Your Focus

Driver’s Seat with Manual Height Adjustment

While you’re getting comfortable, check out the standard

driver’s-seat manual height adjustment knob, located on the

front lower right portion of the seat. Separate controls let you

adjust the seat forward and backward.

Tilt and Telescoping Steering Wheel

(If equipped)

Here’s another way Focus adjusts to you — not the other way

around. Pull the locking lever (on the underside of the steering

column) down, allowing the steering column to move. Adjust

the steering column up or down, as well as toward or away

from you, to find the driving position you like best.

WARNING: Never adjust the steering wheel while the vehicle is

moving.

Overdrive Cancel Button

(Standard on Focus models with automatic transaxle)

Focus lets

you be in charge. If you’re towing or driving in the mountains,

you may want to switch the Overdrive OFF. Find the button on

the shifter handle, below the thumb button. A light on the

instrument cluster indicates when Overdrive is OFF. Overdrive

defaults to ON when you turn the ignition OFF and then ON again.

Manual Transaxle Reverse Gear Lockout

(Standard on Focus models equipped with the Zetec engine and

the manual transaxle ONLY)

The gearshift lever has a collar

under the shift knob that must be lifted to shift into Reverse.

Cassette/CD Radio Basic Operation

(If equipped)

To eject a cassette, simultaneously press FF and REW all the

way in. To adjust the Bass/Treble and Fade/Balance, press the

appropriate button once/twice, and then adjust using the

volume control knob.

Turning Air Conditioning On/Off

(If equipped)

Don’t lose your cool. To turn the air conditioning system ON, the fan

speed must be set to “1” or higher, and the A/C button must be ON.

Cool enough? To turn the air conditioner OFF, simply set the fan

speed to “0” or press the A/C button. You may experience air coming

through your register even though your blower is set at zero. If this

is not preferred, turn your Recirculation button ON. (Green light)

MAX A/C Activation

(If equipped)

When you want to chill out fast. Push both the A/C and Recirculation

buttons on the instrument panel. Note: MAX A/C shuts off when the

vehicle is turned off. The Recirculation button must be pressed again

when the vehicle is restarted to reactivate MAX A/C. Please refer to

owner’s manual for A/C performance at high engine demands.

Defroster Performance

(A/C equipped only)

Need a clearer view? In the Defrost mode, the A/C will auto-

matically come ON and the Recirculation control will turn OFF for

optimal Defrost and Defog function. Be aware that the A/C will

not come on if outside temperatures fall below 40° F (4° C).

Mode Selector Control

Put the air where you want it, when you want it. A turn of

the dial controls the direction of the airflow inside the vehicle.

Selecting a position partway between modes will divide the

airflow between the modes selected.

Temperature Controls

MAX A/C
