2012 FORD FOCUS ELECTRIC wheel

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.

HIGH-VOLTAGE SERVICE DISCONNECT
The high-voltage service disconnect shuts off power from the
high-voltage battery.
Disabling the High-Voltage Battery
Note:There are two disconnect circuits in your vehicle. Disconnecting
one circuit will automatically disable the high-voltage battery.
To disable the high-voltage battery and stop all high-voltage electric
activity in the vehicle you can access one or both of the two high-voltage
disconnect circuits. To do this, you must unplug one of the circuits from
the circuit ports connected to the battery.
The lower battery high-voltage disconnect circuit is located by the right
rear wheel, accessible from under the car.
The upper battery high-voltage disconnect circuit is located behind the
rear fold-down seats near the left side of the vehicle, and is more easily
accessible than the lower battery circuit. To access this circuit:
1. Fold down the left rear seat.
2. Locate the access door. Press the
button on the top of the access
door to remove the plastic cover.
3. A cut out area will be visible
which allows your hand access to
the circuit.
4. Press the tab on the top center of
the circuit and rotate the handle
toward you. Press again to pull the
hand down.
5. Pull the handle toward you and remove the circuit from the vehicle to
disable the high-voltage battery.
Reactivating the High-Voltage Battery
Note: If you have manually disconnected your high-voltage shutoff
circuits you will need to reconnect the circuits before they can be
reactivated. The vehicle will detect if the electrical system is safe and
reactivate automatically.
