Economical Driving; Active City Stop; Tire Pressure Monitoring System - Ford focus Quick Reference Manual

Switching the System On and Off
You can switch the system on and off using
the information display.
Setting the System Speed Warning
The system has a number of speed warning
levels which can be set using the
information display.

ACTIVE CITY STOP

Principle of Operation
The sensor is on the rear of the interior
mirror. It continuously monitors conditions
to decide when to intervene.
The system operates at speeds below
approximately 31 mph (50 km/h) by
applying the brakes if it detects that a crash
is likely. If the system applies the brakes a
message will appear in the information
display.
The system may reduce the risk of a low
speed crash into another vehicle. It also
helps reduce impact damage or may avoid
the crash completely.
Note: You must depress the brake pedal to
obtain full braking force.
Switching the System Off and On
You can switch this feature off using the
information display controls.
Note: The system automatically turns on
every time you switch the ignition on.
In certain situations we recommend that
you switch the system off, for example:
Driving off-road when objects may
cover the windshield.
Driving through a car wash facility.
BREAKING-IN
During the first 2000 miles (3000
kilometers), you may notice a ticking sound
when your vehicle slows down. This is due
to adjustments of your new diesel engine
and is normal.

ECONOMICAL DRIVING

The following will help to improve fuel
consumption.
Check your tire pressures regularly to
optimize fuel economy.
Gear Shifting
Use the highest drivable gear appropriate
for the road conditions.
Anticipation
Adjust your vehicle speed and the distance
to other vehicles without the need for heavy
braking or acceleration.
Efficient Speed
Higher speeds use more fuel. Reduce your
cruising speed on open roads.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING
Keep your hands and clothing clear
of the engine cooling fan.
Note: Under certain conditions, the fan may
continue to run for several minutes after you
have switched the engine off.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM
As a driver assistance feature, your vehicle
has a tire pressure monitoring system. A
warning lamp will illuminate when one or
more of the tires are significantly
under-inflated. If the low tire pressure
warning lamp illuminates, you should stop
your vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so,
check the tires and inflate them to the
correct pressure.
