charging LINCOLN MKZ HYBRID 2014 User Guide

High voltage battery power represents your high-voltage battery. A circle
illuminates around the node when the high-voltage battery is receiving p\
ower
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 o\
n, but
not using any fuel). When the engine is on, but not using fuel, the eng\
ine 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 ci\
rcle
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.
3 The climate control system may determine
A/C is necessary even when you turn it off.
In this case, you may see some climate
power when the A/C is off.

Engine On due to
The engine is on to warm-up. The vehicle
returns to electric mode when the engine
is warm. This reason may reappear during
a drive or after shutting the vehicle down
for a short period. This is normal operation.
Engine Cold
The engine is on because of the heater
setting. Reduce or turn off the heater
setting to return to electric mode.
Heater Setting
The engine is on because the vehicle
speed exceeds the level for electric mode
operation. Reduce the speed to return to
electric mode.
High Speed
The engine is on when you apply pressure
to the accelerator pedal or when you turn
the speed control on. Reduce pressure on
the accelerator pedal or turn off the speed
control to return to full electric mode.
Acceleration
The engine is on because the vehicle is in
neutral gear. Shift out of neutral gear to
return to electric mode.
Neutral Gear
The engine is on because the vehicle is in
low gear. Shift out of low gear to return to
electric mode.
Low Gear
The engine is on to charge the high-voltage
battery. The vehicle returns to electric
mode once the battery is charged.
Battery Charging
The engine is on to provide increased
powertrain braking when you turn on the
grade assist feature. Turn off the grade
assist feature to return to electric mode.
Grade Assist
The engine is on to optimize vehicle oper-
ation. The vehicle returns to electric mode
when possible.
Normal Operation

Status
This indicates which mode is active within
the vehicle system.
Hybrid Drive
The electric motor and gasoline engine
are powering vehicle.
Charging HV Battery
The hybrid system is storing power in the
high-voltage battery.
Idle
The vehicle is either at rest, or sharing very
little power between the electric system
parts.
Idle with Charging
The high-voltage battery is receiving
power in order to recharge.
Electric Drive
The vehicle is driving in electric mode (the
power is coming from the electric motor).
The gasoline engine is off in this mode.
