Information Displays Empower Empower adds an engine on/off threshold to the power demand gauge from Enlighten. The threshold is shown as a blue double outline. The gauge is designed to show you how close you are to the gasoline engine on/off threshold and how much power you are requesting based on how far you press the accelerator pedal. When power demand is below the threshold the vehicle is operating on battery power only with the engine off, EV is displayed and the gauge fill is shown in blue. When power demand exceeds the threshold both the engine and the high voltage battery provide power and the gauge fill is white. When power demand surpasses the amber indicator, this level of demand and associated fuel economy are shown in amber. Note: You can reset your average fuel economy by pressing and holding the OK button on the left hand steering wheel controls. MyView You can choose what to display in this view. Selecting Change MyView in the options menu allows you to scroll through two columns of content choices. • • Press the up or down arrow to view content. Use the right and left arrows to move between the left column content and the middle column content. The right column is reserved for the Battery Gauge and the Fuel Gauge. Unique content available in MyView: • 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.). • Coolant Temp - Indicates engine coolant temperature. At normal operating temperature, the level indicator will be white and will be in the normal range (between H and C). If the engine coolant temperature exceeds the normal range, the level indicator will change to red to indicate that the engine is overheating. Stop the vehicle as soon as safely possible, turn off the vehicle and let the engine cool. The thermometer indicator next to the gauge will illuminate in blue or white to indicate the following (not available for Energi vehicles): • Blue thermometer - This indicates that the hybrid system is not warm enough to allow EV operation. The gasoline engine will typically run continuously when the indicator is blue. • Once you have your desired content showing in each column then press OK to save. This becomes your new MyView screen. 92 C-MAX (CCG)
