2017 FORD FOCUS ELECTRIC tow

PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT
SYSTEM
Note:
The system is not compatible with
non-Ford aftermarket remote start systems.
Use of these systems may result in vehicle
starting problems and a loss of security
protection.
Note: Metallic objects, electronic devices
or a second coded key on the same key
chain may result in vehicle starting
problems, especially if they are too close to
the key when starting your vehicle. Prevent
these objects from touching the coded key
when starting your vehicle. If your vehicle
fails to start, switch your vehicle off, move
all objects on the key chain away from the
key and start your vehicle.
Note: Do not leave a duplicate coded key
in your vehicle. Always take your keys and
lock all doors when leaving your vehicle.
SecuriLock
The system helps prevent your vehicle
from starting unless you use a coded key
programmed to your vehicle. A message
may appear in the information display.
If your vehicle fails to start, the system may
have a fault. Contact an authorized dealer.
A message may appear in the information
display.
Automatic Arming
The system arms when you switch your
vehicle off.
Automatic Disarming
The system disarms when you switch your
vehicle on with a coded key.
Replacement Keys
Note: Your vehicle comes with two keys. The intelligent access key functions as a
programmed key that operates the driver
door lock and turns on the intelligent
access with push button start system, as
well as a remote control.
If your intelligent access keys are lost or
stolen and you do not have an extra coded
key, you need to have your vehicle towed
to an authorized dealer. You need to erase
the key codes from your vehicle and
program new coded keys.
Store a spare intelligent access key away
from your vehicle in a safe place. Contact
an authorized dealer to purchase
additional spare or replacement keys.
Programming a Spare Intelligent
Access Key
You must have two previously
programmed coded keys and the new
unprogrammed key readily accessible.
Contact an authorized dealer to have the
spare key programmed if two previously
programmed keys are not available.
Make sure that your vehicle is switched off
before beginning this procedure. Make sure
that you close all the doors before
beginning and that they remain closed
throughout the procedure. Carry out all
steps within 30 seconds of starting the
sequence. Stop and wait for at least one
minute before starting again if you carry
out any steps out of sequence.
Note:
You can program a maximum of eight
coded keys to your vehicle.
Read and understand the entire procedure
before you begin.

Fold-Away Exterior Mirrors
Push the mirror toward the door window
glass. Make sure that you fully engage the
mirror in its support when returning it to its
original position.
Heated Exterior Mirrors
See Heated Windows and Mirrors (page
96).
Integrated Blind Spot Mirrors WARNING
Objects in the blind spot mirror are
closer than they appear.
Blind spot mirrors have an integrated
convex mirror built into the upper outboard
corner of the exterior mirrors. They are
designed to increase your visibility along
the side of your vehicle.
Check the main mirror first before a lane
change, then check the blind spot mirror.
If no vehicles are present in the blind spot
mirror and the traffic in the adjacent lane
is at a safe distance, signal that you intend
to change lanes. Glance over your shoulder
to verify traffic is clear and carefully
change lanes.
The image of the approaching vehicle is
small and near the inboard edge of the
main mirror when it is at a distance. The
image becomes larger and begins to move
outboard across the main mirror as the
vehicle approaches (A). The image will
transition from the main mirror and begin
to appear in the blind spot mirror as the
vehicle approaches (B). The vehicle will
transition to your peripheral field of view
as it leaves the blind spot mirror (C).
INTERIOR MIRROR
WARNING
Do not adjust the mirror when your
vehicle is moving.

Note:
Remove any snow, ice, or leaves from
the air intake area at the base of the
windshield.
Note: To improve air conditioning when
starting your vehicle, drive with the windows
slightly open for two to three minutes.
Recommended Settings for
Cooling
1. Press the AUTO button.
2. Adjust the temperature control to the desired setting.
Side Window Defogging in Cold
Weather
1. Select air distribution through the floor
vent.
2. Select air distribution through the panel
vent.
3. Select
A/C.
4. Adjust the temperature control to the desired setting.
5. Adjust the outer panel vents toward the side windows.
Note: To increase airflow to the outer panel
vents, close the vents in the middle of the
instrument panel.
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.
HEATED WINDOWS AND
MIRRORS
Heated Rear Window
Note: Make sure the vehicle is running
before operating the heated windows.
