Sunroof

(if equipped)

Your sunroof opens by lifting or sliding back. With the sunroof closed,

press (the up arrow) to open, the (down arrow) to lift the rear of the

sunroof. If the sunroof is partly lifted, press (the down arrow) to lift the

partly open, press (the up arrow) to open it further, press (the down

arrow) to close. To open or close automatically, briefly press either side of the switch to the

your sunroof fully open at low speeds, close the sunroof by approximately two inches or

slightly lower any of the side windows.

Manual Shifter

(if equipped)

To start, put the gearshift in neutral. Maintain pressure on the brake

pedal and depress the clutch. Start the ignition; let the engine idle a few

seconds before shifting into gear. Release the brake pedal; ease off the

clutch while pressing slowly on the accelerator pedal. To shift into

reverse, come to a full stop; lift the locking ring and move the gearshift

fully to the right, then rearward into reverse. To park, apply the brake, shift into neutral, set

the parking brake and shift into first. Turn your ignition off. To remove your key, turn the

ignition key to position 1.

Tilt and Telescope Steering

(if equipped)

Pull the locking lever down to adjust your steering column position.

Always place both hands opposite each other on the steering wheel

when adjusting the telescope position; never adjust your steering

wheel’s tilt and telescope functions while you’re driving. After adjusting,

return the lever to its original position to prevent the wheel from sliding.

Seating

To adjust front seats, lift the lever to slide forward or backward; turn the

knob to adjust the height, lift the side control to adjust the seatback angle.

The 60/40 seatbacks of Focus Hatchback and Wagon can be folded

forward from inside the vehicle. Lift the seat cushion and pull it forward;

remove rear seat head restraints (if equipped) and stow them on the floor

behind the front seats. Push the unlocking control and fold the rear

seatback forward. To resume normal position, fold the seatback back

until you hear a distinct “click.” The Sedan’s 60/40 seatback can be folded forward by using

controls located in the luggage compartment. Lift the seat cushion and pull it forward. Remove

rear seat head restraints (if equipped) and stow them on the floor behind the front seats; pull

one or both of the unlocking controls in the luggage compartment and fold the rear seatback

forward. To resume normal position, fold the seatback back until you hear a distinct “click.”

QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE

Fuses

If electrical components in your vehicle are

not working, a fuse may have blown. The

fuse panel is located below and to the left

of the steering wheel by the brake pedal;

remove the cover to view the fuses. To

learn about changing fuses, please consult

your Owner’s Guide.

Unleaded Fuel Recommendations

Use “Regular” unleaded gasoline with an

(R+M)/2 octane rating of 87. Ford does not

recommend using “Regular” gasoline with

an octane rating of 86 or lower in high

altitude areas.

Tire Pressure

Adjust the tire pressure to the specifications

on your Certification Label, located near the

front door latch on the driver’s side. When

checking pressure, use an accurate tire

pressure gauge. Check tire pressure when

the tires are cold, after the vehicle has been

parked for at least one hour or has been

driven less than 3 miles. Warning: Improperly

inflated tires can affect vehicle handling and

can fail suddenly, possibly resulting in loss of

vehicle control.

Changing the Tires

Your vehicle is equipped with either a full

size or a temporary spare tire. (Temporary

spares are smaller than regular tires and

designed for emergency use only; replace

this tire with a full-size tire that is identical

to the other tires on your vehicle as soon

as possible. Please see your Owner’s

Guide for additional information on

temporary spares.)

Location of the Spare Tire and Tools

The spare tire is located under the vehicle,

just forward of the rear bumper.

Take note

of jack position before removing

so you

know where to restow when you’re done.

To remove the jack, loosen the tie-down

bolt in the counterclockwise direction. The

lug wrench is located under your spare tire

(for Focus Sedan and Coupe) or on the

underside of the access cover on Wagons.

limited warranty period, every new Ford

vehicle includes the assurance and

support

of a 24-hour emergency Roadside

Assistance program. Roadside Assistance
