Frequently Asked Questions

Question Answer

What are the series of clicks from

the cargo area when I first turn

the key in the ignition?

The high voltage battery is

electrically isolated from the rest

of the vehicle when the key is off.

When the key is turned to on, high

voltage contactors inside the

battery are closed to make the

electricity available to the

motor/generator and enable the

vehicle to drive. The clicks are the

sound of these contactors as they

close and open during start up and

shut down.

Why does the engine sometimes

start at key-on?

The vehicle’s computer will

determine if an engine start is

required at key-on. Silent key start

will start the engine if it is

necessary for cabin heating,

windshield defrost, or if the

outside temperature is low. (For

C-MAX Energi vehicles, engine on

is not required to operate these

functions.)

Why does it take a long time

before the engine shuts down?

There are several reasons the

engine stays on for an extended

amount of time when it is first

started. One common reason is to

ensure that the emissions

components are warm enough to

minimize tailpipe emissions. As the

climate gets cooler, this engine-on

time is extended.
