FORD 2014 Fusion Hybrid v.1 - Manual (Page 165)

E145429
Ford recommends upgrading to the
optional 240-volt charging station for
faster more efficient charging. Use of a
240-volt charging station will take
approximately 2½ hours to fully charge a
empty battery.
Note: Your electrical source must meet
certain requirements for the high-voltage
batteries to charge. The AC outlet must be
a three-prong 110-120 volt AC outlet that is
properly grounded, 15–20 amps (or greater),
and in good condition. The line also must
be dedicated, which means that no other
appliances should be connected to the
same circuit. If a dedicated circuit is not
used, the circuit breaker could trip or open.
If a dedicated circuit is not available, contact
a licensed professional electrician for proper
installation.
Make sure that the 120–volt convenience
cord is completely unwound before
charging. Always plug the cord into the AC
outlet before connecting the charging
coupler into the vehicle’s charge port
receptacle. The 120–volt convenience cord
inline control box has three indicator lights
that represent the charging status; power,
charge and fault.
Power (green light)— this indicator lights
up when the cord is plugged into the AC
wall outlet.
Charge (green light)— indicates status
of charging:
• No light means the cord is not
connected to the vehicle.
• Blinking light means that the charging
is in process.
• Solid light means that the vehicle is
connected but not charging.
Fault (red triangle light)— Lights up in
case of a detected failure. No charging is
possible:
• Blinking red triangle light – means that
the 120–volt convenience cord is trying
to reset the failure and could restart
the charging cycle.
• Solid red triangle light – means that
the fault is permanent. The cord needs
to be unplugged and re-plugged to
reset the fault. If the fault persists,
contact your authorized dealer.
Charge Port
The charge port is located between the
front left side door and front left wheel
well. There is an indentation located on
the charge port door. Press with your
thumb to press to open and close the door.

Note: Do not force the charge port door
open or closed. Forcing the door open or
closed will damage the charge port.
