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. Special handling may apply for service or vehicle end of life
disposal. See www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate for more
information.

Breaking-in your vehicle

Your vehicle does not need an extensive break-in. Try not to drive
continuously at the same speed for the first 1,000 miles (1,600 km) of
new vehicle operation. Vary your speed frequently in order to give the
moving parts a chance to break in.

Electric Vehicle Operation

This electric vehicle operates entirely from electricity stored in the on-board
high voltage battery pack. There is no internal combustion engine as in a
typical vehicle or hybrid electric vehicle, which leads to unique operating
characteristics. Familiarizing yourself with these unique characteristics will
help ensure optimal performance from your new vehicle.

Normal vehicle operation

Starting: The vehicle is equipped with a Passive Entry, Passive Start
(PEPS) system. The key fob must be inside the vehicle in order to start
the vehicle. Press the start button while your vehicle is in P (Park) with
your foot on the brake pedal. The startup sequence will display on the
cluster and 8 inch center stack screen and the green ready to drive
indicator light will appear in the instrument cluster, letting you know
that the vehicle is ready for driving.

Driving: The electric vehicle driver controls operate the same as a
traditional automobile and the vehicle is designed to be driven in the full
range of traffic and weather conditions. You will likely notice the lack of
sound when driving the electric vehicle which is due to the lack of an
internal combustion engine.

2012 Focus Electric Vehicle (fob)
Owners Guide gf, 1st Printing
USA (fus)

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. L (Low gear) will produce a higher
level of regenerative braking when your foot is off the accelerator pedal.
This is normal and will not damage your vehicle.

Reverse: R (Reverse gear)

Unique electric operating characteristics

Your electric vehicle, with its new technology, behaves differently
compared to a conventional vehicle or hybrid. Here is a description of
the major differences:

Battery: The best battery performance and life comes when the high
voltage battery is at a moderate temperature. The high voltage battery is
heated and cooled by a liquid cooling loop. The high voltage battery
consists of two packs one located under the rear seat and the second
located behind the rear seat in the trunk of the vehicle.

Plugging In: The electric vehicle must be plugged in to recharge the high
voltage battery. The vehicle is equipped with a high voltage charge port on
the front left hand fender for charging. The vehicle comes standard with a
120V convenience cord set which is located in the trunk. This can be
plugged into any standard electric outlet and will fully charge the high
voltage battery in about 18-20 hours. Ford has partnered with Best Buy to
offer a 240V Leviton charger that is capable of fully charging the battery in
3 to 4 hours. The charge port door is designed for convenient “push-push”
opening and closing. Press on the door in the location of the indentation to
open the door. To close the door, press in the same location until the door
has rotated back into position and clicked into place. To charge the vehicle,
open the charge port door and plug the charging coupler into the charge
port receptacle. You will know the connection has been made when the
charge port light ring illuminates the quadrants individually. The light ring
will then display battery state of charge in 25% increments.

Braking: Your electric vehicle is equipped with standard hydraulic
braking and regenerative braking. Regenerative braking is performed by
your transmission and it captures brake energy and stores it in your high
voltage battery. This system greatly improves driving range especially in
stop and go city traffic.

8 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. In general, better range is achieved with
mild to moderate acceleration and deceleration. Also, this vehicle has the
longest range when driving at slower speeds. When practical, driving on
surface streets instead of high speed highways will increase range. Mild
to moderate braking is particularly important since it allows you to
maximize the energy captured by the regenerative braking system.

Additional Tips:

• Do not carry extra loads

• Be mindful of adding external accessories that may increase

aerodynamic drag

• Observe posted speed limits

• Perform all scheduled maintenance

•

Pre-conditioning the vehicle cabin while it is on plug will reduce the
energy expenditure on climate control and improve range. Refer to High
voltage battery in the Maintenance and Specifications chapter.

Introduction 11

SPECIAL NOTICES
New Vehicle Limited Warranty

For a detailed description of what is covered and what is not covered by
your vehicle’s New Vehicle Limited Warranty, refer to the Warranty
Manual that is provided to you along with your Owner’s Manual.

