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.

Scheduled Maintenance and Mechanical Repairs

One of the best ways for you to make sure that your vehicle provides years of service is to have it maintained in line with our recommendations using parts that conform to the specifications detailed in this Owner’s Manual. Genuine Ford and Motorcraft parts meet or exceed these specifications.

Collision Repairs

We hope that you never experience a collision, but accidents do happen. Genuine Ford replacement collision parts meet our stringent requirements for fit, finish, structural integrity, corrosion protection and dent resistance. During vehicle development we validate these parts deliver the intended level of protection as a whole system. A great way to know for sure you are getting this level of protection is to use genuine Ford replacement collision parts.

Warranty on Replacement Parts

Genuine Ford and Motorcraft replacement parts are the only replacement parts that benefit from a Ford Warranty.

CHILD SEATS

WARNINGS

Secure children that are less than 150 centimetres (59 inches) tall in a suitable, approved child restraint, in

the rear seat.

Extreme Hazard! Do not use a rearward facing child restraint on a seat protected by an air bag in front

of it!

Read and follow the manufacturer’s instructions when you are fitting a child restraint.

Do not modify child restraints in any way.

Do not hold a child on your lap when the vehicle is moving.

WARNINGS

Do not leave unattended children in your vehicle.

If your vehicle has been involved in an accident, have the child restraints checked by properly trained

technicians.

Note: Mandatory use of child restraints varies from country to country.

Only child restraints certified to ECE-R44.03 (or later) have been tested and approved for use in your vehicle. A choice of these are available from your Dealer.

Child safety seat

Secure children that weigh between 13 and 18 kilograms (29 and 40 pounds) in a child safety seat (Group 1) in the rear seat.

CHILD SEAT POSITIONING

WARNINGS

Please consult your Dealer for the latest details relating to Ford recommended child seats.

WARNINGS

Extreme Hazard! Do not use a rearward facing child restraint on a seat protected by an air bag in front

of it!

When using a child seat with a support leg, the support leg must rest securely on the floor.

When using a child seat with a seat belt, make sure that the seat belt is not slack or twisted.

CAUTION

The child seat must rest tightly against the vehicle seat. It may be necessary to lift or remove the head

restraint. See Head Restraints (page 111).

Note: When using a child seat on a front seat, always adjust the front passenger seat to its fully rearwards position. If it proves difficult to tighten the lap section of the seat belt without slack remaining, adjust the seatback to the fully upright position and raise the height of the seat. See Seats (page 110).

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

Airbags

WARNINGS

Do not modify the front of your vehicle in any way. This could adversely affect deployment of the

airbags.

Extreme Hazard! Do not use a rearward facing child restraint on a seat protected by an airbag in front

of it!

Wear a seat belt and keep sufficient distance between yourself and the

steering wheel. Only when you use the seat belt properly, can it hold you in a position that allows the airbag to achieve its optimum effect. See Sitting in the Correct Position (page 110).

Have repairs to the steering wheel,

steering column, seats, airbags and

seat belts carried out by a properly trained technician.

Keep the areas in front of the airbags

free from obstruction. Do not affix

anything to or over the airbag covers.

Do not poke sharp objects into areas

where airbags are fitted. This could

damage and adversely affect deployment of the airbags.

Use seat covers designed for seats

with side airbags. Have these fitted

by a properly trained technician.

Note: You will hear a loud bang and see a cloud of harmless powdery residue if an airbag deploys. This is normal.

Note: Only wipe airbag covers with a damp cloth.

Front airbags

The driver airbag, front passenger airbag and the front seat belt pretensioners will deploy during significant frontal collisions or collisions that are up to 30 degrees from the left or the right. The airbags will inflate within a few thousandths of a second and deflate on contact with the occupants, thus cushioning forward body movement. During minor frontal collisions, overturns, rear collisions and side collisions, the driver and front passenger airbags will not deploy.

Side and curtain airbags

During significant lateral collisions, only the airbags on the side affected by the collision and the front seat belt pretensioners will deploy. The airbags will inflate within a few thousandths of a second and deflate on contact with the occupants, thus providing protection for the body. The side and curtain airbags will not deploy during minor lateral collisions, front collisions, rear collisions or overturns.

Focus (CB8) Vehicles Built From: 04-10-2012, Vehicles Built Up To: 31-12-2013

Occupant protection

Page 28

Side airbags

Side airbags are fitted inside the seatback of the front seats. A label indicates that side airbags are fitted to your vehicle.

Curtain airbags

Curtain airbags are fitted inside the trim panels over the front and rear side windows. Moulded badges in the B-pillar trim panels indicate that curtain airbags are fitted to your vehicle.

