MyFord Touch™ (If Equipped) G High voltage battery power represents your high-voltage battery. A circle illuminates around the node when the high-voltage battery is receiving power from regenerative braking, engine charging or external charging (when you plug it in). The higher the power going into the high-voltage battery, the larger the circle around this node. Fuel represents the fuel tank in the vehicle. Fuel-to-engine flow shows flow from the fuel tank to the engine when the engine is on and using fuel (there are some cases where the engine is on, but not using any fuel). When the engine is on, but not using fuel, the engine node is active, but the fuel flow path is off. An example of this is when your foot is off the accelerator pedal and the vehicle is traveling at a high speed. Engine On due to provides you with the reason(s) the gasoline engine is on. When the gasoline engine is off, this display does not appear. Engine On due to reasons displayed by the system are in a chart following this list. Motor-to-engine flow shows the direction of power flow between the engine and the electric motor. The direction indicates if the engine is providing power to the high-voltage electrical system, or if the high-voltage electrical system is providing power to control or start the engine. Engine power represents the gasoline engine. It illuminates only when the gasoline engine is on. The higher the engine power is, the larger the circle around this node. Engine-to-wheels flow shows the direction of the power flow between the engine and the wheels. Drive power represents the power going to the wheels. The higher the wheel power is, the larger the circle around this node. When the engine is off, drive power is shown in blue. When the engine is on, drive power is shown in grey. 2 1 H I J K L M N The battery-to-motor flow includes battery power the vehicle is using for acceleration. It does not include energy the vehicle is using for accessories (such as air conditioning, headlights and radio). This screen displays accessories and climate usage separately. Accessories indicates electrical power demands from your vehicle's accessory systems. Accessories use power but do not contribute to making the vehicle move. The power flow displays power usage from the climate control system and other accessories separately. 3 The climate control system may determine A/C is necessary even when you turn it off. In this case, you may see some climate power when the A/C is off. 372 C-MAX (CCG)
