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.

Introduction

Warranty on Replacement Parts

Genuine Ford and Motorcraft replacement parts are the only replacement parts that benefit from a Ford Warranty. Damage caused to your vehicle as a result of the failure of non-Ford parts may not be covered by the Ford Warranty. For additional information, refer to the terms and conditions of the Ford Warranty.

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.

of it!

Wear a safety belt and keep sufficient distance between yourself

and the steering wheel. Only when you use the safety 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 109).

Have repairs to the steering wheel,

steering column, seats, airbags and

safety 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 safety 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 safety 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.

Occupant protection

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.

Safety belts

WARNINGS

Wear a safety belt and keep sufficient distance between yourself

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

Position (page 109).

WARNINGS

Never use a safety belt for more than one person.

Use the correct buckle for each safety belt.

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

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

effect.

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

tightly across your hips.

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

Status after a collision

WARNINGS

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

checked by a properly trained technician.

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

FASTENING THE SAFETY BELTS

WARNING

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

if you do not hear a click.

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 unauthorized access to your vehicle through the doors and the hood. 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 unauthorized 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 hood 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.

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 authorized 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 high beam on when autolamps has switched the headlamps on.

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

Focus (CB8) Vehicles Built From: 26-08-2013, Vehicles Built Up To: 31-12-2013

Lighting

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 HIGH 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 high 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.

In cold and severe weather

conditions the system may not

function. A manual override may be necessary in these cases.

The system may not deactivate the

high beam if the lights of oncoming

vehicles are hidden by obstacles (for example guard rails).

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.

Note: Reflective road signs may be detected as oncoming traffic and the headlamps will be switched to low beam.

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

The system will automatically switch on high beams 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 high beam before it can distract other road users. Low beam will remain on.

A camera sensor is centrally mounted behind the windshield of your vehicle. This monitors conditions continuously to decide when to switch the high beams on and off.

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

• It is dark enough to require the use of high beams and

• there is no traffic or street lighting ahead and

• vehicle speed is greater than 25 mph (40 km/h).

The high beam will switch off if:

• The ambient light is high enough that high beam is not required.

• An approaching vehicle's headlamps or tail lamps are detected.

• Street lighting is detected.

• Vehicle speed falls below 16 mph (25

km/h).

• The camera sensor is too hot or becomes blocked.

Switching the System On

Switch the system on using the information display. See Information Displays (page

79).

Focus (CB8) Vehicles Built From: 26-08-2013, Vehicles Built Up To: 31-12-2013

Lighting

Turn the switch to the autolamps position. See Autolamps (page 50).

The indicator will illuminate to confirm when the system is ready to assist.

Note: The indicator will only illuminate when it is dark and headlamps have been switched on.

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

Setting the System Sensitivity

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

79). The set level determines the speed at

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

Manually Overriding the System

Push or pull the lever to switch between high and low beam.

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

To permanently switch the system off, use the information display menu or turn the lighting control switch to the headlamps position.

BLIND SPOT INFORMATION SYSTEM

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 meters (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.

Focus (CB8) Vehicles Built From: 26-08-2013, Vehicles Built Up To: 31-12-2013

Windows and Mirrors

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.

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.

• Highway 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.

Focus (CB8) Vehicles Built From: 26-08-2013, Vehicles Built Up To: 31-12-2013

Windows and Mirrors

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 86). The BLIS warning indicator will illuminate. See Warning Lamps and Indicators (page 74).

Information Displays

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

Outside air

Keep the air intakes forward of the windshield free from obstruction (snow, leaves etc.) to allow the climate control system to function effectively.

Recirculated air

CAUTION

Prolonged use of recirculated air may cause the windows to mist up. If the

windows mist up, follow the settings for defrosting and demisting the windshield.

The air currently in the passenger compartment will be recirculated. Outside air will not enter the vehicle.

Heating

Heating performance depends on the temperature of the engine coolant.

Air conditioning

Note: The air conditioning operates only

when the temperature is above 4°C (39°F). Note: If you use the air conditioning, the

fuel consumption of your vehicle will be higher.

Air is directed through the evaporator where it is cooled. Humidity is extracted from the air to help keep the windows free of mist. The resulting condensation is directed to the outside of the vehicle and it is therefore normal if you see a small pool of water under your vehicle.

General information on controlling the interior climate

Fully close all the windows.

Warming the interior

Direct the air towards your feet. In cold or humid weather conditions, direct some of the air towards the windshield and the door windows.

Cooling the interior

Direct the air towards your face.
