MANUAL 6-SPEED TRANSMISSION OPERATION
Using the Clutch
Note:During each shift, the clutch pedal must be fully pressed to the
floor and the accelerator fully released. Failure to follow this may cause
increased shift efforts, prematurely wear transmission components, or
cause gear clash or damage to the transmission. Make sure the floor mat
is properly positioned so it doesn’t interfere with the full extension of the
clutch pedal.
Note:If you attempt to shift when the drive wheels are spinning with a
loss of traction, it is possible to cause damage to the transmission. Do
not attempt to shift when the drive wheels do not have traction.
Note:Do not drive with your foot resting on the clutch pedal or use the
clutch pedal to hold your vehicle at a standstill while waiting on a hill.
These actions will reduce the life of the clutch.
Your vehicle is equipped with a twin disc clutch. Due to the high
performance of the powertrain, a certain amount of noise from the
transmission is normal.
The manual transmission has a starter interlock that prevents cranking
the engine unless the clutch pedal is fully pressed.
To start the vehicle:
1. Make sure the parking brake is fully set.
2. Press the clutch pedal to the floor, then put the transmission selector
lever in positionN.
3. Start the engine, then press the brake pedal and release the parking
brake.

ENHANCED TORQUE VECTORING CONTROL
Enhanced torque vectoring control (eTVC) is comprised of two elements:
•Torque vectoring control which applies brake torque on the inner
wheel in a curve for better traction and less understeer
•Cornering understeer control which controls the yaw response of the
vehicle under braking and acceleration on high and low friction
surfaces.
Unlike ESC, eTVC control does not slow the vehicle but does help
control excessive wheel slip and gives the vehicle cornering agility. The
system only increases performance. Because of this, eTVC is not disabled
when the AdvanceTracsystem is off.
ENGINE OVER-REV
Note:Always wait until the engine is properly warmed up before
running high engine speeds.
Your vehicle is equipped with an over-rev feature to increase the
performance range of your Focus ST. The standard maximum engine
speed of 6500 rpm is indicated by a narrow redline on the tachometer
face. The redline becomes thicker at the over-rev engine speed of
6800 rpm.
This feature allows three seconds of over-rev above 6500 rpm. Once the
three second limit has been reached, the electronically controlled rev
limit ramps down to 6500 rpm and holds there. Once engine speed has
dropped below 6300 rpm, the over-rev timer is reset and three seconds
of over-rev up to a maximum of 6800 rpm is enabled.
Do not operate the engine at high rpm and low load for sustained
periods of time, as damage may occur.
OVERBOOST
The Focus ST offers a period of additional torque delivery referred to as
overboost or overtorque. This feature of the engine calibration broadens
the RPM range of the peak torque curve. This gives improved
performance during maneuvers such as passing and vehicle launch.
Note:The overboost feature controls a variety of engine parameters to
deliver additional torque. Overboost is built into the engine calibration on
the Focus ST and no action is required by the driver to engage.

Your ST vehicle is equipped with unique wheels matched to the tires.
These wheels are more susceptible to damage due to their diameter,
width and low profile tires. To avoid damage to your wheels:
•Maintain proper tire pressure.
•Exercise caution when using automated, commercial car washes. Hand
washing or using touchless commercial car washes without mechanical
tracks is the best way to avoid potential damage.
•When installing wheels, always torque lug nuts to specification with a
torque wrench.
•Inspect your wheels for damage on a regular basis. If a wheel is
damaged, replace it immediately.
•In the event that you encounter an abnormally harsh impact, inspect
the outer diameter of your wheels, both inside and out, for damage.
WHEEL LUG NUT TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS
WARNING:When a wheel is installed, always remove any
corrosion, dirt or foreign materials present on the mounting
surfaces of the wheel or the surface of the wheel hub, brake drum or
brake disc that contacts the wheel. Make sure that any fasteners that
attach the rotor to the hub are secured so they do not interfere with
the mounting surfaces of the wheel. Installing wheels without correct
metal-to-metal contact at the wheel mounting surfaces can cause the
wheel nuts to loosen and the wheel to come off while the vehicle is in
motion, resulting in loss of control.

CHECKING THE ENGINE OIL
Refer to thescheduled maintenance informationfor the appropriate
intervals for checking the engine oil.
1. Make sure the vehicle is on level ground.
2. Turn the engine off and wait 15 minutes for the oil to drain into the
oil pan.
Note:The oil dipstick on the Focus ST is integrated into the oil drain
back system. The oil reading on the dipstick will be influenced by oil
draining back into the sump from the cylinder head if the oil level is
checked without waiting 15 minutes after shutdown.
3. Set the parking brake and make sure the transmission selector lever is
securely latched in first gear.
4. Open the hood. Protect yourself from engine heat.

cause brake system damage.2Use of synthetic or synthetic blend motor oil is not mandatory. Engine oil need only meet the
requirements of Ford specification WSS-M2C946-A, SAE 5W-30 and display the API Certification
Mark. Your engine has been designed to be used with Ford engine oil, which gives a fuel
economy benefit while maintaining the durability of your engine. Using oils other than the one
specified can result in longer engine cranking periods, reduced engine performance, reduced fuel
economy and increased emission levels.3Add the coolant type originally equipped in your vehicle.
