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:

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
and let it retract completely and smoothly
to its stowed position.

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.

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.
