2018 FORD FOCUS traction control

When you shift the transmission intoreverse (R), with your hands off thesteering wheel and nothing obstructing itsmovement, your vehicle steers itself into
the space (hands-free). The systemdisplays instructions to move your vehiclebackward and forward in the space.
When you believe your vehicle is properlyparked, or you hear a solid toneaccompanied by a display message, bringyour vehicle to a complete stop.
When the Active Park Assist maneuver iscomplete, the system displays a messageand a tone sounds.
Note:You are responsible for checking yourparked vehicle and making any necessarycorrections before leaving your vehicle.
Deactivating the Active ParkAssist Feature
You can manually deactivate the systemby:
•Pressing the Active Park Assist buttonduring an active maneuver.
•Grabbing the steering wheel during anactive maneuver.
•Driving above approximately 22 mph(35 km/h) for 30 seconds whilesearching for a parking space.
•Driving above approximately 6 mph(10 km/h) during an active maneuver.
•Switching the traction control systemoff.
Certain vehicle conditions may alsodeactivate the system, for example:
•The traction control system activates.
•There is an anti-lock brake systemactivation or failure.
If a problem occurs with the system, awarning message displays accompaniedby a tone. Occasional system messagesmay occur in normal operation. Forrecurring or frequent system faults, contactan authorized dealer.

Troubleshooting the System
Possible CauseSymptom
You may have the traction control system switched off.The system does not look for aspace.The transmission is in reverse (R). Your vehicle mustbe moving forward to be able to detect a parking space.
The sensors may be covered. For example, snow, iceor dirt buildup. Covered sensors can affect how thesystem functions.
The system does not offer aparking space.
There is not enough room in the parking space for yourvehicle to safely park.
There is not enough space for the parking maneuver onthe opposite side of the parking space.
The parking space is more than 5 ft (1.5 m) or less than16 in (0.4 m) away.
Your vehicle speed is greater than 22 mph (35 km/h).
You recently disconnected or replaced the battery. Aftera battery disconnect, you must drive your vehicle on astraight road for a short period of time.
Your vehicle is rolling in the opposite direction of thecurrent transmission position. For example, rollingforward when in reverse (R).
The system does not positionthe vehicle correctly.
An irregular curb along the parking space prevents thesystem from aligning your vehicle properly.
Improperly parked vehicles or objects are boarding thespace.
Your vehicle is too far past the parking space. Thesystem performs best when you drive the samedistance past the parking space.
You have incorrectly installed or maintained the tires.For example, not inflated correctly, improper size, or ofdifferent sizes.
A repair or alteration changes the detection capabilities.

Before driving through standing water,check the depth. Never drive through waterthat is higher than the bottom of the frontrocker area of your vehicle.
When driving through standing water, drivevery slowly and do not stop your vehicle.Your brake performance and traction maybe limited. After driving through water andas soon as it is safe to do so:
•Lightly press the brake pedal to dry thebrakes and to check that they work.
•Check that the horn works.
•Check that the exterior lights work.
•Turn the steering wheel to check thatthe steering power assist works.
FLOOR MATS
WARNINGS
Use a floor mat designed to fit thefootwell of your vehicle that does notobstruct the pedal area. Failure tofollow this instruction could result in theloss of control of your vehicle, personalinjury or death.
Pedals that cannot move freely cancause loss of vehicle control andincrease the risk of serious personalinjury.
WARNINGS

U.S. Department ofTransportation-Tire qualitygrades: The U.S. Department ofTransportation requires FordMotor Company to give you thefollowing information about tiregrades exactly as the governmenthas written it.
Treadwear
The treadwear grade is acomparative rating based on thewear rate of the tire when testedunder controlled conditions on aspecified government test course.For example, a tire graded 150would wear 1½ times as well onthe government course as a tiregraded 100. The relativeperformance of tires dependsupon the actual conditions of their
use, however, and may departsignificantly from the norm due tovariations in driving habits, servicepractices, and differences in roadcharacteristics and climate.
Traction AA A B C
WARNING
The traction grade assignedto this tire is based onstraight-ahead braking tractiontests, and does not includeacceleration, cornering,hydroplaning or peak tractioncharacteristics.
The traction grades, from highestto lowest are AA, A, B, and C. Thegrades represent the tire’s abilityto stop on wet pavement asmeasured under controlledconditions on specifiedgovernment test surfaces ofasphalt and concrete. A tiremarked C may have poor tractionperformance.
Temperature A B C
WARNING
The temperature grade forthis tire is established for atire that is properly inflated andnot overloaded. Excessive speed,underinflation, or excessiveloading, either separately or incombination, can cause heat
buildup and possible tire failure.
The temperature grades are A(the highest), B and C,representing the tire’s resistanceto the generation of heat and itsability to dissipate heat whentested under controlled conditionson a specified indoor laboratorytest wheel. Sustained hightemperature can cause thematerial of the tire to degenerateand reduce tire life, and excessivetemperature can lead to suddentire failure. The grade Ccorresponds to a level ofperformance which all passengercar tires must meet under the

