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

The Brake Coach appears in the display after the vehicle has come to a stop, and coaches you to maximize
the amount of energy that can be returned through the regenerative braking system.
SmartGauge® with EcoGuide
Delivers specific information about various systems on your
vehicle using menus that build on previous data. Use your
left-hand, 5-way steering controls to scroll through your
menu choices:
Engage: Adds gas and electric power-split information.
Empower: Adds an engine on and off threshold to the power
demand gauge. See how much power you request based on
how far you press the accelerator pedal.MyView: Lets you customize your menu options, allowing you
to select key information and combine it into one screen.
EcoGuide: Displays leaf graphics within the right-hand cluster,
showing you when you’re driving efficiently. More leaves equal
better driving habits!
QUICK TIPS
Help Maximize Your Fuel Economy by
Utilizing These Few Tips

1. Use smooth acceleration and braking. According to the United
States Department of Energy, aggressive driving can lower your
gas mileage by up to 33 percent at highway speeds and
5 percent in the city.
2. Carry the bare essentials. The Department of Energy
estimates that an extra 100 pounds (45.4 kilograms) in your
vehicle could reduce your fuel economy by up to two percent.
3. Seasonal fuel makes a difference. Winter fuel contains
slightly less energy than summer fuel, so the fuel blend you fill
up with can impact your efficiency.
4. Idling burns fuel, too. You can burn up to half a gallon
(1.9 liters) of fuel per hour while idling. Minimize your morning
warm-up and parking lot waits to get the most out of filling
your tank.
5. Avoid extreme temperatures. Find a shady or sheltered spot
to help keep your lithium-ion battery operating efficiently,
and minimize the amount of energy required to heat or
cool your cabin.
6. Use accessories wisely. Heated seats, the rear defroster,
the air conditioner and other power features draw electrical
energy. When you operate your accessories, you may notice
that the gasoline engine needs to start. Choose “Accessory
Power” when configuring your MyView screen to see how much
electricity you are using to power your vehicle’s accessories.
7. Check your tires. Proper tire inflation can help you improve
your fuel economy by up to 3.3 percent, according to the
Department of Energy, while under-inflation could lower your
fuel economy by 0.3 percent for every 1 psi drop in pressure
of all four tires. Check your vehicle’s door sticker
for recommended cold tire inflation pressure.
Fuel History and Coach
Within the information displays, you'll be able to see how your
driving style directly impacts your fuel economy.
Fuel history provides instant fuel economy, plus your recent fuel
economy averaged over selectable intervals of 1, 2 or 6 minutes.
Coach can teach you how to improve your fuel economy by
providing feedback on your recent acceleration, braking and
cruising behavior.
Efficiency Leaves show your recent driving efficiency measured
over the last few minutes. More leaves mean better fuel economy!
Eco Cruise Control
This feature saves vehicle energy by slowing down acceleration
compared to standard cruise control. Your vehicle may relax its
acceleration temporarily when going uphill. Eco cruise control can
be switched on and off through the Driver Assist section of the
Settings menu in the information display.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
7

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.
