MKZ Hybrid (CC9) Table of Contents

•
Accessory Power — Indicates electrical power demands from your vehicle ’s
accessory systems. Accessories use power but do not contribute to propelling
the vehicle. The gauge separately displays power demand in kilowatts (kW)
for climate and other accessories.
Climate includes the power being used by high voltage climate control
components such as the electric A/C compressor and the electric heater (Energi
vehicles only)
Other includes all power being used by the low voltage accessories (cabin fans,
headlights, heated seats, etc.).
• Coolant Temp – Indicates engine coolant temperature. At normal operating
temperature, the level indicator will be white and will be in the normal range
(between H and C). If the engine coolant temperature exceeds the normal
range, the level indicator will change to red to indicate that the engine is
overheating. Stop the vehicle as soon as safely possible, turn off the vehicle
and let the engine cool.
The thermometer indicator next to the gauge will illuminate in blue or white to
indicate the following:
• Blue thermometer - This indicates that the hybrid system is not warm enough
to allow EV operation. The gasoline engine will typically run continuously
when the indicator is blue.
Note: During silent key start mode, the thermometer indicator will be blue, but
the gasoline engine will not run. This is the result of the vehicle computer allowing
the engine to be cooler during the silent key start period. This is normal operation
and does not indicate a problem with your vehicle. After the first engine start the
indicator will turn white when the gasoline engine is warm enough to turn off.
• White thermometer - This indicates that the hybrid system is warm enough
to allow EV operation. If the vehicle operates on battery power long enough,
it is possible that the gasoline engine may need to run to keep the system
warm. In this case, the thermometer indicator will revert back to blue.
• Tach rpm x 1000 — When the gasoline engine is running, the tachometer
gauge displays the engine speed in revolutions per minute (RPM). When the
vehicle is operating on battery power only with the engine off, EV is displayed
and the tachometer is greyed out.
Note: The trip data, and average fuel economy cannot be reset in MyView.

Both heated mirrors remove ice, mist
and fog when you switch on the
heated rear window.
CABIN AIR FILTER
Your vehicle is equipped with a cabin
air filter. It is located behind the glove
box.
The particulate filtration system
reduces the concentration of airborne
particles such as dust, spores and
pollen in the air supplied to the interior
of your vehicle.
Note:
To prevent foreign objects from
entering the system, make sure the
cabin air is in place at all times.
Running the system without a filter in
place could result in degradation or
damage to the system.
The particulate filtration system gives
you and your passengers the following
benefits:
• It improves your driving comfort by
reducing particle concentration.
• It improves the interior
compartment cleanliness.
• It protects the climate control
components from particle
deposits.
Replace the filter at regular intervals.
See Scheduled Maintenance (page
444).
For additional cabin air filter
information, or to replace the filter,
see an authorized dealer. REMOTE START
The climate control system adjusts
the cabin temperature during remote
start.
You cannot adjust the system during
remote start operation. Turn the
ignition on to return the system to its
previous settings. You can now make
adjustments. You need to turn certain
vehicle-dependent features back on,
such as:
•
heated seats
• cooled seats
• heated steering wheel
• heated mirrors
• heated rear window.
You can adjust the settings using the
information display controls.
See
Information Displays (page 103).
Automatic Settings
You can set the climate control to
operate in AUTO mode through the
information display setting: Remote
Start > Climate Control > Heater-A/C
> Auto. The climate control system
automatically sets the interior
temperature to 72°F (22°C).
In hot weather, the system is set to
72°F (22°C). Cooled seats are set to
high (if available, and selected to
AUTO in the information display).
In moderate weather, the system
either heats or cools (based on
previous settings). The rear defroster,
heated mirrors and heated/cooled
seats do not automatically turn on.

