Press the top of the button at the end of the lever to switch on the intermittent wiper. Press the button again to switch on low-speed wipe. Press the bottom of the button to switch the wiper off, or to change the wiper speed from low-speed to intermittent. When you shift into R (Reverse), the rear wiper will turn on to intermittent if the front wipers are activated.
Note: During wet or winter driving conditions with ice, snow or a salty road mist, inconsistent or unexpected wiping or smearing may occur. In these conditions, you can do the following: •
Lower the sensitivity of the autowipers to reduce the amount of smearing. Switch to normal or high-speed wipe. Switch the autowipers off.
• •
High sensitivity On Low sensitivity
The autowipers feature uses a rain sensor that is located in the area around the interior rear view mirror. The rain sensor monitors the amount of moisture on the windshield and automatically turns the wipers on. It will adjust the wiper speed by the amount of moisture that the sensor detects on the windshield. Use the rotary control to adjust the sensitivity of the rain sensor. Set the control to low sensitivity, and the wipers will turn on when the rain sensor detects a large amount of moisture on the windshield. Set the control to high sensitivity, and the wipers will turn on when the rain sensor detects a small amount of moisture on the windshield.

Left Information Display Odometer Located in the bottom of the information display Registers the accumulated distance your vehicle has traveled. Battery Gauge: Note: For Energi vehicles there are two versions of the battery gauge. When your vehicle is in hybrid mode, a simple battery graphic displays your battery information. When your vehicle is in plug-in power mode, an enhanced battery graphic displays your battery information. The high voltage battery gauge provides Charge Fill (State of Charge), Charge Assist, Regen Active and Electric Range (Energi only) information.
84
C-MAX (CCG) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Second Printing
Charge Fill (Hybrid Mode) The fill level, or State of Charge indicates the amount of energy stored in the high voltage battery as a percent of total energy capacity. The level will increase or decrease as the battery charges and discharges during normal operation. Charge Fill (Energi Plug-in Power Mode) The fill level indicates the amount of energy stored in the high voltage battery which is available for Plug-in Power Mode. A full fill represents the total amount of energy you can get from an external charge (plugging your vehicle in). When the fill reaches empty your vehicle will automatically enter Hybrid Mode.
ACBE162393 Instrument Cluster
Charge Assist The up and down arrows provide information about the energy going into and out of the high voltage battery. The up arrow above the battery indicates battery charging such as from regenerative braking. The down arrow below the battery indicates battery discharging to provide power for propulsion or vehicle accessories. Regen Active A circular arrow symbol appears in the center of the battery gauge when energy is being recaptured through the regenerative braking system. This feature can be switched on or off in the information displays settings menu. See General Information (page 91). Fuel Gauge: Note: The fuel gauge may vary slightly when your vehicle is moving or on a gradient.
Switch the ignition on. The fuel gauge will indicate approximately how much fuel is left in the fuel tank. The arrow adjacent to the fuel pump symbol indicates on which side of your vehicle the fuel filler door is located. The needle should move toward F when you refuel your vehicle. If the needle points to E after adding fuel, this indicates your vehicle needs service soon. After refueling some variability in needle position is normal: •
It may take a short time for the needle to reach F after leaving the gas station. This is normal and depends upon the slope of pavement at the gas station. The fuel amount dispensed into the tank is a little less or more than the gauge indicated. This is normal and depends upon the slope of pavement at the gas station. If the gas station nozzle shuts off before the tank is full, try a different gas pump nozzle. Low Fuel Reminder A low fuel reminder triggers when the fuel gauge needle is at 1/16th.

Engage Engage provides separate gauges for engine power and high voltage battery power in kilowatts (kW). The engine power gauge fill is white and the high voltage battery power gauge fill is blue. You can also see an instantaneous fuel economy gauge. When your vehicle is operating on battery power only, you will see EV displayed and the gauges will appear in blue. Empower Empower provides a power demand gauge in kilowatts (kW) which includes an engine on or off threshold.
• When your vehicle is operating with
battery power only (below the threshold), you will see EV displayed and the gauge fill is blue.
• When your vehicle is operating with both the engine and the high voltage battery providing power the gauge fill is white.
• When power demand surpasses the amber indicator, this level of demand and associated fuel economy displays in amber.
• When the engine is on, reducing power demand to less than the threshold will allow the engine to turn off.
You can also see an instantaneous fuel economy gauge.

