2015 FORD FOCUS ELECTRIC brake fluid

GENERAL INFORMATION
Have your vehicle serviced regularly to help
maintain its roadworthiness and resale
value. There is a large network of Ford
authorized repairers that are there to help
you with their professional servicing
expertise. Authorized repairers are best
qualified to service your vehicle properly
and expertly, with a wide range of highly
specialized tools.
In addition to regular servicing, we
recommend that you carry out the
following checks.
WARNINGS
Switch the ignition off before
touching or attempting adjustment
of any kind.
Do not touch the electronic ignition
system parts after you have switched
the ignition on or when the electric
motor is running. The system operates at
high voltage. Keep your hands and clothing clear
of the electric motor cooling fan.
Under certain conditions, the fan
may continue to run for several minutes
after you have switched the electric motor
off. Make sure that you fit filler caps
securely after carrying out
maintenance checks.
High Voltage Information
WARNING
Exposure to high voltage could result
in severe personal injury or death.
High voltage components must be
serviced by a trained service technician. 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 or are covered with a solid orange
convolute or orange stripe tape. Do not
come in contact with these components.
Daily Checks
•
Exterior lamps.
• Interior lamps.
• Warning lamps and indicators.
Weekly Checks
• Brake fluid level.
• Washer fluid level.
• Tire pressures (when cold).
• Tire condition.
Monthly Checks
• Coolant level. See Coolant Check
(page 171).
• Pipes, hoses and reservoirs for leaks.
• Air conditioning operation.
• Parking brake operation.
• Horn operation.
• Tightness of lug nuts. See
Lug Nuts
(page 221).
OPENING AND CLOSING THE
HOOD
1. Inside the vehicle, pull the hood release

COOLANT CHECK WARNINGS
Do not add coolant when the electric
motor is hot. Steam and scalding
liquids released from a hot cooling
system can cause severe burns. You could
receive burns if you spill coolant on hot
motor parts. Failure to follow this warning
could result in serious personal injury. Do not put coolant in the windshield
washer fluid container. If sprayed on
the windshield, coolant could make
it difficult to see through the windshield.
Failure to follow this warning could result
in serious personal injury or death. To reduce the risk of personal injury,
make sure the electric motor 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. Failure to follow this
warning could result in serious personal
injury. Do not add coolant further than the
MAX mark.
When the electric motor is cold, check the
level and concentration of the coolant in
the reservoir at the intervals listed in the
scheduled maintenance information.
Note:
Make sure that the coolant level is
between the MIN and MAX marks on the
coolant reservoir. Note:
Coolant expands when it is hot. The
level may extend beyond the MAX mark.
Note: If the level is at the MIN mark, below
the MIN mark or empty, add coolant
immediately.
Maintain coolant concentration within
48% to 50%, which equates to a freeze
point between -30°F (-34°C) and -34°F
(-37°C).
Note: For best results, coolant
concentration should be tested with a
refractometer such as Robinair Coolant and
Battery Refractometer 75240. We do not
recommend the use of hydrometers or
coolant test strips for measuring coolant
concentrations.
Note: It is very important to use prediluted
coolant meeting the Ford specification in
order to avoid plugging the small coolant
passageways. Use of concentrated coolant
and water may cause coolant passageway
plugging and void the warranty. See
Capacities and Specifications (page 225).
Note: Automotive fluids are not
interchangeable; do not use coolant,
antifreeze or windshield washer fluid outside
of its specified function and vehicle location.
Adding Coolant
Note: Do not use stop leak pellets or
cooling system sealants or additives as they
can cause damage to the cooling and
heating systems. This damage would not
be covered under your vehicle warranty.
171
Focus (CDH), enUSA, First Printing Maintenance

If you drive in extremely hot climates:
•
It may be necessary to have a Ford
authorized dealer decrease the coolant
concentration to 40%.
• A coolant concentration of 40%
provides improved overheat protection.
Coolant concentrations below 40%
will decrease the freeze and corrosion
protection characteristics of the
coolant and may cause vehicle
damage.
Vehicles driven year-round in non-extreme
climates should use prediluted coolant for
optimum cooling system and vehicle
protection.
BRAKE FLUID CHECK WARNINGS
Do not use any fluid other than the
recommended brake fluid as this will
reduce brake efficiency. Use of
incorrect fluid could result in the loss of
vehicle control, serious personal injury or
death. Only use brake fluid from a sealed
container. Contamination with dirt,
water, petroleum products or other
materials may result in brake system
damage or failure. Failure to adhere to this
warning could result in the loss of vehicle
control, serious personal injury or death. Do not allow the fluid to touch your
skin or eyes. If this happens, rinse the
affected areas immediately with
plenty of water and contact your physician. A fluid level between the MAX and
MIN lines is within the normal
operating range and there is no need
to add fluid. A fluid level not in the normal
operating range could compromise the
performance of the system. Have your
vehicle checked immediately. Only use fluid that meets Ford
specifications.
WASHER FLUID CHECK
When adding fluid, use a mixture of washer
fluid and water to help prevent freezing in
cold weather and improve the cleaning
capability. For information on fluid dilution,
refer to the product instructions.
Note:
The reservoir supplies the front and
rear washer systems.
CHANGING THE 12V BATTERY WARNINGS
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 correct
ventilation. When lifting a plastic-cased battery,
excessive pressure on the end walls
could cause acid to flow through the
vent caps, resulting in personal injury and
damage to the vehicle or battery. Lift the
battery with a battery carrier or with your
hands on opposite corners.

Brakes
•
Make sure the brakes and parking brake
release fully.
Tires
• Maintain recommended air pressure.
Miscellaneous
• Make sure you cover all linkages,
cables, levers and pins under your
vehicle with grease to prevent rust.
• Move vehicles at least 25 ft (7.5 m)
every 15 days to lubricate working parts
and prevent corrosion.
Removing Vehicle From Storage
When your vehicle is ready to come out of
storage, do the following:
• Wash your vehicle to remove any dirt
or grease film build-up on window
surfaces.
• Check windshield wipers for any
deterioration.
• Check under the hood for any foreign
material that may have collected
during storage such as mice or squirrel
nests.
• Check the exhaust for any foreign
material that may have collected
during storage.
• Check tire pressures and set tire
inflation per the Tire Label.
• Check brake pedal operation. Drive
your vehicle
15 ft (4.5 m) back and
forth to remove rust build-up.
• Check fluid levels (including coolant
and gas) to make sure there are no
leaks, and fluids are at recommended
levels.
• If you remove the 12-volt battery, clean
the cable ends and inspect. Contact an authorized dealer if you have
any concerns or issues.
