automatic transmission FORD FUSION HYBRID (AMERICAS) 2015 2.G Quick Reference Guide

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.
Electric Parking Brake
This feature replaces the conventional handbrake. The operating
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.

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

assurance and support of 24-hour
emergency roadside assistance.

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.
