Information and
Communication.
SYNC. Say the Word.
Before You Get Started
1. Set up your owner account
at SyncMyRide.com (U.S.)

mode on in your phone’s menu
options. This lets your phone
find SYNC. For more details on
setting up your phone with SYNC,
visit SyncMyRide.com (U.S.) or

GETTING STARTED
WITH YOUR SYNC
® SYSTEM

In order to use many of the features of SYNC, such as making a phone call or receiving a
text, you must first connect or pair your phone with SYNC.
To Pair Your Phone for the First Time
1. Make sure that your vehicle is in park (P), then switch your ignition and radio on.

the Pairing Your Phone with SYNC process.
Why Do You Need a SYNC
Owner Account?
A SYNC owner account lets you receive
the latest software updates that add
new places, directions and information;
and if you have questions, you will get free
customer support.
NOTE Your SYNC system may offer
advanced features. Visit the website or
call the toll-free number for more
information. See the inside front cover
of this guide for details.

book to make phone calls with voice
commands by name.

Use SYNC to make a phone call to anyone
in your phone book by pressing the voice
button
. When prompted, say a
voice command.
For example, you could say “Call Jake
Smith at home”. When the system confirms
the number, say “Dial” again to initiate
the call.
NOTE You can also make phone calls
by pressing the voice button
and when
prompted, give the voice command “Dial”,
then verbally say the phone number.

Silent Key Start
When you switch the ignition
on, your engine may not sound
like it has started because
your hybrid vehicle is equipped
with silent key start. 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.
High-voltage Lithium-ion Battery System
The battery pack is a self-charging system and does not require
regular service maintenance. The battery compartment is located
behind the rear, fold-down seats. Cabin air is drawn through vents
in the rear package tray (located near the rear speakers), and
cools the battery. For optimal battery operation, keep these air
inlets free of any potential obstruction. The battery pack should
be serviced only by an authorized technician. Improper handling
can result in personal injury or death. Refer to your Owner's Manual
for more details.
Unique Driving Characteristics
Your hybrid comes equipped with a gasoline-powered engine, an
electric motor and a high-voltage lithium-ion battery. The power-
split architecture switches between electric-only mode, gas-only
mode or a combination of both.
Depending on driving conditions, here’s how the power split works:
Accelerating: Step on the gas and get all the responsiveness of a
traditional gasoline engine.
City Driving: In stop and go driving and at low speeds, the electric
motor provides the necessary power, with the gas engine only
kicking in to recharge the battery or when more power is needed.
Cruising/Highway Driving: Due to greater power demands at
highway speeds, your vehicle uses the gasoline engine more
frequently than while driving at city traffic speeds. This is normal.
Braking: The regenerative braking system supplements the
standard braking system, recovers some of the energy from
braking and stores it in the battery to improve fuel economy.
Stopping: To save energy, the gasoline engine usually shuts off.
EV+ Mode
Automatically learns your frequent destinations after two to four
weeks of use, allowing for more EV driving as you approach them.
When nearing your home, it should be easier to stay in electric
mode. When active, the EV indicator displays EV+. You can clear
your frequent destinations with a Lifetime Summary reset through
the Settings menu. You can also switch the EV+ feature off
through the Driver Assist section of the Settings menu.

Fuel Tank
Capacity/Fuel Info
Your vehicle has a fuel tank capacity of 13.5
gallons (51.1 liters). Use only UNLEADED
fuel or UNLEADED fuel blended with a
maximum of 15% ethanol. Do not use
ethanol (E85), diesel, fuel-methanol,
leaded fuel or any other fuel because
it could damage or impair the emission
control system.
Low Fuel Reminder
A low fuel reminder triggers when the fuel
gauge needle is at 1/16th.
Hybrid Transmission
Your hybrid’s transmission is designed to
do its 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 hybrid operation as it helps deliver
fuel efficiency and performance.
Easy Fuel® System
With this system,
you simply press to
open the fuel door,
insert the nozzle
and begin fueling.
It is self-sealing
and therefore
protected against dust, dirt, water, snow
and ice. Wait 10 seconds from the time the
refueling nozzle is shut-off until you remove
the nozzle from the vehicle to allow residual
fuel in the nozzle to drain into the tank.
ESSENTIAL INFORMATION
NOTE When using a portable fuel
container, slowly insert the fuel funnel
(located in the spare tire compartment),
and pour the fuel into the funnel. When
done, clean the funnel or properly
dispose of it. Do not use aftermarket
funnels as they do not work with the Easy
Fuel system and may cause damage. You
can purchase extra funnels from your
authorized dealer. Refer to the Refueling
section in the Fuel and Refueling chapter
of your Owner's Manual for warnings and
additional information.
Open Window Buffeting
When only one side window is open, you
may hear a pulsing noise. Open both
windows on the same side of the vehicle
to alleviate this noise.
*if equipped
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 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 under-inflated.
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.
Tire Mobility Kit
Fusion Hybrid includes a tire mobility kit
that is in the spare tire well in the trunk. It
consists of an air compressor to reinflate the
tire and a sealing compound in a canister
that seals most punctures caused by nails
or similar objects. Refer to the Wheels and
Tires chapter of your Owner’s Manual for
more details.
Towing Your
Fusion Hybrid
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.
Automatic Shutdown*
In vehicles equipped with intelligent
access*, this feature automatically
shuts down the vehicle if it has been
idling for an extended period. The
ignition also turns off in order to save
battery power. Before the engine
shuts down, a message appears in
the information display, allowing
the driver to override the
shutdown feature.
NOTE Your intelligent access
transmitter must be inside the vehicle
for the ignition to start. The keyless
warning alert sounds the horn twice
when you exit the vehicle with the
transmitter and your vehicle is in RUN,
indicating that the vehicle is still on.
