12 Volt DC Power Point WARNING
Do not plug optional electrical
accessories into the cigar lighter
socket (if equipped). Improper use
of the lighter can cause damage not
covered by y our warranty, and can result
in fire or serious injury.
Note: If used when the vehicle is not
running, the battery will discharge. There
may be insufficient power to restart your
vehicle.
Note: Do not insert objects other than an
accessory plug into the power point. This
will damage the outlet and blow the fuse.
Note: Do not hang any type of accessory or
accessory bracket from the plug.
Note: Do not use the power point over the
vehicle capacity of 12 volt DC 180 watts or
a fuse may blow.
Note: Do not use the power point for
operating a cigar lighter element.
Note: Improper use of the power point can
cause damage not covered by your
warranty.
Note: Always keep the power point caps
closed when not in use.
Run the vehicle for full capacity use of the
power point. To prevent the battery from
discharging accidentally:
• Do not use the power point longer than
necessary when the vehicle is not
running.
• Do not leave devices plugged in
overnight or when you park your vehicle
for extended periods.
Locations
Power points may be in the following
locations: • in the front of the center console
• inside the center console storage bin
• on the rear of the center console.
110 Volt AC Power Point (If Equipped)
WARNING
Do not keep electrical devices
plugged in the power point whenever
the device is not in use. Do not use
any extension cord with the 110 volt AC
power point, since it will defeat the safety
protection design. Doing so my cause the
power point to overload due to powering
multiple devices that can reach beyond
the 150 watt load limit and could result in
fire or serious injury.
Note: Keep the vehicle running to use the
power point.
E143941
You can use the power point for powering
electrical devices that require up to 150
watts. It is on the rear of the center
console.
When the indicator light, located on the
power point, is:
• on — power point is ready to supply
power.
• off — power point power supply is off;
ignition is not on.
• flashing — power point is in fault mode.

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?
147Unique Driving Characteristics

Illumination of the service engine soon
indicator, charging system warning light or
the temperature warning light, fluid leaks,
strange odors, smoke or loss of engine
power could indicate that the emission
control system is not working properly.
An improperly operating or damaged
exhaust system may allow exhaust to
enter the vehicle. Have a damaged or
improperly operating exhaust system
inspected and repaired immediately.
Do not make any unauthorized changes to
your vehicle or engine. By law, vehicle
owners and anyone who manufactures,
repairs, services, sells, leases, trades
vehicles, or supervises a fleet of vehicles
are not permitted to intentionally remove
an emission control device or prevent it
from working. Information about your
vehicle’s emission system is on the Vehicle
Emission Control Information Decal
located on or near the engine. This decal
also lists engine displacement
Please consult your warranty information
for complete details.
On-Board Diagnostics (OBD-II) Your vehicle is equipped with a computer
that monitors the engine’s emission control
system. This system is commonly known
as the on-board diagnostics system
(OBD-II). The OBD-II system protects the
environment by ensuring that your vehicle
continues to meet government emission
standards. The OBD-II system also assists
your authorized dealer in properly servicing
your vehicle.
When the service engine soon
indicator illuminates, the OBD-II
system has detected a
malfunction. Temporary malfunctions may
cause the service engine soon indicator to
illuminate. Examples are:
1. The vehicle has run out of fuel—the
engine may misfire or run poorly. 2. Poor fuel quality or water in the
fuel—the engine may misfire or run
poorly.
3. The fuel fill inlet may not have been
properly closed. See Refueling (page
149).
4. Driving through deep water—the
electrical system may be wet.
These temporary malfunctions can be
corrected by filling the fuel tank with good
quality fuel, properly closing the fuel fill
inlet or letting the electrical system dry out.
After three driving cycles without these or
any other temporary malfunctions present,
the service engine soon indicator should
stay off the next time the engine is started.
A driving cycle consists of a cold engine
startup followed by mixed city/highway
driving. No additional vehicle service is
required.
If the service engine soon indicator remains
on, have your vehicle serviced at the first
available opportunity. Although some
malfunctions detected by the OBD-II may
not have symptoms that are apparent,
continued driving with the service engine
soon indicator on can result in increased
emissions, lower fuel economy, reduced
engine and transmission smoothness, and
lead to more costly repairs.
Readiness for
Inspection/Maintenance (I/M)
Testing Some state/provincial and local
governments may have
Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) programs
to inspect the emission control equipment
on your vehicle. Failure to pass this
inspection could prevent you from getting
a vehicle registration.
If the service engine soon
indicator is on or the bulb does
not work, the vehicle may need
to be serviced. See On-Board Diagnostics.

BATTERY (ENERGI VEHICLES) WARNINGS
Do not use the 120-volt convenience
cord with extension cord or adapter.
In Canada, do not use the 120-volt
convenience cord in commercial
garages.
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 millimeters) above the floor.
Charging Equipment
E163425
Your vehicle comes equipped with a
standard 120-volt convenience cord. Lift
the load floor carpet in the rear of the
vehicle to access the 120–volt convenience
cord.
Note: The 120–volt convenience cord
allows you to charge the high-voltage
battery using a standard 120-volt household
outlet. Using the standard 120-volt
convenience cord takes up to 7 hours to
completely charge from an empty battery.
161High Voltage Battery

E145429
Ford recommends upgrading to the
optional 240-volt charging station for
faster more efficient charging. Use of a
240-volt charging station will take
approximately 2½ hours to fully charge a
empty battery.
Note: Your electrical source must meet
certain requirements for the high-voltage
batteries to charge. The AC outlet must be
a three-prong 110-120 volt AC outlet that is
properly grounded, 15–20 amps (or greater),
and in good condition. The line also must
be dedicated, which means that no other
appliances should be connected to the
same circuit. If a dedicated circuit is not
used, the circuit breaker could trip or open.
If a dedicated circuit is not available, contact
a licensed professional electrician for proper
installation.
Make sure that the 120–volt convenience
cord is completely unwound before
charging. Always plug the cord into the AC
outlet before connecting the charging
coupler into the vehicle’s charge port
receptacle. The 120–volt convenience cord
inline control box has three indicator lights
that represent the charging status; power,
charge and fault.
Power (green light)— this indicator lights
up when the cord is plugged into the AC
wall outlet.
Charge (green light)— indicates status
of charging: • No light means the cord is not
connected to the vehicle.
• Blinking light means that the charging
is in process.
• Solid light means that the vehicle is
connected but not charging.
Fault (red triangle light)— Lights up in
case of a detected failure. No charging is
possible:
• Blinking red triangle light – means that
the 120–volt convenience cord is trying
to reset the failure and could restart
the charging cycle.
• Solid red triangle light – means that
the fault is permanent. The cord needs
to be unplugged and re-plugged to
reset the fault. If the fault persists,
contact your authorized dealer.
Charge Port
The charge port is located between the
front left side door and front left wheel
well. There is an indentation located on
the charge port door. Press with your
thumb to press to open and close the door.
E144779
Note: Do not force the charge port door
open or closed. Forcing the door open or
closed will damage the charge port.
162High Voltage Battery

The light ring located around the charge
port indicates the charge status of your
vehicle's high-voltage battery. The charge
port light ring is divided into four quadrants
which display state of charge in 25 percent
increments.
There is a cord acknowledgment feature
that will be activated when a charge cycle
is initiated. The four light quadrants will
each individually flash clockwise starting
