Ford FUSION ENERGI - Essential Features; Tire Pressure; Roadside Assistance; Electric Parking Brake

Fuel Tank
Capacity/Fuel Info
Your vehicle has a fuel tank capacity of
14.0 gallons (53 liters). Use only “Regular”
unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of
87 or higher. Do not use E85 fuels because
your vehicle is not designed to run on
fuels with more than 15% ethanol.
Plug-in Hybrid Transmission
Your plug-in hybrid's transmission is
designed to work seamlessly, so you may
not feel shi changes as you normally would
in a gasoline-powered vehicle; however, you
may feel the transition when the system
changes from electric vehicle (EV) mode to
gas mode. This is normal. Since your engine
speed is controlled by the transmission, it
may seem elevated at times. This is also
normal operation, as it helps deliver fuel
eciency and performance.
Easy Fuel
®
System
Unlock the fuel door by
pressing the fuel button
located to the right of
your transmission shier
lever—it could be up to
15 seconds before the
fuel door opens. Insert
the fuel nozzle and begin fueling. Wait 10
seconds aer the nozzle is shut o before
you remove it from the vehicle. This allows
the residual fuel to drain into the tank.
Note
Make sure you close the fuel door
securely aer refueling. If the fuel door
remains open and the vehicle is driven, the
check engine light in the instrument cluster
may come on. Please see your Owner’s
Manual for complete details.

Note When using a portable fuel
container, only use the funnel that
comes with your vehicle. Do not use
aermarket funnels as they will not
work with the Easy Fuel system, and
may cause damage. Refer to the Fuel
and Refueling chapter of your Owner's

Fuel Freshness Mode
If you operate your vehicle mainly in
plug-in power mode, the gasoline in
your fuel tank eventually becomes
old. Old fuel can damage the engine
and fuel system. To prevent the fuel
from becoming old, your vehicle will
automatically enter fuel freshness mode.
This mode causes the gasoline engine
to run in order to consume the fuel in the
fuel tank. Refer to the Fuel and Refueling
chapter of your Owner's Manual for
more information.