Seat belts

WARNINGS

Wear a seat belt and keep sufficient distance between yourself and the

steering wheel. Only when you use the seat belt properly, can it hold you in a position to achieve its optimum effect. See Sitting in the Correct Position (page

110).

WARNINGS

Never use a seat belt for more than one person.

Use the correct buckle for each seat belt.

Do not use a seat belt that is slack or twisted.

Do not wear thick clothing. The seat belt must fit tightly around your body to achieve its optimum effect.

Position the shoulder strap of the seat belt over the centre of your shoulder and position the lap strap

tightly across your hips.

The driver and front passenger seat belt systems are fitted with a seat belt pretensioner. Seat belt pretensioners have a lower deployment threshold than the airbags. During minor collisions, it is possible that only the seat belt pretensioners will deploy.

Status after a collision

WARNINGS

Seat belts subjected to strain, as a result of an accident, should be renewed and the anchorages

checked by a properly trained technician.

If a seat belt pretensioner has been deployed the seat belt must be renewed.

FASTENING THE SEAT BELTS

WARNING

Insert the tongue into the buckle until you hear a distinct click. You have not fastened the seat belt properly

if you do not hear a click.

SEAT BELT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

Note: Lifting the slider slightly while

pressing the locking button makes it easier to release the locking mechanism.

To raise or lower, press the locking button on the adjuster and move as necessary.

SEAT BELT REMINDER

WARNING

The occupant protection system will only provide optimum protection when you use the seat belt properly.

The seat belt reminder warning lamp illuminates and an audible

warning will sound if the driver's or front seat passenger's seat belt has not been fastened and the vehicle exceeds a relatively low speed. It will also illuminate if the driver's or front seat passenger's seat belt is unfastened when the vehicle is moving. The audible warning will go off after a few minutes but the seat belt reminder warning lamp will remain on until the driver's or front seat passenger's seat belt is fastened.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

Alarm system

Your vehicle may be equipped with one of the following alarm systems:

• Perimeter alarm.

• Perimeter alarm with interior sensors.

• Category one alarm with interior

sensors and battery back-up sounder.

Perimeter alarm

The perimeter alarm is a deterrent against unauthorised access to your vehicle through the doors and the bonnet. It also protects the audio unit.

Interior sensors

WARNING

The sensors in the interior lamp unit must not be covered up. Do not

activate the alarm with full guard if any persons, animals or other moving objects are inside the vehicle.

The sensors act as a deterrent against unauthorised intrusion by sensing any movement within the vehicle.

Battery back-up sounder

The battery back-up sounder is an extra alarm system which will sound a siren when the alarm is triggered. It is armed directly when you lock the vehicle. The sounder has its own battery and will sound an alarm siren even if someone disconnects the vehicle battery or the battery back-up sounder itself.

Triggering the alarm

Once armed, the alarm is triggered in any of the following ways:

• If someone opens a door, the tailgate or the bonnet without a valid key or remote control.

• If someone removes the audio or navigation system.

• If the ignition is turned to position I, II or III without a valid key.

• If the interior sensors detect movement within the vehicle.

• On vehicles with a battery back-up sounder, if someone disconnects the vehicle battery or the battery back-up sounder itself.

If the alarm is triggered, the alarm horn will sound for 30 seconds and the hazard warning flasher will flash for five minutes.

Any further attempts to perform one of the above will trigger the alarm again.

Full and reduced guard

Full guard

Full guard is the standard setting. In full guard, the interior sensors are

activated when you arm the alarm.

Note: This may result in false alarms if animals or moving objects are inside the vehicle.

Alarm

Page 44

Note: False alarms can also be triggered

by the auxiliary heater See Auxiliary Heater (page 107). If you are using the auxiliary heater, direct the air flow towards the footwell.

Reduced guard

In reduced guard, the interior sensors are deactivated when you arm the alarm.

Note: You can set the alarm to reduced guard for the current ignition cycle only. The next time you switch on the ignition, the alarm will be reset to full guard.

Ask on Exit

You can set the information display to ask you each time which level of guard you wish to set.

If you select Ask on Exit, the message Reduced guard? appears in the instrument cluster display each time you switch the ignition off.

If you wish to arm the alarm with reduced guard, press the OK button when this message appears.

If you wish to arm the alarm with full guard, leave the vehicle without pressing the OK button.

Selecting full or reduced guard

Note: Selecting Reduced does not set the

alarm permanently to reduced guard. It sets it to reduced guard only for the current ignition cycle. If you regularly set the alarm to reduced guard, select Ask on Exit.