Special Instructions

For your added safety, your vehicle is fitted with sophisticated electronic
controls.

WARNING: Please read the Supplementary Restraints System
chapter. Failure to follow the specific warnings and instructions

could result in personal injury.

WARNING: Front seat mounted rear-facing child or infant seats
should NEVER be placed in front of an active passenger airbag.

DATA RECORDING
Service Data Recording

Service data recorders in your vehicle are capable of collecting and
storing diagnostic information about your vehicle. This potentially
includes information about the performance or status of various systems
and modules in the vehicle, such as engine, throttle, steering or brake
systems. In order to properly diagnose and service your vehicle, Ford
Motor Company, Ford of Canada, and service and repair facilities may
access or share among them vehicle diagnostic information received
through a direct connection to your vehicle when diagnosing or servicing
your vehicle. For U.S. only (if equipped), if you choose to use the SYNC威
Vehicle Health Report, you consent that certain diagnostic information
may also be accessed electronically by Ford Motor Company and Ford
authorized service facilities, and that the diagnostic information may be
used for any purpose. See your SYNC威 supplement for more information.

Event Data Recording

This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The
main purpose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near
crash-like situations, such as an airbag deployment or hitting a
road obstacle; this data will assist in understanding how a
vehicle’s systems performed. The EDR is designed to record data

2012 Focus Electric Vehicle (fob)
Owners Guide gf, 1st Printing
USA (fus)

12 Introduction

related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period
of time, typically 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle is
designed to record such data as:

• How various systems in your vehicle were operating;

• Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were

buckled/fastened;

• How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator
and/or the brake pedal; and

• How fast the vehicle was travelling; and

• Where the driver was positioning the steering wheel.

This data can help provide a better understanding of the
circumstances in which crashes and injuries occur.

Note: EDR data is recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial
crash situation occurs; no data is recorded by the EDR under
normal driving conditions and no personal data or information
(e.g., name, gender, age, and crash location) is recorded (see
limitations regarding 911 Assist and Traffic, directions and
Information privacy below). However, parties, such as law
enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type of
personally identifying data routinely acquired during a crash
investigation.

To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required,
and access to the vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the
vehicle manufacturer, other parties, such as law enforcement,
that have such special equipment, can read the information if
they have access to the vehicle or the EDR. Ford Motor Company
and Ford of Canada do not access event data recorder
information without obtaining consent, unless pursuant to court
order or where required by law enforcement, other government
authorities or other third parties acting with lawful authority.
Other parties may seek to access the information independently
of Ford Motor Company and Ford of Canada.

Note: Including to the extent that any law pertaining to Event
Data Recorders applies to SYNC威 or its features, please note the
following: Once 911 Assist (if equipped) is enabled (set ON), 911
Assist may, through any paired and connected cell phone, disclose
to emergency services that the vehicle has been in a crash
involving the deployment of an airbag or, in certain vehicles, the
activation of the fuel pump shut-off. Certain versions or updates

2012 Focus Electric Vehicle (fob)
Owners Guide gf, 1st Printing
USA (fus)

Introduction 13

to 911 Assist may also be capable of being used to electronically
or verbally provide to 911 operators the vehicle location (such as
latitude and longitude), and/or other details about the vehicle or
crash or personal information about the occupants to assist 911
operators to provide the most appropriate emergency services. If
you do not want to disclose this information, do not activate the
911 Assist feature. See your SYNC威 chapter for more
information.

Additionally, when you connect to Traffic, Directions and
Information (if equipped, U.S. only), the service uses GPS
technology and advanced vehicle sensors to collect the vehicle’s
current location, travel direction, and speed (“vehicle travel
information”), only to help provide you with the directions,
traffic reports, or business searches that you request. If you do
not want Ford or its vendors to receive this information, do not
activate the service. Ford Motor Company and the vendors it uses
to provide you with this information do not store your vehicle
travel information. For more information, see Traffic, Directions
and Information, Terms and Conditions. See your SYNC威
supplement for more information.

