ABOUT THIS MANUAL

Thank you for choosing Ford. We
recommend that you take some time to
get to know your vehicle by reading this
manual. The more that you know about
it, the greater the safety and pleasure you
will get from driving it.

WARNING

Driving while distracted can result in
loss of vehicle control, crash and

injury. We strongly recommend that
you use extreme caution when using any
device that may take your focus off the
road. Your primary responsibility is the safe
operation of your vehicle. We recommend
against the use of any hand-held device
while driving and encourage the use of
voice-operated systems when possible.
Make sure you are aware of all applicable
local laws that may affect the use of
electronic devices while driving.

Note: This manual describes product
features and options available throughout
the range of available models, sometimes
even before they are generally available. It
may describe options not fitted to the
vehicle you have purchased.

Note: Some of the illustrations in this
manual may show features as used in
different models, so may appear different
to you on your vehicle.

Note: Always use and operate your vehicle
in line with all applicable laws and
regulations.

Note: Pass on this manual when selling
your vehicle. It is an integral part of your
vehicle.

This manual may qualify the location of a
component as left-hand side or right-hand
side. The side is determined when facing
forward in the seat.

DATA RECORDING

A large number of electronic components
of your vehicle contain data storage
modules temporarily or permanently
storing technical data about the condition
of the vehicle, events and errors.

In general, this technical information
documents the condition of parts,
modules, systems or the environment:

• Operating conditions of system
components (e.g. filling levels).

• Status messages of the vehicle and its
individual components (e.g. number of
wheel revolutions/rotational speed,
deceleration, lateral acceleration).

• Malfunction and defects in important
system components (e.g. lighting and
brake system).

• Vehicle reactions in particular driving
situations (e.g. inflation of an airbag,
activation of the stability regulation
system).

• Environmental conditions (e.g.
temperature).

These data are exclusively technical and
help identification and correction of errors
as well as optimisation of vehicle
functions. Motion profiles indicating
travelled routes cannot be created with
these data.

If services are used (e.g. repair works,
service processes, warranty cases, quality
assurance), employees of the service
network (including manufacturers) are
able to read out this technical information
from the event and error data storage
modules using special diagnostic devices.
If required, you will receive further
information. After an error has been
corrected, these data are deleted from the
error storage module or they are constantly
overwritten.

When using the vehicle, situations may
occur in which these technical data related
to other information (accident report,
damages on the vehicle, witness
statements etc.) may be associated with
a specific person - possibly, with the
assistance of an expert.

Introduction

Additional functions contractually agreed
upon with the client (e.g. vehicle location
in emergency cases) allow the
transmission of particular vehicle data
from the vehicle.

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. 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.

MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS EQUIPMENT

Using mobile communications equipment
is becoming increasingly important in the
conduct of business and personal affairs.
However, you must not compromise your
own or others’ safety when using such
equipment. Mobile communications can
enhance personal safety and security when
appropriately used, particularly in
emergency situations. Safety must be
paramount when using mobile
communications equipment to avoid
negating these benefits. Mobile
communication equipment includes, but
is not limited to, cellular phones, pagers,
portable email devices, text messaging
devices and portable two-way radios.

WARNING

Driving while distracted can result in
loss of vehicle control, crash and

injury. We strongly recommend that
you use extreme caution when using any
device that may take your focus off the
road. Your primary responsibility is the safe
operation of your vehicle. We recommend
against the use of any hand-held device
while driving and encourage the use of
voice-operated systems when possible.
Make sure you are aware of all applicable
local laws that may affect the use of
electronic devices while driving.

INSTALLING CHILD SEATS

WARNINGS

Extreme Hazard! Never use a
rearward facing child restraint on a

seat protected by an active airbag in
front of it. Death or serious injury to the
child can occur.

WARNINGS

Your vehicle may have a passenger
airbag deactivation switch. You must

switch the airbag off when using a
rearward facing child seat on the front
seat. Make sure you switch the airbag back
on following removal of the rearward
facing child seat. Failure to follow this
warning could result in serious personal
injury or death.

Use an approved child seat to secure

children less than 59 in (150 cm) tall

on the rear seat.

Read and follow the manufacturer’s

instructions when you are installing

a child seat.

Do not modify child seats in any way.

Do not hold a child on your lap when

your vehicle is moving.

To avoid risk of injury, do not leave

children or pets unattended in your

vehicle.

If your vehicle has been involved in a

crash, have the child seats checked

by an authorized dealer.

