HINTS ON CONTROLLING THE
INTERIOR CLIMATE
General Hints
Note: Prolonged use of recirculated air may
cause the windows to fog up.
Note: To reduce humidity build-up inside
your vehicle, do not drive with the system
switched off or with recirculated air always
switched on.
Note: Do not place objects under the front
seats as this may interfere with the airflow
to the rear seats.
101
Focus (CDH), enUSA, First Printing Climate ControlE183686

Note:
Remove any snow, ice, or leaves from
the air intake area at the base of the
windshield.
Note: To improve air conditioning when
starting your vehicle, drive with the windows
slightly open for two to three minutes.
Recommended Settings for
Cooling
1. Press the AUTO button.
2. Adjust the temperature control to the desired setting.
Side Window Defogging in Cold
Weather
1. Select air distribution through the floor
vent.
2. Select air distribution through the panel
vent.
3. Select
A/C.
4. Adjust the temperature control to the desired setting.
5. Adjust the outer panel vents toward the side windows.
Note: To increase airflow to the outer panel
vents, close the vents in the middle of the
instrument panel.
Improving Vehicle Drive Range
Your vehicle is equipped with a high
voltage electric compressor and a high
voltage electric heater. You can increase
your driving range by minimizing the
amount of energy expended to cool or heat
the interior during the drive.
Pre-condition the interior temperature
during vehicle charging reduces the battery
energy use on the interior comfort and
improves range.
Note: Your vehicle may not always reach
the set cabin temperature due to charging
and ambient temperature conditions. Hot and cold temperatures make your
vehicle use more energy to achieve and
maintain a comfortable interior
temperature. Park the vehicle in the shade
or in a parking structure when hot, and in
a garage when cold.
Consider partially opening a window (or
windows) to let fresh air circulate, if
weather conditions permit. You can
achieve maximum energy savings by
switching the climate system off. Do this
only if conditions exist for safe vehicle
operation.
Reduce fan speed.
Set the
AUTO temperature a couple
degrees cooler than you normally do on
cold days and a couple degrees higher on
hot days. Use the heated seats on cold
days to increase interior comfort.
Switch the air conditioning off in mild
temperatures or low humidity conditions.
Defrost mode automatically turns the air
conditioning on to dehumidify the air, and
cannot be switched off. If defogging or
defrosting is not necessary, select a
non-defrost mode and disengage air
conditioning to extend vehicle range.
Air conditioning and heating functions are
automatically switched off (unless in
defrost mode) when driving distance to
empty is zero miles (zero km). The interior
fan will continue to operate.
HEATED WINDOWS AND
MIRRORS
Heated Rear Window
Note: Make sure the vehicle is running
before operating the heated windows.
102
Focus (CDH), enUSA, First Printing Climate Control

Press the button to clear the
heated rear window of thin ice
and fog. The heated rear
window will automatically turn off after a
short period of time. Start the vehicle
before you switch the heated rear window
on.
Do not use razor blades or other sharp
objects to clean or remove decals from
the inside of the heated rear window.
The vehicle warranty does not cover
damage caused to the heated rear
window grid lines.
Heated Exterior Mirrors When you switch the heated
rear window on, the heated
exterior mirrors will
automatically turn on.
Note: Do not remove ice from the mirrors
with a scraper or adjust the mirror glass
when it is frozen in place.
Note: Do not clean the mirror housing or
glass with harsh abrasives, fuel or other
petroleum-based cleaning products.
CABIN AIR FILTER
Your vehicle is equipped with a cabin air
filter, which gives you and your passengers
the following benefits:
• It improves your driving comfort by
reducing particle concentration.
• It improves the interior compartment
cleanliness.
• It protects the climate control
components from particle deposits.
Note: Make sure you have a cabin air filter
installed at all times. This prevents foreign
objects from entering the system. Running
the system without a filter in place could
result in degradation or damage to the
system. Replace the filter at regular intervals. See
Scheduled Maintenance (page 347).
For additional cabin air filter information,
or to replace the filter, see an authorized
dealer.
REMOTE START
You can switch this feature on or off and
adjust the settings using the information
display.
The system adjusts the interior
temperature depending on your chosen
settings during remote start.
You cannot adjust the climate control
setting during remote start operation.
When you switch the ignition on the
climate control system returns to the
previous settings.
When you switch the ignition on, you may
have to switch the following features back
on:
• Heated seats.
• Heated rear window.
• Heated exterior mirrors.
Note: You can control the system through
SYNC using an applicable phone app. See
your phones user manual or visit

SITTING IN THE CORRECT
POSITION
WARNINGS
Do not recline the seat backrest too
far as this can cause the occupant
to slide under the safety belt,
resulting in serious injury in the event of a
crash. Sitting improperly, out of position or
with the seat backrest reclined too
far, can result in serious injury or
death in the event of a crash. Always sit
upright against your seat backrest, with
your feet on the floor. Do not place objects higher than the
seat backrest to reduce the risk of
serious injury in the event of a crash
or during heavy braking. When you use them properly, the seat,
head restraint, safety belt and airbags will
provide optimum protection in the event
of a crash.
We recommend that you follow these
guidelines:
•
Sit in an upright position with the base
of your spine as far back as possible.
• Do not recline the seat backrest more
than 30 degrees. •
Adjust the head restraint so that the
top of it is level with the top of your
head and as far forward as possible.
Make sure that you remain
comfortable.
• Keep sufficient distance between
yourself and the steering wheel. We
recommend a minimum of 10 inches
(25 centimeters) between your
breastbone and the airbag cover.
• Hold the steering wheel with your arms
slightly bent.
• Bend your legs slightly so that you can
press the pedals fully.
• Position the shoulder strap of the
safety belt over the center of your
shoulder and position the lap strap
tightly across your hips.
Make sure that your driving position is
comfortable and that you can maintain full
control of your vehicle.
HEAD RESTRAINTS WARNINGS
To minimize the risk of neck injury in
the event of a crash, the driver and
passenger occupants should not sit
in or operate the vehicle, until the head
restraint is placed in its proper position.
The driver should never adjust the head
restraint while the vehicle is in motion. The adjustable head restraint is a
safety device. Whenever possible, it
should be installed and properly
adjusted when the seat is occupied. Failure
to adjust the head restraint properly could
reduce its effectiveness during certain
impacts. Install the head restraint properly to
help minimize the risk of neck injury
in the event of a crash.
104
Focus (CDH), enUSA, First Printing SeatsE68595

Note:

driving position before adjusting the head
restraint. Adjust the head restraint so that
the top of it is level with the top of your head
and as far forward as possible. Make sure
that you remain comfortable. If you are
extremely tall, adjust the head restraint to
its highest position.
