Climate Control
AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL
AUTO: Press to switch on full automatic operation. Once you select your desired temperature using the temperature control, the system then automatically determines fan speed, airflow distribution, A/C on or off, and outside or recirculated air, to heat or cool the vehicle to reach and maintain the desired temperature. Fan speed: Press the large fan icon to increase the fan speed; press the small fan icon to decrease the fan speed. Pressing one of the fan speed buttons while in AUTO takes the system out of AUTO fan mode. On and off button: Press to switch the system on or off. MAX Defrost: Distributes outside air through the windshield defroster vents and demister vents. You can use this mode to clear the windshield of fog and thin ice. Automatically turns on rear window defroster and heated mirrors. Press this button again to return to the previous airflow selection. MAX A/C: Press to distribute recirculated air through the instrument panel vents to cool the vehicle. Air conditioning automatically turns on, the fan speed automatically adjusts to the highest speed and the temperature display returns to the full cool position. This re-cooling of the interior air is more economical and efficient than normal air conditioning. Recirculated air may help reduce undesirable odors from entering the vehicle.
105
C-MAX (CCG)
E141422JIHGFABCDE Climate Control
Recirculated air: Press to switch from outside air to recirculated air. When you select recirculated air, the air currently in the passenger compartment recirculates. This may reduce the time needed to cool the interior (when used with A/C) and may reduce unwanted odors from entering your vehicle. Recirculated air turns on automatically when you select MAX A/C, or manually in any airflow mode except defrost. Recirculated air may turn off automatically in all airflow modes except MAX A/C to reduce fog potential. Press the control again to switch off recirculated air and allow fresh air to enter into the vehicle. Defrost: Distributes air through the windshield defroster vents and demister vents. The system automatically provides outside air to reduce window fogging. Press again to switch off defrost mode. Instrument panel: Press to distribute air through the instrument panel vents. Press again to switch off panel mode. Floor: Distributes air through the demister vents and front and rear seat floor vents. Press again to switch off floor mode. A/C: Press to switch air conditioning on or off. Use with recirculated air to improve cooling performance and efficiency. Air conditioning also turns on automatically in some modes.
Single Zone Temperature Control In this mode, the climate control system links the temperature settings for both the driver's side and passenger's side. If you adjust the setting using the rotary control on the driver’s side, the system adjusts the temperature to the same setting on the passenger’s side. Dual Zone Temperature Control Select a temperature for the passenger’s side using the rotary control on the passenger’s side. Single zone temperature control automatically switches off. The temperature on the driver’s side remains unchanged. You can now adjust the driver's side and passenger's side temperatures independently. The display shows the temperature settings for each side.

Switching Back to Single Zone Temperature Control Press and hold AUTO for 2-4 seconds. The passenger’s side temperature switches to the driver’s side temperature setting. HINTS ON CONTROLLING THE INTERIOR CLIMATE General Hints Note: Prolonged use of recirculated air may cause the windows to fog up. Note: You may feel a small amount of air from the footwell air vents regardless of the air distribution setting. Note: To reduce humidity build-up inside your vehicle, do not drive with the system switched off or with recirculated air always switched on. Note: Do not place objects under the front seats as this may interfere with the airflow to the rear seats. Note: Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air intake area at the base of the windshield. Note: Do not adjust the settings when your vehicle interior is extremely hot or cold. The system automatically adjusts to the previously stored settings. For the system to function efficiently, the instrument panel and side air vents should be fully open. Note: At low ambient temperatures with AUTO selected, the system directs the air stream toward the windshield and side windows for as long as the engine remains cold. Note: When you switch off the system, outside air does not enter your vehicle.

WARNING
Do not use the system with any garage door opener that does not have the safety stop and reverse
feature as required by U.S. Federal Safety Standards (this includes any garage door opener manufactured before April 1, 1982). A garage door opener which cannot detect an object, signaling the door to stop and reverse, does not meet current federal safety standards. Using a garage door opener without these features increases the risk of serious injury or death.
Note: Make sure that the garage door and security device are free from obstruction when you are programming. Do not program the system with the vehicle in the garage. Note: Make sure you keep the original remote control transmitter for use in other vehicles as well as for future system programming. Note: We recommend that upon the sale or lease termination of your vehicle, you erase the programmed function buttons for security reasons. See Erasing the function button codes later in this section. Note: You can program a maximum of three devices. To change or replace any of the three devices after it has been initially programmed, you must first erase the current settings. See Erasing the function button codes later in this section.
The universal garage door opener replaces the common hand-held garage door opener with a three-button transmitter that is integrated into the driver’s sun visor. The system includes two primary features, a garage door opener and a platform for remote activation of devices within the home. As well as being programmed for garage doors, the system transmitter can be programmed to operate entry gate operators, security systems, entry door locks and home or office lighting. Additional system information can be found online at www.homelink.com or by calling the toll-free help line on 1-800-355-3515.

