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.

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.

FORD FOCUS ELECTRIC 2015 3.G Owners Manual Note:

Note:
During normal vehicle operation, the
coolant may change color from orange to
pink or light red.
As long as the coolant is clear and
uncontaminated, this color change does
not indicate that the coolant has degraded,
nor does it require that qualified personnel
drain the coolant, flush the system or
replace the coolant.
Do not mix different colors or types of
coolant in your vehicle. Make sure the
correct coolant is used. Mixing of coolants
may harm your cooling system. The use of
an improper coolant may harm the electric
motor or cooling system components and
may invalidate the vehicle warranty.
In case of emergency, you can add a large
amount of water without coolant in order
to reach a vehicle service location. In this
instance, qualified personnel:
1. Must drain the cooling system.
2. Chemically clean the coolant system with Motorcraft Premium Cooling
System Flush.
3. Refill with coolant as soon as possible.
Water alone, without coolant, can cause
vehicle damage from corrosion,
overheating, freezing or plugging.
Do not use the following as a coolant
substitute:
• Alcohol.
• Methanol.
• Brine.
• Any coolant mixed with alcohol or
methanol antifreeze or coolant.
Alcohol and other liquids can cause vehicle
damage from overheating or freezing.
Do not add extra inhibitors or additives to
the coolant. These can be harmful and
compromise the corrosion protection of
the coolant. Whenever coolant has been added, the
coolant level in the coolant reservoir
should be checked the next few times you
drive the vehicle. If necessary, add enough
prediluted coolant to bring the coolant
level to the correct level.
When adding coolant:
1. Unscrew the cap slowly. Any pressure
will escape as you unscrew the cap.
2. Add prediluted coolant meeting the Ford specification. See Capacities
and Specifications (page 222).
3. Check the coolant level in the coolant reservoir the next few times you drive
your vehicle.
4. If necessary, add enough prediluted coolant to bring the coolant level to
the proper level.
Recycled Coolant
Ford Motor Company does not recommend
the use of recycled coolant since a
Ford-approved recycling process is not yet
available.
Used coolant should be disposed of in an
appropriate manner. Follow your
community ’s regulations and standards
for recycling and disposing of automotive
fluids.
Severe Climates
If you drive in extremely cold climates:
• It may be necessary to have a Ford
authorized dealer increase the coolant
concentration above 50%.
• A coolant concentration of 60%
provides improved freeze point
protection. Coolant concentrations
above 60% decrease the overheat
protection characteristics of the
coolant and may cause vehicle
damage.

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.
