A few questions about my just bought used Hybrid.

I just purchased a used 2013 C-Max Hybrid and I LOVE the car, its fully featured and drives well. I do a have a few questions about whether my vehicle has problems.

 

The first one is, I noticed the car does not have the "foot activated" hatch, after doing some research, this should be a feature on all SEL models of the 2013 hybrid? Or this Energi only? I looked at the owners manual and it states as long as it has an intellisense key (which I do), it should work? Is this something I will need to get fixed or not a feature?

 

Secondly, I noticed the car will always go into gas mode once the battery on screen is 35% left, I know how to drive the car to keep it in EV mode, but no matter what the car will kick into gas mode with this amount of battery left, I can play with the pedal to get it back into EV, and then it shortly goes back into gas. It seems like the battery capacity on this car is already used up quite a bit, or is this just normal behavior for this car?
