Smart decision. You probably can't wait to take your new Focus out on the road. But take a minute to get acquainted. Make yourself comfortable (it's not hard in the roomy Focus interior). Here's a quick rundown of some standard and optional features available on your new Focus. We know you'll read your Owner Guide, but Focus has so many great features that we couldn't wait to tell you about them. If you want to know more, the Owner Guide has all of the nittygritty details. Temperature Controls 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) 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) 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. 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. Defroster Performance MA XA /C (A/C equipped only) 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. Need a clearer view? In the Defrost mode, the A/C will automatically 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. Part number: 2S4J-19G217-AA 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.
