E197525E197526 Wipers and Washers
Use the rotary control to adjust the sensitivity of the rain sensor: • Rotate the control down to low
sensitivity, and the wipers turn on when the rain sensor detects a large amount of moisture on the windshield. • When you move the wiper lever up
to the first position and the autowiper system is on, the autowiper sensitivity setting adjusts the wiper speed according to the moisture on the windshield only.
• When you lower the sensitivity, the
wipers remain in their ready position only. They do not wipe the windshield automatically unless the sensor detects moisture.
• Move the wiper lever position up to
the second position to wipe the windshield on-demand. • Rotate the control up to high
sensitivity, and the wipers turn on when the rain sensor detects a small amount of moisture on the windshield. • When you set the wiper control to a higher sensitivity, the wipers wipe the windshield once.
• Remember to move the wiper lever position up to the second position to wipe the windshield on-demand. The autowipers feature is active and ready when the wiper lever is in the first position and selected in the information display. You can change the autowipers feature to intermittent wipers through the information display. See General Information (page 93).

WINDSHIELD WASHERS Note: Do not operate the washers when the washer reservoir is empty. This may cause the washer pump to overheat.
To operate the washers and spray the windshield, pull the lever toward you. When you release the lever, the wipers will operate for a short time. REAR WINDOW WIPER AND WASHERS Rear Window Wiper Note: Make sure you switch the rear window wiper and ignition off before using an automatic car wash.
Note: Check your wiper function in the information display. See General Information (page 93). The autowipers feature functions only when you select the menu choice in the information display and you move the wiper lever up to the first position. The autowipers feature then remains on in the information display menu until you change it to intermittent wipe. Note: If you switch autolamps on in conjunction with autowipers, your low beam headlamps turn on automatically when the rain sensor activates the windshield wipers continuously. See Autolamps (page 75). Keep the outside of the windshield clean. The rain sensor is very sensitive. If the area around the mirror is dirty, then the wipers may operate if dirt, mist or insects hit the windshield. Wet or winter driving conditions with ice, snow or salty road mist can cause inconsistent and unexpected wiping or smearing. In these conditions, you can do the following to help keep your windshield clear: •
Lower the sensitivity of the autowipers to reduce the amount of smearing. Switch to normal or high-speed wipe by moving the wiper lever up. Switch the autowipers off and switch intermittent mode on through the information display. See General Information (page 93). Switch the autowipers off by moving the wiper lever down.

GENERAL INFORMATION Condensation in Lamp Assemblies Exterior lamps have vents to accommodate normal changes in air pressure. Condensation can be a natural by-product of this design. When moist air enters the lamp assembly through the vents, there is a possibility that condensation can occur when the temperature is cold. When normal condensation occurs, a fine mist can form on the interior of the lens. The fine mist eventually clears and exits through the vents during normal operation. Clearing time may take as long as 48 hours under dry weather conditions. Examples of acceptable condensation are: • The presence of a fine mist (no streaks, drip marks or large droplets).
• A fine mist covers less than 50% of the
lens.
Examples of unacceptable condensation are: • A water puddle inside the lamp. •
Streaks, drip marks or large droplets present on the interior of the lens.
If you see any unacceptable condensation, have your vehicle checked by an authorized dealer.
LIGHTING CONTROL

GAUGES
Left Information Display Speedometer Right Information Display
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 and Regen Active information.
85
C-MAX (CCG) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First 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 93). 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.
