2018 FORD FOCUS ELECTRIC check transmission fluid

GENERAL INFORMATION
Wet brakes result in reduced braking
efficiency. Gently press the brake pedal a
few times when driving from a car wash or
standing water to dry the brakes.
Note:
Occasional brake noise is normal. If
a metal-to-metal, continuous grinding or
continuous squeal sound is present, the
brake linings may be worn-out. Have the
system checked by an authorized dealer. If
your vehicle has continuous vibration or
shudder in the steering wheel while braking,
have it checked by an authorized dealer.
Note: Brake dust may accumulate on the
wheels, even under normal driving
conditions. Some dust is inevitable as the
brakes wear and does not contribute to
brake noise. See Cleaning the Wheels
(page 188).
Note: Depending on applicable laws and
regulations in the country for which your
vehicle was originally built, the brake lamps
could flash during heavy braking. Following
this, the hazard lights could also flash when
your vehicle comes to a stop.
Brake Over Accelerator
In the event that the accelerator pedal
becomes stuck or entrapped, apply steady
and firm pressure to the brake pedal to
slow your vehicle and reduce vehicle
power. If you experience this condition,
apply the brakes and bring your vehicle to
a safe stop. Move the transmission to park
(P), switch your vehicle off and apply the
parking brake. Inspect the accelerator
pedal for any interference. If none are
found and the condition persists, have your
vehicle towed to the nearest authorized
dealer. Brake Assist
Brake assist detects when you rapidly
brake by measuring the rate at which you
press the brake pedal. It provides
maximum braking efficiency as long as you
press the pedal, and can reduce stopping
distances in critical situations
Anti-Lock Brake System
This system helps you maintain steering
control during emergency stops by keeping
the brakes from locking.
If it illuminates when you are
driving, this indicates a
malfunction. Your vehicle
continues to have normal braking without
the anti-lock brake system function. Have
your vehicle checked as soon as possible.
It also momentarily illuminates when you
switch your vehicle on to confirm the lamp
is functional. If it does not illuminate when
you switch your vehicle on, or begins to
flash at any time, have the system checked
by an authorized dealer. It illuminates when you engage
the parking brake and your
vehicle is on.
If it illuminates when your vehicle is
moving, make sure the parking brake is
disengaged. If the parking brake is
disengaged, this indicates low brake fluid
level or a brake system fault. Have your
vehicle immediately checked.
It also momentarily illuminates when you
switch your vehicle on to confirm the lamp
is functional. If it does not illuminate when
you switch your vehicle on, or begins to
flash at any time, have the system checked
by an authorized dealer.