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.

• Budget Text View: contains basic information to help you reach your
next charging destination or to achieve your vehicle range estimate.

Charge pt: is the distance remaining to the next charge point you
identified using the Navigation system.

Surplus: is the available range beyond your identified charge point
(current Range Estimate shown on Battery Gauge minus Charge pt
distance).

If you don’t enter a charge point, you will see:
Budget: is set to the Range Estimate at the point of departure. This

will count down with the odometer.
Status: is your performance against your Budget (current Range

Estimate shown on Battery Gauge minus Budget distance). A positive
Status indicates you are using less energy than typical and have
extended your Range Estimate by the distance shown.

• Budget view: helps you manage your energy use.

Your current Energy Use is the white line that moves up and down in
the Budget Gauge. A higher line means you are using more energy
(lower is better). Your energy use includes input from the accelerator
pedal as well as the accessories, such as Climate Control.

The Budget is shown by the blue cup shape around the Budget Gauge.
As long as your current Energy Use is within the cup, you are staying
within your budget. Your Budget represents the maximum energy
usage you can maintain in order to achieve your vehicle range
estimate, or reach your intended charge point. Driving for extended
periods outside of the Budget Cup reduces your budget and could put
you at risk of not reaching your intended charge point.

• Range view: shows your range relative to your charge point as well as
performance to your budget.

A blue charge point icon means you have a Surplus. If an E appears to
the left of an amber charge point icon, then you are projected to run
out of charge prior to reaching your charge point.

Current performance to your budget is represented by the glow of the car
icon: more Blue = better performance to budget, more Amber = worse.

The optional Surplus Graphic displays available range beyond your
charge point.

If you didn’t enter your charge point through the Navigation system,
your budget will be set to the range estimate at the start of your trip.
The gauge will show your estimated distance to E (empty) along with
your current performance to budget. The optional Surplus Graphic is
not available in this case.

for the five intervals is shown at the bottom of the view. Interval time
can be selected in the Options menu. Intervals shown in grey color are
from the previous drive.

• Energy Coach: This view provides a comparison of your recent
Acceleration, Braking and Cruising behavior to what is recommended
for most efficient use of energy under present conditions. The
horizontal bars fill from left to right with best efficiency (and Blue
color) shown as at least half full. When the bars are less than half full,
the color is Amber, suggesting that a change in behavior is needed to

GENERAL AUDIO INFORMATION
Radio Frequencies

AM and FM frequencies are established by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) and the Canadian Radio and Telecommunications
Commission (CRTC). Those frequencies are:

AM: 530, 540–1700, 1710 kHz

FM: 87.9–107.7, 107.9 MHz

Radio Reception Factors

There are four factors that can affect radio reception:

• Distance/strength: The further you travel from an FM station, the
weaker the signal and the weaker the reception.

• Terrain: Hills, mountains, tall buildings, power lines, electric fences,
traffic lights and thunderstorms can interfere with your reception.

• Station overload: When you pass a broadcast tower, a stronger signal
may overtake a weaker one and play while the weak station frequency
is displayed.

• Electric motor noise: AM reception is affected by static and tones
created by the electric motor in your plug-in/hybrid vehicle. These
noises are inherent to the technology used on this vehicle and cannot
be mitigated by your Ford dealer. The noise becomes more or less
significant depending upon the other factors listed here for reception.

CD/CD Player Information

Do:

• Handle discs by their edges only.

• Inspect discs before playing.

• Clean only with an approved CD

surface).

cleaner.

44 Entertainment Systems

• Wipe discs from the center out.

Don’t:

• Expose discs to direct sunlight or heat sources for extended periods
of time.

• Clean using a circular motion.

CD units are designed to play commercially pressed 4.75 in
(12 cm) audio compact discs only. Due to technical
incompatibility, certain recordable and re-recordable compact
discs may not function correctly when used in Ford CD players.

