Introduction CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING: Some constituents of engine exhaust, certain vehicle components, certain fluids contained in vehicles and certain products of component wear contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. PERCHLORATE MATERIAL Note: Certain components in your vehicle such as airbag modules, safety belt pretensioners, and remote control batteries may contain perchlorate material.
Introduction 7 Stopping: The vehicle is equipped with a regenerative braking system. Slowing the vehicle adds charge to the high voltage battery which improves vehicle range. Transmission Operation: This electric vehicle is equipped with a single speed transmission. Torque is delivered to the wheels seamlessly without shifting associated with a normal automatic transmission. Neutral: N (Neutral gear) Low: L (Low gear) is designed to mimic the enhanced engine braking available in conventional vehicles.
Introduction Driving to optimize range between charges Your range should improve throughout your electric vehicle’s break-in period. Range, like fuel economy in a standard vehicle, can be significantly impacted by your driving habits and accessory usage. For best results, keep in mind these tips: Tire Inflation: Keep tires properly inflated and only use recommended size. Drive Habits: Aggressive driving increases the amount of energy required to move your vehicle.
Introduction 9 Frequently asked questions Question What are the series of clicks from the cargo area when I first start my vehicle? How long will my high voltage battery last? Does it need maintenance? Can I flat tow my Focus Electric? How can I get a 240 volt charging station installed at my home? Answer The high voltage battery is electrically isolated from the rest of the vehicle when the key is off.
Introduction REPLACEMENT PARTS RECOMMENDATION Your vehicle has been built to the highest standards using quality parts. We recommend that you demand the use of genuine Ford and Motorcraft parts whenever your vehicle requires scheduled maintenance or repair. You can clearly identify genuine Ford and Motorcraft parts by looking for the Ford, FoMoCo or Motorcraft branding on the parts or their packaging.

Seating and Safety Restraints AIRBAG SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) 4 4 6 0 5 6 0 3 5 1 2 7 The supplemental restraint system is designed to work with the safety belt to help protect the driver and right front passenger from certain upper body injuries. WARNING: Airbags DO NOT inflate slowly or gently, and the risk of injury from a deploying airbag is the greatest close to the trim covering the airbag module.
Seating and Safety Restraints 195 WARNING: When possible, all children 12 years old and under should be properly restrained in a rear seating position. WARNING: The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recommends a minimum distance of at least 10 inches (25 cm) between an occupant’s chest and the driver airbag module. WARNING: Never place your arm over the airbag module as a deploying airbag can result in serious arm fractures or other injuries.
Seating and Safety Restraints Children and airbags Children must always be properly restrained. Accident statistics suggest that children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seating positions than in the front seating position. Failure to follow these instructions may increase the risk of injury in a collision. WARNING: Airbags can kill or injure a child in a child seat. NEVER place a rear-facing child seat in front of an active airbag.
Seating and Safety Restraints 197 The airbags inflate and deflate rapidly upon activation. After airbag deployment, it is normal to notice a smoke-like, powdery residue or smell the burnt propellant. This may consist of cornstarch, talcum powder (to lubricate the bag) or sodium compounds (e.g., baking soda) that result from the combustion process that inflates the airbag. Small amounts of sodium hydroxide may be present which may irritate the skin and eyes, but none of the residue is toxic.

Refer to Side curtain airbag system later in this chapter. • Front passenger sensing system. Refer to Front passenger sensing system later in this chapter. • “Passenger airbag off” or “pass airbag off” indicator lamp. Refer to Front passenger sensing system later in this chapter.
Seating and Safety Restraints 199 This system works with sensors that are part of the front passenger’s seat and safety belt to detect the presence of a properly seated occupant and determine if the front passenger’s frontal airbag should be enabled (may inflate) or not. The front passenger sensing system uses a pass airbag off indicator which will illuminate and stay lit to remind you that the front passenger PASS AIRBAG frontal airbag is disabled.
