2013 FORD FOCUS ELECTRIC warning light

INTERIOR
For fabric, carpets, cloth seats, safety belts and seats equipped with side
airbags:
•Remove dust and loose dirt with a vacuum cleaner.
•Remove light stains and soil with MotorcraftProfessional Strength
Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner (ZC-54).
•If grease or tar is present on the material, spot-clean the area first
with MotorcraftSpot and Stain Remover (ZC-14). In Canada, use
MotorcraftMulti-Purpose Cleaner (CXC-101).
•If a ring forms on the fabric after spot cleaning, clean the entire area
immediately (but do not oversaturate) or the ring will set.
•Do not use household cleaning products or glass cleaners, which can
stain and discolor the fabric and affect the flame retardant abilities of
the seat materials.
WARNING:Do not use cleaning solvents, bleach or dye on the
vehicle’s safety belts, as these actions may weaken the belt
webbing.
WARNING:On vehicles equipped with seat-mounted airbags, do
not use chemical solvents or strong detergents. Such products
could contaminate the side-airbag system and affect performance of the
side airbag in a collision.
LEATHER SEATS (IF EQUIPPED)
•Remove dust and loose dirt with a vacuum cleaner.
•Clean spills and stains as quickly as possible.
•For routine cleaning, wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. For
more thorough cleaning, wipe the surface with a mild soap and water
solution. In Canada, use MotorcraftVinyl Cleaner (CXC-93). Dry the
area with a soft cloth.
•If the leather cannot be completely cleaned using a mild soap and
water solution, the leather may be cleaned using a commercially
available leather cleaning product designed for automotive interiors.
•To check for compatibility, first test any cleaner or stain remover on
an inconspicuous part of the leather.

4. Attach the new blade to the arm and snap it into place. Lower the
wiper arm and blade back to the windshield. The wiper arms will
automatically return to their normal position when the ignition is turned
on.
Replace wiper blades at least once per year for optimum performance.
Poor wiper quality can be improved by cleaning the wiper blades and the
windshield. Refer to theVehicle Carechapter.
To prolong the life of the wiper blades, it is highly recommended to
scrape off the ice on the windshield before turning on the wipers. The
layer of ice has many sharp edges and can damage the micro edge of the
wiper rubber element.
Changing the Rear Window Wiper Blade (If Equipped)
To replace the rear wiper blade:
1. Press the wiper blade against the
glass with one hand and hold it.
2. Pull the wiper arm away from the
wiper blade to separate.
3. To attach the new wiper to the
wiper arm, align the slot (1) and
cross pin (2) and firmly press the
wiper arm into the wiper blade until
a click is heard.
If you find this procedure too difficult, please see your dealer.
LOW-VOLTAGE BATTERY
WARNING:Batteries normally produce explosive gases which
can cause personal injury. Therefore, do not allow flames, sparks
or lighted substances to come near the battery. When working near the
battery, always shield your face and protect your eyes. Always provide
proper ventilation.

To ensure proper operation of the battery management system (BMS),
any electrical devices that are added to the vehicle should not have their
ground connection made directly at the negative battery post. A
connection at the negative battery post can cause inaccurate
measurements of the battery condition and potential incorrect system
operation.
Note:Electrical or electronic accessories or components added to the
vehicle by the dealer or the owner may adversely affect battery
performance and durability and may also affect the performance of other
electrical systems in the vehicle.
When a battery replacement is required, the battery should only be
replaced with a Ford recommended replacement battery that matches
the electrical requirements of the vehicle.
Note:The clock and the preset radio stations must be reset once the
battery is reconnected.
•Always dispose of automotive
batteries in a responsible manner.
Follow your local authorized
standards for disposal. Call your
local authorized recycling center
to find out more about recycling
automotive batteries.
HIGH-VOLTAGE BATTERY
WARNING:This battery pack should only be serviced by an
authorized electric vehicle technician. Improper handling can
result in personal injury or death.
Your vehicle consists of various high-voltage components and wiring. All
of the high-voltage power flows through specific wiring assemblies which
are labeled as such and/or are covered with a solid orange convolute or
orange striped tape. Do not come in contact with these components.
No regular maintenance, other than regular charging is required.
The high-voltage battery system is a high-voltage, lightweight lithium-ion
battery system comprised of two individual packs. One pack is located in
the rear cargo area behind the second row seats, and the other is located

WARNING:In an emergency, add water to the cooling system to
reach an authorized dealer. Have the system checked by a
properly trained technician as soon as possible.
WARNING:To reduce the risk of personal injury, make sure the
Electric Powertrain Assembly (EPA) is cool before unscrewing
the coolant pressure relief cap. The cooling system is under pressure;
steam and hot liquid can come out forcefully when the cap is loosened
slightly.
WARNING:Do not add coolant further than the MAX mark.
Note:Coolant replacement can only be completed by an authorized
dealer. If not performed properly, damage could occur to the cooling
system components and may void the warranty.
Note:Do not use stop leak pellets or cooling system sealants/additives
as they can cause damage to the cooling and/or heating systems. This
damage would not be covered under your vehicle’s warranty.
Note:During normal vehicle operation, the coolant may change color
from orange to pink or light red. As long as the coolant is clear and
uncontaminated, this color change does not indicate the coolant has
degraded nor does it require the coolant to be drained, the system to be
flushed, or the coolant to be replaced.
•DO NOT MIX different colors or types of coolant in your vehicle. Make
sure the correct coolant is used. Mixing of coolants may harm your
cooling system. The use of an improper coolant may harm the Electric
Powertrain Assembly (EPA) and cooling system components and may
void the warranty.
•A large amount of water without coolant may be added, in case of
emergency, to reach a vehicle service location. In this instance, the
cooling system must be drained, chemically cleaned with Motorcraft
Premium Cooling System Flush, and refilled with prediluted coolant as
soon as possible. Water alone (without coolant) can cause damage
from corrosion, overheating, freezing or plugging.
•Do not use alcohol, methanol, brine or any coolants mixed with
alcohol or methanol antifreeze (coolant). Alcohol and other liquids can
cause damage from overheating or freezing.
•Do not add extra inhibitors or additives to the coolant. These can be
harmful and compromise the corrosion protection of the coolant.