Do not use any irregular shaped
CDs or discs with a scratch
protection film attached.

CDs with homemade paper
(adhesive) labels should not be
inserted into the CD player as
the label may peel and cause the
CD to become jammed. It is
recommended that homemade
CDs be identified with

permanent felt tip marker rather
than adhesive labels. Ballpoint pens may damage CDs. Please
contact your authorized dealer for further information.

Audio System Warranty and Service

Refer to the Warranty Guide/Customer Information Guide for audio
system warranty information. If service is necessary, see your dealer or
qualified technician.

Satellite Radio Information (If Equipped)

Satellite Radio Channels

SIRIUS威 broadcasts a variety of music, news, sports, weather, traffic and
entertainment satellite radio channels. For more information and a
complete list of SIRIUS威 satellite radio channels, visit www.sirius.com in
the United States, www.siriuscanada.ca in Canada, or call SIRIUS威 at
1–888–539–7474.

Satellite Radio Reception Factors

To receive the satellite signal, your vehicle has been equipped with a
satellite radio antenna located on the roof of your vehicle. The vehicle
roof provides the best location for an unobstructed, open view of the sky,
a requirement of a satellite radio system. Like AM/FM, there are several
factors that can affect satellite radio reception performance:

• Antenna obstructions: For optimal reception performance, keep the
antenna clear of snow and ice build-up and keep luggage and other
material as far away from the antenna as possible.

• Terrain: Hills, mountains, tall buildings, bridges, tunnels, freeway
overpasses, parking garages, dense tree foliage and thunderstorms can
interfere with your reception.

• Station overload: When you pass a ground based broadcast repeating
tower, a stronger signal may overtake a weaker one and result in an
audio mute.

Unlike AM/FM audible static, you will hear an audio mute when there is
satellite radio signal interference. Your radio display may display NO
SIGNAL to indicate the interference.

SIRIUS姞 Satellite Radio Service

Note: SIRIUS威 reserves the unrestricted right to change, rearrange, add or
delete programming including canceling, moving or adding particular
channels, and its prices, at any time, with or without notice to you. Ford
Motor Company shall not be responsible for any such programming changes.

SIRIUS威 satellite radio is a subscription based satellite radio service that
broadcasts music, sports, news and entertainment programming. A
service fee is required in order to receive SIRIUS威 service. Vehicles that
are equipped with a factory installed SIRIUS威 satellite radio system
include hardware and a limited subscription term, which begins on the
date of sale or lease of the vehicle.

For information on extended subscription terms, the online media player
and other SIRIUS威 features, please contact SIRIUS威 at 1–888–539–7474.

handheld device while driving, encourage the use of voice-operated
systems when possible and that you become aware of applicable state
and local laws that may affect use of electronic devices while driving.

Note: Some features are not available while the vehicle is moving.
This system uses a four-corner strategy to provide quick access to

vehicle features and settings. The comprehensive touchscreen provides
easy interaction with your cellular phone, multimedia, climate control
and navigation system. The corners display any active modes within
those menus, such as your phone being connected or the climate
temperature.

just touch the graphic with your finger. To get the best performance
from the touch-sensitive controls:

• Do not press hard on the controls. They are sensitive to light touch.

• Use your bare finger to touch the center of a touch-control graphic.

Touching off-center of the graphic may cause a nearby control to turn
on or off.

• Make sure your hands are clean and dry.

• Since the touchscreen operates based on the touch of a finger, you

may have trouble using it if you are wearing gloves.

• Metal and other conductive material should be kept away from the

surface of the touchscreen as this may cause electronic interference
(i.e. control activation).

Depending on your vehicle and option package, you may also have these
controls on your bezel:

• Power: Turn the media (or climate features) on or off.