Seating and Safety Restraints • Have the person sit upright in the seat, centered on the seat cushion, with the person’s legs comfortably extended. • Restart the vehicle and have the person remain in this position for about two minutes. This will allow the system to detect that person and enable the passenger’s frontal airbag. • If the indicator lamp remains lit even after this, the person should be advised to ride in the rear seat.
Seating and Safety Restraints 201 To know if the front passenger sensing system is operating properly, refer to Crash sensors and Airbag Indicator later in this chapter. If the airbag readiness lamp is lit, do the following: The driver and/or adult passengers should check for any objects that may be lodged underneath the front passenger seat or cargo interfering with the seat.
Seating and Safety Restraints If any of these things happen, even intermittently, have the supplemental restraint system serviced at an authorized dealer immediately. Unless serviced, the system may not function properly in the event of a collision. Knee Airbag (if equipped) The knee airbag is located under the instrument panel. The system works along with the driver’s front airbag to help reduce injury to the legs.
Seating and Safety Restraints 203 How does the side airbag system work? The design and development of the side airbag system included recommended testing procedures that were developed by a group of automotive safety experts known as the Side Airbag Technical Working Group. These recommended testing procedures help reduce the risk of injuries related to the deployment of side airbags.
Seating and Safety Restraints WARNING: Several air bag system components get hot after inflation. Do not touch them after inflation. WARNING: If the side airbag has deployed, the airbag will not function again. The side airbag system (including the seat) must be inspected and serviced by an authorized dealer. If the airbag is not replaced, the unrepaired area will increase the risk of injury in a collision.
Seating and Safety Restraints 205 WARNING: Do not attempt to service, repair, or modify the side air curtain system, its fuses, the A, B, or C pillar trim, or the headliner on a vehicle containing a side air curtain. See your authorized dealer. WARNING: All occupants of the vehicle, including the driver, should always wear their safety belts even when an inflatable curtain is provided. WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, do not obstruct or place objects in the deployment zone of the inflatable curtain.
Seating and Safety Restraints Children 12 years old and under should always be properly restrained in the rear seats. The side air curtain will not interfere with children restrained using a properly installed child or booster seat because it is designed to inflate downward from the headliner above the doors along the side window openings. The side air curtains are mounted to the sheet metal above the first and second row seats.
Seating and Safety Restraints 207 Determining if the system is operational The SRS uses a readiness light in the instrument cluster or a tone to indicate the condition of the system. Refer to Warning lights and indicators in the Instrument Cluster chapter. Routine maintenance of the side airbag is not required. A difficulty with the system is indicated by one or more of the following: • The readiness light (same light as for front airbag system) will either flash or stay lit.

Seating and Safety Restraints 211 WARNING: Never let a passenger hold a child on his or her lap while the vehicle is moving. The passenger cannot protect the child from injury in a collision, which may result in serious injury or death. WARNING: Never use pillows, books, or towels to boost a child. They can slide around and increase the likelihood of injury or death in a collision. WARNING: Always restrain an unoccupied child seat or booster seat.
Seating and Safety Restraints If the child is the proper height, age, and weight (as specified by your child safety seat or booster manufacturer), fits the restraint and can be restrained properly, then restrain the child in the child safety seat or with the belt-positioning booster. Remember that child seats and belt-positioning boosters vary and may be designed to fit children of different heights, ages and weights.
Seating and Safety Restraints 213 Installing child safety seats with combination lap and shoulder belts Check to make sure the child seat is properly secured before each use. Children 12 and under should be properly restrained in a rear seating position whenever possible. If all children cannot be seated and restrained properly in a rear seating position, properly restrain the largest child in the front seat.
Seating and Safety Restraints 2. Pull down on the shoulder belt and then grasp the shoulder belt and lap belt together. 3. While holding the shoulder and lap belt portions together, route the tongue through the child seat according to the child seat manufacturer’s instructions. Be sure the belt webbing is not twisted. 4.
