Scheduled Maintenance
EXCEPTIONS There are several exceptions to the Normal Schedule. They are listed below: Normal vehicle axle maintenance: Rear axles and power take-off (PTO) units with synthetic fluid and light-duty trucks equipped with Ford-design axles are lubricated for life; do not check or change fluid unless a leak is suspected, service is required or the assembly has been submerged in water. During long periods of trailer towing with outside temperatures above 70°F (21°C) and at wide-open throttle for long periods above 45 mph (72 km/h), non-synthetic rear axle fluids should be changed every 3,000 miles (4,800 km) or three months, whichever comes first. This interval can be waived if the axle is filled with 75W140
synthetic gear fluid meeting Ford specification WSL-M2C192-A, part number F1TZ-19580-B or equivalent. Add friction modifier XL-3
(EST-M2C118-A) or equivalent for complete refill of Traction-Lok rear axles (refer to Maintenance product specifications and capacities in the Maintenance and Specifications chapter for details). Police/Taxi/Livery vehicle axle maintenance: Change rear axle fluid every 100,000 miles (160,000 km). Rear axle fluid change may be waived if the axle was filled with 75W140 synthetic gear fluid meeting Ford specification WSL-M2C192-A, part number FITZ-19580-B or equivalent. Add four ounces (118 mL) of additive friction modifier XL-3
(EST-M2C118-A) or equivalent for complete refill of Traction-Lok rear axles. The axle fluid should be changed anytime the axle has been submerged in water California fuel filter replacement: If the vehicle is registered in California, the California Air Resources Board has determined that the failure to perform this maintenance item will not nullify the emission warranty or limit recall liability prior to the completion of the vehicle’s useful life. Ford Motor Company, however, urges you to have all recommended maintenance services performed at the specified intervals and to record all vehicle service. Class A Motorhome: Change brake fluid every two years. Hot climate oil change intervals: If operating conditions are normal and you drive your vehicle under typical, everyday conditions and you are using an API performance category oil of SL or later (for example SM, etc.) then you can follow the 7,500 mile (12,000 km) normal service oil change intervals schedule. Vehicles operating in the Middle East, North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa or locations with similar climates must follow the oil change interval of 3,000 mile (4,800 km) if the owner is 3402012 Fusion Hybrid (hfv) Owners Guide, 1st Printing USA (fus)
Scheduled Maintenance
using oils defined by the American Petroleum Institute (API) performance category of API SK or earlier (for example SJ, etc). Edge/MKX AWD only – vehicles operating off-road in sand during high ambient temperatures must replace the AWD PTU (All-wheel drive Power Transfer Unit) lube every 20,000 miles (32,000 km). Engine air filter & cabin air filter replacement: Engine air filter and cabin air filter life is dependent on exposure to dusty and dirty conditions. Vehicles operated in these conditions will require frequent inspection and replacement of the engine air filter and cabin air filter.
ENGINE COOLANT CHANGE RECORD Initial change
6 years or 100,000 miles (160,000 km) (whichever comes first)
After initial change Every 3 years or 50,000 miles (80,000 km)

Introduction
CONGRATULATIONS Congratulations on acquiring your new Ford. Please take the time to get well acquainted with your vehicle by reading this handbook. The more you know and understand about your vehicle, the greater the safety and pleasure you will derive from driving it. For more information on Ford Motor Company and its products visit the following website: • In the United States: www.ford.com • In Canada: www.ford.ca • In Australia: www.ford.com.au • In Mexico: www.ford.com.mx Additional owner information is given in separate publications. This Owner’s Guide describes every option and model variant available and therefore some of the items covered may not apply to your particular vehicle. Furthermore, due to printing cycles it may describe options before they are generally available. Remember to pass on this Owner’s Guide when reselling the vehicle. It is an integral part of the vehicle.
WARNING: Fuel pump shut-off: In the event of an accident this feature will automatically cut off the fuel supply to the
engine. It can also be activated through sudden vibration (e.g. collision when parking). To restart your vehicle, refer to Fuel pump shut-off in the Roadside Emergencies chapter.
SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION
Warning symbols in this guide
How can you reduce the risk of personal injury to yourself or others? In this guide, answers to such questions are contained in comments highlighted by the warning triangle symbol. These comments should be read and observed.
2012 Fusion Hybrid (hfv) Owners Guide, 1st Printing USA (fus)
Introduction
Warning symbols on your vehicle
When you see this symbol, it is imperative that you consult the relevant section of this guide before touching or attempting adjustment of any kind.
Protecting the environment We must all play our part in protecting the environment. Correct vehicle usage and the authorized disposal of waste, cleaning and lubrication materials are significant steps towards this aim. Information in this respect is highlighted in this guide with the tree symbol. CALIFORNIA Proposition 65 Warning
WARNING: Engine exhaust, some of its constituents, and certain vehicle components contain or emit chemicals known to
the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. In addition, certain fluids contained in vehicles and certain products of component wear contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
PERCHLORATE MATERIAL Certain components of this vehicle such as airbag modules, seat belt pretensioners, and button cell batteries may contain Perchlorate Material – Special handling may apply for service or vehicle end of life disposal. See www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate.
BREAKING-IN YOUR VEHICLE Your vehicle does not need an extensive break-in. Try not to drive continuously at the same speed for the first 1,000 miles (1,600 km) of new vehicle operation. Vary your speed frequently in order to give the moving parts a chance to break in. Do not add friction modifier compounds or special break-in oils since these additives may prevent piston ring seating. See Engine oil in the Maintenance and Specifications chapter for more information on oil usage.

