Budget Text View
Contains basic information to help you
reach your next charging destination or to
achieve your vehicle range estimate.
• Charge pt: is the distance remaining to
the next charge point you identified
using the Navigation system.
• Surplus: is the available range beyond
your identified charge point (current
Range Estimate shown on Battery
Gauge minus Charge pt distance). If you don
’t enter a charge point, you will
see:
• Budget: is set to the Range Estimate
at the point of departure. This will
count down with the odometer.
• Status: is your performance against
your Budget (current Range Estimate
shown on Battery Gauge minus Budget
distance). A positive Status indicates
you are using less energy than typical
and have extended your Range
Estimate by the distance shown.
Budget view
Helps you manage your energy use.

Focus (CDH) Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV), Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing Information Displays

Your current energy use is the white line
that moves up and down in the Budget
Gauge. A higher line means you are using
more energy (lower is better). Your energy
use includes input from the accelerator
pedal as well as the accessories, such as
Climate Control.
The Budget is shown by the blue cup shape
around the Budget Gauge. As long as your
current energy use is within the cup, you
are staying within your budget. Your
Budget represents the maximum energy
usage you can maintain in order to achieve
your vehicle range estimate, or reach your
intended charge point. Driving for extended
periods outside of the Budget Cup reduces
your budget and could put you at risk of
not reaching your intended charge point.
Range view
Shows your range relative to your charge
point as well as performance to your
budget.
A blue charge point icon means you have
a Surplus. If an E appears to the left of an
amber charge point icon, then you are
projected to run out of charge prior to
reaching your charge point.
Current performance to your budget is
represented by the glow of the car icon:
more Blue = better performance to budget,
more Amber = worse.
The optional Surplus Graphic displays
available range beyond your charge point.
If you didn
’t enter your charge point
through the Navigation system, your
budget will be set to the range estimate at
the start of your trip. The gauge will show
your estimated distance to E (empty)
along with your current performance to
budget. The optional Surplus Graphic is
not available in this case. MyView
You can choose what to display in this
view. Selecting Change MyView in the
options menu allows you to scroll through
two columns of content choices.
• Press the up or down arrow to view
content.
• Press
OK to save your selected
content.
Unique content available in MyView:
• Accessory Power - Indicates electrical
power demands from your vehicle ’s
accessory systems. Accessories use
power but do not contribute to
propelling your vehicle. The gauge
separately displays power demand in
kilowatts (kW) for climate and other
accessories. Climate includes the
power being used by high voltage
climate control components such as
the electric A/C compressor and the
electric heater. Other includes all
power being used by the low voltage
accessories (cabin fans, headlights,
heated seats, etc.).
• Budget + Avg - The white pointers on
the outside of the budget gauge
indicate your average watt hours per
mi (km) since you last charged your
vehicle. Immediately after charging the
white pointers will start out at the top
of the gauge, as you begin driving they
will reflect your average energy use.
Note: The trip data cannot be reset in
MyView.
Trip 1 & 2 Use the arrow buttons to choose
between the following.

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.

GENERAL INFORMATION
WARNINGS
This battery pack shall only be
serviced by an authorized electric
vehicle technician. Improper handling
can result in personal injury or death. Your vehicle consists of various high
voltage components and wiring. All
high voltage cables are labeled and
covered with a solid orange covering or
orange striped tape. Do not touch these
components. Failure to follow this warning
could result in serious personal injury or
death. The high voltage battery system is a high
voltage, lightweight lithium-ion battery
which has two individual packs. One pack
is located in the rear cargo area behind the
second row seats, the other is located
underneath the vehicle. The high voltage
battery system uses an advanced active
liquid heating and cooling system to
regulate high voltage battery temperature
and help maximize the life of the high
voltage battery.
Note:
The high voltage battery does not
require regular service maintenance.
Note: The high voltage battery will
experience gradual capacity loss with time
and usage. This is normal.
CHARGING THE HIGH
VOLTAGE BATTERY WARNINGS
Do not use the 120 volt convenience
cord with an extension cord,
two-prong adapter, surge protector,
timer or other adapter. In Canada, do not use the 120 volt
convenience cord in commercial
garages. WARNINGS
This equipment has arcing or
sparking parts, do not expose to
flammable vapors. Position this
equipment at least 18 inches (80
millimeters) above the floor. The AC wall plug must fit firmly into
the AC outlet. If the connection feels
loose, worn or the AC outlet is
damaged, please have a qualified
electrician replace the AC outlet. Using a
convenience cord with a worn outlet may
cause burns, property damage and
increase the risk of electric shock. Charging Equipment
Your vehicle is equipped with a standard
120 volt convenience cord. Lift the load
floor carpet in the rear of your vehicle to
access the 120 volt convenience cord.
Note:
The 120 volt convenience cord allows
you to charge the high voltage battery using
a standard 120 volt household outlet. It
takes approximately 18 hours to completely
charge an empty battery using the standard
120 volt convenience cord.
We recommend upgrading to the optional
240 volt charging station for faster more
efficient charging.
Note: The electrical source must meet
certain requirements for the high-voltage
batteries to charge. The AC outlet must be
a three-prong 110-120 volt AC outlet that is
properly grounded, 15– 20 amps (or greater)
and in good condition. You must use a
dedicated line, which means you cannot
have other appliances connected to the
same circuit. If you do not use a dedicated
circuit, the circuit breaker could trip or open.
If you do not have a dedicated circuit,
contact a licensed professional electrician
for proper installation.