Seating and Safety Restraints 215 5. To put the retractor in the automatic locking mode, grasp the shoulder portion of the belt and pull downward until all of the belt is pulled out. Note: The automatic locking mode is available on the front passenger and rear seats. This vehicle does not require the use of a locking clip. 6. Allow the belt to retract to remove slack. The belt will click as it retracts to indicate it is in the automatic locking mode. 7.
Seating and Safety Restraints 10. Before placing the child in the seat, forcibly move the seat forward and back to make sure the seat is securely held in place. To check this, grab the seat at the belt path and attempt to move it side to side and forward and back. There should be no more than 1 inch (2.5 cm) of movement for proper installation. 11. Ford recommends checking with a NHTSA Certified Child Passenger Safety Technician (CPST) to make certain the child restraint is properly installed.
Seating and Safety Restraints 217 Your vehicle has LATCH lower anchors for child seat installation at the seating positions marked with the child seat symbol. The LATCH anchors are located at the rear section of the rear seat between the cushion and seatback below the symbols as shown. Follow the child seat manufacturer’s instructions to properly install a child seat with LATCH attachments. Follow the instructions on attaching child safety seats with tether straps.
Seating and Safety Restraints Use of inboard lower anchors from the outboard seating positions (center seating use) The lower anchors at the center of the second row rear seat are spaced 18 inches (450 mm) apart. The standardized spacing for LATCH lower anchors is 11 inches (280 mm) center to center. A child seat with rigid LATCH attachments cannot be installed at the center seating position.
Seating and Safety Restraints 219 Attaching child safety seats with tether straps Many forward-facing child safety seats include a tether strap which extends from the back of the child safety seat and hooks to an anchoring point called the top tether anchor. Tether straps are available as an accessory for many older safety seats.
Seating and Safety Restraints 2. Locate the correct anchor for the selected seating position. 3. Clip the tether strap to the anchor as shown. If the tether strap is clipped incorrectly, the child safety seat may not be retained properly in the event of a collision. 4. Tighten the child safety seat tether strap according to the manufacturer’s instructions. If the safety seat is not anchored properly, the risk of a child being injured in a collision greatly increases.
Seating and Safety Restraints 221 could increase the risk of serious injury in a crash. To improve the fit of both the lap and shoulder belt on children who have outgrown child safety seats, Ford Motor Company recommends use of a belt-positioning booster. Booster seats position a child so that vehicle lap/shoulder safety belts fit better. They lift the child up so that the lap belt rests low across the hips and the knees bend comfortably at the edge of the cushion, while minimizing slouching.
Seating and Safety Restraints Types of booster seats There are generally two types of belt-positioning booster seats: backless and high back. Always use booster seats in conjunction with the vehicle lap/shoulder belt. • Backless booster seats If your backless booster seat has a removable shield, remove the shield. If a vehicle seating position has a low seat back or no head restraint, a backless booster seat may place your child’s head (as measured at the tops of the ears) above the top of the seat.
Seating and Safety Restraints 223 If the booster seat slides on the vehicle seat, placing a rubberized mesh sold as shelf or carpet liner under the booster seat may improve this condition. Do not introduce any item thicker than this under the booster seat. Check with the booster seat manufacturer’s instructions. The importance of shoulder belts Using a booster without a shoulder belt increases the risk of a child’s head hitting a hard surface in a collision.
Seating and Safety Restraints Child restraint and safety belt maintenance Inspect the vehicle safety belts and child safety seat systems periodically to make sure they work properly and are not damaged. Inspect the vehicle and child seat safety belts to make sure there are no nicks, tears or cuts. Replace if necessary.
Tires, Wheels and Loading 225 IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR235/40R18 LOW-PROFILE TIRES AND WHEELS If your vehicle is equipped with 235/40R18 tires, they are low-profile tires. These tires and wheels are designed to give your vehicle a sport appearance. With low-profile tires, you may notice an increase in road noise and faster tire wear, depending on road conditions and driving styles.
Tires, Wheels and Loading Treadwear The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified government test course. For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and one-half (11⁄2) times as well on the government course as a tire graded 100.

