Ford C-MAX Hybrid / Energi (2016 year). Manual — part 21

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.

This feature can be switched on or off in
the information displays settings menu.
See General Information (page 93).

Trip Summary:

The Trip Summary displays upon shutting
off your vehicle. The information is
cumulative over the last trip. A new trip
begins each time you start your vehicle
(when the Ready to Drive message comes
on).

•

Distance - Displays the total distance
traveled, distance traveled on battery
power only (EV distance) and Regen
distance. Regen distance is the
estimated range gained from energy
recaptured through regenerative
braking.

•

Energy Use - Displays the average fuel
economy. In addition for Energi,
displays the total electrical energy used
while in Plug-in Power Mode in kilowatt
hours (kWh).

•

Brake Score - The percent displayed is
an indication of the regenerative
braking efficiency for the trip.

Note: Corresponding trip efficiency leaves
appear on the right information display upon
shutting off your Hybrid vehicle. On Energi
vehicles the trip efficiency leaves are shown
on the right information display when the
vehicle operates in Hybrid Mode for the
entire trip. For trips with Plug-in Power Mode
operation an estimate of your EV Range/Full
Charge is provided along with a listing of
factors and their contributions to this
estimate. See Next Full Charge under Right
Information Display in this chapter.

Fuel Economy

See General Information (page 93).

Vehicle Range

Vehicle range indicates the estimated
distance your vehicle will travel with the
energy currently onboard. The range is
displayed at the bottom of the screen with
gasoline range shown in white and electric
range (Energi only) shown in blue.

•

Gasoline Range: Is the estimated
distance to empty based on the fuel
remaining in the tank.

•

Electric Range: Is the estimated
distance you can travel in Plug-In
Power Mode with the engine off. This
range is based on a calculation
determined by the amount of energy
stored in the high voltage battery as a
result of charging while plugged in and
the energy being used while driving.

The amount of energy being used while
driving 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.

Note: It is normal for vehicle range
estimates to vary due to changes in average
energy usage. This is why you will typically
see different range estimates each time you
fill up your fuel tank or fully charge your
battery.

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
lamps will light when you start your vehicle
to make sure they work. If any lamps
remain on after starting your vehicle, refer
to the respective system warning lamp for
further information.

Note: Some warning indicators appear in
the information display and function the
same as a warning lamp but do not display
when you start your vehicle.

Anti-Lock Braking System

If it lights when you are driving,
this indicates a malfunction. You
will continue to have normal

braking (without anti-lock braking system)
unless the brake system warning lamp also
lights. Have the system checked by an
authorized dealer.

Battery

If it lights while driving, this
indicates a malfunction. Switch
off all unnecessary electrical

equipment and have the system checked
by an authorized dealer immediately.

Brake System

E144522

Lights when you engage the
parking brake with the ignition
on.

If it lights when you are driving, check that
you do not have the parking brake
engaged. If you do not have the parking
brake engaged, this indicates low brake
fluid level or a brake system malfunction.
Have the system checked immediately by
an authorized dealer.

WARNING

Driving your vehicle with the warning
lamp on is dangerous. A significant
decrease in braking performance

may occur. It will take you longer to stop
your vehicle. Have your vehicle checked by
your authorized dealer immediately. Driving
extended distances with the parking brake
engaged can cause brake failure and the
risk of personal injury.

Cruise Control

(If Equipped)

E71340

Lights when you switch on this

or while you are driving, this
indicates a malfunction. Stop

your vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so
and switch off the engine. Check the engine
oil level. See Engine Oil Check (page 222).

Note: Do not resume your journey if it lights
despite the level being correct. Have the
