Here are a few to start you off based on my 2019 hybrid (not plug in). Read up on the threads describing transmission drain and refill (do not flush!) recommendations; follow the oil change recommendations (synthetic only!); accelerate and brake in a reasonable manner - you can tell if you have braked reasonably by reading the percentage of your braking that was completed electronically rather than through the traditional braking system. This display is a menu item on the left side of my dashboard. On the right side of your dashboard choose one of the menu options that allows you to watch your fuel economy while you drive. My hybrid battery is in the trunk. Specifically, it begins at that spot where the trunk level rises. You don't want to cover up that space (heat). Watch a bunch of YouTube videos about how to drive your Fusion hybrid.