You can select full or reduced guard using the information display. See General

Information (page 79).

Automatic wiper system

Some models without autowipers are fitted with a speed-dependent front screen wiper system.

When the vehicle is slowed to walking speed or is brought to a standstill, the wiper speed will automatically switch to the next lower wiper speed setting.

When the vehicle speed is increased, the wiper speed will return to the manually-chosen setting.

Moving the wiper lever when the system is operating will switch off the system.

If the vehicle is again slowed to walking speed or is brought to a standstill, the system is reactivated.

AUTOWIPERS

CAUTIONS

Do not switch autowipers on in dry weather conditions. The rain sensor

is very sensitive and the wipers may operate if dirt, mist or flies hit the windscreen.

Replace the wiper blades as soon as

they begin to leave bands of water

and smears. If you do not replace them, the rain sensor will continue to detect water on the windscreen and the wipers will operate, even though the majority of the windscreen is dry.

Fully defrost the windscreen in icy

conditions before you switch

autowipers on.

Switch autowipers off before you

enter a car wash.

Note: If autolamps have been switched on in conjunction with autowipers, dipped headlamps will illuminate automatically when the rain sensor activates the windscreen wipers continuously.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Condensation in Lamp Assemblies

Exterior lamps have vents to accommodate normal changes in air pressure.

Condensation can be a natural by-product of this design. When moist air enters the lamp assembly through the vents, there is a possibility that condensation can occur when the temperature is cold. When normal condensation occurs, a fine mist can form on the interior of the lens. The fine mist eventually clears and exits through the vents during normal operation.

Clearing time may take as long as 48 hours under dry weather conditions.

Examples of acceptable condensation are:

• The presence of a fine mist (no streaks, drip marks or large droplets).

• A fine mist covers less than 50% of the lens.

Examples of unacceptable condensation are:

• A water puddle inside the lamp.

• Streaks, drip marks or large droplets

present on the interior of the lens.

If you see any unacceptable condensation, have your vehicle checked by an authorised dealer.

AUTOLAMPS

WARNING

In severe weather conditions, it may be necessary to switch your headlamps on manually.

Note: If you have switched autolamps on, you can only switch the main beam on when autolamps has switched the headlamps on.

Note: If autolamps have been switched on in conjunction with autowipers, dipped headlamps will illuminate automatically when the rain sensor activates the windscreen wipers continuously.

Page 53

The headlamps will come on and go off automatically depending on the ambient light.

The headlamps will remain on for a period of time after you switch the ignition off. You can adjust the time delay using the information display. See Information

Displays (page 79).

AUTOMATIC MAIN BEAM CONTROL

WARNINGS

The system does not relieve you of your responsibility to drive with due

care and attention. A manual override may be necessary if the system fails to switch the main beam on or off.

A manual override may be required

when approaching other road users

such as cyclists.

Do not use the system in fog.

CAUTIONS

In cold and severe weather conditions the system may not function. A manual override may be necessary in

these cases.

Reflective road signs may be detected as oncoming traffic and the headlamps may be switched to

dipped beam.

If the lights of oncoming vehicles are hidden by obstacles (for example guard rails) the system may not

deactivate the main beam.

Always fit Ford Original Parts when replacing headlamp bulbs. Other bulbs may reduce system

performance.

CAUTIONS

Check and replace wiper blades regularly to ensure the camera sensor

has a clear view through the windscreen. Replacement wiper blades must be the correct length.

Note: Keep the windscreen free from obstructions such as bird droppings, insects and snow or ice.

The system will automatically switch on main beam if it is dark enough and no other traffic is present. If it detects an approaching vehicle’s headlamps or tail lamps, or street lighting ahead the system will switch off main beam before it can distract other road users. Dipped beams will remain on.

A camera sensor is centrally mounted behind the windscreen of the vehicle, and monitors conditions continuously to decide when to switch the main beam off and on.

Once the system is active the main beam will switch on if:

• It is dark enough to require the use of

main beams and

• there is no traffic or street lighting

ahead and

• vehicle speed is greater than 40 km/h

(25 mph).

The main beam will switch off if:

• The ambient light is high enough that

main beam is not required.

• An approaching vehicle's headlamps

or tail lamps are detected.

• Street lighting is detected.

• Vehicle speed falls below 25 km/h (16

mph).

• The camera sensor is too hot or

becomes blocked.

Activating the system

Switch on the system using the information display and autolamps. See Information Displays (page 79). See Autolamps (page 50).

Turn the switch to the autolamps position.

Note: The system may take a short time to initialise after first switching the ignition on, especially in very dark conditions. The main beam will not automatically switch on during this period.

