PowerShift Six-speed Automatic Transmission*
The 6-speed, dual-clutch automatic transmission is
designed to offer drivers both enhanced fuel efficiency
and fun-to-drive performance.
The dual-clutch technology uses electronically shifted
clutches to operate two separate transmissions, all in
a small, lightweight package.
Since the clutch and gear operation is derived from
a manual transmission, the PowerShift automatic
transmission will drive, sound, and feel similar to
manual transmission, minus the required user-inputs.
For example, the transmission may exhibit mechanical noises, firm
gear shifts and/or light clutch vibrations when accelerating slowly as
the clutches automatically engage. These are all considered to be
normal and expected driving characteristics.
See the Transmission chapter of your Owner’s Manual for more details.
FUNCTION
Rear View Camera
Provides a video image of the area behind
the vehicle in the display in the center
of the instrument panel. The image
automatically appears when the vehicle
is in reverse (R) and uses green, yellow
and red guides to alert you of
your proximity to objects.
Integrated Blind Spot Mirrors*
Designed to assist you by increasing the visibility along the side of
your vehicle.
• The integrated convex mirror is within the upper outboard corner of
the exterior mirrors.
• When an approaching vehicle moves toward you, the reflection
appears first in the main mirror, and then in the blind spot mirror.
Active Park Assist*
The active park assist system
can detect an available parallel
parking space and automatically
steer the vehicle into that space
(hands-free). The system
instructs the driver with visual
and audible instructions with
regard to braking, accelerating
and shifting gears in order to
safely park the vehicle.
• To initiate active park assist, press the
button located
on the center console.
• To stop the parking procedure, grab the steering wheel or
press the control again. For complete information, refer to
the Parking Aids chapter in your Owner’s Manual.
Note: The driver is always responsible for controlling the vehicle,
supervising the system and intervening, if required.
Towing Your Focus
Towing your Focus behind an RV or any other vehicle
may be limited. Refer to Towing the Vehicle on Four
Wheels in the Towing chapter of your Owner’s Manual.
Headlamp Exit Delay*
After you switch the ignition off, you can switch the
headlamps on by pulling the direction indicator lever
toward you. A short tone sounds. The headlamps turn off
automatically after three minutes with any door open or
30 seconds after you close the last door. You can cancel
this feature by pulling the direction indicator toward you
again or switching the ignition on.
Autolamps*
The headlamps turn on and off automatically in low light situations or during inclement weather. They
remain on for a period of time after you switch the ignition off. You can adjust the time delay through the
information display controls.