Introduction
HYBRID OPERATION This hybrid vehicle combines electric and gasoline propulsion without compromise, to provide breakthrough performance and efficiency. It requires no special fuels and never has to be plugged in. Familiarizing yourself with these unique characteristics will help ensure optimal performance from your new vehicle. Normal vehicle operation Starting: Turn the ignition key to the start position while your vehicle is in P (Park). The green “Ready Indicator” light will appear in the instrument cluster, letting you know that the vehicle is ready for driving. The engine may not start because this Hybrid vehicle is equipped with Silent Key Start (SKS). This fuel saving feature allows your vehicle to be “ready to drive” without requiring the gas engine to be running. This indicator will remain on while the vehicle is on, whether the engine is running or not to indicate the vehicle is capable of movement (using its electric motor, engine, or both). The vehicle’s computer will determine if an engine start is required. Typically, the engine will not start unless the vehicle is cold, a climate control change is requested, or the accelerator is depressed. Note: You may notice higher engine speeds upon start-up. This temporary condition is normal and necessary to heat up the cabin and minimize emissions. Driving: The gas engine automatically starts and stops to provide power when it’s needed and to save fuel when it’s not. While coasting at low speeds, coming to a stop, or standing, the gas engine normally shuts down and the vehicle operates in electric-only mode. Conditions that may cause the engine to start up or remain running include: • Considerable vehicle acceleration • Vehicle speed above 47 mph (75 km/h) • Ascending a hill • Charge level of high voltage battery is low • Very high or low outside temperature (to provide system • Engine not warm enough to provide passenger requested cabin
cooling/heating)
temperature
Stopping: The gas engine may shut off to conserve fuel as you come to a stop. Restarting the vehicle is not required. Simply step on the accelerator when you are ready to drive.
2012 Fusion Hybrid (hfv) Owners Guide, 1st Printing USA (fus)
Introduction
Transmission Operation: Due to the technologically advanced, electronically-controlled Continuously Variable Transaxle (eCVT) you will not feel shift changes like those of a non-hybrid vehicle. Your hybrid’s transmission is designed to do its work seamlessly. Since engine speed is controlled by the transmission, it may seem elevated at times. This is normal hybrid operation and helps deliver fuel efficiency and performance. Neutral: It is not recommended to idle the vehicle in N (Neutral) for extended periods of time because this will discharge your high voltage battery and decrease fuel economy. Because of the unique nature of the hybrid vehicle, the engine will not start in the N (Neutral) position. Also, the engine cannot provide power to the hybrid system in N (Neutral). Low Gear: L (Low gear) is designed to mimic the enhanced engine braking available in non-hybrid vehicles. L (Low gear) will produce high engine speeds to provide necessary engine braking. This is normal and will not damage your vehicle. In L (Low gear) the gas engine will remain on more often than in D (Drive gear). Reverse: R (Reverse gear) vehicle speed is limited to 22 mph (35 km/h).
Unique Hybrid operating characteristics Your Hybrid, with its new technology, behaves differently compared to a non-hybrid. Here is a description of the major differences: Battery: Your Hybrid is equipped with a high voltage battery. A cool battery ensures battery life and provides the best possible performance. Your hybrid high voltage battery may periodically re-condition itself to ensure maximum efficiency. You may notice slight changes in drivability during this process, but it’s an important part of your hybrid’s high voltage battery optimization features. The high voltage battery is cooled by cabin air drawn from vent holes in the front of the rear seat cushions. Avoid placing objects at the vent holes which block air flow to the high voltage battery. The high voltage battery is located between the rear passenger seat and the trunk. Due to this location, the rear seat for the hybrid vehicle does not have the ability to be lowered to allow pass-through between the trunk and the rear of the passenger compartment. Do not attempt to lower the rear seat. If the vehicle is left inoperative for over 31 days, it may be necessary to jumpstart the vehicle. For more information, refer to Jump starting