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.• 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.

Unique Driving Characteristics
HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE Plug-in Power Mode and Hybrid Mode (C-MAX Energi Only) You must plug C-MAX Energi vehicles in regularly for optimal use of the high voltage battery's extended range capability. When you charge your vehicle, you add electrical energy that is then used to propel the vehicle in plug-in power mode. You can view your estimated electric range in this mode from the enhanced battery gauge on the instrument panel display. The system maximizes the use of electric-only operation in plug-in power mode. System conditions may require engine operation; however, the system uses plug-in power whenever possible. When your plug-in power has been depleted, the powertrain system will automatically switch to hybrid mode. Your battery gauge will show an electric range of zero before transitioning to a simple battery graphic upon entering hybrid mode. Hybrid mode uses both the gasoline engine and electric motor to power your vehicle and maximize fuel economy as with C-MAX Hybrid. EV Modes (C-MAX Energi Only)
Your vehicle contains selectable EV modes through the EV button on the center console.
These modes are available when the vehicle can run under high voltage battery power. With the vehicle in driving mode, you can change EV modes with each press of the EV button. The current mode will be displayed in the left hand instrument cluster screen.
Auto EV
This mode provides an automatic use of high voltage battery power during the drive, staying in electric mode when possible and running the engine when needed. This mode will be the only one available if the plug-in power has been depleted. EV Now
This mode provides an electric only driving experience. The left-hand information display will change to an Energy Use screen that supplies EV specific tools and functions. The vehicle may accelerate more slowly and the top speed may be lower than in Auto mode. Your engine may be enabled at any time by using one of the following methods: 1. Press the OK button on the left 5–way
steering wheel control while viewing the EV screen. The vehicle will enable the engine as needed, and will automatically return to EV Now after eight seconds or when the engine is no longer needed.
2. Press the accelerator pedal fully. A pop up message stating Press OK to Enable Engine will appear. Press OK on the left steering wheel button to activate as needed. The message will disappear if you release the accelerator pedal.
3. Press the EV button. This will change
the mode to EV Later and permit engine operation.
The vehicle may automatically enter Engine Enabled mode if system conditions require it. A message Engine Enabled for System Performance will display if this occurs. This is normal function, and your vehicle will return to EV Now when possible.

Note: You may notice higher engine speeds upon start-up. This temporary condition is normal and necessary to heat up the cabin and minimize emissions.
Starting: When you start your vehicle, a green ready indicator light will appear in the lower right
portion of the instrument cluster and a ready to drive message will appear in the middle of the left cluster screen, letting you know that the vehicle is ready for driving. The engine may not start because this vehicle is equipped with silent key start. This fuel saving feature allows your vehicle to be ready–to–drive without requiring the gas engine to be running. This indicator will remain on while the vehicle is on, whether the engine is running or not to indicate the vehicle is capable of movement (using its electric motor, engine, or both). Typically, the engine will not start unless the vehicle is cold, a climate control change is requested, or the accelerator is pressed. Driving: The gas engine automatically starts and stops to provide power when needed and to save fuel when not needed. While coasting at low speeds, coming to a stop, or standing, the gas engine normally shuts down and the vehicle operates in electric-only mode. Conditions that may cause the engine to start up or remain running include: • Considerable vehicle acceleration • Vehicle speed above 85 mph (137
km/h) However, the maximum speed for electric-only operation may be lower while driving in hot temperatures or on hilly terrain. • Ascending a hill • Charge level of high voltage battery is
low
The vehicle may enter Enable Engine mode if the climate control is in a defrost mode and the outside temperature is cold. A message Engine Enabled Due to Defrost will display if this occurs. If defrost is not needed, select a different climate control mode to permit EV Now. When you enable EV Now, a blue EV icon displays in the left-hand information display. If the vehicle is in the Engine Enabled mode, the EV icon will be yellow. EV Now will automatically exit when the Plug in power has been depleted. EV Later
This mode saves most of the high voltage battery plug in power for future use (for
example, your initial drive is at high speeds on open roads, but later your drive will be at low speeds in an urban area where plug-in power usage is most efficient). Your vehicle will run the engine as needed and keep most of the high voltage battery plug in power for later use in Auto Mode or EV Now mode. When you enable EV Later, a white EV Later icon appears on the left-hand information display. The EV Later mode will automatically reset to EV Auto mode when you power the vehicle off. You may press the EV button twice during the next drive to return to EV Later mode, if desired. Hybrid Vehicle Operation (C-MAX Hybrid and C-MAX Energi) This hybrid vehicle combines electric and gasoline propulsion to provide breakthrough performance and improved efficiency. Familiarizing yourself with these unique characteristics will provide an optimal driving experience from your new vehicle.