An example of recreational towing would be towing your vehicle behind a motor home. In case of a roadside emergency with a disabled vehicle, please refer to Wrecker towing in the Roadside Emergencies chapter. These guidelines are designed to prevent damage to your vehicle. Do not tow your vehicle with any wheels on the ground, as vehicle or transmission damage may occur.
Driving STARTING Power Modes • Accessory – Press and release the power button without applying the brake pedal. This powers your vehicle’s electrical system and the warning lights in the instrument cluster illuminate, but the electric motor remains off. • Off – Press and release the power button without applying the brake pedal when your vehicle is in accessory mode or when the electric motor is running and the vehicle is not in motion.
Driving 253 Push Button Start System The power button is located on the instrument panel to the right of the steering wheel. Starting the Vehicle Note: To start your vehicle, your intelligent access key (IA key) must be present inside the vehicle. 1. Press the power button (for any length of time) while applying the brake pedal. 2. Release the parking brake, apply the brake, shift into gear and drive. There may be areas inside your vehicle where the IA key is not detected.
Driving Type 1 Type 2 Backup Starting Method Your IA key uses a radio frequency signal to communicate with your vehicle and authorize your vehicle to start when you press the power button and apply the brake pedal. If excessive radio frequency interference is present in the area, or if the battery in your IA key is low, it may be necessary to start your car by placing the IA key at the backup location on the steering column.
Driving 255 Switching the Vehicle Off When Not in P (Park) It is recommended that you shift into the P (Park) position before switching your vehicle off. If you switch your vehicle off with the shifter in any position other than P (Park), the message SHIFT TO PARK is displayed in the multifunction display. If the vehicle is left in this state, your key in ignition chime activates when the driver door is opened, and you may drain your vehicle’s battery.
Driving Four-wheel anti-lock brake system (ABS) Your vehicle is equipped with an anti-lock braking system (ABS). This system helps you maintain steering control during emergency stops by keeping the brakes from locking. Noise from the ABS pump motor and brake pedal pulsation may be observed during ABS braking and the brake pedal may suddenly travel a little farther as soon as ABS braking is done and normal brake operation resumes.
Driving 257 braking is not available. During regenerative braking, the motor is spun as a generator to create electrical current. This recharges the battery and slows the vehicle. In effect, once the accelerator pedal is released, the motor changes from an energy user to an energy producer.
Driving WARNING: Always set the parking brake fully and make sure that the gearshift is securely latched in P (Park). WARNING: If the parking brake is fully released, but the brake warning lamp remains illuminated, the brakes may not be working properly. See your authorized dealer as soon as possible.
Driving 259 WARNING: Remember that even advanced technology cannot defy the laws of physics. It’s always possible to lose control of a vehicle due to inappropriate driver input for the conditions. Aggressive driving on any road condition can cause you to lose control of your vehicle increasing the risk of personal injury or property damage.
Driving Traction control system (TCS) Traction control is a driver aid feature that helps your vehicle maintain traction of the wheels, typically when driving on slippery and/or hilly road surfaces, by detecting and controlling wheel spin. Excessive wheel spin is controlled in two ways, which may work separately or in tandem, motor traction control and brake traction control. Motor traction control works to limit drive-wheel spin by momentarily reducing motor power.
Driving 261 Switching off traction control If the vehicle is stuck in snow, mud or sand, and seems to lose power, switching off the traction control feature of the AdvanceTrac威 system may be beneficial because the wheels are allowed to spin. This will restore full power and will enhance momentum through the obstacle. The traction control system can be turned off through the message center. See Message center in the Instrument Cluster chapter for more information.
Driving If the steering wanders or pulls, check for: • an improperly inflated tire. • uneven tire wear. • loose or worn suspension components. • loose or worn steering components. • improper steering alignment. A high crown in the road or high crosswinds may also make the steering seem to wander/pull.
