FORD 2013 C-MAX Hybrid v.3 - Manual (Page 194)

Note: EV Now mode can resume if less than 1 gallon (3.8 liters) of fuel
is left in the tank.
Note: In most cases, when the fuel level is below 1/4 tank, refueling the
vehicle will end fuel freshness mode and EV Now will now become
available. Refueling after consuming a full tank in fuel freshness mode
will end the mode.
Note: It is recommended to use a fuel stabilizer if you consume less
than a full tank of fuel during an 18 month period.
REFUELING
WARNING: Fuel vapor burns violently and a fuel fire can cause
severe injuries. To help avoid injuries to you and others:
• Read and follow all the instructions on the pump island.
• Turn off your engine when you are refueling.
• Do not smoke if you are near fuel or refueling your vehicle.
• Keep sparks, flames and smoking materials away from fuel.
• Stay outside your vehicle and do not leave the fuel pump unattended
when refueling your vehicle - this is against the law in some places.
• Keep children away from the fuel pump; never let children pump fuel.
• Do not use personal electronic devices while refueling.
Use the following guidelines to avoid electrostatic charge build-up when
filling an ungrounded fuel container:
• Place approved fuel container on the ground.
• DO NOT fill a fuel container while it is in the vehicle (including the
cargo area).
• Keep the fuel pump nozzle in contact with the fuel container while
filling.
• DO NOT use a device that would hold the fuel pump handle in the fill
position.
Using the Easy Fuel™ Capless Fuel System (Except C-MAX Energi)
WARNING: The fuel system may be under pressure. Insert the
fuel nozzle slowly. If you hear a hissing sound near the fuel filler
door, do not refuel until the sound stops. Otherwise, fuel may spray
out, which could cause serious personal injury.
