FORD 2013 Fusion Hybrid v.1 - Manual (Page 157)

EV Modes (Energi Only)
E144814
Your vehicle contains selectable
EV modes through the EV button
on the center console.
These modes are available when the
vehicle can run under high voltage battery
power. With the vehicle in driving mode,
you can change EV modes with each press
of the EV button. The current mode will be
displayed in the left hand instrument
cluster screen.
Auto Mode
E155152
This mode provides an
automatic use of high voltage
battery power during the drive,
staying in electric mode when possible and
running the engine when needed. This
mode will be the only one available if the
plug-in power has been depleted.
EV Now
E144814
This mode provides an electric
only driving experience. The
left-hand information display
will change to an Energy Use screen that
supplies EV specific tools and functions.
The vehicle may accelerate more slowly
and the top speed may be lower than in
Auto mode. At any time, the engine may
be enabled by using one of the following
methods:
1. Press the OK button on the left 5–way
steering wheel control while viewing
the EV screen. The vehicle will
automatically exit override after the
timer has expired and the engine shuts
down.
2. Press the accelerator pedal fully. A pop
up message stating Press OK to
Enable Engine will appear. Press OK
on the left steering wheel button to
activate as needed. The message will
disappear if the accelerator pedal is
released.
3. Press the EV button. This will change
the mode to EV Later and permit
engine operation.
The vehicle may automatically enter
Engine Enabled mode if system conditions
require it. A message Engine Enabled for
System Performance will display if this
occurs. This is normal function, and your
vehicle will return to EV mode when
possible.
The vehicle may enter Enable Engine mode
if the climate control is in a defrost mode
and the outside temperature is cold. A
message Engine Enabled Due to Defrost
will display if this occurs. If defrost is not
needed, select a different climate control
mode to permit EV Now.
There is a blue EV icon that is displayed in
the left-hand information display when EV
Now is enabled. If the vehicle is in the
Engine Enabled mode, the EV icon will be
yellow.
EV Now will automatically exit when the
Plug in power has been depleted.
EV Later
E151263
This mode saves the high
voltage battery plug in power for
future use (e.g. your initial drive
is at high speeds on open roads, but later
your drive will be at low speeds in an urban
area). Your vehicle will run the engine as
needed and keep most of the high voltage
battery plug in power for later use in Auto
Mode or EV Now mode.