Setting the system sensitivity

The system has three sensitivity levels which can be accessed via the information display. See Information Displays (page

79). The sensitivity determines the speed at

which the main beam will be restored after detected traffic leaves the field of view.

Manually overriding the system

Push or pull the lever to switch between main and dipped beam.

Note: This is a temporary override and the system will return to automatic operation after a short period.

To permanently deactivate the system use the information display menu or turn the lighting control switch from autolamps to headlamps.

AUTO-DIMMING MIRROR

The auto-dimming mirror will adjust automatically when hit by glaring light from behind. It will not work when you have selected reverse gear.

BLIND SPOT MONITOR

Blind spot information system (BLIS)

WARNINGS

The system is not designed to prevent contact with other vehicles

or objects. The system only provides a warning to assist you in detecting vehicles in the blind spot zones. The system will not detect obstacles, pedestrians, motorcyclists or cyclists.

Do not use the system as a

replacement for using the side and

rear view mirrors, and looking over your shoulder before changing lanes. The system is not a replacement for careful driving and is only to be used as an aid.

The system is a convenience feature that aids the driver in detecting vehicles that may have entered the blind spot zone (A). The detection area is on both sides of the vehicle extending rearwards from the exterior mirrors to approximately 3 metres (10 feet) beyond the bumper. The system will alert you if certain vehicles enter the blind spot zone whilst driving.

Using the system

The system displays a yellow indicator located in the exterior mirrors.

Note: Both indicators will illuminate briefly when you switch the ignition on to confirm that the system is operational.

Note: On vehicles with automatic transmission, the system is active only in S, D and N.

The system is only active when you exceed 10 km/h (6 mph). The system is temporarily deactivated when you select reverse gear.

System detection and alerts

The system will trigger the alert for vehicles that enter the blind spot zone from the rear or merge from the side. Vehicles that you pass, or vehicles that enter the blind spot zone from the front, will only trigger the alert after the vehicle has remained in the blind spot zone for a short period of time.

Focus (CB8) Vehicles Built From: 04-10-2012, Vehicles Built Up To: 31-12-2013

Windows and Mirrors

Page 72

Note: Vehicles that pass through the blind

zone quickly (typically less than 2 seconds) will not trigger the alert.

The system consists of two radar sensors each located behind the rear wheels hidden behind the bumpers.

CAUTIONS

Do not place items such as bumper stickers in this area.

Repairs to these areas using body filler will affect the performance of the system.

Detection limitations

There may be certain instances where vehicles entering and exiting the blind spot zones may not be detected.

Instances which may cause non-detection:

• Debris build up on the rear bumper panels in the area of the sensors.

• Certain manoeuvring of vehicles entering and exiting the blind zone.

• Vehicles passing through the blind zone at high speed.

• Severe weather conditions.

• Several vehicles passing through the

blind zone following each other closely.

False alerts

Note: False alerts are temporary and will

self correct.

There may be certain instances when the system will alert with no vehicle present in the blind zone.

Circumstances where false alerts may occur:

• Road guardrails.

• Motorway concrete walls.

• Construction areas.

• Sharp turns around a building.

• Bushes and trees.

• Cyclists and motorcyclists.

• Coming to a stop with a vehicle directly

behind but very close.

Turning the system on and off

Note: The on or off position will remain until

manually changed.

You can turn the system on and off using the information display. See Information Displays (page 79).

When you turn the system off no further alerts will be received. The BLIS warning indicator will illuminate. See Warning

Lamps and Indicators (page 74).

Detection errors

Note: The alert indicator in the mirror will

not illuminate.

If the system senses a fault on either sensor, the system warning symbol will illuminate and remain on. The information display will confirm the fault and indicate whether the left or right side is affected.

Blocked sensor

WARNING

Prior to the system recognizing a blocked condition and issuing a warning, the number of missed

objects will increase.

CAUTION

The sensors may not detect vehicles in heavy rain or other conditions that cause disruptive reflections.

Note: Keep the rear bumper area surrounding the sensors free from dirt, ice and snow.

If a sensor becomes blocked the system performance may degrade. A blocked sensor message may be displayed.

The system will automatically return to normal operation once two other vehicles have been detected on both sides.

Trailer towing false alerts

CAUTION

Vehicles fitted with a trailer tow module not approved by us may not

correctly be detected. Switch the system off to avoid false alerts. See Information Displays (page 79).

If the vehicle is fitted with a trailer tow module approved by us, the system will detect a connected trailer and deactivate. A confirmation message will be shown in the information display. See Information Messages (page 87). The BLIS warning indicator will illuminate. See Warning Lamps and Indicators (page 74).
