120 Information Displays • 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.) • Battery Display - The high voltage battery display options include Regen Active, Charge Assist and Charge Level. • 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. 2013 C-Max Full Hybrid (34h) Owners Guide gf, 3rd Printing, January 2013 USA (fus)
