PRODUCT HISTORY
The Ford Special Vehicle Team (SVT) was
established in 1991 to polish the Ford Oval
by creating low-volume, factory-produced
vehicles designed for those select few
whose idea of driving is a high-powered,
passionate experience – not just a means
of getting from point A to point B.
In a move to support this spirited
enthusiasm, Ford Motor Company carefully
integrated the wide array of talent in the
company into a small, cross-functional
group of engineers and product planners,
housed together under one roof with a
common mission: to create vehicles
specifically designed to meet the unique
needs and desires of the knowledgeable
driving enthusiast.
More than 250000 SVT vehicles have
been produced since the 1993 model year.
These include the SVT Mustang Cobra and
the Cobra R, the SVT F-150 Lightning, the
SVT Contour, the SVT Focus, Ford GT,
Shelby GT500, GT500KR and the F-150
SVT Raptor.
Team RS History
Team RS traces its roots back nearly 60
years from the Lotus Ford Cortina and Twin
Cam Escorts of the mid 1960’s, through
the first RS branded Escorts of the 1970’s
to the founding of Special Vehicle
Engineering (SVE) in 1980. Through the
1980s and 90s, SVE delivered a breadth
of vehicles from exciting XR and RS
branded road going performance cars
through homologation specials such as
the iconic Sierra Cosworth RS500. The first
ST (Sport Technology) vehicle appeared
in 1996 as the ST24 Mondeo. The first
collaboration between Ford’s European
and North American performance teams
appeared in 2002 as the ST170 in Europe
and SVT Focus in North America. In 2003,
Team RS replaced SVE in Europe as
performance car and motorsport personnel
were brought together as one team. Team
RS subsequently created the 2004 Fiesta
ST, 2005 Focus ST, 2009 Focus RS, 2013
Focus ST and 2014 Fiesta ST.
Ford Performance
SVT and Team RS officially began working
together as one team in 2009. In 2015,
these two teams, along with Ford Racing,
were formally combined, establishing Ford
Performance as a single team. Ford
Performance is responsible for all
performance- and racing-oriented
products and activities worldwide at Ford
Motor Company. This Focus represents the
best of what Ford Performance has to offer
from around the globe. Your vehicle has
been designed and developed with the four
hallmarks of Ford Performance in mind:
Performance, Substance, Exclusivity and
Value. We are proud and passionate about
what we do, and we are glad you have
made us your choice.

Oil Temperature Gauge
Indicates the temperature of the engine
oil.
If it enters the red section, the engine is
overheating. Reduce engine speed as soon
as safely possible to allow the engine to
cool. If the engine continues to be driven
at high engine speeds with the needle in
the red section, the engine speed reduces
automatically to prevent engine damage.
Turbocharger Boost Gauge
Indicates the added intake pressure
provided by the turbocharger.
Oil Pressure Gauge
Indicates engine oil pressure.
During normal driving, the indicated oil
pressure varies with engine speed, the
pressure rising as engine speed rises and
dropping as engine speed drops.
If the engine oil pressure drops below the
normal range, the oil pressure gauge
pointer drops into the red section of the
gauge scale and the engine oil pressure
warning lamp in the main instrument
cluster illuminates. Stop the vehicle as
soon as safely possible and switch off the
engine immediately. Check the oil level and
add oil if needed.

