Ford C-MAX Hybrid / Energi (2017 year). Manual - part 21

Trip Efficiency Leaves

Trip Efficiency Leaves display upon
shutting off your Hybrid vehicle. For Energi
vehicles the trip efficiency leaves are
displayed only when the vehicle operates
in Hybrid for the entire trip. The number of
leaves represent the average for the last
trip. A new trip begins each time you start
your vehicle (when the Ready to Drive
message comes on). Corresponding Trip
Summary data displays on the left
information display.

Next Full Charge

The Next Full Charge display is shown
upon shutting off your Energi vehicle
whenever your vehicle operates in Plug-in
Power Mode for a portion of your trip.

Miles or kilometers per full charge

This is an estimate of the EV Range you
would see if you plugged in and fully
charged your vehicle right now. The
estimate is based on your energy usage
while driving. Energy usage is affected by
your driving style and route, climate control
use, outside temperature and other factors.

Energy usage effects (+/-)

A green bar indicates a positive effect on
your EV range per full charge estimate. An
amber bar indicates a negative effect. The
bigger the bar the bigger the effect on your
estimate.

•

Driving style/route – This includes
energy used to propel your vehicle
based on your driving style and route.
Your driving style includes how fast you
drive and whether your acceleration
and braking is mild or aggressive. Your
route includes factors such as the
amount of city or highway driving and
road grades.

•

Climate control use – This includes
energy used by your vehicle’s high
voltage climate control components
such as the electric A/C compressor
and the electric heater.

•

Outside temp./other – This includes
energy losses due to outside
temperature and other conditions
which reduce vehicle system efficiency.
Energy used for low voltage
accessories such as cabin fans, heated
seats, headlights, etc. is also included.

WARNING LAMPS AND
INDICATORS

The following warning lamps and
indicators will alert you to a vehicle
condition that may become serious. Some

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 having your vehicle
serviced.  See Emission Control System
(page 149).

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.

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. Have your vehicle
checked as soon as possible.

The service engine soon indicator lights
when you first switch on the ignition prior
to engine start to check the bulb and to
indicate whether the vehicle is ready for
Inspection and Maintenance testing.

Normally, the service engine soon light will
stay on until you switch on the engine, 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 and Maintenance testing.  See
Emission Control System (page 149).
