Quick Reference Guide
Fusion Hybrid
Litho in U.S.A.This Quick Reference Guide is not intended to replace your vehicle Owner’s Manual which contains more detailed
information concerning the features of your vehicle, as well as important safety warnings designed to help reduce the risk
of injury to you and your passengers. Please read your entire Owner’s Manual carefully as you begin learning about your
new vehicle and refer to the appropriate chapters when questions arise. All information contained in this Quick Reference
Guide was accurate at the time of duplication. We reserve the right to change features, operation and/or functionality of
any vehicle specification at any time. Your Ford dealer is the best source for the most current information. For detailed
operating and safety information, please consult your Owner’s Manual.
WARNING
Driving while distracted can result in loss of vehicle
control, crash and injury. We strongly recommend
that you use extreme caution when using any device
that may take your focus off the road. Your primary
responsibility is the safe operation of your vehicle.
We recommend against the use of any hand-held
device while driving and encourage the use of voice-
operated systems when possible. Make sure you are
aware of all applicable local laws that may affect the
use of electronic devices while driving.

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.

SYNC® WITH MYFORD TOUCH®*
*if equipped
Page 9 of 10

Rear View Camera
Provides a video image of the area behind the vehicle. The display
automatically appears in the touchscreen when the vehicle is in
reverse (R) and uses green, yellow and red guides to alert you of
your proximity to objects.
Front and Rear Sensing System*
Sounds a warning tone if there is an obstacle near either bumper.
The warning tone increases in frequency as the object gets closer.
The front sensors are active when the gearshift is in any position
other than park (P) or neutral (N) and the vehicle speed is below
6 mph (10 km/h). The rear sensors activate when the vehicle is in
reverse (R) and is traveling less than 3 mph (5 km/h).
Lane Keeping System*
Detects unintentional drifting out of your lane through
various driver alerts and steering corrections toward
the center of the lane. Set your system settings as
desired by Mode, Sensitivity and Intensity from your
information display screen.
Driver Alert*
Automatically monitors your driving behavior using various inputs
including the front camera sensor. If the system detects that your
driving alertness is reduced below a certain threshold, the system
alerts you by using a tone and displaying a message in the cluster
display. If no correction is made, warnings continue to alert the
driver. Press OK on the steering wheel to clear the warning.
Collision Warning System*
Designed to alert the driver of certain collision risks. A radar detects
if your vehicle is rapidly approaching another vehicle traveling in the
same direction as yours. If it is, a red warning light illuminates and
an audible warning tone sounds. If the risk of collision increases, the
system increases brake support to help reduce collision speed.
BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System)
with Cross Traffic Alert
*
BLIS aids you in detecting vehicles that may have entered into
your blind spot zone. Cross traffic alert warns you of vehicles
approaching from the sides when the transmission is in reverse (R).
BLIS and cross traffic turn on a yellow indicator light in the exterior
mirror on the side of the vehicle the approaching vehicle is coming
from. Refer to the Driving Aids chapter in your Owner’s Manual for
more information.
NOTE Visibility aids do not replace the need to watch where
the vehicle is moving. Refer to your Owner's Manual for safety
information, more details and system limitations.
*if equipped
FUNCTION
Configurable Daytime Running Lamps*
When you switch the feature on in the information display, daytime
running lamps turn on when you are driving, the lighting control is
in the autolamps position
and the headlamps are off. You can
switch the Configurable Daytime Running Lamps feature ON or OFF
using the information display controls. See the Lighting chapter in
your Owner’s Manual for complete information.

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 lights to confirm that you applied
the electric parking brake.
You can release the electric parking brake manually by switching
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.
Active Park Assist*
Detects an available parallel parking space and automatically
steers the vehicle into the space (hands-free) while you control
the accelerator, gearshift and brakes.
» Press the
button on the center console near the gearshift
lever. The touchscreen displays a message and a corresponding
graphic to indicate it is searching for a parking space.
» Use the direction indicator to indicate which side of the vehicle
you want the system to search. If the direction indicator is off,
the system automatically searches on the passenger side of
the vehicle.
» When the system locates a suitable space, the touchscreen
displays a message and a tone sounds. Slow down and stop
approximately even with the vehicle in front of where you wish
to park, then follow the instructions on the touchscreen.
NOTE The driver is always responsible for controlling the vehicle,
supervising the system and intervening, if required.
