2012 FORD FOCUS ELECTRIC fuel cap

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.

Setting 911 Assist OnPress the information button > Apps > 911 Assist, then select
ON.
You can also access 911 Assist by:
• Pressing the Menu icon > Settings > Phone > 911 Assist, or
• Pressing the Menu icon > Help > 911 Assist.
To Ensure that 911 Assist Works Properly
• SYNC must be powered and working properly at the time of the
incident and throughout feature activation and use.
• SYNC 911 Assist feature must be set on prior to the incident.
• A Bluetooth-enabled and compatible phone has to be paired and
connected to SYNC.
• A connected Bluetooth-enabled phone must have the ability to make
and maintain an outgoing call at the time of the incident.
• A connected Bluetooth-enabled phone must have adequate network
coverage, battery power and signal strength.
• The vehicle must have battery power and be located in the U.S.,
Canada or in a territory in which 911 is the emergency number.
In the Event of a Crash
Not all crashes deploy an airbag or activate the fuel pump shut-off
(which would activate 911 Assist); however, if 911 Assist is triggered,
SYNC tries to contact emergency services. If a connected phone is
damaged or loses connection to SYNC, SYNC searches for, and tries to
connect to, any available previously paired phone and tries to make the
call to 911.
Before making the call:
• SYNC provides a short window of time (about 10 seconds) to cancel
the call. Failure to cancel the call results in SYNC attempting to dial
911.
• SYNC says the following, or a similar message: “SYNC will attempt to
call 911, to cancel the call, press Cancel on your screen or press and
hold the phone button on your steering wheel.”
If the call is not cancelled and a successful call is made, a prerecorded
message is played for the 911 operator, then the occupant(s) in the
vehicle is able to talk with the operator. Be prepared to provide your
name, phone number and location immediately, because not all 911
systems are capable of receiving this information electronically.

911 Assist Privacy Notice
Once 911 Assist is set on, it may disclose to emergency services that the
vehicle has been in a crash involving the deployment of an airbag or
activation of the fuel pump shut-off. Certain versions or updates to 911
Assist may also be capable of electronically or verbally disclosing to 911
operators the vehicle location, and/or other details about the vehicle or
crash to assist 911 operators to provide the most appropriate emergency
services. If you do not want to disclose this information, do not turn the
feature on.