Introduction
(Low voltage [underhood] battery only) in the Roadside Emergencies chapter and also refer to Low and high voltage battery — storage in the Maintenance and Specifications chapter. Engine: The engine speed in your hybrid is not directly tied to your vehicle speed. Your vehicle’s engine and transmission are designed to deliver the power you need at the most efficient engine speed. During heavy accelerations, your hybrid may reach high engine speeds (up to 6000 RPM). This is characteristic of the Atkinson cycle engine technology helping to maximize your hybrid’s fuel economy. In prolonged mountainous driving, you may see the engine tachometer changing without your input. This is intentional and maintains the battery charge level. You may also notice during extended downhill driving that your engine continues to run instead of shutting off. During this “engine braking”, the engine stays on, but it’s not using any fuel. You may also hear a slight whine or whistle when operating your vehicle. This is the normal operation of the electric generator in the hybrid system. During certain events (such as vehicle servicing) your low voltage (underhood) battery may become disconnected or disabled. When this occurs, and after reconnecting the low voltage (underhood) battery and driving the vehicle, the engine may continue to operate for 3-5 seconds after the key is turned to the off position. This is a normal condition, as the vehicle’s computers are relearning the operating characteristics of your particular engine in order to operate it at maximum efficiency. Braking: Your hybrid is equipped with standard hydraulic braking and regenerative braking. Regenerative braking is performed by your transmission and it captures brake energy and stores it in your high voltage battery.
Driving to optimize fuel economy Your fuel economy should improve throughout your hybrid’s break-in period. As with any vehicle, fuel economy can be significantly impacted by your driving habits and accessory usage. For best results, keep in mind these tips: Tire Inflation: Keep tires properly inflated and only use recommended size. Drive Habits: Aggressive driving increases the amount of energy required to move your vehicle. In general, better fuel economy is achieved with mild to moderate acceleration and deceleration. Moderate braking is particularly important since it allows you to maximize the energy captured by the regenerative braking system.

Introduction
NOTE: Having your engine running is not always an indication of inefficiency – in some cases it is actually more efficient than driving in electric mode. Additional Tips: • Do not carry extra loads • Be mindful of adding external accessories that may increase • Observe posted speed limits • Perform all scheduled maintenance • There is no need to wait for your engine to “warm up”. The vehicle is

Frequently asked questions Question What are the series of clicks from the cargo area when I first turn the key in the ignition?
Why does the engine sometimes start at key-on?
Answer The high voltage battery is electrically isolated from the rest of the vehicle when the key is off. When the key is turned to on, high voltage contactors inside the battery are closed to make the electricity available to the motor/generator and enable the vehicle to drive. The clicks are the sound of these contactors as they close and open during start up and shut down. The vehicle’s computer will determine if an engine start is required at key-on. Silent Key Start (SKS) will start the engine if it is necessary for cabin heating, windshield defrost, or if the outside temperature is low.

Introduction
Question Why does it take a long time before the engine shuts down?
Why does my engine never shut down above 47 mph (75 km/h)?
Why does my engine stay ON when it’s extremely cold outside?
Why does my engine rev up so high sometimes when I accelerate?
Answer There are several reasons the engine stays on for an extended amount of time when it is first started. One common reason is to ensure that the emissions components are warm enough to minimize tailpipe emissions. As the climate gets cooler, this “engine-ON” time is extended. The engine is required to turn on above this speed to protect the transmission hardware. In order to ensure that the climate control system can begin heating the cabin and/or defrosting the windshield as soon as a driver requests it, the engine coolant temperature has to be kept sufficiently hot. Keeping the engine on is required to maintain the correct minimum temperature. Your vehicle’s engine and transmission are designed to deliver the power you need at the most efficient engine speed. This may be higher than expected during heavy accelerations, and may fluctuate during steady state driving. These are characteristics of the Atkinson engine cycle and the eCVT transmission technology that help maximize your hybrid’s fuel economy.

