OPENING AND CLOSING THE
HOOD
Opening the Hood
1. Pull the hood release lever.
2. Slightly lift the hood. Move the catch
toward the center of your vehicle to
release the hood. 3.
Open the hood and support it with the
hood strut.
Closing the Hood
1. Remove the hood strut from the catch
and secure it correctly in the clip.
2. Lower the hood and allow it to drop under its own weight for the last 8-12
in (20-30 cm).
Note: Make sure that the hood is correctly
closed.

If you have to add more than 1.1 qt (1 L) of
coolant per month, have your vehicle
checked as soon as possible. Operating an
electric motor with a low level of coolant
can result in electric motor overheating
and possible electric motor damage.
Note: During normal vehicle operation, the
coolant may change color from orange to
pink or light red. As long as the coolant is
clear and uncontaminated, this color change
does not indicate the coolant has degraded
nor does it require the coolant to be drained,
the system to be flushed, or the coolant to
be replaced.
In case of emergency, you can add a large
amount of water without coolant in order
to reach a vehicle service location. In this
instance, qualified personnel:
1. Must drain the cooling system.
2. Chemically clean the coolant system.
3. Refill with coolant as soon as possible.
Water alone, without coolant, can cause
electric motor damage from corrosion,
overheating or freezing.
Do not use the following as a coolant
substitute:
• Alcohol.
• Methanol.
• Brine.
• Any coolant mixed with alcohol or
methanol antifreeze.
Alcohol and other liquids can cause electric
motor damage from overheating or
freezing.
Do not add extra inhibitors or additives to
the coolant. These can be harmful and
compromise the corrosion protection of
the coolant. Recycled Coolant
Ford Motor Company does not recommend
the use of recycled coolant since a
Ford-approved recycling process is not yet
available.
Dispose of used coolant in the appropriate
manner. Follow your community's
regulations and standards for recycling and
disposing of automotive fluids.
Severe Climates
If you drive in extremely cold climates:
•
It may be necessary to increase the
coolant concentration above 50%.
• A coolant concentration of 60%
provides improved freeze point
protection. Coolant concentrations
above 60% decrease the overheat
protection characteristics of the
coolant and may cause electric motor
damage.
If you drive in extremely hot climates:
• You can decrease the coolant
concentration to 40%.
• Coolant concentrations below 40%
decrease the freeze and corrosion
protection characteristics of the
coolant and may cause electric motor
damage.
Vehicles driven year-round in non-extreme
climates should use prediluted coolant for
optimum cooling system and electric
motor protection.
BRAKE FLUID CHECK WARNINGS
Do not use any fluid other than the
recommended brake fluid as this will
reduce brake efficiency. Use of
incorrect fluid could result in the loss of
vehicle control, serious personal injury or
death.
173
2018 Focus (CDH) Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV), Canada/United States of America, JM5J 19A321 RA enUSA, Edition date: 201706, First Printing Maintenance

WARNINGS
Only use brake fluid from a sealed
container. Contamination with dirt,
water, petroleum products or other
materials may result in brake system
damage or failure. Failure to adhere to this
warning could result in the loss of vehicle
control, serious personal injury or death. Do not allow the fluid to touch your
skin or eyes. If this happens, rinse the
affected areas immediately with
plenty of water and contact your physician. A fluid level between the MAX and
MIN lines is within the normal
operating range and there is no need
to add fluid. A fluid level not in the normal
operating range could compromise the
performance of the system. Have your
vehicle checked immediately. To avoid fluid contamination, the reservoir
cap must remain in place and fully tight,
unless you are adding fluid.
Only use fluid that meets Ford
specifications. WASHER FLUID CHECK
When adding fluid, use a mixture of washer
fluid and water to help prevent freezing
and improve the cleaning capability. For
information on fluid dilution follow the
manufacturer's instructions.
Note:
The reservoir supplies the front and
rear washer systems.
CHANGING THE 12V BATTERY WARNINGS
Batteries normally produce explosive
gases which can cause personal
injury. Therefore, do not allow
flames, sparks or lighted substances to
come near the battery. When working near
the battery, always shield your face and
protect your eyes. Always provide correct
ventilation. When lifting a plastic-cased battery,
excessive pressure on the end walls
could cause acid to flow through the
vent caps, resulting in personal injury and
damage to the vehicle or battery. Lift the
battery with a battery carrier or with your
hands on opposite corners. Keep batteries out of reach of
children. Batteries contain sulfuric
acid. Avoid contact with skin, eyes or
clothing. Shield your eyes when working
near the battery to protect against possible
splashing of acid solution. In case of acid
contact with skin or eyes, flush
immediately with water for a minimum of
15 minutes and get prompt medical
attention. If acid is swallowed, call a
physician immediately. Battery posts, terminals and related
accessories contain lead and lead
compounds. Wash hands after
handling. 174

CHANGING THE FRONT WIPER
BLADES
Note:
If streaks or smears appear on the
windshield, clean the windshield and the
wiper blades. If that does not resolve the
issue, install new wiper blades.
Service Position Set the windshield wipers in the service
position to change the wiper blades. The
windshield wipers return to the starting
position when you switch the ignition on.
Note:
You can use the service position in
winter to provide easier access to the wiper
blades for freeing them from snow and ice.
Make sure the windshield is free from snow
and ice before you switch the ignition on.
1. Switch the ignition on. 2. Switch the ignition off and press and
hold the wiper lever in position A within
three seconds.
3. Release the wiper lever when the windshield wipers reach the service
position.
Note: You can also move the wiper arms
to the service position manually when the
ignition is off. Do not move the wiper arms
to the service position manually when the
ignition is on. The wiper arms lock when you
switch the ignition on.

lifting the wiper arm. 1. Lift the wiper arm and then press the
wiper blade locking buttons together.
Note: Make sure that the wiper arm does
not spring back against the glass when the
wiper blade is not attached.
2. Slightly rotate the wiper blade.
3. Remove the wiper blade.
4. To install, reverse the removal procedure.
Note: Make sure that the wiper blade locks
into place.

Note:
There may be an identifying mark on
the lens to help you locate the center of the
bulb.
Note: To see a clearer light pattern while
adjusting one headlamp, you may want to
block the light from the other headlamp.
3. Switch on the low beam headlamps and open the hood. 4. On the wall or screen you will observe
a flat zone of high intensity light
located at the top of the beam pattern.
If the top edge of the flat zone of high
intensity light is not on the horizontal
reference line, adjust the aim of the
headlamp beam. 5. Locate the vertical adjuster on each
headlamp. Use a suitable tool, for
example a screwdriver or hexagonal
socket, to turn the adjuster clockwise
or counterclockwise to adjust the
vertical aim of the headlamp. The
horizontal edge of the brighter light
should touch the horizontal reference
line.
6. Close the hood and switch off the lamps.
Horizontal Aim Adjustment
The horizontal aim of the headlamp beam
on your vehicle is not adjustable.
REMOVING A HEADLAMP
1. Open the hood. See Opening and
Closing the Hood (page 170).
