light FORD FOCUS ELECTRIC 2013 3.G Owners Manual

Note:Your electrical source must meet certain requirements for the
high-voltage battery to charge. The AC outlet must be a three-prong
110-120 volt AC outlet that is properly grounded, 15–20 amps (or
greater), and in good condition. The line also must be dedicated, which
means that no other appliances should be connected to the same circuit.
If a dedicated circuit is not used, the circuit breaker could trip or open.
If a dedicated circuit is not available, contact a licensed professional
electrician for proper installation.
Note:The vehicle must be in (P) park to charge the high-voltage
battery.
Make sure that the 120 volt
convenience cord is completely
unwound before charging. Always
plug the cord into the AC outlet
before connecting the charging
coupler into the vehicle’s charge
port receptacle. The 120 volt
convenience cord inline control box
has three indicator lights that
represent the charging status;
power, charge and fault.
The charge port is located between the front left side door and front left
wheel well. There is an indentation located on the charge port door that
allows you to press to open and press to close the door.
Power (green light) — this indicator lights up when the cord is plugged
into the AC wall outlet.
Charge (green light) — Indicates status of charging:
•No light means the cord is not connected to the vehicle.
•Blinking light means that the charging is in process.
•Solid light means that the vehicle is connected but not charging.
Fault (red triangle light) — Lights up in case of a detected failure. No
charging is possible:
•Blinking red triangle light – means that the 120 volt convenience cord
is trying to reset the failure and could restart the charging cycle.
•Solid red triangle light – means that the fault is permanent. The cord
needs to be unplugged and re-plugged to reset the fault. If the fault
persists, contact your authorized dealer.

Charge Port and Light Ring
Note:Do not force the charge port door open or closed. Forcing the
door open or closed will damage the charge port.
The light ring located around the charge port indicates the charge status
of your battery while connected to a charge station or convenience cord.
The charge port light ring is divided into four quadrants that inform you
of the charge status.
There is a cord acknowledgement feature that will be activated when a
charge cycle is initiated. The four light quadrants will each individually
flash clockwise starting with the top right light and ending with the top
left, two full times confirming a charging coupler has been detected.
You can use your keyfob to view the vehicles charge status at any time
by pressing the unlock button. The light ring will light up the
corresponding quadrant(s) so that the current state of the vehicles
charge can be determined. If the charge is below 25 percent the light
ring will not illuminate. Don’t forget to press the lock button on your
keyfob to re-lock the vehicle.
Different sequences of the light ring will represent the status of the
charge.

Charging
Note:The vehicle must be in (P)
Park to charge.
To charge your high-voltage battery:
1. Put the vehicle in (P) park and
power down the vehicle.
2. Press the indentation located on
the charge port door and the door
will rotate open.
3. Plug the charging coupler into the vehicles charge port receptacle and
make sure the button “clicks” confirming that it is completely engaged.
4. Verify that the cord acknowledgement feature activates. This indicates
the beginning of a normal charge cycle.
5. If using a 240 volt charging station, follow the instructions on the
charge station to begin the charging process.
When charging, the light ring will display how far along the charge is:
•When the top right quadrant is pulsing the charge is between
0–25 percent.
•When the top right quadrant is solidly lit and the bottom right
quadrant is pulsing the charge is between 25–50 percent.
•When both right side quadrants are solidly lit and the bottom left
quadrant is pulsing the charge is between 50–75 percent.
•When three quadrants are solidly lit and the top left quadrant is
pulsing the charge is between 75–100 percent.
•When the entire ring is solidly lit, the charge is complete.
Note:The illuminated ring will shut off one minute after reaching a full
charge.
Note:If a vehicle charging system fault is detected at any point in a
charge cycle the entire light ring will flash continuously for one minute
and then shut off. If this happens unplug, and then re-plug the charging
coupler into the charge port receptacle. If the problem persists contact
your authorized dealer.

WARNING:In an emergency, add water to the cooling system to
reach an authorized dealer. Have the system checked by a
properly trained technician as soon as possible.
WARNING:To reduce the risk of personal injury, make sure the
Electric Powertrain Assembly (EPA) is cool before unscrewing
the coolant pressure relief cap. The cooling system is under pressure;
steam and hot liquid can come out forcefully when the cap is loosened
slightly.
WARNING:Do not add coolant further than the MAX mark.
Note:Coolant replacement can only be completed by an authorized
dealer. If not performed properly, damage could occur to the cooling
system components and may void the warranty.
Note:Do not use stop leak pellets or cooling system sealants/additives
as they can cause damage to the cooling and/or heating systems. This
damage would not be covered under your vehicle’s warranty.
Note:During normal vehicle operation, the coolant may change color
from orange to pink or light red. As long as the coolant is clear and
uncontaminated, this color change does not indicate the coolant has
degraded nor does it require the coolant to be drained, the system to be
flushed, or the coolant to be replaced.
•DO NOT MIX different colors or types of coolant in your vehicle. Make
sure the correct coolant is used. Mixing of coolants may harm your
cooling system. The use of an improper coolant may harm the Electric
Powertrain Assembly (EPA) and cooling system components and may
void the warranty.
•A large amount of water without coolant may be added, in case of
emergency, to reach a vehicle service location. In this instance, the
cooling system must be drained, chemically cleaned with Motorcraft
Premium Cooling System Flush, and refilled with prediluted coolant as
soon as possible. Water alone (without coolant) can cause damage
from corrosion, overheating, freezing or plugging.
•Do not use alcohol, methanol, brine or any coolants mixed with
alcohol or methanol antifreeze (coolant). Alcohol and other liquids can
cause damage from overheating or freezing.
•Do not add extra inhibitors or additives to the coolant. These can be
harmful and compromise the corrosion protection of the coolant.