Only child seats certified to ECE-R129,
ECE-R44.03 or later have been tested and
approved for use in your vehicle. A choice
of child seats are available from authorized
dealers.

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

Child Seats for Different Mass
Groups

Use the correct child seat as follows:

Focus (CEW) Vehicles Built From: 08-09-2014, CG3630en enGBR, Edition date: 09/2014, First Printing

Child Safety

Rearward Facing Baby Safety Seat
(Group 0+)

Secure children that weigh less than 29 lb
(13 kg) in a rearward facing baby safety
seat on the rear seat.

Child Safety Seat (Group 1)

Secure children that weigh between 29 lb
(13 kg) and 40 lb (18 kg)in a child safety
seat on the rear seat.

Booster Seats

WARNINGS

Do not install a booster seat or a
booster cushion with only the lap
strap of the safety belt.

Do not install a booster seat or a
booster cushion with a safety belt
that is slack or twisted.

Do not put the safety belt under your
child’s arm or behind your child's
back.

Do not use pillows, books or towels
to boost your child’s height.

Make sure that your children sit in an
upright position.

Make sure the child seat rests tightly
against the vehicle seat. If necessary,

adjust the seat backrest to an upright
position. It may also be necessary to lift or
remove the head restraint. See Head
Restraints (page 99).

You must reinstall the head restraint

following the removal of the child

seat. See Head Restraints (page

99).

Secure children that weigh more than 33 lb
(15 kg) but are less than 59.06 in (150 cm)
tall in a booster seat or a booster cushion.

Focus (CEW) Vehicles Built From: 08-09-2014, CG3630en enGBR, Edition date: 09/2014, First Printing

Child Safety

Booster Seat (Group 2)

We recommend that you use a booster
seat that combines a cushion with a
backrest instead of a booster cushion only.
The raised seating position will allow you
to position the shoulder strap of the adult
safety belt over the center of your child’s
shoulder and the lap strap tightly across
your child's hips.

Booster Cushion (Group 3)

ISOFIX Anchor Points

WARNING

Use an anti-rotation device when
using the ISOFIX system. We
recommend the use of a top tether

or support leg.

Your vehicle has ISOFIX anchor points that
accommodate universally approved
ISOFIX child seats.

The ISOFIX system has two rigid
attachment arms on the child seat. These
attach to anchor points on the second row
seats, where the cushion and backrest
meet. For child seats with a top tether,
tether anchor points are on the rear of the
second row seats.

Note: When you are purchasing an ISOFIX
seat, make sure that you know the correct
mass group and ISOFIX size class for the
intended seating locations. See Child Seat
Positioning (page 21).

CHILD SEAT POSITIONING

WARNINGS

See an authorized dealer for the
latest details relating to our
recommended child seats.

Extreme Hazard! Never use a
rearward facing child restraint on a

seat protected by an active airbag in
front of it. Death or serious injury to the
child can occur.

WARNINGS

If you use a child seat that has a
support leg, make sure the support
leg rests securely on the floor.

If you use a child seat and a safety
belt, make sure that the safety belt
is not slack or twisted.

Make sure the child seat rests tightly
against the vehicle seat. If necessary,

adjust the seat backrest to an upright
position. It may also be necessary to lift or
remove the head restraint. See Head
Restraints (page 99).

You must reinstall the head restraint

following the removal of the child

seat. See Head Restraints (page

99).

Note: When using a child seat on a front
seat, always adjust the front passenger seat
as far back as possible. If it proves difficult
to tighten the lap section of the safety belt
without slack remaining, adjust the seat
backrest to the fully upright position and
raise the height of the seat. See Seats
(page 99).

FASTENING THE SAFETY BELTS

WARNINGS

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

if you do not hear a click.

Make sure that your safety belt is
securely stored away and is not
outside your vehicle when closing the

door.

Pull the safety belt out steadily. It may lock
if you pull it sharply or if your vehicle is on
a slope.

The rear outer safety belts can lock if you
return the seat backrest from a folded
position to the upright position forcefully.
Should the safety belt lock, feed a small
length of webbing back toward the stowed
position.

Press the red button on the buckle to
release the safety belt. Hold the tongue

Safety Belts

WARNING

Position the safety belt correctly for
your safety and that of your unborn
child. Do not use only the lap strap

or the shoulder strap.

Pregnant women should always wear their
safety belt. The lap belt portion of a
combination lap and shoulder belt should
be positioned low across the hips below
the belly and worn as tight as comfort will
allow. The shoulder belt should be
positioned to cross the middle of the
shoulder and the center of the chest.

