HINTS ON CONTROLLING THE INTERIOR CLIMATE
•To reduce fog build-up on the windshield during humid
weather, select defrost.
•To reduce humidity build-up inside the vehicle, avoid driving with the
system switched off unless you can open a window to help circulate
fresh air.
•Do not put objects under the front seats that will interfere with the
airflow to the back seats.
•Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air intake area at the base of
the windshield.
•To improve the air conditioning cool down, drive with the windows
open for approximately 2–3 minutes after starting the vehicle or until
the vehicle has “aired out.”
•The air conditioning system cools both the interior of the vehicle and
the high voltage battery. In hot outside temperatures, the interior
temperature may temporarily increase if the high voltage battery
requires cooling. Keep the vehicle plugged in (when possible) to
allow automatic battery cooling in high temperature conditions.
•An electrical heater warms the interior. Set the fan at a lower speed to
get a warmer outlet temperature on cold days.
•You may feel a small amount of air from the floor vent regardless of
the air distribution setting.
Maximum Cooling Performance
PressMAX A/C.The system defaults to single zone operation and the
coldest temperature setting.LOappears in the display. Air conditioning
and recirculated air are on and fan speed increases to the highest speed.

Side Window Defogging or Defrosting
1. Select air distribution through the floor vent.
2. Select air distribution through the panel vent.
3. SelectA/C.
4. Adjust the temperature control to maintain comfort.
5. Set the fan to the highest speed.
6. Direct the outer instrument panel vents toward the side windows.
To increase airflow to the outer instrument panel vents, close the vents
located in the middle of the instrument panel.
Improving Vehicle Drive Range
Your vehicle is equipped with a high voltage electric compressor and a
high voltage electric heater. You can increase your driving range by
minimizing the amount of energy expended to cool or heat the interior
during the drive.
•Pre-condition the interior temperature during vehicle charging
reduces the battery energy use on the interior comfort and improves
range. SeeConvenience charging with MyFord mobilein the
Charging Your High Voltage Batterychapter.Note:Your vehicle
may not always reach the set cabin temperature due to charging and
ambient temperature conditions.
•Hot and cold temperatures make your vehicle use more energy to
achieve and maintain a comfortable interior temperature. Park the
vehicle in the shade or in a parking structure when hot, and in a
garage when cold.
•Consider partially opening a window (or windows) to let fresh air
circulate, if weather conditions permit. You can achieve maximum
energy savings by switching the climate system off. Do this only if
conditions exist for safe vehicle operation.
•Reduce fan speed.
•Set the AUTO temperature a couple degrees cooler than you normally
do on cold days and a couple degrees higher on hot days. Use the
heated seats on cold days to increase interior comfort.
•Switch the air conditioning off in mild temperatures or low humidity
conditions.

•Defrost mode automatically turns the air conditioning on to
dehumidify the air, and cannot be switched off. If defogging or
defrosting is not necessary, select a non-defrost mode and disengage
air conditioning to extend vehicle range.
•Air conditioning and heating functions are automatically switched off
(unless in defrost mode) when driving distance to empty is zero miles
(zero km). The interior fan continues to operate, however.
HEATED WINDOWS AND MIRRORS
Rear Window Defroster
Note:The vehicle must be in Ready to Drive for this feature to work.
The rear window defroster control is located on the climate control panel
and works to clear the rear window of fog and thin ice.
Press
to turn the rear window defroster on. An indicator light on
the control will illuminate when active. The rear window defroster turns
off automatically after a predetermined amount of time, if the system
detects a low battery condition or when you turn the ignition off or to
the accessory position. You can turn off the rear window defroster
manually, at any time, by pressing the control again.
If your vehicle is equipped with both rear defroster and heated mirrors,
the same control will activate both. Refer toHeated outside mirrorsin
theDriver Controlschapter.

of the rear window or to remove decals from the inside of the
rear window. This may cause damage to the heated grid lines.
Your warranty does not cover this damage.
Heated Exterior Mirror
Note:Do not remove ice from the mirrors with a scraper or attempt to
readjust the mirror glass that has frozen in place. These actions could
cause damage to the glass and mirrors.
Note:Do not clean the housing or glass of any mirror with harsh
abrasives, fuel or other petroleum-based cleaning products.
Both mirrors heat to remove ice, mist and fog when you turn the rear
window defroster on.

CHANGING A BULB
Lamp Assembly Condensation
Exterior lamps are vented to accommodate normal changes in pressure.
Condensation can be a natural by-product of this design. When moist air
enters the lamp assembly through the vents, there is a possibility that
condensation can occur when the temperature is cold. When normal
condensation occurs, a thin film of mist can form on the interior of the
lens. The thin mist eventually clears and exits through the vents during
normal operation. Clearing time may take as long as 48 hours under dry
weather conditions.
These are examples of acceptable condensation:
•Presence of thin mist (no streaks, drip marks or droplets).
•Fine mist covers less than 50% of the lens.
These are examples of unacceptable moisture (usually caused by a lamp
water leak):
•Water puddle inside the lamp.
•Large water droplets, drip marks or streaks present on the interior of
the lens.
Take your vehicle to a dealer for service if any of the above conditions of
unacceptable moisture are present.
Replacing Headlamp Bulbs
WARNING:Handle a halogen headlamp bulb carefully and keep
out of children’s reach. Grasp the bulb by only its plastic base
and do not touch the glass. The oil from your hand could cause the
bulb to break the next time the headlamps are operated.
Note:If the bulb is accidentally touched, it should be cleaned with
rubbing alcohol before being used.
222Maintenance
2014 Focus Electric Vehicle(fob)
Owners Guide gf, 1st Printing, May 2013
USA(fus)

Note:Some spare tires operate at a higher inflation pressure than the
other tires. For T-type mini-spare tires, see theDissimilar Spare Tire
and Wheel Assembly Informationsection. Store and maintain at 60 psi
(4.15 bar). For full-size and dissimilar spare tires, seeDissimilar Spare
Tire and Wheel Assembly InformationunderChanging a Road Wheel
in this chapter. Store and maintain at the higher of the front and rear
inflation pressure as shown on the Tire Label.
6. Visually inspect the tires to make sure there are no nails or other
objects embedded that could poke a hole in the tire and cause an air
leak.
7. Check the sidewalls to make sure there are no gouges, cuts or bulges.
Inspecting Your Tires and Wheel Valve Stems
Periodically inspect the tire treads for uneven or excessive wear and
remove objects such as stones, nails or glass that may be wedged in the
tread grooves. Check the tire and valve stems for holes, cracks, or cuts
that may permit air leakage and repair or replace the tire and replace
the valve stem. Inspect the tire sidewalls for cracking, cuts, bruises and
other signs of damage or excessive wear. If internal damage to the tire is
suspected, have the tire demounted and inspected in case it needs to be
repaired or replaced. For your safety, tires that are damaged or show
signs of excessive wear should not be used because they are more likely
to blow out or fail.
Improper or inadequate vehicle maintenance can cause tires to wear
abnormally. Inspect all your tires, including the spare, frequently, and
replace them if one or more of the following conditions exist:
Tire Wear
When the tread is worn down to
1/16th of an inch (2 millimeters),
tires must be replaced to help
prevent your vehicle from skidding
and hydroplaning. Built-in
treadwear indicators, or wear bars,
which look like narrow strips of
smooth rubber across the tread will
appear on the tire when the tread
is worn down to 1/16th of an inch
(2 millimeters).
When the tire tread wears down to the same height as these wear bars,
the tire is worn out and must be replaced.