MANUAL TRANSMISSION
E144954
Using the Clutch
Note: During each shift, you must fully press
the clutch pedal to the floor and fully
release the accelerator. Failure to follow
this may cause increased shift efforts,
prematurely wear transmission
components, or cause gear clash or damage
to the transmission. Make sure you properly
position the floor mat so it does not interfere
with the full extension of the clutch pedal.
Note: If you attempt to shift when the drive
wheels are spinning with a loss of traction,
it is possible to cause damage to the
transmission. Do not attempt to shift when
the drive wheels do not have traction.
Note: Do not drive with your foot resting on
the clutch pedal or use the clutch pedal to
hold your vehicle at a standstill while
waiting on a hill. These actions will reduce
the life of the clutch.
Your vehicle has a twin disc clutch. Due to
the high performance of the powertrain, a
certain amount of noise from the
transmission is normal.
The manual transmission has a starter
interlock that prevents cranking the engine
unless you fully press the clutch pedal.
To start the vehicle:
1. Make sure the parking brake is fully set.
2. Press the clutch pedal to the floor, then
put the transmission in neutral (N).
3. Start the engine, then press the brake
pedal and release the parking brake.
4. Move the transmission to position 1 ,
then slowly release the clutch pedal
while slowly pressing on the
accelerator.
5. To reverse, lift up on the reverse
lockout ring found under the shift knob
and move the transmission fully to the
left and forward.
Recommended Shift Speeds for
Maximum Fuel Economy
When accelerating, upshift according to
the following chart:
Shift from:
15 mph (24 km/h)1-2
25 mph (40 km/h)2-3
40 mph (64 km/h)3-4
45 mph (72 km/h)4-5
50 mph (80 km/h)5-6
Operating at High Speeds
Your ST vehicle is capable of high speeds
and has tires rated for the vehicle’s
maximum speed. Remember to drive
safely, obey all traffic laws and only
operate your ST vehicle at high speeds at
locations equipped and designed to do so
safely.

Focus (CDH) ST, Canada/Mexico/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing
Transmission
Page 15
Before operating your vehicle at high
speeds:
• Verify correct tire pressures. See Tires
(page 20).
• Inspect wheels and tires for wear and
damage. Replace any wheels or tires
that have damage.
• Do not operate your vehicle at high
speeds with more than two passengers
or while carrying cargo.

USING STABILITY CONTROL
The AdvanceTrac® system includes
traction control and electronic stability
control. See the Traction Control and
Stability Control chapters of the Owner's
Manual for more information.
Never switch off stability control or select
sport mode when an emergency wheel or
compact wheel is fitted as spare wheel.
E194298
AdvanceTrac® provides three modes of
operation specially calibrated for the Focus
ST. These are controlled through the
AdvanceTrac® button on the center
console.

Stability Control
Page 17
Enhanced Torque Vectoring
Control
Enhanced torque vectoring control is
comprised of two elements:
• Torque vectoring control, which applies
brake torque on the inner wheel in a
curve for better traction and less
understeer.
• Cornering understeer control which
controls the yaw response of the
vehicle under braking and acceleration
on high and low friction surfaces.
Unlike electronic stability control,
enhanced torque vectoring control does
not slow the vehicle. It helps control
excessive wheel slip and gives the vehicle
cornering agility. The system only increases
performance. Because of this, the system
does not disable enhanced torque
vectoring control when the AdvanceTrac®
system is off.

Stability Control
Page 18
ENGINE OVERSPEED
Note: Always wait until the engine is
properly warmed up before running high
engine speeds.
Your vehicle has an over-rev feature to
increase the performance range. The
standard maximum engine speed of 6500
RPM is indicated by a narrow red line on
the tachometer face. The red line becomes
thicker at the over-rev engine speed of
6800 RPM.
This feature allows three seconds of
over-rev above 6500 RPM. Once the three
second limit has been reached, the
electronically controlled rev limit ramps
down to 6500 RPM and holds there. Once
the engine speed has dropped below 6300
RPM, the over-rev timer is reset and three
seconds of over-rev up to a maximum of
6800 RPM is enabled.
Do not operate the engine at high RPM and
low load for sustained periods of time, as
damage may occur.
ENGINE OVERBOOST
Your vehicle offers a period of additional
torque delivery referred to as overboost or
overtorque. This feature of the engine
calibration broadens the RPM range of the
peak torque curve. This gives improved
performance during maneuvers such as
passing and vehicle launch.
Note: The overboost feature controls a
variety of engine parameters to deliver
additional torque. Overboost is built into the
engine calibration on your vehicle and no
action is required by the driver to engage.

