enough load capacity in your
vehicle to transport four friends
and your golf bags. In metric units,
the calculation would be: 635
kilograms - (5 x 99 kilograms) -
(5 x 13.5 kilograms) = 635 - 495 -

*Suppose your vehicle has a
1400-pound (635-kilogram) cargo
and luggage capacity. You and
one of your friends decide to pick
up cement from the local home
improvement store to finish that
patio you have been planning for
the past two years. Measuring the
inside of the vehicle with the rear
seat folded down, you have room
for twelve 100-pound
(45-kilogram) bags of cement. Do
you have enough load capacity to
transport the cement to your
home? If you and your friend each
weigh 220 pounds (99 kilograms),
the calculation would be: 1400 -
(2 x 220) - (12 x 100) = 1400 - 440

You will need to reduce the load
weight by at least 240 pounds
(104 kilograms). If you remove
three 100-pound (45-kilogram)

4. The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity. For example, if the “XXX” amount equals 1,400 lb. and there will be five 150 lb. passengers in your vehicle, the amount of available cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lb. (1400-750 (5 x 150) = 650 lb.)
5. Determine the combined
weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the available cargo and luggage load capacity calculated in Step 4. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer will be transferred to your vehicle. Consult this manual to determine how this reduces the available cargo and luggage load capacity of your vehicle.

TOWING A TRAILER WARNING
Never tow a trailer with your vehicle. This powertrain is not
designed to tow. TRANSPORTING THE VEHICLE
If you need to have your vehicle towed, contact a professional towing service or, if you are a member of a roadside assistance program, your roadside assistance service provider.
C-MAX (CCG)
We recommend the use of a wheel lift and dollies or flatbed equipment to tow your vehicle. Do not tow with a slingbelt. Ford Motor Company has not approved a slingbelt towing procedure. Vehicle damage may occur if towed incorrectly, or by any other means. Ford Motor Company produces a towing manual for all authorized tow truck operators. Have your tow truck operator refer to this manual for proper hook-up and towing procedures for your vehicle. The front wheels (drive wheels) must be on a tow dolly when towing your vehicle from the rear using wheel lift equipment. This prevents damage to the transmission. We recommend placing the rear wheels on a tow dolly when towing your vehicle from the front using wheel lift equipment. This prevents damage to the rear fascia. TOWING THE VEHICLE ON FOUR WHEELS Emergency Towing In the event your vehicle becomes disabled (without access to wheel dollies, car-hauling trailer, or flatbed transport vehicle), it can be flat-towed (all wheels on the ground, regardless of the powertrain/transmission configuration) under the following conditions: •
The vehicle is facing forward so that it is towed in a forward direction. The transmission is placed in position N. If the transmission gearshift lever cannot be moved to position N, it may need to be overridden. See Automatic Transmission (page 153).
•
• Maximum speed is 35 mph (56 km/h).
• Maximum distance is 50 miles (80
kilometers).

E143886Towing
Recreational Towing Note: Put your climate control system in recirculated air mode to prevent exhaust fumes from entering the vehicle. See Climate Control (page 105). Follow these guidelines if you have a need for recreational (RV) towing. An example of recreational towing would be towing your vehicle behind a motorhome. We designed these guidelines to prevent damage to your transmission. You can tow your vehicle with all four wheels on the ground or with the front wheels off the ground by using a tow dolly. If you are using a tow dolly follow the instructions specified by the equipment provider. If you tow your vehicle with all four wheels on the ground: • • Release the parking brake. • Place the transmission in position N. • Place the ignition in the off position.
Tow only in the forward direction.
See Starting and Stopping the Engine (page 124).
• Do not exceed 70 mph (113 km/h). • Place the transmission in position P, start the vehicle and allow it to run for one minute at the beginning of each day (you may need to press the accelerator pedal in order to start the vehicle). After allowing the vehicle to run, place the transmission back into position N and the ignition in the accessory position.

