FORD 2013 Fusion Hybrid v.1 - Manual (Page 92)

• Tach rpm x 1000 — When the gasoline engine is running, the tachometer gauge
displays the engine speed in revolutions per minute (RPM). When the vehicle is
operating on battery power only, EV is displayed and the tachometer is greyed out.
• Accessory Power— This gauge indicates electrical power demands from your vehicle’s
accessory systems. Accessories such as air conditioning, headlights, and radio use
power but do not contribute to propelling the vehicle. The higher the level indication
on this gauge, the more accessory power is being used. You can see the level of this
gauge change by turning accessories on and off.
• Battery Display — The high voltage battery display options include Regen Active,
Charge Assist and Charge Level.
• Regen Active — A circular arrow symbol appears over the center of the battery when
energy is being recaptured through the regenerative braking system.
• Charge Assist — An arrow above the battery indicates the battery is being charged;
an arrow below the battery indicates that battery power is being used for propulsion
or to power the vehicle accessories.
• Charge Level — This indicates the State of Charge of the battery. Additionally, for
Energi vehicles the option only applies for the Hybrid Mode battery display (simple
battery graphic). The Plug-in Power Mode battery will always show the charge level
with associated remaining EV range.
• Inst. Fuel — Shows instantaneous fuel usage.
• 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:
• Blue thermometer - This indicates that the hybrid system is not warm enough to allow
EV operation. The gasoline engine will run continuously when the indicator is blue.
During silent key start mode, the thermometer indicator will be blue, but the gasoline
engine will not run. This is the result of the vehicle computer allowing the engine to
be cooler during the silent key start period. This is normal operation and does not
indicate a problem with your vehicle. After the first engine start the indicator will turn
white when the gasoline engine is warm enough to turn off.
• White thermometer - This indicates that the hybrid system is warm enough to allow
EV operation. If the vehicle operates on battery power long enough, it is possible that
the gasoline engine may need to run to keep the system warm. In this case, the
thermometer indicator will revert back to blue.
