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. MyView
You can choose what to display in this
view. Selecting Change MyView in the
options menu allows you to scroll through
two columns of content choices.
• Press the up or down arrow to view
content.
• Press
OK to save your selected
content.
Unique content available in MyView:
• Accessory Power - Indicates electrical
power demands from your vehicle ’s
accessory systems. Accessories use
power but do not contribute to
propelling your vehicle. The gauge
separately displays power demand in
kilowatts (kW) for climate and other
accessories. Climate includes the
power being used by high voltage
climate control components such as
the electric A/C compressor and the
electric heater. Other includes all
power being used by the low voltage
accessories (cabin fans, headlights,
heated seats, etc.).
• Budget + Avg - The white pointers on
the outside of the budget gauge
indicate your average watt hours per
mi (km) since you last charged your
vehicle. Immediately after charging the
white pointers will start out at the top
of the gauge, as you begin driving they
will reflect your average energy use.
Note: The trip data cannot be reset in
MyView.
Trip 1 and 2 Use the arrow buttons to choose
between the following.

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.

2018 Focus (CDH) Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV), Canada/United States of America, JM5J 19A321 RA enUSA, Edition date: 201706, 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.
Note: 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 (If Equipped) 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. It is located behind the center
console.
The particulate filtration system reduces
the concentration of airborne particles
such as dust, spores and pollen in the air
supplied to the interior of your vehicle.
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. The particulate filtration system 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.
Replace the filter at regular intervals. See
Scheduled Maintenance (page 320).
For additional cabin air filter information,
or to replace the filter, see an authorized
dealer.
REMOTE START
The climate control system adjusts the
cabin temperature during remote start.
You cannot adjust the system during
remote start operation. Switch on the
ignition to return the system to its previous
settings. You can now make adjustments.
You need to switch on certain
vehicle-dependent features, such as:
• Heated mirrors.
• Heated rear window.
You can adjust the settings using the
information display controls. See
Information Displays
(page 80).
Note: You can control the system through
SYNC using a smartphone app. See
Apps
(page 288).
Automatic Settings
You can set the climate control to operate
in AUTO mode through the information
display setting: Remote Start > Climate
Control > Heater-A/C > Auto. The climate
control system automatically sets the
interior temperature to
72°F (22°C).