Unique content available in MyView: • Vehicle Range (Energi vehicles only) – Indicates the estimated distance your vehicle will travel with the energy currently onboard. Separately displays range available in Hybrid Mode fueled by gasoline, electric range available in Plug-in Power Mode, and total range. Total range is also shown on the bottom of the right information display. Changes in driving pattern and climate control use will cause the values to vary.
• Accessory Power— Indicates electrical
power demands from your vehicle’s accessory systems. Accessories use power but do not contribute to propelling your 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 your vehicle as soon as safely possible, turn your vehicle off and let the engine cool.

Information Displays
Note: It is normal for your electric range estimate to vary from charge to charge due to changes in average energy usage. Energy Use Gauge: Your current energy use is the white line that moves up and down in the gauge. A higher line means you are using more energy (lower is better). Your energy use includes input from the accelerator pedal as well as the accessories, such as climate control. When operating in EV Now a blue cup shape is shown around the gauge. This represents the maximum energy usage you can maintain in order to achieve the estimated electric range when EV Now mode began. Keep your current energy use mostly within the cup while driving and you should achieve your electric range estimate. Climate Power Gauge: Indicates high voltage electrical power demand from you vehicle’s high voltage climate control components including the electric A/C compressor and the electric heater. These components use power but do not contribute to propelling your vehicle. The gauge displays power demand in kilowatts (kW). Trip 1 & 2
Provides trip odometer, trip average fuel economy and trip timer. Distance traveled on battery power only with the engine off is shown in blue next to total trip distance. For Energi vehicles total plug-in electricity used in kilowatt hours (kWh) is shown in blue next to trip average fuel economy.•
Tach rpm x 1000 — When the gasoline engine is running, the tachometer gauge displays the engine speed in revolutions per minute (RPM). When your vehicle is operating on battery power only with the engine off, EV displays and the tachometer is greyed out.
Note: The trip data, and average fuel economy cannot be reset in MyView. Energy Use (Energi only) Energy Use provides an estimated available electric range, a energy use gauge and a climate power gauge in addition to fuel level and battery display. When you select EV Now operation this screen will automatically be shown. You can press OK to enable the engine when viewing this screen during EV Now operation. See Hybrid Electric Vehicle (page 132). Electric Range: Electric range is the estimated distance you can travel in Plug-in Power Mode with the engine off. This is based on the amount of energy available in the high voltage battery and your average energy usage while driving. The amount of energy in the battery refers to the energy gained from charging the battery while plugged in. Energy usage is affected by: • Mild or aggressive acceleration or
braking. Your vehicle speed. Your use of accessories such as climate control. The ambient temperature and other weather conditions.
• •
•
• City or highway driving. • Road grades.

Coach This view provides a comparison of your recent acceleration, braking and cruising behavior, then recommends the most efficient use of energy under present conditions. The horizontal bars fill from left to right with best behavior and appear blue when at least half full. When the bars are less than half full, the color is amber, suggesting that you need a change in your driving behavior to achieve better energy efficiency. Note: Fuel Economy will be impacted by your use of brakes, accelerator and accessories, as well as environmental conditions such as hills and weather. Note: Fuel economy is not always a measure of appropriate driving behavior. For example, when driving uphill and maintaining an appropriate speed, your instant fuel economy may not be good (losing leaves) but the Coach may show a blue bar for Acceleration and Cruising. Common Displays Both Average fuel economy and an instantaneous fuel economy gauge are included in Engage, Empower and MyView (if selected) on the left information display. They are also included in Fuel History on the right information display.
Information Displays
Average Fuel Economy Average Fuel Economy is continuously averaged since the last reset. You can reset your average fuel economy by pressing and holding the OK button on the corresponding steering wheel controls. For Energi vehicles both Hybrid and Plug-in Power mode operation will be included in the calculation. Note: Average fuel economy cannot be reset in MyView. Instantaneous Fuel Economy If your instantaneous fuel economy is greater than the maximum value displayed, a + sign will be shown next to the maximum scale number. When your vehicle is operating on battery power only, EV will display and the gauge fill will show in blue.
