Fuel and Refueling 193 Note: EV Now mode can resume if less than 1 gallon (3.8 liters) of fuel is left in the tank. Note: In most cases, when the fuel level is below 1/4 tank, refueling the vehicle will end fuel freshness mode and EV Now will now become available. Refueling after consuming a full tank in fuel freshness mode will end the mode. Note: It is recommended to use a fuel stabilizer if you consume less than a full tank of fuel during an 18 month period. REFUELING WARNING: Fuel vapor burns violently and a fuel fire can cause severe injuries. To help avoid injuries to you and others: Read and follow all the instructions on the pump island. Turn off your engine when you are refueling. Do not smoke if you are near fuel or refueling your vehicle. Keep sparks, flames and smoking materials away from fuel. Stay outside your vehicle and do not leave the fuel pump unattended when refueling your vehicle - this is against the law in some places. Keep children away from the fuel pump; never let children pump fuel. Do not use personal electronic devices while refueling. Use the following guidelines to avoid electrostatic charge build-up when filling an ungrounded fuel container: • Place approved fuel container on the ground. • DO NOT fill a fuel container while it is in the vehicle (including the cargo area). • Keep the fuel pump nozzle in contact with the fuel container while filling. • DO NOT use a device that would hold the fuel pump handle in the fill position. Using the Easy Fuel™ Capless Fuel System (Except C-MAX Energi) WARNING: The fuel system may be under pressure. Insert the fuel nozzle slowly. If you hear a hissing sound near the fuel filler door, do not refuel until the sound stops. Otherwise, fuel may spray out, which could cause serious personal injury. 2013 C-Max Full Hybrid (34h) Owners Guide gf, 3rd Printing, January 2013 USA (fus)