Driving 263 3. Locate the brake shift interlock lever on the passenger side of the shifter assembly. 4. Apply the brake pedal. Using a screwdriver (or similar tool), press and hold the white brake shift interlock lever forward while pulling the gearshift lever out of the P (Park) position and into the N (Neutral) position. 5. Reinstall the console side panel and attach the fastener. 6. Reinstall the access cover. 7. Apply the brake pedal, start the vehicle and release the parking brake.
Driving SINGLE SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WARNING: Always set the parking brake fully and make sure the gearshift lever is latched in P (Park). L D N R P The single-speed transmission is built specifically to handle the high RPM range that comes with an all-electric motor. P (Park) Note: The vehicle can only be started in P (Park). This position locks the transmission and prevents the front wheels from turning. To put your vehicle in gear: • Press the brake pedal.
Driving 265 HILL START ASSIST WARNING: The hill start assist feature does not replace the parking brake. When you leave the vehicle, always apply the parking brake and shift the transmission into P (Park). WARNING: You must remain in the vehicle once you have activated the hill start assist feature. WARNING: During all times, you are responsible for controlling the vehicle, supervising the hill start assist system and intervening, if required.
Driving If Your Vehicle Gets Stuck in Mud or Snow Note: Do not rock the vehicle if the motor is not at normal operating temperature or damage to the transmission may occur. Note: Excessive rocking of the vehicle may eventually cause a loss of power as the powertrain protects against overheating or damage. If your vehicle gets stuck in mud or snow, it may be rocked out by shifting between forward and reverse gears, stopping between shifts in a steady pattern.
Driving 267 WARNING: Certain add-on devices such as large trailer hitches, bike or surfboard racks and any device that may block the normal detection zone of the forward and reverse sensing system may create false beeps. The system detects obstacles up to 6 ft (2 m) from the rear bumper with a decreased coverage area at the outer corners of the bumper, (refer to the illustration for approximate zone coverage areas). As you move closer to the obstacle, the rate of the tone increases.
Driving REARVIEW CAMERA SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED) The rear video camera system, located in the rear of the vehicle above the license plate, provides a video image of the area behind the vehicle. It adds assistance to the driver while reversing or reverse parking the vehicle. To use the rear video camera system, place the transmission in R (Reverse). An image will display on the touchscreen display. The area displayed on the screen may vary according to the vehicle orientation and/or road condition.
Driving • • • • • • (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) 269 Rear bumper Red zone Yellow zone Green zone Centerline Active guidelines (if equipped) Active guidelines (6) will only be shown with fixed guidelines (2), (3) and (4). To use active guidelines, turn the steering wheel and point the active guidelines towards an intended path. If the steering wheel position is changed while reversing, the vehicle might deviate from the original intended path. Active guidelines project the intended path of the vehicle.
Driving Visual park aid alert (if equipped) Visual park aid alert allows the driver to see the area that is causing the reverse sensing system to beep. The visual alerts are red, yellow or green highlights which appear on top of the video image when an object is detected by the reverse sensing system. The visual alert will highlight the closest object detected by the reverse sensing system.
Driving 271 Rear camera delay After shifting out of R (Reverse) and into any gear other than P (Park), the image will remain until the vehicle speed reaches five mph (8 km/h). This will only occur if the rear camera delay feature is on, or until any radio button is selected. The default setting for the rear camera delay is OFF. To turn this feature on or off when the vehicle is not in R (Reverse), do the following: 1. Select Menu 2. Select Vehicle 3.
Driving WARNING: Objects that are close to either corner of the bumper or under the bumper, might not be seen on the screen due to the limited coverage of the camera system. WARNING: Backup as slow as possible since higher speeds might limit your reaction time to stop the vehicle. WARNING: When manual zoom is enabled (Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3), the full area behind the vehicle will not be shown. Be aware of your surroundings when using the manual zoom feature.
Driving 273 BLIND SPOT MIRRORS Blind spot mirrors have an integrated convex spotter mirror built into the upper outboard corner of the outside mirrors. They are designed to assist the driver by increasing visibility along the side of the vehicle. For more information on your side view mirrors, refer to Exterior mirrors in the Driver Controls chapter. Driving with blind spot mirrors Before a lane change, check the main mirror first, then check the blind spot mirror.
