charging LINCOLN MKZ HYBRID 2013 User Guide

High voltage battery power represents your high-voltage battery. A
circle illuminates around the node when the high-voltage battery is
receiving power from regenerative braking or engine charging. The
higher the power going into the high-voltage battery, the larger the
circle around this node.
F
Fuel
represents the fuel tank in the vehicle.
G
Fuel-to-engine flow
shows flow from the fuel tank to the engine
when the engine is on and using fuel (there are some cases where the
engine is on, but not using any fuel). When the engine is on, but not
using fuel, the engine node is active, but the fuel flow path is off. An
example of this is when your foot is off the accelerator pedal and the
vehicle is traveling at a high speed.
H
Engine On due to
provides you with the reason(s) the gasoline engine
is on. When the gasoline engine is off, this display does not appear.
Engine On due to
reasons displayed by the system are in a chart
following this list.
I
Motor-to-engine flow
shows the direction of power flow between
the engine and the electric motor. The direction indicates if the engine
is providing power to the high-voltage electrical system, or if the
high-voltage electrical system is providing power to control or start
the engine.
J
Engine power represents the gasoline engine. It illuminates only when
the gasoline engine is on. The higher the engine power is, the larger the
circle around this node.
K
Engine-to-wheels flow
shows the direction of the power flow
between the engine and the wheels.
L
Drive power
represents the power going to the wheels. The higher the
wheel power is, the larger the circle around this node. When the engine
is off, drive power is shown in blue. When the engine is on, drive power
is shown in grey.
M
1 The battery-to-motor flow includes
battery power the vehicle is using for
acceleration. It does not include
energy the vehicle is using for
accessories (such as air conditioning,
headlights and radio). This screen
displays accessories and climate
usage separately. 2
Accessories
indicates electrical
power demands from your vehicle ’s
accessory systems. Accessories use
power but do not contribute to making
the vehicle move. The power flow
displays power usage from the
climate control system and other
accessories separately.
