Energy Saving Tips

2017 MKZ HYBRID
Help Maximize Your Fuel Economy by Utilizing These Few Tips
1. Use smooth acceleration and braking. According to the United States
Department of Energy, aggressive driving can lower your gas mileage by
up to 33 percent at highway speeds and 5 percent in the city.
2. Carry the bare essentials. The Department of Energy estimates that an
extra 100 pounds (45.4 kilograms) in your vehicle could reduce your fuel
economy by up to two percent.
3. Seasonal fuel makes a difference. Winter fuel contains slightly
less energy than summer fuel, so the fuel blend you fill up with
can impact your efficiency.
4. Idling burns fuel, too. You can burn up to half a gallon (1.9 liters)
of fuel per hour while idling. Minimize your morning warm-up and
parking lot waits to get the most out of filling your tank.
5. Avoid extreme temperatures. Find a shady or sheltered spot
to help keep your lithium-ion battery operating efficiently,
and minimize the amount of energy required to heat or
cool your cabin.
6. Use accessories wisely. Heated seats, the rear defroster, the air
conditioner and other power features draw electrical energy. When
you operate your accessories, you may notice that the gasoline engine
needs to start. Check out your “Accessory Power” when configuring
your MyView screen to see how much electricity you are using to
power your vehicle’s accessories.

7. Check your tires. Proper tire inflation can help you improve your fuel
economy by up to 3.3 percent, according to the Department of Energy,
while under-inflation could lower your fuel economy by 0.3 percent for
every 1 psi drop in pressure of all four tires. Check your vehicle’s door
sticker for recommended cold tire inflation pressure.
Fuel History and Coach
Within the information displays, you’ll be able to see how your driving style
directly impacts your fuel economy.
Fuel history provides instant fuel economy, plus your recent fuel economy
averaged over selectable intervals of 1, 2 or 6 minutes.
Coach can teach you how to improve your fuel economy by providing
feedback on your recent acceleration, braking and cruising behavior.
Efficiency leaves and flowers show your recent driving efficiency measured
over the last few minutes. Better efficiency equals more leaves, and when
long-term driving efficiency improves, you’ll see flowers!
Eco Cruise
This feature saves vehicle energy by slowing down acceleration compared
to standard cruise control. Your vehicle may relax its acceleration temporarily
when going uphill. See the Cruise Control chapter in your Owner's Manual.
Eco Cruise is part of the EcoSelect feature. You can switch EcoSelect on by
pressing the ECO button
on your cruise control. For more information, refer to the Unique Driving
Characteristics chapter in your Owner’s Manual.