Driving DRIVING THROUGH WATER Note: Driving through deep water may allow water into the transmission and motor causing internal damage. Have the fluid checked and, if water is found, replace the fluid. Do not drive quickly through standing water, especially if the depth is unknown. Traction or brake capability may be limited and if enough water is present, the vehicle may stall. If driving through deep or standing water is unavoidable , proceed very slowly.

Note: Make sure that the level is between the MIN and MAX marks on the coolant reservoir. Note: Coolant expands when it is hot. The level may extend beyond the MAX mark.
Maintenance and Specifications WARNING: In an emergency, add water to the cooling system to reach an authorized dealer. Have the system checked by a properly trained technician as soon as possible. WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, make sure the Electric Powertrain Assembly (EPA) is cool before unscrewing the coolant pressure relief cap. The cooling system is under pressure; steam and hot liquid can come out forcefully when the cap is loosened slightly.
Maintenance and Specifications 333 Unscrew the cap slowly. Any pressure will escape as you unscrew the cap. Add prediluted coolant meeting the Ford specification. See the technical specifications chart in the Capacities and Specifications chapter for more information. Whenever coolant has been added, the coolant level in the coolant reservoir should be checked the next few times you drive the vehicle. If necessary, add enough prediluted coolant to bring the coolant level to the proper level.
Maintenance and Specifications BRAKE FLUID CHECK The fluid level will drop slowly as the brakes wear, and will rise when the brake components are replaced. Fluid levels between the MIN and MAX lines are within the normal operating range; there is no need to add fluid. If the fluid levels are outside of the normal operating range, the performance of the system could be compromised; seek service from your authorized dealer immediately. Note: Keep brake fluid clean.
Maintenance and Specifications 335 Body • Wash vehicle thoroughly to remove dirt, grease, oil, tar or mud from exterior surfaces, rear-wheel housing and underside of front fenders. See the Cleaning chapter for more information. • Periodically wash vehicles stored in exposed locations. • Touch-up raw or primed metal to prevent rust. • Cover chrome and stainless steel parts with a thick coat of auto wax to prevent discoloration. Rewax as necessary when the vehicle is washed.
Maintenance and Specifications LOW AND HIGH VOLTAGE BATTERY STORAGE If your vehicle is to be stored for 30 days or longer, the high voltage battery should be charged to above 25% state of charge and the low voltage (under hood) battery negative terminal should be disconnected. If your vehicle is to be stored for 3 months or longer, the high voltage battery should be charged to between 80% and 100% state of charge and the low voltage (under hood) battery negative terminal should be disconnected.

Scheduled Maintenance GENERAL MAINTENANCE INFORMATION Why Maintain Your Vehicle? Carefully following this schedule helps protect against major repair expenses resulting from neglect or inadequate maintenance and may also help to increase the value of your vehicle when you sell or trade it. It is your responsibility to see that all scheduled maintenance is performed and that the materials used meet Ford engineering specifications as identified in the Maintenance and Specifications chapter.
Scheduled Maintenance 347 Oils, Fluids and Flushing In many cases, fluid discoloration is a normal operating characteristic and, by itself, does not necessarily indicate a concern or that the fluid needs to be changed. However, discolored fluids that also show signs of overheating and/or foreign material contamination should be inspected immediately by a qualified expert such as the factory-trained technicians at your dealership.
Scheduled Maintenance Owner Checks and Services Certain basic maintenance checks and inspections should be performed by the owner or a service technician at the intervals indicated. Service information and supporting specifications are provided in this owner’s guide. Any adverse condition should be brought to the attention of your dealer or qualified service technician as soon as possible for the proper service advice.
Scheduled Maintenance 349 Multi-Point Inspection In order to keep your vehicle running right, it is important to have the systems on your vehicle checked regularly. This can help identify potential issues and prevent major problems. Ford Motor Company recommends the following multi-point inspection be performed at every scheduled maintenance interval to help make sure your vehicle keeps running great.
