It will illuminate when you switch the parking lamps or headlam ps on.
Powertrain Malfunction/Reduced Power
It will illuminate when a powertrain or high-voltage charge system fault has been detected. If the indicator stays on or continues to come on, contact your authorized dealer as soon as possible.
Ready to Drive
It will illuminate once the vehicle has been switched on and is ready to drive. A corresponding message may display stating ready to drive or a message regarding budget if a charge point
has not been entered. Service Engine Soon
The service engine soon indicator light illuminates when the ignition is first turned to the on position to check the bulb and to indicate whether the vehicle is ready for Inspection/Maintenance
(I/M) testing. Normally, the “service engine soon” light will stay on until the engine is cranked, 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 I/M testing. See the Readiness for inspection/maintenance (I/M) testing in the Fuel and Refueling chapter. Solid illumination after the engine is started indicates the on-board diagnostics system (OBD-II) has detected a malfunction. Refer to On-board diagnostics (OBD-II) in the Fuel and Refueling chapter. If the light is blinking, engine misfire is occurring which could damage your catalytic converter. Drive in a moderate fashion (avoid heavy acceleration and deceleration) and have your vehicle serviced immediately by your authorized dealer.
WARNING: Under engine misfire conditions, excessive exhaust temperatures could damage the catalytic converter, the fuel
system, interior floor coverings or other vehicle components, possibly causing a fire.

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 distance equals the distance available in Hybrid Mode fueled by gasoline, plus the EV distance available in Plug-in Power Mode. Changes in driving pattern may cause the values to vary. Instantaneous Fuel — This gauge is available on all Display mode screens and shows the instantaneous fuel economy. It can be selected on or off through the Options sub-menu. From any main display a right arrow press on the steering wheel controls will take you to the Options sub-menu. Instantaneous fuel economy is displayed in miles per gallon, kilometers per liter, or liters per 100 kilometers. Your vehicle must be moving to calculate average fuel economy. If your instantaneous fuel economy is greater than the maximum value the graph can display, a + sign will be shown next to maximum scale number. When the vehicle is operating on battery power only, EV is displayed and the gauge fill is shown in blue. For Energi vehicles, in the Display section of the Settings menu you can choose your fuel economy units as Fuel only or fuel + electric. When fuel + electric is chosen your electrical energy use during Plug-in Power Mode is included in your instantaneous fuel economy. This is based on its equivalent energy in terms of gallons or liters of gasoline. The units will be displayed as MPGe, which reads miles per gallon equivalent, and similarly, km/Le and Le/100km.

• 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, EV is displayed. Hold OK to reset average fuel economy.
• 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, EV is displayed and the gauge fill is shown in blue. When both the engine and the electric motor are providing power the gauge fill is white. Hold OK to reset average fuel economy.
• Engage — Engage replaces the power demand gauge from Enlighten with separate gauges for engine power and electric motor 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, EV is displayed. Hold OK to reset average fuel economy. • 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 by how much you press on the accelerator pedal. When power demand is below the threshold the vehicle is operating on battery power only, 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. Hold OK to reset average fuel economy.

• Split Power— This gauge indicates the power being supplied by the vehicle’s two power sources: the high voltage battery and the gasoline engine. When the hybrid system is operating in electric vehicle mode (without the gasoline engine), EV is displayed. • Power + Threshold — When the transmission is in a drive gear only,this gauge shows you vehicle power demand and gasoline engine on/off threshold. It is designed to show you how close you are to the gasoline engine on/off threshold and how much power you are requesting by how much you press on the accelerator pedal. • 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, EV is displayed and the tachometer is greyed out. • 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.)
Regen Active, Charge Assist and Charge Level.
• Battery Display — The high voltage battery display options include • Regen Active — A circular arrow symbol appears over the center of the battery when energy is being recaptured through the regenerative braking system. • Charge Assist — An arrow above the battery indicates the battery is
being charged; an arrow below the battery indicates that battery power is being used for propulsion or to power the vehicle accessories.