E151263E144692 Unique Driving Characteristics
Unique Hybrid Operating Characteristics Your vehicle behaves differently compared to a non-hybrid. Here is a description of the major differences: Battery: Your hybrid is equipped with a high voltage battery. A cool battery ensures battery life and provides the best possible performance. Your hybrid high voltage battery may periodically re-condition itself to ensure maximum efficiency. You may notice slight changes in driveability during this process, but it is an important part of your hybrid's high voltage battery optimization features. The high voltage battery is cooled by cabin air drawn from vent holes in the trim panels behind the rear seats. Avoid placing objects at the vent holes that block airflow to the high voltage battery. Engine: The engine speed in your hybrid is not directly tied to your vehicle speed. Your vehicle's engine and transmission are designed to deliver the power you need at the most efficient engine speed. During heavy accelerations, your hybrid may reach high engine speeds (up to 6000 RPM). In prolonged mountainous driving, you may see the engine tachometer changing without your input. This is intentional and maintains the battery charge level. You may also notice during extended downhill driving that your engine continues to run instead of shutting off. During this engine braking, the engine stays on, but it is not using any fuel. You may also hear a slight whine or whistle when operating your vehicle. This is the normal operation of the electric generator in the hybrid system.
•
• Very high or low outside temperature (to provide system cooling or heating) For C-MAX Energi vehicles, climate control demands by passengers may not directly cause the engine to run. This only occurs when the high voltage battery charge is low, or if the outside temperature is cold enough to require the engine to provide additional heat for the cabin. Engine not warm enough to provide passenger requested cabin temperature.
Stopping: The gas engine may shut off to conserve fuel as you come to a stop. Restarting the vehicle is not required. Simply step on the accelerator when you are ready to drive. Transmission Operation: Due to the technologically advanced, electronically-controlled continuously variable transaxle, you will not feel shift changes like those of a non-hybrid vehicle. Note: Since engine speed is controlled by the transmission, it may seem elevated at times. This is normal hybrid operation and helps deliver fuel efficiency and performance. Neutral: It is not recommended to idle the vehicle in position N for an extended period of time because this will discharge your high voltage battery and decrease fuel economy. The engine will not start or stop, and cannot provide power to the hybrid system in position N. Low Gear: Low gear (position L) is designed to mimic the enhanced engine braking available in non-hybrid vehicles. Low gear will produce high engine speeds to provide necessary engine braking. This is normal and will not damage your vehicle. In low gear, the gas engine will remain on more often than in position D. Reverse: In position R, vehicle speed is limited to 22 mph (35 km/h).

Additional Tips: • Do not carry extra loads. •
Be mindful of adding external accessories that may increase aerodynamic drag.
• Observe posted speed limits. • Perform all scheduled maintenance. •
There is no need to wait for your engine to warm up. The vehicle is ready to drive immediately after starting.
EV+ Mode Your vehicle will recognize your frequent destinations and allow for more EV driving as you approach them. For example, when nearing your home it should be easier to stay in electric mode. The EV indicator will display EV+ when this mode is active. You should see this approximately 1/8 mile (200 meters) from a frequent destination. See Information Displays (page 88). Note: Frequent destinations are learned by your vehicle after two to four weeks of use. You can clear these destinations with a Driving History reset through the Settings menu. Note: The EV+ feature can be turned on or off through the Driver Assist section of the Settings menu.
During certain events (such as vehicle servicing) your low voltage 12-volt battery may become disconnected or disabled. Once the battery is reconnected and after driving the vehicle, the engine may continue to operate for three to five seconds after the key is turned to off. This is a normal condition. Braking: Your hybrid is equipped with standard hydraulic braking and regenerative braking. Regenerative braking is performed by your transmission and it captures brake energy and stores it in your high voltage battery. Driving to optimize fuel economy Note: Having your engine running is not always an indication of inefficiency. In some cases, it is actually more efficient than driving in electric mode. Your fuel economy should improve throughout your hybrid's break-in period. As with any vehicle, your driving habits and accessory usage can significantly impact your fuel economy. For best results, keep in mind these tips: •
Keep the tires properly inflated and only use the recommended size. • Aggressive driving increases the
amount of energy required to move your vehicle. In general, you can achieve better fuel economy with mild to moderate acceleration and deceleration. Moderate braking is particularly important since it allows you to maximize the energy captured by the regenerative braking system.

Frequently asked questions
Question
Answer
What are the series of clicks from the cargo area when I first turn the key in the ignition?
Why does the engine sometimes start at
key-on?
Why does it take a long time before the
engine shuts down?
The high voltage battery is electrically isol- ated from the rest of the vehicle when the key is off. When you turn the key on, high voltage contactors inside the battery are closed to make the electricity available to the motor/generator and enable the vehicle to drive. The clicks are the sound of these contactors as they close and open during
start up and shut down.
The vehicle's computer will determine if an engine start is required at key-on. Silent key