J.Tire Ply Composition andMaterial Used: Indicates thenumber of plies or the number oflayers of rubber-coated fabric inthe tire tread and sidewall. Tiremanufacturers also must indicatethe ply materials in the tire and thesidewall, which include steel,nylon, polyester, and others.
K.Maximum Load: Indicates themaximum load in kilograms andpounds that can be carried by thetire. Refer to the SafetyCompliance Certification Label(affixed to either the door hingepillar, door-latch post, or the dooredge that meets the door-latchpost, next to the driver's seatingposition), for the correct tirepressure for your vehicle.
L.Treadwear, Traction andTemperature Grades:
*Treadwear The treadwear gradeis a comparative rating based onthe wear rate of the tire whentested under controlled conditionson a specified government testcourse. For example, a tire graded150 would wear one and one-halftimes as well on the governmentcourse as a tire graded 100.
*Traction: The traction grades,from highest to lowest are AA, A,B, and C. The grades represent thetire's ability to stop on wetpavement as measured undercontrolled conditions on specifiedgovernment test surfaces ofasphalt and concrete. A tiremarked C may have poor tractionperformance.
*Temperature: The temperaturegrades are A (the highest), B andC, representing the tire'sresistance to the generation ofheat and its ability to dissipateheat when tested under controlledconditions on a specified indoorlaboratory test wheel.
M.Maximum InflationPressure: Indicates the tiremanufacturer's maximumpermissible pressure or thepressure at which the maximumload can be carried by the tire. Thispressure is normally higher thanthe manufacturer's recommendedcold inflation pressure, which canbe found on the SafetyCompliance Certification Label(affixed to either the door hingepillar, door-latch post, or the dooredge that meets the door-latchpost, next to the driver's seatingposition), or Tire Label which islocated on the B-Pillar or the edgeof the driver’s door. The coldinflation pressure should never beset lower than the recommendedpressure on the vehicle label.

Sometimes irregular tire wear canbe corrected by rotating the tires.
USING SNOW CHAINS
WARNING
Snow tires must be the same size,load index and speed rating as thoseoriginally provided by Ford. Use ofany tire or wheel not recommended byFord can affect the safety andperformance of your vehicle, which couldresult in an increased risk of loss of control,vehicle rollover, personal injury and death.Additionally, the use of non-recommendedtires and wheels can cause steering,suspension, axle, transfer case or powertransfer unit failure. Follow the Fordrecommended tire inflation pressure foundon the Safety Compliance CertificationLabel (on the door hinge pillar, door latchpost or the door edge that meets the doorlatch post, next to the driver seat), or TireLabel on the B-Pillar or the edge of thedriver door. Failure to follow the tirepressure recommendations can causeuneven treadwear patterns and adverselyaffect the way your vehicle handles.
The tires on your vehicle have all-weathertreads to provide traction in rain and snow.However, in some climates, you may needto use snow tires or snow chains.
If you choose to install snow tires on yourvehicle, they must be installed on all fourwheels and they must be the same size,load index and speed rating as the originaltires listed on the tire inflation pressurelabel. The label is on the on the B-Pillar orthe edge of the driver door . Mixing tires ofdifferent size or construction on yourvehicle can adversely affect your vehicle’shandling and braking, and may lead to lossof vehicle control.
If you use snow chains, we recommendthat steel wheels of the same size andspecifications are used. Snow chains maydamage aluminum wheels.
Follow these guidelines when using snowchains:
•Avoid fully loading your vehicle.
•Only use small link snow chains ofapproximately 10mm with 215/55R16tires only.
•Only use small link snow chains ofapproximately 15mm with 195/65R15tires only.
•Only use snow chains on the tire sizeslisted above.
•Snow chains must be mounted in pairson the front axle.
•Install snow chains securely, make surethey do not touch any wiring, brakelines or fuel lines.
•Do not exceed 30 mph (48 km/h) orthe maximum speed recommended bythe chain manufacturer, whichever isless.
•Remove snow chains when they are nolonger required.
•Do not use snow chains on dry roads.
