HINTS ON CONTROLLING THE
INTERIOR CLIMATE
General Hints
Note: Prolonged use of recirculated air may
cause the windows to fog up.
Note: To reduce humidity build-up inside
your vehicle, do not drive with the system
switched off or with recirculated air always
switched on.
Note: Do not place objects under the front
seats as this may interfere with the airflow
to the rear seats.

Focus (CDH), enUSA, First Printing Climate ControlE183686

Note:
Remove any snow, ice, or leaves from
the air intake area at the base of the
windshield.
Note: To improve air conditioning when
starting your vehicle, drive with the windows
slightly open for two to three minutes.
Recommended Settings for
Cooling
1. Press the AUTO button.
2. Adjust the temperature control to the desired setting.
Side Window Defogging in Cold
Weather
1. Select air distribution through the floor
vent.
2. Select air distribution through the panel
vent.
3. Select
A/C.
4. Adjust the temperature control to the desired setting.
5. Adjust the outer panel vents toward the side windows.
Note: To increase airflow to the outer panel
vents, close the vents 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.
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 will continue to operate.
HEATED WINDOWS AND
MIRRORS
Heated Rear Window
Note: Make sure the vehicle is running
before operating the heated windows.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The traction control system helps avoid
drive wheel spin and loss of traction.
If your vehicle begins to slide, the system
applies the brakes to individual wheels
and, when needed, reduces engine power
at the same time. If the wheels spin when
accelerating on slippery or loose surfaces,
the system reduces engine power in order
to increase traction.
USING TRACTION CONTROL
If your vehicle is stuck in mud or snow,
switching traction control off may be
beneficial, this allows the wheels to spin.
You can switch this feature on or off using
the vehicle settings menu in the
information display or by pressing the
button on the instrument panel.
Switching the System Off Using
the Information Display Controls
(If Equipped)
Your vehicle comes with this feature
already enabled. You can switch this
feature on or off using the vehicle settings
menu in the information display. See

Switch
(If Equipped)
The button is located on the instrument
panel. See Instrument Panel Overview
(page
15).
Press the button to switch the system off.
You will see a message in conjunction with
an illuminated icon in the display. Press
the button again to switch the system back
on.
When you switch the traction control
system off, stability control remains fully
active. System Warning Lamps and
Messages WARNING
If the warning lamp remains
illuminated or does not illuminate
when you switch the ignition on, this
indicates a malfunction. During a
malfunction the system will switch off.
Have the system checked immediately.
Operating your vehicle with the system
disabled could lead to the loss of vehicle
control, vehicle rollover, personal injury or
death. The warning lamp temporarily
illuminates when you start the
engine. It will flash when the
system is active. The warning lamp temporarily
illuminates when you start the
engine. It will illuminate when
you switch the system off.
When you switch the system off or on, a
message appears in the information
display showing system status.
