2012 FORD FOCUS ELECTRIC ECO mode

Stopping:The vehicle is equipped with a regenerative braking system.
Slowing the vehicle adds charge to the high voltage battery which
improves vehicle range.
Transmission Operation: This electric vehicle is equipped with a single
speed transmission. Torque is delivered to the wheels seamlessly without
shifting associated with a normal automatic transmission.
Neutral: N (Neutral gear)
Low: L (Low gear) is designed to mimic the enhanced engine braking
available in conventional vehicles. L (Low gear) will produce a higher
level of regenerative braking when your foot is off the accelerator pedal.
This is normal and will not damage your vehicle.
Reverse: R (Reverse gear)
Unique electric operating characteristics
Your electric vehicle, with its new technology, behaves differently
compared to a conventional vehicle or hybrid. Here is a description of
the major differences:
Battery: The best battery performance and life comes when the high
voltage battery is at a moderate temperature. The high voltage battery is
heated and cooled by a liquid cooling loop. The high voltage battery
consists of two packs one located under the rear seat and the second
located behind the rear seat in the trunk of the vehicle.
Plugging In: The electric vehicle must be plugged in to recharge the high
voltage battery. The vehicle is equipped with a high voltage charge port on
the front left hand fender for charging. The vehicle comes standard with a
120V convenience cord set which is located in the trunk. This can be
plugged into any standard electric outlet and will fully charge the high
voltage battery in about 18-20 hours. Ford has partnered with Best Buy to
offer a 240V Leviton charger that is capable of fully charging the battery in
3 to 4 hours. The charge port door is designed for convenient “push-push”
opening and closing. Press on the door in the location of the indentation to
open the door. To close the door, press in the same location until the door
has rotated back into position and clicked into place. To charge the vehicle,
open the charge port door and plug the charging coupler into the charge
port receptacle. You will know the connection has been made when the
charge port light ring illuminates the quadrants individually. The light ring
will then display battery state of charge in 25% increments.
Braking: Your electric vehicle is equipped with standard hydraulic
braking and regenerative braking. Regenerative braking is performed by
your transmission and it captures brake energy and stores it in your high
voltage battery. This system greatly improves driving range especially in
stop and go city traffic.

Driving to optimize range between charges
Your range should improve throughout your electric vehicle’s break-in
period. Range, like fuel economy in a standard vehicle, can be
significantly impacted by your driving habits and accessory usage. For
best results, keep in mind these tips:
Tire Inflation:Keep tires properly inflated and only use recommended
size.
Drive Habits: Aggressive driving increases the amount of energy
required to move your vehicle. In general, better range is achieved with
mild to moderate acceleration and deceleration. Also, this vehicle has the
longest range when driving at slower speeds. When practical, driving on
surface streets instead of high speed highways will increase range. Mild
to moderate braking is particularly important since it allows you to
maximize the energy captured by the regenerative braking system.
Additional Tips:
• Do not carry extra loads
• Be mindful of adding external accessories that may increase
aerodynamic drag
• Observe posted speed limits
• Perform all scheduled maintenance
•
Pre-conditioning the vehicle cabin while it is on plug will reduce the
energy expenditure on climate control and improve range. Refer to High
voltage battery in theMaintenance and Specifications chapter.

• Energy History: This view from left to right starts with the Budget
View gauge and adds historical Energy Use and Budget data. The data
is represented as an average for time intervals of either 1, 2 or
6 minutes, with the leftmost interval being the most recent. Total time
for the five intervals is shown at the bottom of the view. Interval time
can be selected in the Options menu. Intervals shown in grey color are
from the previous drive.
• Energy Coach: This view provides a comparison of your recent
Acceleration, Braking and Cruising behavior to what is recommended
for most efficient use of energy under present conditions. The
horizontal bars fill from left to right with best efficiency (and Blue
color) shown as at least half full. When the bars are less than half full,
the color is Amber, suggesting that a change in behavior is needed to
achieve better energy efficiency.

Hands-free calling is one of the main features of SYNC. Once your
phone is paired, you can access many options using the touchscreen or
voice commands. While the system supports a variety of features, many
are dependent on your cellular phone’s functionality. At a minimum, most
cellular phones with Bluetooth wireless technology support the following
functions:
• Answering an incoming call
• Ending a call
• Using privacy mode
• Dial a number
• Redial
• Call waiting notification
• Caller ID
• Phonebook/Caller ID photos
Other features such as text messaging using Bluetooth and automatic
phonebook download are phone-dependent features. To check your
phone’s compatibility, refer to your phone’s user manual and visit
www.SYNCMyRide.com or www.syncmaroute.ca.