Driving Hints
BREAKING-IN
You need to break in new tires for
approximately 300 miles (480
kilometers). During this time, your vehicle
may exhibit some unusual driving
characteristics. The engine also needs to
break in. Avoid hard accelerations and
driving too fast for the first 1000 miles
(1600 kilometers). If possible, avoid
carrying heavy loads up steep grades
during the break-in period.
ECONOMICAL DRIVING
Several things affect your fuel economy:
• How you drive your vehicle
• How you maintain your vehicle
•
The conditions you drive your vehicle in
You may improve your fuel economy by keeping these things in mind: • Avoid constant accelerating in order to
change lanes and get around other vehicles.
• Drive your vehicle at reasonable
speeds. Traveling at 65 miles per hour
(105 kilometers per hour) uses about
15 percent less fuel than traveling at 75
miles per hour (121 kilometers per
hour).
• Drive at steady speeds without
stopping.
• Anticipate stops. Slowing down your
vehicle may eliminate the need to stop. Keep the tires properly inflated and use only the recommended size. Turn off the heater if you do not need it. When you have the heater on, keep it at the lowest blower and temperature setting necessary to be comfortable.

• When it is cold outside, park in a sunny
location or climate-controlled environment. This may save fuel by reducing the energy needed to heat the cabin. Turn off the air conditioning if you do not need it. When you have the air conditioning on, keep it at the lowest blower and highest temperature setting necessary to be comfortable.
• When it is hot or sunny outside, parking
in a shaded or climate-controlled environment will save fuel by reducing the energy needed to cool the cabin. For the C-Max Energi, use preconditioning to improve your fuel economy. For more information on preconditioning, See High Voltage Battery (page 146). Turn off the heated seats if you are not using them. Turn off the defroster when you no longer need it for visibility, turning it off will help you improve your fuel economy. For the C-Max Energi, plug in and recharge the high voltage battery whenever possible.

• Use ECO Cruise Control, especially in
hilly terrain. For information on enabling eco-cruise, See Cruise Control (page 171).
• Use low gear L shift position when enhanced engine braking is needed. Otherwise, use drive gear D shift position.
• Combine errands and minimize
stop-and-go driving. A warmed up engine works more efficiently. When running errands, go to the furthest destination first and then work your way back home.
• Close the windows for high-speed
driving.

Driving Hints
DRIVING THROUGH WATER Note: Driving through deep water above the recommended levels can cause vehicle damage. If driving through deep or standing water is unavoidable, proceed very slowly. Never drive through water that is higher than the bottom of the wheel rims (for cars) or the bottom of the hubs (for trucks).
When driving through water, traction or brake capability may be limited. Also, water may enter your engine’s air intake and severely damage your engine or your vehicle may stall. Once through the water, always dry the brakes by moving your vehicle slowly while applying light pressure on the brake pedal. Wet brakes do not stop the vehicle as quickly as dry brakes.
• Use the recommended engine oil. • Perform all regularly scheduled
maintenance.
• Use the coach and brake coach display
to get feedback on your economical drive style. For more information, See Information Displays (page 88).
Avoid these actions; they reduce your fuel economy: • Avoid sudden accelerations or hard accelerations. Accelerate and slow down in a smooth, moderate fashion. • Avoid revving the engine before turning
off your vehicle.
• Avoid long idle periods. • Do not warm up your vehicle on cold
mornings.
• Do not rest your foot on the brake
pedal while driving.
• Avoid carrying unnecessary weight.
Approximately 1 mile per gallon (0.4
kilometers per liter) is lost for every
400 pounds (180 kilograms) of weight
carried.
• Avoid adding particular accessories to
your vehicle (bug deflectors, car top carriers, ski or bike racks).
• Avoid driving with the wheels out of
alignment.
Things to keep in mind when you refuel your vehicle: •
Fuel generates fewer vapors when it is cool and dark outside. Fill your vehicle up in the early morning or late evening. • Use the recommended octane-rated
fuel. Using fuel below the recommended rating will lower your fuel economy.

