Another way to confirm whether the compressor is on is to select the climate power utilization gauge on the Left Hand side display.

I recently got a Fusion Titanium Gas only and noticed a few small differences from my Fusion Energi. The light switch and moonroof button are softtouch instead of buttons. There was no Fuel door door release button. Is there a specific requirement to have the switch on the Energi?

I was using grade assist but the battery not was not fully charged at the time. I'll watch it next time. Thanks

If you are planning to use an automatic car wash you should make sure you have the windshield wiper stalk set to off. If set to "intermitent" it will activate when it gets wet. Not a good thing with the rotating brushes. I always worry that the person that vacuums the car accidentally touches the stalk.

Is Ford Fusion Energi least reliable electric car?
Zman11 replied to Charlie3831's topic in Lounge - Fusion Energi
I had this happen a couple of times. My wife accidentally pressed the fuel cap release and drove it open for a mile or so and the engine light came on. Closed the fuel cap and it stayed on for a day or 2 and engine light went out. Did you accidentally hit the fuel cap release. Also, I recently drove a Fusion Ecoboost and noticed that there was no fuel door release button? Any reason the Energi has it? -

2 weeks after getting my Ti Energi we made a trip to CA. The trip odometer says I made 2463 miles with 770 in EV mode and 39.1MPG Average speed was between 65-75mph with air conditioner hit 105F in some areas. Did not have a chance to charge as my wife was not a fan of having to look for places to charge (That is why I got an Energi). Observations: * I loved BLIS and ACC. It was really nice not having to adjust to traffic speed with the ACC. Sometimes I had my foot on the brake pedal on the ready waiting for the Fusion to slow down. It did not fail me. I did chicken out and disabled it a couple of times as I thought it was not going to do it. * One issue I ran into a couple of times where the engine was revving around 4000rpm going 60mph. I disengaged ACC and Hill descent (I was on a 3% slope). It went back to normal (2000rpm) after a couple of minutes. Anybody experience this? * Took advantage of remote start via my smartphone so the air conditioner had 5 minutes head start. Wife really appreciated this. * She did not like the passenger seat being too low and not adjustable. She is 5' 1" and the sun visor was useless. Had to get a pillow :) Overall I am very happy with my Fusion. I had a BMW 335i convertible and don't really miss it. My wife has a BMW X5 that I am hoping it replaces for our long trips and might succeed. We get 15MPG so at more than twice the fuel economy on the Fusion.....

Are the fans supposed to only run when hot? I had my Fusion for a month and I can hear the fans on the rear shortly after plugin in.

Oil Change for the Internal Combustion Engine.
Zman11 replied to Phatman's topic in Batteries & Charging
When I picked up my Fusion, one of the sales guy checklist items was to schedule a free oil change appointment. I made it 6 months but probably should reschedule for 12 months. Anybody get it? Might be dealer specific. -
I seem to be having the same problem. Only difference is I assumed having the HD button lit was all that I needed to do. I did not realize HD stations will actually show on the display. Same with selecting surround and not sticking.
-
Same here. Drove to California for 850miles straight and ACC was a lifesaver. One thing I am curious about is when ACC has to brake does it turn on the brake lights?

I am having the same problem with State Farm right now. They asked me to take a picture of the car and the VIN and send it to them. Noticed that going to http://www.etis.ford.com and entering my VIN numbers it thinks it is a Transit Connect... -
It looks like there are a few that have the stop/go ACC Autonomous Cruise Control

Thanks Larryh and howardbc. So far, I have gotten a Chargepoint and Blink card (You register your credit card and will get charged as it gets used). I also installed the android apps. I don't think I will be able to do a lot of charging during my drive down there but i will try during the week as I am visiting relatives (Assuming they have an outlet nearby :)) What would be the easiest way to record MPG in hybrid mode. Wouldn't charging skew the numbers?
