476 MyFord Touch® (If Equipped) The system also alerts you to any conflicts by highlighting areas of the screen in yellow. If your battery cannot have a full charge by the scheduled drive time, the system highlights the current My GO Time and Actual Charge End Time and a message Charge at GO Time: under 100% appears. This is normal; the vehicle is informing you of the conflicting situation. This notification only displays when the gearshift selector lever is in position P. Note: Charging occurs as soon as you plug the vehicle in. The system limits cabin conditioning to 15 minutes before the My GO Time. To eliminate the conflict notification immediately or to prevent a conflict in the future, try the following: • Change the present My GO Time to occur later. • Plug the vehicle into a 240V charging station instead of 120V convenience cord. Higher power charging yields shorter charge times. • Plug the vehicle in sooner. Estimated Charge Time Limits Battery shows you the battery's current charge displayed as a percentage. A reading of 100% means the battery has a full charge. A reading of 0% means the battery has no charge. To fully charge • 240V is the estimated minimum charging time from the current high-voltage battery level to full charge (100%). This represents the shortest amount of time you should expect the high-voltage battery to recharge under ideal conditions. Ideal conditions include a 240V charging station and a minimum 30A service and high-voltage battery at a moderate temperature. Note: This charging time is only an estimate. It is normal for your actual charge duration to be longer. Note: Some charging stations use lower voltage (208V), which result in longer charge times. • 120V is the estimated maximum charging time from the current high-voltage battery level to full charge (100%). This represents the longest amount of time you should expect the high-voltage battery to recharge under normal conditions. Normal conditions include a 120V convenience cord and 12A service. Note: This charging time is only an estimate. It is possible for your actual charge duration to be longer. This occurs when the AC line voltage is low and may indicate your electrical source is not meeting certain requirements (see Charging the high-voltage battery in the High Voltage Battery chapter). 2013 C-Max Full Hybrid (34h) Owners Guide gf, 3rd Printing, January 2013 USA (fus)