Privacy Information

When a cellular phone is connected to SYNC, the system creates a
profile within your vehicle that is linked to that cellular phone. This
profile is created in order to offer you more cellular features and to
operate more efficiently. Among other things, this profile may contain
data about your cellular phone book, text messages (read and unread),
and call history, including history of calls when your cell phone was not
connected to the system. In addition, if you connect a media device, the
system creates and retains an index of supported media content. The
system also records a short development log of approximately
10 minutes of all recent system activity. The log profile and other system
data may be used to improve the system and help diagnose any problems
that may occur.

The cellular profile, media device index, and development log will remain
in the vehicle unless you delete it and are generally accessible only in
the vehicle when the cellular phone or media player is connected. If you
no longer plan to use the system or the vehicle, we recommend you
perform a Master Reset to erase all stored information.

System data cannot be accessed without special equipment and access to
the vehicle’s SYNC module. Ford Motor Company and Ford of Canada
will not access the system data for any purpose other than as described
absent consent, a court order, or where required by law enforcement,
other government authorities, or other third parties acting with lawful
authority. Other parties may seek to access the information
independently of Ford Motor Company and Ford of Canada. For further
privacy information, see the sections on 911 Assist™ (if equipped),
Vehicle Health Report (if equipped), and Traffic, Directions and
Information (if equipped).

ACCESSING AND ADJUSTING MODES THROUGH YOUR INFOTAINMENT DISPLAY

A

The infotainment display (A) is located on the right side of your
instrument cluster. It allows you to view and make minor adjustments to
active modes without taking your hands off the wheel. For example:

• In entertainment mode, you can view what is now playing, change the
audio source, select presets and make some adjustments.

• In phone mode, you can accept or reject an incoming call.

• In navigation mode (if equipped), you can view the current route or

activate a route.

• In surplus mode, surplus (or status) is represented by either
butterflies or a gauge. The number of butterflies matches the current
surplus or status distance up to a maximum of sixteen butterflies. The
more efficiently you drive, the more butterflies (or higher status)
display, and vice versa. See Message center in the Instrument Cluster
chapter for more information.

When you enter or turn off the vehicle, you have the opportunity to view
charging status, charge start and end times as well as the charging mode.
You can also switch your charging mode between Value Charge and
Charge Now. See Convenience charging with MyFord mobile in the
High Voltage Battery chapter.

USING VOICE RECOGNITION

This system helps you control many features using voice commands. This
allows you to keep your hands on the wheel and focus on what is in
front of you. The system provides feedback through audible tones,
prompts, questions and spoken confirmations depending on the situation
and the chosen level of interaction (voice settings).

The system also asks short questions (confirmation prompts) when it is
not sure of your request or when there are multiple possible responses
to your request.

When using voice commands, words and icons may also appear in the
lower left status bar indicating the status of the voice session (i.e.,
listening, success, failed, paused or try again).

How to Use Voice Commands with Your System

Press the voice icon; after the tone, speak your command
clearly.

These commands can be said at any time

“Cancel”

“Exit”

“Go back”

“List of commands”

“Main menu”

“Next page”

Voice Settings

Voice settings allow you to customize the level of system interaction,
help and feedback. The system defaults to standard interaction which
uses candidate lists and confirmation prompts as these provide the
highest level of guidance and feedback.

Interaction Mode: Novice mode provides more detailed interaction and
guidance while the advanced mode has less audible interaction and more
tone prompts.

Confirmation Prompts: Confirmation prompts are short questions the
system asks when it is not sure of your request or when there are
multiple possible responses to your request. If turned off, the system
simply makes a best guess as to what you requested and you may still
occasionally be asked to confirm settings.

Phone/Media Candidate Lists: Candidate lists are a list of possible
results from your voice commands. The system creates these lists when
it has the same confidence level of several options based on your voice
command.

To access these settings using the touchscreen:

1. Press the Menu icon > Settings > Voice Control.

2. Select from:

• Interaction Mode

• Confirmation Prompts

• Media Candidate Lists

• Phone Candidate Lists

• Voice Control Volume

To access these settings using voice commands:

Press the voice icon; after the tone sounds, the system says
“Please say a command”. Another tone sounds to let you know
the system is listening.

