7. MYFORD® MOBILE APP FOR
YOUR SMARTPHONE
View your vehicle’s charging information on a computer or
other Web-accessible mobile device, smartphone or from
your vehicle by downloading your free MyFord Mobile app
for your phone. Visit MyFordmobile.com and enhance your
charging experience with these key features and more:
• Text Alert: Receive text messages on your phone
that notify you of your vehicle’s charging status and
other functionality.
• Find a Charging Station: Locate charging stations
when you are on the go so you can recharge while you
are out.
8. CABIN CONDITIONING Get the most miles out of every charge by letting the
interior of your Focus Electric warm up or cool down while
you still have it plugged in and charging. Use MyFord
Mobile to set the cabin temperature and departure time
before you leave.
Note: Extreme outside temperatures or 120V charging may reduce
cabin conditioning effectiveness.
9. TRIP PLANNERLocate the best routes to your destination based on charge
levels and available charging stations. After you input your
destination, MyFord Mobile interfaces with the vehicle to
provide the confidence to always know how far you can go,
and the most economical way of getting there.
10. VALUE CHARGINGMyFord Mobile gives Focus Electric drivers a unique
“set it and forget it” charging feature. The app lets you
know when the cheapest rates are available
and allows you to set your vehicle’s
charging time accordingly.
Contact your utility
company to learn if
regular charging during
non-peak times
requires a rate
plan change.
Smart Start10 QUICK TIPS
1. CHARGE PORT DOOR AND LIGHT RINGThe charge port is on the front left fender. Press the
indentation on the charge port door to open it. To close,
press and hold the indentation until the door rotates and
closes. The light ring indicates the approximate charge
status of your high-voltage battery system as it charges.
2. CHARGE OPTIONS Focus Electric comes equipped with
a 120V charge cord. Ford recommends
upgrading to the optional 240V charging
station for faster, more efficient charging.
Use of an available, Ford-branded 240V home charging
station takes approximately 3.6 hours to fully charge an
empty battery. In addition, you can charge your Focus
Electric anywhere you find a 120V/240V charge station.
Every charge station uses the same connector.
3. PUSH BUTTON SILENT STARTTo start your Focus Electric, press the brake pedal and
press the START STOP button on the instrument panel.
The green indicator light
lets you know that your
Focus Electric is ready to drive.
4. SMARTGAUGE® WITH ECOGUIDEUse your 5-way controls located on your steering wheel
to interact. You can choose and confirm settings and
messages, control many of the SYNC with MyFord Touch
functions, and change how you view your Focus Electric
vehicle information.
5. RANGE SCREENSChoose several ways to view vehicle range. Enter a
destination and range view to learn if you have enough
plug-in power to get there. The various screens can also
show miles or kilometers per charge, distance until your
plug-in power depletes and an evaluation of economical
driving habits. The visual cues of butterflies in the right
cluster lets you know your range surplus: more butterflies
equal greater surplus.
6. BRAKE COACHAfter your vehicle comes to a stop,
this screen automatically appears
in your display. It coaches you
to maximize the amount of
energy returned through the
regenerative braking system.
The percentage displayed
indicates the regenerative
braking efficiency.

Tips
• Make sure you accept the request from SYNC to access
your phone.
• To pair subsequent phones, please refer to Pairing
Subsequent Phones in the SYNC chapter of your
Owner’s Manual.
• If you are experiencing pairing problems, try performing
a clean pairing by deleting your services from SYNC and
deleting the SYNC connection from your phone, and then
repeat the process.
PHONE
Voice-control your phone for hands-free calling with your
phone securely put away. With SYNC, you won’t even need
to know the phone number. Just say the name of the person
you want from your contacts.
Your Phone Connects You with Many Other Features
• Connect directly to a 911 Operator in the event of an accident
(feature must be set to ON prior to an incident).
• Transfer calls seamlessly from SYNC to phone as you
get in or out of your vehicle.
Refer to the MyFord Touch chapter of your Owner’s Manual
for complete details.
USING MY PHONE WITH SYNC
Note: Enter your phone book contacts with both first and last
names to increase the ability of SYNC to select the correct contact.
Remember to say the contact name exactly as you listed it in your
phone book.
Making a Phone Call
Use SYNC to make a phone call to anyone in your phone
book by pulling the voice control
. When prompted, give a
voice command.
For example, you could say “Call Jake Smith at home”. SYNC
repeats the command back to you and dials the number.
Note: You can also make phone calls by pressing the voice button
and when prompted, give the voice command “Dial” again to
initiate the call.
Answering Incoming Calls
Whenever you have an incoming call, the name and number
of the person calling appears in your display. Press the
phone button
to answer an incoming call. You can hang
up at any time by pressing the phone button .
Do Not Disturb Mode
This feature blocks incoming calls and text messages, and
sends them for later. You still have access to outgoing calls
when this feature is active. Say the voice command “Do not
disturb on” to enable and “Do not disturb off” to disable.
NAVIGATION*
Get started with your navigation system by pressing the
upper-right, green corner. The available, voice-activated
navigation system includes:
• SiriusXM Traffic™
• SiriusXM Travel Link™
• 3-D mapping
• Turn-by-turn navigation
Some features require activation. Refer to the
MyFord Touch chapter of your Owner’s Manual for
complete details.
Tips
• Save your favorite locations by touching “Save
to Favorites”.
• Change your map views from Heading Up, North Up
or 3-D.
Set a Destination
Set a destination on your touchscreen by using a street
address, a city center, a place on the map or a point of
interest (POI). The easiest way, however, is by voice.
1. Pull the voice control
. When prompted, say
“Destination street address”.
2. The system asks you to say the full address and displays
an example on-screen.
3. You can then speak the address naturally, such as:
“One two three Main Street, Anytown”. You can also use the touchscreen to enter a destination
and narrow your choices by city or street as you type.
You can choose from up to three different types
of routes:
•
Fastest : Uses the fastest moving roads possible.
• Shortest: Uses the shortest distance possible.
• Eco (EcoRoute): Uses the most energy-efficient route.
CLIMATE
SYNC with MyFord Touch controls the temperature,
airflow direction and fan speed, and activates other
climate features for you and your passenger. To use voice
commands to operate the climate control, say a voice
command like “Climate temperature 72 degrees” and
MyFord Touch makes that adjustment.
Set Your Temperature
• Touch the lower-right, blue Climate corner on
the touchscreen.
• Set your exact, desired temperature by using the
+ or – buttons.
