Left Information Display Odometer Located in the bottom of the information display Registers the accumulated distance your vehicle has traveled. Battery Gauge: Note: For Energi vehicles there are two versions of the battery gauge. When your vehicle is in hybrid mode, a simple battery graphic displays your battery information. When your vehicle is in plug-in power mode, an enhanced battery graphic displays your battery information. The high voltage battery gauge provides Charge Fill (State of Charge), Charge Assist, Regen Active and Electric Range (Energi only) information.
84
C-MAX (CCG) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Second Printing
Charge Fill (Hybrid Mode) The fill level, or State of Charge indicates the amount of energy stored in the high voltage battery as a percent of total energy capacity. The level will increase or decrease as the battery charges and discharges during normal operation. Charge Fill (Energi Plug-in Power Mode) The fill level indicates the amount of energy stored in the high voltage battery which is available for Plug-in Power Mode. A full fill represents the total amount of energy you can get from an external charge (plugging your vehicle in). When the fill reaches empty your vehicle will automatically enter Hybrid Mode.
ACBE162393Instrument Cluster
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 Active A circular arrow symbol appears in the center of the battery gauge when energy is being recaptured through the regenerative braking system. This feature can be switched on or off in the information displays settings menu. See General Information (page 91). Fuel Gauge: Note: The fuel gauge may vary slightly when your vehicle is moving or on a gradient.
Switch the ignition on. The fuel gauge will indicate approximately how much fuel is left in the fuel tank. The arrow adjacent to the fuel pump symbol indicates on which side of your vehicle the fuel filler door is located. The needle should move toward F when you refuel your vehicle. If the needle points to E after adding fuel, this indicates your vehicle needs service soon. After refueling some variability in needle position is normal: •
It may take a short time for the needle to reach F after leaving the gas station. This is normal and depends upon the slope of pavement at the gas station. The fuel amount dispensed into the tank is a little less or more than the gauge indicated. This is normal and depends upon the slope of pavement at the gas station. If the gas station nozzle shuts off before the tank is full, try a different gas pump nozzle. Low Fuel Reminder A low fuel reminder triggers when the fuel gauge needle is at 1/16th.

When you select EV Now operation this screen will automatically be shown. You can press OK to enable the engine when viewing this screen during EV Now operation. See Hybrid Electric Vehicle (page 132). Electric Range: Electric range is the estimated distance you can travel in Plug-in Power Mode with the engine off. This is based on the amount of energy available in the high voltage battery and your average energy usage while driving. The amount of energy in the battery refers to the energy gained from charging the battery while plugged in. Energy usage is affected by: • Mild or aggressive acceleration or
braking. Your vehicle speed. Your use of accessories such as climate control. The ambient temperature and other weather conditions.
• •
•
• City or highway driving. • Road grades.

Efficiency Leaves Efficiency leaves indicate short term driving efficiency measured over the last few minutes. The more leaves and vines that appear on the display, the better your fuel economy. Leaves and vines will occasionally appear and disappear to indicate a change in your driving efficiency. Fuel History From left to right this view includes an instantaneous fuel economy gauge, historical fuel economy data and average fuel economy. The historical data represents an average over time intervals of either 1, 2 or 6 minutes, with the leftmost interval being the most recent. Shown at the bottom of the view is the total time duration for the 5 intervals. You can select total duration in the options menu. Intervals shown in grey color are from the previous drive. The blue horizontal line represents the average fuel economy value shown to the right. Note: Hold OK to reset average fuel economy.

Coach This view provides a comparison of your recent acceleration, braking and cruising behavior, then recommends the most efficient use of energy under present conditions. The horizontal bars fill from left to right with best behavior and appear blue when at least half full. When the bars are less than half full, the color is amber, suggesting that you need a change in your driving behavior to achieve better energy efficiency. Note: Fuel Economy will be impacted by your use of brakes, accelerator and accessories, as well as environmental conditions such as hills and weather. Note: 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 and Cruising. Common Displays Both Average fuel economy and an instantaneous fuel economy gauge are included in Engage, Empower and MyView (if selected) on the left information display. They are also included in Fuel History on the right information display.
Information Displays
Average Fuel Economy Average Fuel Economy is continuously averaged since the last reset. You can reset your average fuel economy by pressing and holding the OK button on the corresponding steering wheel controls. For Energi vehicles both Hybrid and Plug-in Power mode operation will be included in the calculation. Note: Average fuel economy cannot be reset in MyView. Instantaneous Fuel Economy If your instantaneous fuel economy is greater than the maximum value displayed, a + sign will be shown next to the maximum scale number. When your vehicle is operating on battery power only, EV will display and the gauge fill will show in blue.