Using Voice Commands with the Touchscreen Options

Your voice system has a dual mode feature which allows you to switch
between using voice commands and making on-screen selections. This is
most often available when using navigation.

On-screen buttons are outlined in blue to indicate the selections that are
part of the dual mode feature. For example, if while you are in a voice
session rather than saying the command “Enter Street Name” to change
the field, you can press “Street” and the voice session does not end.
Instead, the voice system changes to the Street field and asks you to say

2012 Focus Electric Vehicle (fob)
Owners Guide gf, 1st Printing

the street name. The buttons not outlined in blue cannot be used as
voice commands; if they are touched during a voice session, the voice
session is canceled. For example:

From the Navigation home screen, you can choose from the following:

• My Home

• Favorites

• Previous Destinations

• Point of Interest (POI)

HD Radio姞 Information (If Available)

Note: HD Radio broadcasts are not available in all markets.
HD Radio technology is the digital evolution of analog AM/FM radio. Your

system has a special receiver which allows it to receive digital broadcasts
(where available) in addition to the analog broadcasts it already receives.
Digital broadcasts provide a better sound quality than analog broadcasts
with free, crystal clear audio and no static or distortion. For more
information, and a guide to available stations and programming, please
visit www.hdradio.com.

When this feature is enabled and you are tuned to a station broadcasting
HD Radio technology, you may notice the following indicators on your
screen:

HD) logo blinks when a digital station is being acquired and is
solid when digital audio is playing. When this logo is available,
you may also see Title and Artist fields on-screen.

Multicast indicator appears in FM mode (only) if the current station is
broadcasting multiple digital broadcasts. The numbers that are
highlighted signify available digital channels where new or different
content is available. HD1 signifies the main programming status and is
available in analog and digital broadcasts. Any additional multicast
stations (HD2 through HD7) are only broadcast digitally.

TAG allows you to save a song to download later. When you are on an
acquired HD Radio station, the TAG button is available (provided the
feature has been turned on). To use the tag feature:

1. Press AM or FM > Options > TAG On.

2. When you hear a song you like, touch TAG.

3. The system automatically saves the song’s information and transfers
it to your portable music player (if supported) when it is connected
to the system. If your music player is connected at the time, the
system automatically transfers the tag to your player and a pop-up
confirms the transfer.

4. When you access iTunes威 with your portable music player, the tags
appear to you to be reminded of the song. The system allows you to
tag up to approximately 100 songs. For a list of devices that support
tagging, refer to www.SYNCMyRide.com or www.syncmaroute.ca.

When HD Radio broadcasts are active, you can access the following
functions:

When you select: You can:

Scan Hear a brief sampling of all available stations.

This feature still works when HD Radio
reception is activated, although it does not
scan for HD2 through HD7 channels. You may
see the HD logo appear if the station has a
digital broadcast.

Seek Hear the next strong radio station.

If the current station has multiple digital
broadcasts, the multicast indicator appears.
Press Seek repeatedly to advance through all
available broadcasts. If you are on the last
multicast channel, press Seek to advance to
the next strong station.

Tune Go up and down the frequency in individual

increments.
If the current station has multiple digital
broadcasts, the multicast indicator appears.
Press Tune repeatedly to advance through all
available broadcasts. If you are on the last
broadcast channel, turn to advance to the
next frequency on the band.

To save a multicast
station as a preset

When the channel is active on-screen, press
and hold a memory preset slot on the right of
the screen until the sound returns. There is a
brief mute, then the sound returns signifying
it was saved. When recalling a HD2 or HD3
memory preset, there is a mute before the
digital audio is played as the system must
once again acquire the digital signal.
As with any saved radio station, you cannot
access the saved station if your vehicle is
outside the station’s reception area.

HD Radio Reception and Station Troubleshooting

Potential reception issues

Reception area If you are listening to a multicast station and

you are on the fringe of the reception area,
the station may mute due to weak signal
strength.
If you are listening to HD1, the system
switches back to the analog broadcast until
the digital broadcast is available again.
However, if you are listening to any of the
possible HD2 through HD7 multicast
channels, the station mutes and stay muted
unless it is able to connect to the digital
signal again.