SAFETY BELT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

WARNING

Position the safety belt height
adjusters so that the belt rests

across the middle of your shoulder.
Failure to adjust the safety belt correctly
could reduce the effectiveness of the
safety belt and increase the risk of injury in
a crash.

To adjust the shoulder belt height, squeeze
the button and slide the height adjuster up
or down. Release the button and pull down
on the height adjuster to make sure it is
locked in place.

SAFETY BELT MINDER

WARNING

The system will only provide
protection when you use the safety
belt correctly.

The warning lamp illuminates and an
audible warning will sound when the
following conditions have been met:

• The front safety belts have not been
fastened.

• Your vehicle exceeds a relatively low
speed.

It will also illuminate and sound if a front
safety belt is unfastened when your vehicle
is moving.

If you do not fasten your safety belt the
warning switches off automatically after
approximately five minutes.

Turning the Safety Belt Minder Off

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

WARNINGS

Extreme Hazard! Never use a
rearward facing child restraint on a

seat protected by an active airbag in
front of it. Death or serious injury to the
child can occur.

Do not modify the front of your

vehicle in any way. This could

adversely affect deployment of the
airbags. Failure to adhere to this warning
could result in serious personal injury or
death.

Wear a safety belt and keep

sufficient distance between yourself

and the steering wheel. Only when
you use the safety belt correctly, can it hold
you in a position that allows the airbag to
achieve its optimum effect. See Sitting
in the Correct Position (page 99). Failure
to adhere to this warning could result in
serious personal injury or death.

Repairs to the steering wheel,

steering column, seats, airbags and

safety belts must be carried out by
an authorized dealer. Failure to adhere to
this warning could result in serious
personal injury or death.

Keep the areas in front of the airbags

free from obstruction. Do not affix

anything to or over the airbag covers.
In the event of a crash, hard objects could
cause serious personal injury or death.

Do not puncture the seat with sharp

objects. This could damage and

adversely affect deployment of the
airbags. Failure to adhere to this warning
could result in serious personal injury or
death.

Use seat covers designed for seats

with side airbags. Have these fitted

by an authorized dealer. Failure to
adhere to this warning could result in
serious personal injury or death.

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.

DRIVER AIRBAG

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

MANUAL LIFTGATE

WARNINGS

It is extremely dangerous to ride in a
cargo area, inside or outside of a

vehicle. In a crash, people riding in
these areas are more likely to be seriously
injured or killed. Do not allow people to ride
in any area of your vehicle that is not
equipped with seats and safety belts. Make
sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat
and properly using a safety belt. Failure to
follow this warning could result in serious
personal injury or death.

Make sure to close and latch the

liftgate to prevent drawing exhaust

fumes into your vehicle. This will also
prevent passengers and cargo from falling
out. If you must drive with the liftgate open,
keep the vents or windows open so outside
air comes into your vehicle. Failure to
follow this warning could result in serious
personal injury.

Note: Be careful when opening or closing
the liftgate in a garage or other enclosed
area to avoid damaging the liftgate.

Note: Do not hang anything, for example a
bike rack, from the glass or liftgate. This
could damage the liftgate and its
components.

Note: Do not leave the liftgate open while
driving. This could damage the liftgate and
its components.

Opening the Liftgate

Manually

Press the release button above the license
plate to unlatch the liftgate.

With the Remote Control

Press the button twice within
three seconds.

KEYLESS ENTRY

General Information

The system will not function if:

• Your vehicle battery has no charge.

• The passive key battery has no charge.

• The passive key frequencies are

jammed.

Note: If the system does not function, you
will need to use the key blade to lock and
unlock your vehicle.

The system allows you to operate your
vehicle without the use of a key or remote
control.

Passive locking and unlocking requires a
valid passive key to be located within one
of the three external detection ranges.
These are located approximately five feet
(1.5 meters) from the front door handles
and the liftgate.

Note: The system may not function if the
passive key is close to metal objects or
electronic devices, for example keys or a cell
phone.

Passive Key

Your vehicle can be locked and unlocked
using the passive key. You can also use the
passive key as a remote control to lock and
unlock your vehicle. See Locking and

Unlocking (page 38).

Locking Your Vehicle

Note: Your vehicle does not automatically

lock. If you do not touch a locking sensor
your vehicle will remain unlocked.

Locking buttons are located on each of the
front doors.

For central locking and to arm the alarm,
press a locking button once.

For double locking and to arm the alarm,
press a locking button twice within three
seconds.

Note: When locking your vehicle, do not
grip the door handle.