• Call 911 if you observe leaking fluids,
sparks, smoke or flames, or hear gurgling or bubbling from the high-voltage battery.
Crashes A crash or impact significant enough to require an emergency response for conventional vehicles would also require the same response for an electric or hybrid-electric vehicle. If possible • Move your car to a safe, nearby
location and remain on the scene.
• Roll down the windows before shutting
your vehicle off.
• Place your vehicle in Park, set the parking brake, turn off the vehicle, activate the hazard lights, and move your key(s) at least 16 feet (5 meters) away from the vehicle.
Always • Call 911 if assistance is needed and
advise that an electric or hybrid-electric vehicle is involved.
• Do not touch exposed electrical
components or the engine compartment, as a shock hazard may exist.
• Avoid contact with leaking fluids and gases, and remain out of the way of oncoming traffic until emergency responders arrive.
• When emergency responders arrive,
tell them that the vehicle involved is an electric vehicle or hybrid vehicle.
Fires As with any vehicle, call 911 immediately if you see sparks, smoke or flames coming from the vehicle. • Exit the vehicle immediately. • Advise 911 that an electric or
hybrid-electric vehicle is involved.

GETTING THE SERVICES YOU
NEED
Warranty repairs to your vehicle must be
performed by an authorized dealer. While
any authorized dealer handling your vehicle
line will provide warranty service, we
recommend you return to your selling
authorized dealer who wants to ensure
your continued satisfaction.
Please note that certain warranty repairs
require special training and equipment, so
not all authorized dealers are authorized
to perform all warranty repairs. This means
that, depending on the warranty repair
needed, you may have to take your vehicle
to another authorized dealer.
A reasonable time must be allowed to
perform a repair after taking your vehicle
to the authorized dealer. Repairs will be
made using Ford or Motorcraft® parts, or
remanufactured or other parts that are
authorized by Ford.
Away From Home
If you are away from home when your
vehicle needs service, contact the Ford
Customer Relationship Center or use the

the first 18000 miles (29 000 km),
whichever occurs first:
1. Two or more repair attempts are made
on the same non-conformity likely to
cause death or serious bodily injury OR
2. Four or more repair attempts are made
on the same nonconformity (a defect
or condition that substantially impairs
the use, value or safety of the vehicle)
OR
3. The vehicle is out of service for repair of nonconformities for a total of more than 30 calendar days (not necessarily all at one time).

You are also required to use BBB AUTO
LINE before exercising rights or seeking
remedies created by the Federal
Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, 15 U.S.C.
sec. 2301 et seq. If you choose to seek
redress by pursuing rights and remedies

In order to help you serve you better, please have the following information available when contacting a Customer Relationship Center: • Vehicle Identification Number. •
Your telephone number (home and business). The name of the authorized dealer and city where located. The vehicle’s current odometer reading.
• In some states, you must directly notify Ford in writing before pursuing remedies under your state’s warranty laws. Ford is also allowed a final repair attempt in some states. In the United States, a warranty dispute must be submitted to the BBB AUTO LINE before taking action under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, or to the extent allowed by state law, before pursuing replacement or repurchase remedies provided by certain state laws. This dispute handling procedure is not required prior to enforcing state created rights or other rights which are independent of the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act or state replacement or repurchase laws. IN CALIFORNIA (U.S. ONLY) California Civil Code Section 1793.2(d) requires that, if a manufacturer or its representative is unable to repair a motor vehicle to conform to the vehicle’s applicable express warranty after a reasonable number of attempts, the manufacturer shall be required to either replace the vehicle with one substantially identical or repurchase the vehicle and reimburse the buyer in an amount equal to the actual price paid or payable by the consumer (less a reasonable allowance for consumer use). The consumer has the right to choose whether to receive a refund or replacement vehicle.

THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU (BBB) AUTO LINE PROGRAM (U.S. ONLY) Your satisfaction is important to Ford Motor Company and to your dealer. If a warranty concern has not been resolved using the three-step procedure outlined earlier in this chapter in the Getting the Services you need section, you may be eligible to participate in the BBB AUTO LINE program. The BBB AUTO LINE program consists of two parts – mediation and arbitration. During mediation, a representative of the BBB will contact both you and Ford Motor Company to explore options for settlement of the claim. If an agreement is not reached during mediation or you do not want to participate in mediation, and if your claim is eligible, you may participate in the arbitration process. An arbitration hearing will be scheduled so that you can present your case in an informal setting before an impartial person. The arbitrator will consider the testimony provided and make a decision after the hearing. Disputes submitted to the BBB AUTO LINE program are usually decided within forty days after you file your claim with the BBB. You are not bound by the decision, and may reject the decision and proceed to court where all findings of the BBB Auto Line dispute, and decision, are admissible in the court action. Should you choose to accept the BBB AUTO LINE decision, Ford is then bound by the decision, and must comply with the decision within 30 days of receipt of your acceptance letter. BBB AUTO LINE Application: Using the information provided below, please call or write to request a program application. You will be asked for your name and address, general information about your new vehicle, information about your warranty concerns, and any steps you have
already taken to try to resolve them. A
Customer Claim Form will be mailed that
will need to be completed, signed and
returned to the BBB along with proof of
ownership. Upon receipt, the BBB will
review the claim for eligibility under the
Program Summary Guidelines.
You can get more information by
calling BBB AUTO LINE at
1-800-955-5100, or writing to:
BBB AUTO LINE
4200 Wilson Boulevard, Suite 800
Arlington, Virginia 22203-1833
BBB AUTO LINE applications can also be
requested by calling the Ford Motor
Company Customer Relationship Center

right to change eligibility limitations, modify
procedures, or to discontinue this process

UTILIZING THE
MEDIATION/ARBITRATION
PROGRAM (CANADA ONLY)
For vehicles delivered to authorized
Canadian dealers. In those cases where
you continue to feel that the efforts by Ford
of Canada and the authorized dealer to
resolve a factory-related vehicle service
concern have been unsatisfactory, Ford of
Canada participates in an impartial third
party mediation/arbitration program
administered by the Canadian Motor
Vehicle Arbitration Plan (CAMVAP).
The CAMVAP program is a straight forward
and relatively speedy alternative to resolve
a disagreement when all other efforts to
produce a settlement have failed. This
procedure is without cost to you and is
designed to eliminate the need for lengthy
and expensive legal proceedings.
196
C-MAX (CCG)
Customer Assistance
In the CAMVAP program, impartial
third-party arbitrators conduct hearings at
mutually convenient times and places in
an informal environment. These impartial
arbitrators review the positions of the
parties, make decisions and, when
appropriate, render awards to resolve
disputes. CAMVAP decisions are fast, fair,
and final as the arbitrator’s award is
binding on both you and Ford of Canada.
CAMVAP services are available in all
Canadian territories and provinces. For
more information, without charge or
obligation, call your CAMVAP Provincial
Administrator directly at 1-800-207-0685
or visit www.camvap.ca.

WARNINGS
To reduce risk of electrical shock, always replace the cover to the power distribution box before
reconnecting the battery or refilling fluid reservoirs.
The power distribution box is located in the engine compartment. It has high-current fuses that protect your vehicle's main electrical systems from overloads. If you disconnect and reconnect the battery, you will need to reset some features. See Changing the 12V Battery (page 218). Lift the release lever at the rear of the cover to remove it.
FUSE SPECIFICATION CHART Pre-Fuse Box Your vehicle has a pre-fuse box attached to the power distribution box. There is a second pre-fuse box attached to the 12-volt battery terminal in the rear of your vehicle. They contain high-current fuses. If you need to replace one of these fuses, see an authorized dealer. Power Distribution Box WARNINGS
Always disconnect the battery before servicing high current fuses.