Station blending When a station is first received (aside from

HD2 through HD7 multicast stations), the
system first plays the station in the analog
version and then, if receiver verifies the
station is an HD Radio station, it shifts to the
digital version. Depending on the station
quality, you may hear a slight sound change
when the station changes from analog to
digital. This shift from analog to digital sound
or digital back to analog, is known as
“blending”.

In order to provide the best possible experience, a contact form has been
developed to report any station issues found while listening to a station
broadcasting with HD Radio technology. Every station is independently
owned and operated. These stations are responsible for ensuring all
audio streams and data fields are accurate. See the following chart for
potential station issues.

You can also use the A/V inputs as an auxiliary input jack (AIJ) to play

music from your portable music player over your vehicle’s speakers. Plug
in your 1/8 in. (3.5 mm) RCA adapter into the two left A/V input jacks
(red and white).

Press the lower left corner of the touchscreen, then, select A/V inputs.
To use the auxiliary input jack feature, make sure that your portable

music player is designed to be used with headphones and that it is fully
charged. You also need an audio extension cable with stereo male 1/8 in.
(3.5 mm) connectors at one end and a RCA jack at the other.

1. Begin with the vehicle parked and the radio and portable device are

turned off.

2. Attach one end of the audio extension cable to the headphone output

of your player and the other end into the adaptor in one of the two
left A/V input jacks (white or red) inside the center console.

3. Press the lower left corner on the touchscreen. Select either a tuned

station from the FM tab or the CD tab (if there is a CD already
loaded into the system.) Adjust the volume to a comfortable listening
level.

5. Press the lower left corner on the touchscreen. Select the A/V in tab.
(You should hear audio from your portable music player although it
may be low.)

6. Adjust the sound on your portable music player until it reaches the
level of the FM station or CD by switching back and forth between
the controls.

In order to playback video from your iPod威 or iPhone威 (if compatible),
you must have a special combination USB/RCA composite video cable
(available for purchase from Apple威). When the cable is connected to
your iPod威 or iPhone威, plug the other end into both the RCA jacks and
the USB port.

Note: For safety reasons, connecting or adjusting the settings on your
portable music player should not be attempted while the vehicle is
moving. Also, the portable music player should be stored in a secure
location, such as the center console or the glove box, when the vehicle is
in motion. The audio extension cable must be long enough to allow the
portable music player to be safely stored while the vehicle is in motion.

Troubleshooting

• Do not connect the audio input jack to a line level output. The AIJ

only works correctly with devices that have a headphone output with
a volume control.

• Do not set the portable music player’s volume level higher than is

necessary to match the volume of the CD or FM radio as this causes
distortion and reduces sound quality.

• If the music sounds distorted at lower listening levels, turn the

portable music player volume down. If the problems persists, replace
or recharge the batteries in the portable music player.

• The portable music player must be controlled in the same manner

when it is used with headphones as the AIJ does not provide control
(play, pause, etc.) over the attached portable music player.

you would be placed in an unsafe situation, or if you would be directed
into an area that you consider unsafe. Maps used by this system may be
inaccurate because of errors, changes in roads, traffic conditions or
driving conditions.

Note: When you connect, the service uses GPS technology and advanced
vehicle sensors to collect the vehicle’s current location, travel direction
and speed to help provide you with the directions, traffic reports, or
business searches you request. Further, to provide the services you
request and for continuous improvement, the service may collect and
record call details and voice communications. For more information, see
SYNC Services Terms and Conditions at www.SYNCMyRide.com. If you

911 Assist姞 (If Equipped)

WARNING: Unless the 911 Assist setting is set on prior to a

crash, the system will not dial for help which could delay
response time, potentially increasing the risk of serious injury or death
after a crash.