As standard, your ST vehicle is equipped
with low profile, high performance tires
that are designed to optimize the driving
dynamics you expect in a ST vehicle. These
tires are not optimized for off-road or
winter (snow or cold weather)
performance, and the ride, noise and wear
characteristics are different than
non-performance tires. Also, because of
their lower profile, the tires are more
susceptible to damage due to potholes
and rough roads. To make sure that your
tires perform as intended, it is important
that you maintain your tires properly:
Note: Do not use tire chains on the original
wheels and tires of your vehicle. The use of
any type of tire chain on these tires may
damage your vehicle.
• Do not overload your vehicle. Maximum
vehicle and axle weights are listed on
the tire information placard.
• Take extra caution when operating the
vehicle near its maximum load,
including assuring proper tire pressure
and reducing speeds.
• Take extra caution when operating on
rough roads to avoid impacts that
could cause tire damage.
• If you encounter an abnormally harsh
impact, inspect your tires for damage.
• Inspect your tires for damage on a
regular basis. If a tire is damaged,
replace it immediately.
• Proper suspension alignment is critical
for maximum performance and
optimal tire wear. If you notice uneven
tire wear, have your alignment checked.
• When replacing tires, the only way to
maintain original performance is to use
the original equipment tire. If a different
summer tire is used, it should be the
same size, speed rating and load rating
as the originally equipped tire. Replace
tires as a set of four. Never mix tire
brands or models.
Tire Pressure
Note: You may need to remove the spare
wheel from the spare wheel well to check
the tire pressure.
• For tire pressures, see the placard
located on the B-pillar inside the
driver's door.
• Always maintain your tire pressures
according to the tire information
placard on the driver's door jamb, using
an accurate gauge.
20
Focus (CDH) ST, Canada/Mexico/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing
Wheels and Tires
Page 24
• Tire pressures are specified cold. Check
them after the vehicle has been parked
for at least three hours. Do not reduce
pressure of warm tires.
• Check your tire pressure often to
maintain it properly. Tire pressure can
diminish over time and fluctuate with
temperature.
Optional All-Season Tires
Your Focus ST may come equipped with
an optional All-Season performance tire.
This choice will provide the benefit of four
season mobility without requiring the
installation of winter tires. It is important
to realize that ultimate summer
performance will be reduced relative to
the standard equipment summer only tire.
Additionally, ultimate winter traction and
control will be less than a dedicated winter
tire would provide. If you drive during the
winter months in areas with heavy snowfall
and/or hilly terrain, you may wish to install
a dedicated winter tire if ultimate traction
and control are desired.
USING WINTER TIRES
The standard equipment tires on your ST
vehicle are designed for maximum
performance in dry and wet summer
conditions. They are not designed for
winter use on ice or snow and you cannot
use them with snow chains. Ford does not
recommend using the original equipment
tires when temperatures drop to
approximately 41°F (5°C) or below
(depending on tire wear and environmental
conditions) or in snow and ice conditions.
You must use winter or all-season tires if
you will be operating your vehicle in these
conditions.
• Even with clear, dry driving conditions
do not operate your vehicle above
posted speed limits or perform high
speed maneuvers with winter tires.
• Do not use tire chains on the original
wheels and tires of your vehicle. The
use of any type of tire chain on these
tires may damage your vehicle.
The following table lists acceptable tire
sizes for winter tires. Tire speed and load
ratings should match those of the originally
equipped tires as closely as possible. If it
is required to fit winter tires with a speed
rating less than the original equipment tires
(to fit snow chains, for example), be aware
of the maximum speed rating for the tire
and never exceed.