• Charge Level — This indicates the State of Charge of the battery. Additionally, for Energi vehicles the option only applies for the Hybrid Mode battery display (simple battery graphic). The Plug-in Power Mode battery will always show the charge level with associated remaining EV range.
• Inst. Fuel — Shows instantaneous fuel usage. • 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 run continuously when the indicator is blue. 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.
Note: Trip data, average fuel economy and average speed cannot be reset in MyView. You can reset this data from other screens where it is shown.

• Fuel History: This view from left to right starts with the instantaneous fuel economy gauge and adds historical fuel economy data. The data is represented as an average for time intervals of either 1, 2 or 6 minutes, with the left most interval being the most recent. Total time for the 5 intervals is shown at the bottom of the view. Interval time can be selected in the options sub menu. For Energi vehicles a blue outline indicates Plug-in Power was used at least half of that interval. Intervals shown in grey color are from the previous drive.
• Coach: This view provides a comparison of your recent Acceleration, Braking and Cruising behavior to what is recommended for most efficient use of energy under present conditions. The horizontal bars fill from left to right with best behavior (and Blue color) shown as at least half full. When the bars are less than half full, the color is Amber, suggesting that a change in behavior is needed to achieve better energy efficiency. Note that fuel economy is not always a measure of appropriate driving behavior. For example, when driving uphill and maintaining an appropriate speed, your instant fuel economy may not be good (losing leaves) but the Coach may show a blue bar for Acceleration or Cruising.

Radio Frequencies and Reception Factors AM and FM frequencies are established by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the Canadian Radio and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC). Those frequencies are: AM: 530, 540–1700, 1710 kHz FM: 87.9–107.7, 107.9 MHz

Radio reception factors
The further you travel from an FM station, the weaker the signal and the weaker the reception. Hills, mountains, tall buildings, bridges, tunnels, freeway overpasses, parking garages, dense tree foliage and thunderstorms can interfere with the reception. When you pass a ground-based broadcast repeating tower, a stronger signal may overtake a weaker one and result in the audio system muting.
CD and CD Player Information Note: CD units play commercially pressed 4.75-inch (12 centimeter) audio compact discs only. Due to technical incompatibility, certain recordable and re-recordable compact discs may not function correctly when used in Ford CD players. Note: Do not insert CDs with homemade paper (adhesive) labels into the CD player as the label may peel and cause the CD to become jammed. You should use a permanent felt tip marker rather than adhesive labels on your homemade CDs. Ballpoint pens may damage CDs. Please contact your authorized dealer for further information. Note: Do not use any irregularly shaped discs or discs with a scratch protection film attached. Always handle discs by their edges only. Clean the disc with an approved CD cleaner only. Wipe it from the center of the disc toward the edge. Do not clean in a circular motion. Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or heat sources for extended periods.

mode (system default) and MP3 folder mode.
MP3 Track and Folder Structure Audio systems capable of recognizing and playing MP3 individual tracks and folder structures work as follows: • There are two different modes for MP3 disc playback: MP3 track • MP3 track mode ignores any folder structure on the MP3 disc. The player numbers each MP3 track on the disc (noted by the .mp3 file extension) from T001 to a maximum of T255. Note: The maximum number of playable MP3 files may be less depending on the structure of the CD and exact model of radio present. • MP3 folder mode represents a folder structure consisting of one level of folders. The CD player numbers all MP3 tracks on the disc (noted by the .mp3 file extension) and all folders containing MP3 files, from F001 (folder) T001 (track) to F253 T255.
• Creating discs with only one level of folders helps with navigation
through the disc files.
If you are burning your own MP3 discs, it is important to understand how the system reads the structures you create. While various files may be present, (files with extensions other than mp3), only files with the .mp3 extension are played; other files are ignored by the system. This enables you to use the same MP3 disc for a variety of tasks on your work computer, home computer and your in-vehicle system. In track mode, the system displays and plays the structure as if it were only one level deep (all .mp3 files play, regardless of being in a specific folder). In folder mode, the system only plays the .mp3 files in the current folder.