indicator lights.
Rear Heated Seats (If Equipped)
WARNING
Persons who are unable to feel
pain to the skin because of
advanced age, chronic illness,
diabetes, spinal cord injury,
medication, alcohol use, exhaustion,
or other physical conditions, must
exercise care when using the seat
heater. The seat heater may cause
burns even at low temperatures,
especially if used for long periods of
time. Do not place anything on the
seat that insulates against heat, such
as a blanket or cushion, because this
may cause the seat heater to
overheat. Do not puncture the seat
with pins, needles, or other pointed
objects because this may damage the
heating element which may cause the
seat heater to overheat. An
overheated seat may cause serious
personal injury. Note:
Do not do the following:
• Place heavy objects on the seat.
• Operate the seat heater if water or
any other liquid is spilled on the
seat. Allow the seat to dry
thoroughly.
The rear seat heat controls are
located on the rear of the center
console. The heated seats only operate when
the ignition is on.
•
Press the heated seat symbol to
cycle through the various heat
settings and off. Warmer settings
are indicated by more indicator
lights.
• Press again to deactivate.
The heated seat module resets at
every ignition run cycle. While the
ignition is on, press the high or low
heated seat switch to enable heating
mode. When activated, they will turn
off automatically when you turn the
engine off.
VENTILATED SEATS
(IF
EQUIPPED)

Important Ventilating
Information
If you stop your vehicle and the leave
the engine idling for long periods of
time, we recommend that you do one
of the following:
•
Open the windows at least 1 inch
(2.5 centimeters)
• Set your climate control to outside
air.
ENGINE BLOCK HEATER (IF
EQUIPPED) WARNINGS
Failure to follow engine block
heater instructions could result
in property damage or serious
personal injury. Do not use your heater with
ungrounded electrical systems
or two-pronged adapters. There is a
risk of electrical shock. Note:
The heater is most effective
when outdoor temperatures are below
0°F (-18°C).
The heater acts as a starting aid by
warming the engine coolant. This
allows the climate control system to
respond quickly. The equipment
includes a heater element (installed
in the engine block) and a wire
harness. You can connect the system
to a grounded 120-volt AC electrical
source. We recommend that you do the
following for a safe and correct
operation:
•
Use a 16-gauge outdoor extension
cord that is product certified by
Underwriter ’s Laboratory (UL) or
Canadian Standards Association
(CSA). This extension cord must
be suitable for use outdoors, in
cold temperatures, and be clearly
marked Suitable for Use with
Outdoor Appliances. Do not use an
indoor extension cord outdoors.
This could result in an electric
shock or become a fire hazard.
• Use as short an extension cord as
possible.
• Do not use multiple extension
cords.
• Make sure that when in operation,
the extension cord plug and heater
cord plug connections are free and
clear of water. This could cause an
electric shock or fire.
• Make sure your vehicle is parked in
a clean area, clear of
combustibles.
• Make sure the heater, heater cord
and extension cord are firmly
connected.
• Check for heat anywhere in the
electrical hookup once the system
has been operating for
approximately 30 minutes.

MKZ (CC9) Starting and Stopping the Engine

•
Make sure the system is unplugged
and properly stowed before driving
your vehicle. Make sure the
protective cover seals the prongs
of the block heater cord plug when
not in use.
• Make sure the heater system is
checked for proper operation
before winter.
Using the Engine Block Heater
Make sure the receptacle terminals
are clean and dry prior to use. Clean
them with a dry cloth if necessary.
The heater uses 0.4 to 1.0
kilowatt-hours of energy per hour of
use. The system does not have a
thermostat. It achieves maximum
temperature after approximately
three hours of operation. Using the
heater longer than three hours does
not improve system performance and
unnecessarily uses electricity.
165
MKZ (CC9) Starting and Stopping the Engine

Do not attempt to push-start your
automatic transmission vehicle.
Automatic transmissions do not have
push-start capability. Attempting to
push-start a vehicle with an
automatic transmission may cause
transmission damage.
Preparing Your Vehicle
Note:
Use only a 12-volt supply to start
your vehicle.
Note: Do not disconnect the battery
of the disabled vehicle as this could
damage the vehicle's electrical system.
1. Park the booster vehicle close to the hood of the disabled vehicle
making sure the two vehicles do
not touch. Set the parking brake
on both vehicles and stay clear of
the engine cooling fan and other
moving parts. 2. Check all battery terminals and
remove any excessive corrosion
before you attach the battery
cables. Ensure that vent caps are
tight and level.
3. Turn the heater fan on in both vehicles to protect from any
electrical surges. Turn all other
accessories off.
Connecting the Jumper Cables
Your vehicle has two battery prongs
that are accessible from under the
hood, even though the actual battery
is located in the trunk. Your vehicle
can be jumped the same way
conventional vehicles can be using
these prongs. The illustration below
shows the two connector prongs used
for jump-starting your vehicle.
