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

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.