Note: Keep the door handle surface clean
to make sure the system operates correctly.

Note: Your vehicle will remain locked for
approximately one second. When the delay
period is over, you can open the doors again,
provided the passive key is within the
respective detection range.

Two short flashes of the direction
indicators confirms that all the doors and
the liftgate have been locked and that the
alarm has been armed.

Liftgate

The liftgate cannot be closed and will
reopen if the passive key is located inside
the luggage compartment with the doors
locked.

Note: If a second valid passive key is
located within the liftgate detection range,
the liftgate can be closed.

Unlocking Your Vehicle

Pull an exterior door handle to unlock and
open the door. Do not touch the lock
sensor on the front of the handle.

One long flash of the direction indicators
confirms that all the doors and the liftgate
have been unlocked and that the alarm
has been disarmed.

Note: A valid passive key must be located
within the detection range of that door.

Unlocking Only the Driver's Door

You can program the system so that only
the driver door is unlocked. See Locking
and Unlocking (page 38).

If the unlocking function is reprogrammed
so that only the driver door is unlocked the
following will occur:

• If the driver’s door is the first door
which is opened, the other doors will
remain locked. All the other doors can
be unlocked from inside your vehicle
by pressing the unlock button located
on the driver's and front passenger's
door. Doors can be unlocked
individually by pulling the interior door
handles on those doors.

• If the front passenger's door is the first
door which is opened, all the doors and
the liftgate will be unlocked.

Disabled Keys

Any keys left inside your vehicle interior
when it is locked will be disabled.

You cannot use a disabled key to switch
the ignition on or start the engine.

You must enable all passive keys again in
order to use them. To enable all your
passive keys, unlock your vehicle using a
passive key that has not been disabled or
the remote control unlocking function. All
passive keys will then be enabled if you
switch the ignition on or you start your
vehicle with a valid key.

Note: You can still start your vehicle when
the passive key is in the back-up position.

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 authorized
dealer.

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.

Activating the System

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

75). Turn the switch to the autolamps

position. See Autolamps (page 57).

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

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.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

Outside Air

Keep the air intakes in front of the
windshield free from obstruction (such as
snow or leaves) to allow the climate
control system to function effectively.

Recirculated Air

WARNING

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

for demisting the windshield.

The air currently in the passenger
compartment recirculates. Outside air does
not enter your vehicle.

Heating

Heating performance depends on the
temperature of the engine coolant.

General Information on Controlling
the Interior Climate

Fully close all the windows.

Warming the Interior

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

Cooling the Interior

Direct the air toward your face.

Air Conditioning

The system directs air through the
evaporator for cooling. The evaporator
extracts humidity from the air to help keep
the windows free of mist. The system
directs the resulting condensation to the
outside of your vehicle, which may cause
a small pool to form under your vehicle.
This is normal.

Note: The air conditioning operates only
when the temperature is above 39°F (4°C).

Note: When you use air conditioning, your
vehicle uses more fuel.

AIR VENTS

your vehicle, do not drive with the system
switched off or with recirculated air always
switched on.

Note: Do not place objects under the front
seats as this may interfere with the airflow
to the rear seats.

Note: Remove any snow, ice or leaves from
the air intake area at the base of the
windshield.

Note: To improve air conditioning when
starting your vehicle, drive with the windows
slightly open for two to three minutes.

Manual Climate Control

Note: To reduce fogging of the windshield

during humid weather, adjust the air
distribution control to the windshield air
vents position.

Automatic Climate Control

Note: Do not adjust the settings when your

vehicle interior is extremely hot or cold. The
system automatically adjusts to the
previously stored settings. For the system
to function efficiently, the instrument panel
and side air vents should be fully open.

Note: At low ambient temperatures with
AUTO selected, the air stream is directed
toward the windshield and side windows
for as long as the engine remains cold.

Note: When the system is in AUTO mode,
and the interior and exterior temperatures
are high, the system automatically selects
recirculated air to maximize cooling of the
interior. When the selected air temperature
is reached, the system automatically selects
outside air.

Used correctly the system will:

• Warm the engine and the vehicle
interior.

• Keep the windows clear of ice in the
event of frost and prevent
condensation.

• Avoid cold starts to assist the engine
to reach operating temperature sooner.

Following a heating cycle, if you do not
start the engine the system will not turn
on the next programmed heating cycle.

Following a heating cycle, we recommend
that you drive your vehicle for at least the
same period of time as the heating cycle.
This prevents the vehicle battery from
running out of charge.

The system will only operate if there is a
