if you release the accelerator
pedal.
3. Press the EV button. This will change
the mode to EV Later and permit
engine operation.
The vehicle may automatically enter
Engine Enabled mode if system conditions
require it. A message Engine Enabled for
System Performance will display if this
occurs. This is normal function, and your
vehicle will return to EV Now when
possible.

AnswerQuestion
Your vehicle's engine and transmission are
designed to deliver the power you need at
the most efficient engine speed. This may
be higher than expected during heavy
accelerations, and may fluctuate during
steady state driving. These are character-
istics of the Atkinson engine cycle and the
transmission technology that help
maximize your hybrid's fuel economy.Why does my engine rev up so high some-
times when I accelerate?
The fan noise comes from a fan located
outside 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.What is the fan noise I hear from the rear
of my hybrid?
Change the engine oil every 10000 miles
(16000 km) or once per year under normal
operating conditions.What is the engine oil change service
interval?
Your hybrid vehicle can use E15 (15%
ethanol, 85% 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).Can I put E15 or E85 in my vehicle, and how
will it affect my fuel economy?
The high voltage battery system is designed
to last the life of the vehicle and requires
no maintenance.How long will my high voltage battery last?
Does it need maintenance?
There are no provisions for charging the
high voltage battery from a power supply
external to the vehicle. (For Fusion Energi
vehicles, the vehicle can be plugged into a
110-volt outlet with charge cord provided.)Can you charge the battery with a plug into
an A/C outlet?
Yes. Your hybrid vehicle can be flat towed
without modification. See Towing (page
213).Can I tow the hybrid behind my motor home
with all four wheels down?

GENERAL INFORMATION Note: Occasional brake noise is normal. If
a metal-to-metal, continuous grinding or
continuous squeal sound is present, the
brake linings may be worn-out. Have the
system checked by an authorized dealer. If
the vehicle has continuous vibration or
shudder in the steering wheel while braking,
have it checked by an authorized dealer.
Note: Brake dust may accumulate on the
wheels, even under normal driving
conditions. Some dust is inevitable as the
brakes wear and does not contribute to
brake noise. See Cleaning the Alloy
Wheels (page 264).E144522
See Warning Lamps and
Indicators (page 81).
Wet brakes result in reduced braking
efficiency. Gently press the brake pedal a
few times when driving from a car wash or
standing water to dry the brakes.
Brake Over Accelerator In the event the accelerator pedal
becomes stuck or entrapped, apply steady
and firm pressure to the brake pedal to
slow the vehicle and reduce engine power.
If you experience this condition, apply the
brakes and bring your vehicle to a safe
stop. Move the transmission selector lever
to position P, switch the engine off and
apply the parking brake. Inspect the
accelerator pedal for any interference. If
none are found and the condition persists,
have your vehicle towed to the nearest
authorized dealer. Brake Assist Brake assist detects when you brake
heavily by measuring the rate at which you
press the brake pedal. It provides
maximum braking efficiency as long as you
press the pedal. Brake assist can reduce
stopping distances in critical situations.
Anti-lock Brake System This system helps you maintain steering
control during emergency stops by keeping
the brakes from locking.
This lamp momentarily
illuminates when you turn the
ignition on. If the light does not
illuminate during start up, remains on or
flashes, the anti-lock braking system may
be disabled. Have the system checked by
an authorized dealer. E144522
If the system is disabled, normal
braking is still effective. If the
brake warning lamp illuminates
when you release the parking brake, have
your system checked by an authorized
dealer.
Regenerative Braking System This feature is used to simulate the engine
braking of an internal combustion engine
and assist the standard brake system while
recovering some of the energy of motion
and storing it in the battery to improve fuel
economy. The standard brake system is
designed to fully stop the car if
regenerative braking is not available.
During regenerative braking, the motor is
spun as a generator to create electrical
current. This recharges the battery and
slows the vehicle. In effect, once the
accelerator pedal is released, the motor
changes from an energy user to an energy
producer.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION WARNINGS
Vehicle modifications involving
braking system, aftermarket roof
racks, suspension, steering system,
tire construction and wheel and tire size
may change the handling characteristics
of the vehicle and may adversely affect
the performance of the AdvanceTrac
system. In addition, installing any stereo
loudspeakers may interfere with and
adversely affect the AdvanceTrac system.
Install any aftermarket stereo loudspeaker
as far as possible from the front center
console, the tunnel, and the front seats in
order to minimize the risk of interfering with
the AdvanceTrac sensors. Reducing the
effectiveness of the AdvanceTrac system
could lead to an increased risk of loss of
vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal
injury and death.
Remember that even advanced
technology cannot defy the laws of
physics. It’s always possible to lose
control of a vehicle due to inappropriate
driver input for the conditions. Aggressive
driving on any road condition can cause
you to lose control of your vehicle
increasing the risk of personal injury or
property damage. Activation of the
AdvanceTrac system is an indication that
at least some of the tires have exceeded
their ability to grip the road; this could
reduce the operator’s ability to control the
vehicle potentially resulting in a loss of
vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal
injury and death. If your AdvanceTrac
system activates, SLOW DOWN. The AdvanceTrac Control system helps
you keep control of your vehicle when on
a slippery surface. The electronic stability
control portion of the system helps avoid
skids and lateral slides. The traction
control system helps avoid drive wheel
spin and loss of traction. See Using
Traction Control (page 174).