WARNING: Do not wait for 911 Assist to make an emergency

call if you can do it yourself. Dial emergency services
immediately to avoid delayed response time which could increase the
risk of serious injury or death after a crash. If you do not hear 911
Assist within five seconds of the crash, the system or phone may be
damaged or non-functional.

WARNING: Always place your phone in a secure location in the

vehicle so it does not become a projectile or get damaged in a
collision. Failure to do so may cause serious injury to someone or damage
the phone which could prevent 911 Assist from working properly.

Note: SYNC 911 Assist feature must be set on prior to the incident.

Note: Before setting this feature on, ensure that you read the 911 Assist

privacy notice later in this section for important information.
Note: If 911 Assist is turned on or off by any user, that setting applies

for all paired phones. If 911 Assist is turned off, a voice message plays
and/or a display message/icon comes on when the vehicle is started after
a previously paired phone connects.

Note: Every phone operates differently. While SYNC 911 Assist works
with most cellular phones, some may have trouble using this feature.

If a crash deploys an airbag or activates the fuel pump shut-off, your
SYNC-equipped vehicle may be able to contact emergency services by
dialing 911 through a paired and connected Bluetooth-enabled phone.
For more information about 911 Assist, visit www.SYNCMyRide.com or
www.syncmaroute.ca.

• For information on airbag deployment, refer to the Supplementary
Restraints System chapter.

• For information on the fuel pump shut-off, refer to the Roadside
Emergencies chapter.

Setting 911 Assist On

Press the information button > Apps > 911 Assist, then select
ON.

You can also access 911 Assist by:

• Pressing the Menu icon > Settings > Phone > 911 Assist, or

• Pressing the Menu icon > Help > 911 Assist.

To Ensure that 911 Assist Works Properly

• SYNC must be powered and working properly at the time of the
incident and throughout feature activation and use.

• SYNC 911 Assist feature must be set on prior to the incident.

• A Bluetooth-enabled and compatible phone has to be paired and

connected to SYNC.

• A connected Bluetooth-enabled phone must have the ability to make
and maintain an outgoing call at the time of the incident.

• A connected Bluetooth-enabled phone must have adequate network
coverage, battery power and signal strength.

• The vehicle must have battery power and be located in the U.S.,
Canada or in a territory in which 911 is the emergency number.

In the Event of a Crash

Not all crashes deploy an airbag or activate the fuel pump shut-off
(which would activate 911 Assist); however, if 911 Assist is triggered,
SYNC tries to contact emergency services. If a connected phone is
damaged or loses connection to SYNC, SYNC searches for, and tries to
connect to, any available previously paired phone and tries to make the
call to 911.

Before making the call:

• SYNC provides a short window of time (about 10 seconds) to cancel

the call. Failure to cancel the call results in SYNC attempting to dial

911.

• SYNC says the following, or a similar message: “SYNC will attempt to

call 911, to cancel the call, press Cancel on your screen or press and
hold the phone button on your steering wheel.”

If the call is not cancelled and a successful call is made, a prerecorded
message is played for the 911 operator, then the occupant(s) in the
vehicle is able to talk with the operator. Be prepared to provide your
name, phone number and location immediately, because not all 911
systems are capable of receiving this information electronically.

2012 Focus Electric Vehicle (fob)
Owners Guide gf, 1st Printing

MyFord Touch姞 99

911 Assist May Not Work If

• Your cellular phone or 911 Assist hardware was damaged in a crash.

• The vehicle’s battery or SYNC system has no power.

• The phone(s) paired and connected to the system was thrown from

the vehicle.

911 Assist Privacy Notice

Once 911 Assist is set on, it may disclose to emergency services that the
vehicle has been in a crash involving the deployment of an airbag or
activation of the fuel pump shut-off. Certain versions or updates to 911
Assist may also be capable of electronically or verbally disclosing to 911
operators the vehicle location, and/or other details about the vehicle or
crash to assist 911 operators to provide the most appropriate emergency
services. If you do not want to disclose this information, do not turn the
feature on.
