DATA RECORDING
Service Data Recording
Service data recorders in your vehicle are capable of collecting and
storing diagnostic information about your vehicle. This potentially
includes information about the performance or status of various systems
and modules in the vehicle, such as engine, throttle, steering or brake
systems. In order to properly diagnose and service your vehicle, Ford
Motor Company, Ford of Canada, and service and repair facilities may
access or share among them vehicle diagnostic information received
through a direct connection to your vehicle when diagnosing or servicing
your vehicle. Additionally, when your vehicle is in for service or repair,
Introduction9
2014 Focus Electric Vehicle(fob)
Owners Guide gf, 1st Printing, May 2013
USA(fus)
WARNING:All occupants of the vehicle including the driver
should always wear their safety belts even when an airbag
supplemental restraint system and side curtain airbag is provided.
Failure to properly wear your safety belt could seriously increase the
risk of injury or death.
WARNING:To reduce the risk of injury, do not obstruct or place
objects in the deployment path of the side curtain airbag.
WARNING:If the side curtain airbags have deployed, the side
curtain airbags will not function again. The side curtain airbags
(including the A, B and C pillar trim and headliner) must be inspected
and serviced by an authorized dealer. If the side curtain airbag is not
replaced, the unrepaired area will increase the risk of injury in a crash.
A side curtain airbag will deploy during significant side crashes. The
airbags are mounted to the roof side-rail sheet metal, behind the headliner,
above each row of seats. In certain sideways crashes, the side curtain
airbag on the impacted side of the vehicle will be activated. The side
curtain airbags are designed to inflate between the side window area and
occupants to further enhance protection provided in side impact crashes.
The system consists of:
•side curtain airbags located above
the trim panels over the front
and rear side windows identified
by a label or wording on the
headliner or roof-pillar trim.
•a flexible headliner which opens above the side doors to allow side air
curtain deployment.
•crash sensors and monitoring system with readiness
indicator. SeeCrash sensors and Airbag Indicator
later in this chapter.
52Supplementary Restraints System
2014 Focus Electric Vehicle(fob)
Owners Guide gf, 1st Printing, May 2013
USA(fus)
Children 12 years old and under should always be properly restrained in
the back seats. The side curtain airbags will not interfere with children
restrained using a properly installed child or booster seat because it is
designed to inflate downward from the headliner above the doors along
the side window opening.
The design and development of the side curtain airbags included
recommended testing procedures that were developed by a group of
automotive safety experts known as the Side Airbag Technical Working
Group. These recommended testing procedures help reduce the risk of
injuries related to the deployment of side curtain airbags.
CRASH SENSORS AND AIRBAG INDICATOR
WARNING:Modifying or adding equipment to the front end of
your vehicle (including frame, bumper, front end body structure
and tow hooks) may affect the performance of the airbag system,
increasing the risk of injury. Do not modify the front end of your
vehicle.
Your vehicle has a collection of crash and occupant sensors which
provide information to the restraints control module which deploys
(activates) the front safety belt pretensioners, driver airbag, passenger
airbag, knee airbag, seat mounted side airbags, and the side curtain
airbags. Based on the type of crash (frontal impact or side impact) the
restraints control module will deploy the appropriate safety devices.
The restraints control module also monitors the readiness of the above
safety devices plus the crash and occupant sensors. The readiness of the
safety system is indicated by a warning indicator light in the instrument
cluster or by a backup tone if the warning light is not working. See the
Instrument Clusterchapter. Routine maintenance of the airbag is not
required.
Supplementary Restraints System53
2014 Focus Electric Vehicle(fob)
Owners Guide gf, 1st Printing, May 2013
USA(fus)
The horn will sound if the system fails to start, unless quiet start is on.
Quiet start will run the blower fan at a slower speed to reduce noise. You
can switch it on or off in the information display. See theInformation
Displayschapter.
Note:If you remote start your vehicle, you must have a programmed
intelligent access key inside your vehicle and press theSTART/STOP
button on the instrument panel once while applying the brake pedal
before driving your vehicle.
The power windows will not work during the remote start and the radio
will not turn on automatically.
The parking lamps will remain on and the vehicle will run for 5, 10, or
15 minutes, depending on the setting. See theInformation Displays
chapter to select the duration of the remote start system.
Extending the Vehicle Run Time
Repeat Steps 1 and 2 with the vehicle still running to extend the run
time for another remote start duration. If the duration is set to last
10 minutes, the system will add another 10 minutes. For example, if the
vehicle had been running from the first remote start for five minutes,
the vehicle will continue to run now for a total of 20 minutes. You can
extend the remote start up to a maximum of 30 minutes.
Wait at least five seconds before remote starting after a vehicle
shutdown.
Turning the Vehicle Off After Remote Starting
Press the button once. The parking lamps will turn off.
You may have to be closer to your vehicle than when starting due to
ground reflection and the added noise of the running vehicle.
You can disable or enable the remote start system through the
information display. Refer to theInformation Displaychapter.
REPLACING A LOST KEY OR REMOTE CONTROL
You can purchase replacement or additional keys or remote controls from
an authorized dealer. A dealer can program the transmitters to your
vehicle or you may be able to program them yourself. See theSecurity
chapter for information on programming your transmitters.
