Charge Assist
The up and down arrows provide
information about the energy going into
and out of the high-voltage battery. The
up arrow above the battery indicates
battery charging such as from regenerative
braking. The down arrow below the battery
indicates battery discharging to provide
power for propulsion or vehicle
accessories.
Regen Display
When stepping on the brake pedal, a
circular arrow symbol appears in the
center of the Battery Gauge when energy
is being recaptured through the
regenerative braking system.
Fuel Gauge:
The fuel gauge will indicate approximately
how much fuel is left in the fuel tank. The
fuel gauge may vary slightly when your
vehicle is moving or on a gradient. The
arrow adjacent to the fuel pump symbol
indicates on which side of the vehicle the
fuel filler door is located.
Brake Coach Display:
The Brake Coach appears after the vehicle
has come to a stop. It coaches you to
brake in a manner which maximizes the
amount of energy returned through the
regenerative braking system. The percent
displayed is an indication of the
regenerative braking efficiency with 100%
representing the maximum amount of
energy recovery.
Trip Summary:
Trip Summary is displayed upon shutting
off your vehicle. The data is calculated
over the last on and off cycle.
•
Distance - The total distance traveled,
distance traveled on battery power
only (EV distance) and Regen distance
are displayed. Regen distance is the
estimated range gained from energy
recaptured through regenerative
braking.
• Fuel Use - The average fuel economy
and total fuel used are displayed.
• Brake Score - The average percentage
of braking energy recaptured and
returned to the high voltage battery
through regenerative braking.
WARNING LAMPS AND
INDICATORS
The following warning lamps and
indicators will alert you to a vehicle
condition that may become serious. Some

Saving a Pre-Set Position
1. Switch the ignition on.
2. Adjust the seat, exterior mirrors and
power steering column to your desired
position.
3. Press and hold the desired pre-set button until you hear a single chime.
Up to three pre-set memory positions may
be saved. A memory pre-set may be saved
at any time.
Recalling a Pre-Set Position
Press and release the pre-set button
associated with your desired driving
position. The seat, mirrors and steering
column will move to the position stored
for that pre-set.
Note: A pre-set memory position can only
be recalled when the ignition is off, or
when the transmission selector lever is in
position P or N (and your vehicle is not
moving) if the ignition is on.
A pre-set memory position can also be
recalled by pressing the unlock button on
your remote control or intelligent access
key if it is linked to a pre-set position. Linking a Pre-Set Position to your
Remote Control or Intelligent Access
Key
Your vehicle can save the pre-set memory
positions for up to three remote controls
or intelligent access (IA) keys.
1.
With the ignition on, move the memory
positions to the desired positions.
2. Press and hold the desired pre-set button for about five seconds. A chime
will sound after about two seconds.
Continue holding until a second chime
is heard.
3. Within three seconds, press the lock button on the remote control you are
linking.
To unlink a remote control, follow the
same procedure – except in step 3, press
the unlock button on the remote control.
Note: To stop seat movement during a
recall, press any driver seat adjustment
control, any of the memory buttons, or any
mirror control switch.
Seat movement will also stop if you move
your vehicle.
Note: If more than one linked remote
control or IA key is in range, the memory
function will move to the settings of the
first key stored.
Easy Entry and Exit Function
If you enable the easy entry and exit
feature, it automatically moves the driver
seat position rearward up to five
centimeters when the transmission
selector lever is in position
P and you
remove the key or the keyless start ignition
is turned off.

GENERAL INFORMATION
WARNINGS
Extended idling at high engine
speeds can produce very high
temperatures in the engine and exhaust
system, creating the risk of fire or other
damage. Do not park, idle or drive your
vehicle on dry grass or other dry
ground cover. The emission system heats
up the engine compartment and exhaust
system, creating the risk of fire. Do not start the engine in a closed
garage or in other enclosed areas.
Exhaust fumes can be toxic. Always open
the garage door before you start the
engine. If you smell exhaust fumes inside
your vehicle, have your vehicle
checked by an authorized dealer
immediately. Do not drive your vehicle if
you smell exhaust fumes. If you disconnect the battery, your vehicle
may exhibit some unusual driving
characteristics for approximately 5 miles
(8 kilometers) after you reconnect it. This
is because the engine management
system must realign itself with the engine.
You can disregard any unusual driving
characteristics during this period.
The powertrain control system meets all
Canadian interference-causing equipment
standard requirements regulating the
impulse electrical field or radio noise. When you start the engine, avoid pressing
the accelerator pedal before and during
operation. Only use the accelerator pedal
when you have difficulty starting the
engine.
KEYLESS STARTING
Note:
The keyless starting system may not
function if the key is close to metal objects
or electronic devices such as cellular
phones.
Note: A valid key must be located inside
your vehicle to switch the ignition on and
start the engine.
Ignition Modes 147
MKZ (CC9) Starting and Stopping the EngineE164319

The keyless starting system has three
modes:
•
Off: Turns the ignition off.
• Without applying the brake pedal,
press and release the button once
when the ignition is in the on mode,
or when the engine is running but
the vehicle is not moving.
• On:
All electrical circuits are
operational and the warning lamps and
indicators illuminate.
• Without applying the brake pedal,
press and release the button once.
• Start:
Starts the vehicle. The engine
may not start when the vehicle starts.
• Press the brake pedal, and then
press the button for any length of
time. An indicator light on the
button illuminates when then
ignition is on and when the engine
starts.
STARTING A GASOLINE ENGINE
When the engine starts for the first time
on your drive, the idle speed increases,
this helps to warm up the engine. If the
engine idle speed does not slow down
automatically, have your vehicle checked
by an authorized dealer.
Before starting the vehicle, check the
following:
• Make sure all occupants have fastened
their safety belts.
• Make sure the headlamps and
electrical accessories are off.
• Make sure the parking brake is on.
• Put the transmission in
P . Note:
Do not touch the accelerator pedal.
1. Fully press the brake pedal.
2. Press the button.
Note: The green ready indicator
illuminates letting you know that the
vehicle is ready for driving. Since your
vehicle is equipped with a silent key start,
the engine may not start at the time of the
vehicle start.
See Hybrid Electric Vehicle
(page 152).
The system does not function if:
• The key frequencies are jammed.
• The key battery has no charge.
If you are unable to start the engine, do
the following: 1.
Remove the rubber covering (A) in the
cupholder. Place the remote in the
backup slot (B) at the bottom of the
cupholder.
2. With the key in this position, press the
brake pedal, then the START button to
switch the ignition on and start your
vehicle.
