FORD 2013 C-MAX Hybrid v.3 - Manual (Page 197)

When fueling your vehicle:
1. Put the vehicle in P (Park) and turn the ignition off.
2. Press the fuel button located on
the instrument panel.
3. Wait up to 15 seconds before
opening the fuel filler door.
During this time a Please Wait to
Refuel message will appear in the
information display screen.
Note: When the door is open a Ready to Refuel message will appear in
the information display screen indicating that the vehicle is ready to
be filled. The vehicle will remain ready to refuel for approximately
20 minutes. If more than 20 minutes is exceeded, the refueling button
will need to be pressed again. (You may experience the fuel pump
shutting off if the refuel button is not pressed again).
4. Slowly insert the fuel filler nozzle
fully into the fuel system, and leave
the nozzle fully inserted to open
both doors until you are done
pumping. Hold handle higher
during insertion for easier access.
5. After you are done pumping
fuel, slowly remove the fuel filler
nozzle—allow about five to ten
seconds after pumping fuel before
removing the fuel filler nozzle.
This allows residual fuel to drain
back into the fuel tank and not spill
onto the vehicle.