Question What is the fan noise I hear from the rear of my hybrid?
How far can I go in Electric Drive if I run out of gas?
What is the engine oil change service interval?
Can I put E10 or E85 in my vehicle, and how will it affect my fuel economy?
Introduction
Answer The fan noise comes from a fan located inside the high voltage battery. This fan turns on when the battery requires cooling air. The fan speed, and associated noise level, will change according to the amount of cooling required to maintain good performance. Maintaining the battery temperature at optimal conditions also prolongs the useful life of the battery and helps to achieve better fuel economy. Running out of gas is not recommended. However, you may be able to go about one mile, driving at 30 mph (48 km/h), if the battery has a normal state of charge. The engine oil should be changed every 10,000 miles (16,000 km) under normal operating conditions. See the Scheduled Maintenance Guide chapter. Your hybrid vehicle can use E10
(10% ethanol, 90% gasoline) fuel, but you may notice slightly reduced fuel economy because ethanol contains less energy per gallon than gasoline. Your hybrid vehicle is not designed to use E85
(85% ethanol).11

Introduction
Question How long will my high voltage battery last? Does it need maintenance?
Can you charge the battery with a plug into an A/C outlet?
Can I tow the hybrid behind my motor home with all four wheels down?
Answer The high voltage battery system is designed to last the life of the vehicle and requires no maintenance. There are no provisions for charging the high voltage battery from a power supply external to the vehicle. Yes. Your hybrid vehicle can be “flat-towed” without modification. See the Recreational towing section in the Tires, Wheels and Loading chapter for more information.

Introduction
DATA RECORDING
Service Data Recording Service data recorders in your vehicle are capable of collecting and storing diagnostic information about your vehicle. This potentially includes information about the performance or status of various systems and modules in the vehicle, such as engine, throttle, steering or brake systems. In order to properly diagnose and service your vehicle, Ford Motor Company, Ford of Canada, and service and repair facilities may access or share among them vehicle diagnostic information received through a direct connection to your vehicle when diagnosing or servicing your vehicle. For U.S. only (if equipped), if you choose to use the SYNC威 Vehicle Health Report, you consent that certain diagnostic information may also be accessed electronically by Ford Motor Company and Ford authorized service facilities, and that the diagnostic information may be used for any purpose. See your SYNC威 supplement for more information.
Event Data Recording This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations, such as an airbag deployment or hitting a road obstacle; this data will assist in understanding how a vehicle’s systems performed. The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as: • How various systems in your vehicle were operating; • Whether or not the driver and passenger seatbelts were • How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator • How fast the vehicle was travelling; and • Where the driver was positioning the steering wheel. This data can help provide a better understanding of the circumstances in which crashes and injuries occur. Note: EDR data is recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs; no data is recorded by the EDR under normal driving conditions and no personal data or information (e.g., name, gender, age, and crash location) is recorded (see
and/or the brake pedal; and

Introduction
limitations regarding 911 Assist and Traffic, directions and Information privacy below). However, parties, such as law enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type of personally identifying data routinely acquired during a crash investigation. To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to the vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, other parties, such as law enforcement, that have such special equipment, can read the information if they have access to the vehicle or the EDR. Ford Motor Company and Ford of Canada do not access event data recorder information without obtaining consent, unless pursuant to court order or where required by law enforcement, other government authorities or other third parties acting with lawful authority. Other parties may seek to access the information independently of Ford Motor Company and Ford of Canada. Note: Including to the extent that any law pertaining to Event Data Recorders applies to SYNC威 or its features, please note the following: Once 911 Assist (if equipped) is enabled (set ON), 911
Assist may, through any paired and connected cell phone, disclose to emergency services that the vehicle has been in a crash involving the deployment of an airbag or, in certain vehicles, the activation of the fuel pump shut-off. Certain versions or updates to 911 Assist may also be capable of being used to electronically or verbally provide to 911 operators the vehicle location (such as latitude and longitude), and/or other details about the vehicle or crash or personal information about the occupants to assist 911
operators to provide the most appropriate emergency services. If you do not want to disclose this information, do not activate the 911 Assist feature. See your SYNC威 supplement for more information. Additionally, when you connect to Traffic, Directions and Information (if equipped, U.S. only) the service uses GPS technology and advanced vehicle sensors to collect the vehicle’s current location, travel direction, and speed (“vehicle travel information”) only to help provide you with the directions, traffic reports, or business searches your request. If you do not want Ford or its vendors to receive this information, do not activate the service. Ford Motor Company and the vendors it uses to provide you with this information do not store your vehicle travel information. For more information, see Traffic, Directions and Information, Terms and Conditions. See your SYNC威 supplement for more information. 142012 Fusion Hybrid (hfv) Owners Guide, 1st Printing USA (fus)
