Low Tire Pressure Warning
Lights when your tire pressure
is low. If the lamp remains on
with the engine running or when
driving, check your tire pressure as soon
as possible.
To confirm the lamp is working, it will also
light momentarily when you switch on the
ignition. If it does not light when you switch
the ignition on, or it begins to flash at any
time, have an authorized dealer check the
system.
Low Washer Fluid Lights when the windshield
washer fluid is low.
Parking Lamps Lights when you switch on the
parking lamps.
Powertrain Fault Lights when your vehicle detects
a powertrain fault. Contact an
authorized dealer as soon as
possible. Note:
If your vehicle detects certain faults,
it will not allow you to operate the
accelerator pedal. If this happens, press
the brake pedal and release it. This will
activate limp home vehicle operation. In
limp home vehicle operation, your vehicle
will accelerate in a controlled manner up
to a maximum speed of 35 mph (56 km/h)
on a flat surface. If you apply the brake
pedal or move the transmission to neutral
(N) you can override your vehicle ’s
acceleration.
Ready to Drive Lights when you switch on your
vehicle and it is ready to drive.
A corresponding message may
display stating ready to drive, or if you
have not entered a charge point, you may
get a message regarding budget.
Service Engine Soon If the service engine soon
indicator light stays illuminated
after the engine is started, it
indicates that the On Board Diagnostics
system (OBD) has detected a malfunction
of the vehicle emissions control system.
Refer to On board diagnostics (OBD) in the
Fuel and Refueling chapter for more
information about servicing your vehicle.
See Emission Control System (page 164).
If the light is blinking, the engine is
misfiring. This could damage your catalytic
converter. Drive in a moderate fashion
(avoid heavy acceleration and
deceleration) and have your vehicle
serviced immediately.

MKZ (CC9) Instrument Cluster E132353 E144692

Note:
If your engine is misfiring, excessive
exhaust temperatures could damage the
catalytic converter or other vehicle
components.
The service engine soon indicator lights
when the you first switch on your vehicle,
prior to engine start, to check the bulb and
to indicate whether the vehicle is ready
for inspection maintenance testing.
Normally, the service engine soon light
will stay on until the engine cranks, then
turn itself off if no malfunctions are
present. However, if after 15 seconds the
service engine soon light blinks eight
times, it means that the vehicle is not
ready for inspection maintenance testing.
See Emission Control System (page 164).
Stability Control Flashes when the system is
active. If it stays lit or does not
light when you switch on the
ignition, this indicates a malfunction.
During a malfunction the system will switch
off. Have an authorized dealer check the
system immediately.
See Using Stability
Control (page 181).
Stability Control Off Lights when you switch the
system off. It will go out when
you switch the system back on
or when you switch off the ignition.
See
Using Stability Control (page 181). Stop Safely Lights if your vehicle has an
electrical component fault or
failure that will cause your
vehicle to shutdown or enter into a limited
operating mode. You may also see a
message.
Trunk Ajar Lights when the ignition is on
and the trunk is not completely
closed.
AUDIBLE WARNINGS AND

Vehicle Range
Indicates the estimated distance the
vehicle will travel with the energy currently
available. For Hybrid, the vehicle range
estimate is based on the fuel remaining in
the gasoline tank. For Energi, the total
estimated range equals the range
available in Hybrid Mode fueled by
gasoline, plus the electric range available
in Plug-in Power Mode. Changes in driving
pattern may cause the values to vary.
Inform
Inform shows the fuel level, battery display
and average fuel economy, with options
available for the Battery Display and an
Instantaneous Fuel Economy gauge. When
the vehicle is operating on battery power
only with the engine off, EV is displayed. Enlighten
Enlighten displays power demand in
addition to the typical information and
options from Inform. The Instantaneous
Fuel Economy gauge will be displayed by
default. When the vehicle is operating on
battery power only with the engine off, EV
is displayed and the gauge fill is shown in
blue. When both the engine and high
voltage battery are providing power the
gauge fill is white.
Engage
Engage replaces the power demand
gauge from Enlighten with separate
gauges for engine power and high voltage
battery power. The engine power gauge
fill is white and the high voltage battery
power gauge fill is blue. When the vehicle
is operating on battery power only with
the engine off, EV is displayed.

MKZ (CC9) Information Displays

Empower
Empower adds an engine on/off threshold
to the power demand gauge from
Enlighten. The threshold is shown as a
blue double outline. The gauge is
designed to show you how close you are
to the gasoline engine on/off threshold
and how much power you are requesting
based on how far you press the
accelerator pedal.
When power demand is below the
threshold the vehicle is operating on
battery power only with the engine off, EV
is displayed and the gauge fill is shown in
blue.
When power demand exceeds the
threshold both the engine and the high
voltage battery provide power and the
gauge fill is white.
When power demand surpasses the amber
indicator, this level of demand and
associated fuel economy are shown in
amber.
Note:
You can reset your average fuel
economy by pressing and holding the OK
button on the left hand steering wheel
controls.
MyView
You can choose what to display in this
view. Selecting Change MyView in the
options menu allows you to scroll through
two columns of content choices. •
Press the up or down arrow to view
content.
• Use the right and left arrows to move
between the left column content and
the middle column content.
• The right column is reserved for the
Battery Gauge and the Fuel Gauge.
Once you have your desired content
showing in each column then press OK to
save. This becomes your new MyView
screen.
Unique content available in MyView:
• 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.

MKZ (CC9) Information Displays

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.
