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.

Frequently asked questions
QuestionAnswer
What are the series of clicks from
the cargo area when I first start
my vehicle? The high voltage battery is
electrically isolated from the rest
of the vehicle when the key is off.
When the key is turned to on, high
voltage contactors inside the
battery are closed to make the
electricity available to the motor
and enable the vehicle to drive.
The clicks are the sound of these
contactors as they close and open
during start up and shut down.
How long will my high voltage
battery last? Does it need
maintenance? The high voltage battery in the
Focus Electric is maintenance free
and has been designed to last the
life of the vehicle.
Can I flat tow my Focus Electric? Your vehicle should only be flat towed in emergency situations and
never above 35 mph. Long
distance towing should be carried
out with front wheels off the
ground.
How can I get a 240 volt charging
station installed at my home? Ford and Best Buy have teamed
up to offer a charging installation.
Your Ford dealer will set up an
inspection visit by Best Buy, who
performs the evaluation and
arranges for installation.

Common Displays
Note:Some features can be switched on and off through the message
center.
Battery Gauge: The high voltage battery gauge appears on the right
side of the message center screen. This provides State of Charge, Range
Estimate and Regen Display.
• State of Charge - The state of charge for the high voltage battery is
shown as a colored fill. The fill color is normally blue. When a low
battery condition is reached the fill turns amber. When the battery is
depleted the fill turns red. See the Information Messages section for
details on associated Low Battery and Depleted Battery warnings.
• Distance to Empty - The Range Estimate in the Battery Gauge is
personalized to the driver’s key. This is the estimated distance the
vehicle will travel before needing a recharge. The Range Estimate is
based on your typical energy usage while driving. This includes your
Drive Habits as well as your use of accessories such as Climate
Control. Your Range Estimate may change immediately when you
change your Climate Control settings.

•Regen Display - A circular arrow symbol appears in the center of the
Battery Gauge when energy is being recaptured through the
regenerative braking system.
Brake Coach Display: The Brake Coach appears after the vehicle has
come to a stop. It coaches you to brake in a manner which maximizes
the amount of energy returned through the regenerative braking system.
By maximizing the use of regenerative braking, you minimize the energy
used up by the hydraulic brakes.
Note: Under certain conditions the actual amount of energy returned to
the high voltage battery will be less than the percentage shown.
Trip Summary and Lifetime Summary: These will be displayed upon
shutting off the vehicle. Trip Summary will appear first, then Lifetime
Summary will be displayed. You can toggle between these displays using
the up and down arrow keys on the left hand steering wheel controls.
Trip Summary data is from the last power cycle, while Lifetime Summary
data is cumulative from the last Lifetime Summary reset done through
the Settings menu in the message center.
Trip Summary:
• Distance - The total distance travelled, and regen distance are
displayed. Regen distance is the estimated range gained from energy
recaptured through regenerative braking.
• Energy Used - The total kilowatt hours and average watt hours per
unit of distance are displayed. The average watt hours per mi (km)
will be shown in blue if less than (better than) the lifetime average
watt hours per mi (km).
• Brake Score - The percentage of braking energy recaptured and
returned to the high voltage battery through regenerative braking. The
brake score will be shown in blue if greater than (better than) the
lifetime brake score.
Lifetime Summary:
• Distance - The total regen distance, which is the estimated range
gained from energy recaptured through regenerative braking.
• Energy Used - The total kilowatt hours.
• Brake Score - The average percentage of braking energy recaptured
and returned to the high voltage battery through regenerative braking.