Your ST vehicle is equipped with unique wheels matched to the tires. These wheels are
more susceptible to damage due to their diameter, width and low profile tires. To avoid
damage to your wheels:
• Maintain proper tire pressure.
• Exercise caution when using automated, commercial car washes. Hand washing or
using touchless commercial car washes without mechanical tracks is the best way
to avoid potential damage.
• When installing wheels, always torque lug nuts to specification with a torque wrench.
• Inspect your wheels for damage on a regular basis. If a wheel is damaged, replace it
immediately.
• If you encounter an abnormally harsh impact, inspect the outer diameter of your
wheels, both inside and out, for damage.

Your ST vehicle is equipped with a full-size, dissimilar spare tire assembly. Although the
spare is a traditional, full size tire (as opposed to a mini-spare), it is different in both size
and handling characteristics from the standard Focus ST performance tire. If you need
to install the spare tire, you must adhere to the following precautions:
• Because of the different performance characteristics of the spare tire, avoid aggressive
steering, braking, acceleration or high speeds when you install the spare tire.
• Never enable electronic stability control sport mode or fully disable electronic stability
control when you install the spare tire.
• Replace the spare tire with the correct original equipment specified tire as soon as
possible.
The table lists the specifications for the full size spare tire and wheel assembly. Tire speed

We recommend Motorcraft replacement parts available at your Ford dealer or at
fordparts.com for scheduled maintenance. These parts meet or exceed Ford Motor
Company’s specifications and are engineered for your vehicle. Use of other parts may
impact vehicle performance, emissions and durability. Your warranty may be void for any
damage related to use of other parts.
If a Motorcraft oil filter is not available, use an oil filter that meets industry performance
specification SAE/USCAR-36.
For spark plug replacement, contact an authorized dealer. Replace the spark plugs at the
appropriate intervals.

If you use oil and fluids that do not meet
the defined specification and viscosity
grades this may lead to:
• Component damage which may not be
covered by the vehicle Warranty.
• Longer engine cranking periods.
• Increased emission levels.
• Reduced engine performance.
• Reduced fuel economy.
• Degraded brake performance.
We recommend Motorcraft motor oil for
your vehicle. If Motorcraft oil is not
available, use motor oils of the
recommended viscosity grade that meet
API SN requirements and display the API
Certification Mark for gasoline engines. Do
not use oil labeled with API SN service
category unless the label also displays the
API certification mark.
E142732
An oil that displays this symbol conforms
to current engine, emission system and
fuel economy performance standards of
the International Lubricants Specification
Advisory Council (ILSAC).
Do not use supplemental engine oil
additives because they are unnecessary
and could lead to engine damage that may
not be covered by your vehicle warranty.

Note: Ford recommends using DOT 4 Low
Viscosity (LV) High Performance Brake Fluid
or equivalent meeting WSS-M6C65-A2. Use
of any fluid other than the recommended
fluid may cause degraded brake
performance and not meet the Ford
performance standards. Keep brake fluid
clean and dry. Contamination with dirt,
water, petroleum products or other
materials may result in brake system
damage and possible failure.

BASE WARRANTY
The Focus ST carries the same warranty
as other Ford Focus models. This
information is covered in its entirety in the
warranty information.
You can obtain warranty service for your
ST vehicle or any ST vehicle at any Ford
dealer nationwide.
Ford Global Performance does not
recommend modifying or racing ST, SVT
or RS vehicles, as they are designed and
built to be driven as delivered from the
factory. The warranty information
discusses vehicle usage and the
installation of aftermarket parts and their
effect on warranty coverage.
In the event the vehicle is intended for track
use, and the loss of warranty coverage is
not of concern, the following vehicle
durability actions are required:
• Perform multi-point inspection and the
maintenance outlined in the
150,000 mi (240,000 km) normal
maintenance schedule of the
scheduled maintenance before and
after track use. See the vehicle service
manual for removal and installation
procedures.
• Replace with Genuine Ford and
Motorcraft service parts as needed.
These actions may not necessarily protect
your vehicle from damage in competition
conditions. Subjecting your vehicle to
competition conditions even with this
recommended action may render repairs
non-reimbursable under the warranty.
