STARTING A GASOLINE
ENGINE
When you start the engine, the idle speed
increases. This helps to warm up the
engine. If the engine idle speed does not
slow down automatically, have your
vehicle checked by an authorized dealer.
Note:
You can crank the engine for a total
of 60 seconds without the engine starting
before the starting system temporarily
disables. The 60 seconds does not have to
be all at once. For example, if you crank the
engine three times for 20 seconds each
time, without the engine starting, you
reached the 60-second time limit. A
message appears in the information display
alerting you that you exceeded the cranking
time. You cannot attempt to start the engine
for at least 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, you
are limited to a 15-second engine cranking
time. You need to wait 60 minutes before
you can crank the engine for 60 seconds
again.
Before starting your vehicle, check the
following:
• Make sure all occupants have fastened
their safety belts.
• Make sure the headlamps and
electrical accessories are off.
• Make sure the parking brake is on. •

AUTO-START-STOP (If Equipped)
The system reduces fuel consumption and
CO2 emissions by shutting down the
engine when your vehicle is idling, for
example at traffic lights. WARNINGS
The engine may restart
automatically if required by the
system.
Switch the ignition off before
opening the hood or performing any
maintenance. Failure to do so may
result in serious injuries due to automatic
engine restart. Always switch the ignition off before
leaving your vehicle, as the system
may have turned the engine off, but
the ignition will still be on and automatic
restart may occur. Note:
The auto-start-stop indicator
illuminates green when the engine shuts
down. See Warning Lamps and Indicators
(page 92). It flashes amber with a message
when the driver needs to shift to neutral or
press a pedal. See Information Messages
(page
99). If it illuminates grey, the system
is not available. Using Auto Start-Stop With a

Limitations of Use
The system may not shut down the engine
under certain conditions, for example:
• Low engine operating temperature.
• To maintain the interior climate.
• The battery charge level is low.
130
Focus (CDH), enUSA, First Printing Unique Driving Characteristics

•
The outside temperature is too low or
too high.
• The driver door is open when the
vehicle is moving.
• The driver safety belt is not fastened.
• The transmission is in Sport or Manual
modes (automatic transmission only).
The system may automatically restart the
engine under certain conditions, for
example:
• To maintain the interior climate, for
example air conditioning.
• The battery charge level is low.
• Your vehicle starts to roll downhill in
neutral.
• The driver safety belt is not fastened
(automatic transmission only).
• The driver door is opened (automatic
transmission only).
• The transmission is shifted out of drive
(automatic transmission only).
Switching the System On and Off When you switch the ignition on, the
system automatically turns on.
To switch the system off, press the switch
and the word OFF illuminates. Press again
to switch the system back on. The system
only switches off for the current ignition
cycle.
Note:
If the system detects a malfunction,
it turns off. The OFF lamp on the switch
illuminates continuously. If this remains on
after an ignition cycle, have your vehicle
checked by an authorized dealer.
Note: The system may not function if you
leave electrical equipment connected with
the ignition off. Note:
For vehicles with Auto Start-Stop,
the battery requirement is different. Replace
it with one of exactly the same specification
as the original.

4. Wait at least 10 seconds before
removing the fuel pump nozzle to allow
any residual fuel to drain into the fuel
tank.
Note: A fuel spillage concern may occur if
overfilling the fuel tank. Do not overfill the
tank. The fill pipe is equipped with a drain
hole. Excess fuel due to overfill may drain
through the drain hole and drip onto the
ground.
If the fuel fill inlet was not properly closed,
a service engine warning lamp may appear
on the instrument cluster.
At the next opportunity, do the following:
1. Stop your vehicle as soon as safely possible and shift the transmission into
park (P).
2. Open the fuel filler door and remove any visible debris from the fuel fill
opening.
3. Insert either the fuel fill nozzle or the fuel fill funnel provided with the vehicle
several times to allow the inlet to close
properly. This will dislodge any debris
preventing the inlet from sealing.
If this action corrects the problem, the
message may not reset immediately. It
may take several driving cycles for the
message to turn off. A driving cycle
consists of an engine start-up (after 4 or
more hours with the engine off) followed
by city or highway driving. Continuing to
drive with the message on may cause the
service engine soon lamp to turn on as
well. FUEL CONSUMPTION
Note:
The amount of usable fuel in the
empty reserve varies and should not be
relied upon to increase driving range. When
refueling your vehicle after the fuel gauge
indicates empty, you might not be able to
refuel the full amount of the advertised
capacity of the fuel tank due to the empty
reserve still present in the tank.
Empty reserve is the amount of fuel
remaining in the tank after the fuel gauge
indicates empty. Do not rely on this fuel for
driving. The usable capacity of the fuel
tank is the amount of fuel that can be put
into the tank after the gauge indicates
empty. The advertised capacity is the total
fuel tank size – it is the combined usable
capacity plus the empty reserve.
Filling the Tank
For consistent results when filling the fuel
tank:
• Turn the ignition off before fueling; an
inaccurate reading results if the engine
is left running.
• Use the same fill rate
(low-medium-high) each time the tank
is filled.
• Allow no more than two automatic
click-offs when filling.
Results are most accurate when the filling
method is consistent.
Calculating Fuel Economy
Do not measure fuel economy during the
first 1000 miles (1600 kilometers) of
driving (this is your engine ’s break-in
period); a more accurate measurement is
obtained after 2000 miles - 3000 miles
(3200 kilometers - 4800 kilometers). Also,
fuel expense, frequency of fill ups or fuel
gauge readings are not accurate ways to
measure fuel economy.
