Brake Fluid Check; Washer Fluid Check; Changing The 12V Battery - Ford FOCUS ELECTRIC 2014 Owner's Manual

Whenever coolant has been added, the
coolant level in the coolant reservoir
should be checked the next few times you
drive the vehicle. If necessary, add enough
prediluted coolant to bring the coolant
level to the correct level.

BRAKE FLUID CHECK

WARNINGS
Do not use any fluid other than the
recommended brake fluid as this will
reduce brake efficiency. Use of
incorrect fluid could result in the loss of
vehicle control, serious personal injury or
death.
Only use brake fluid from a sealed
container. Contamination with dirt,
water, petroleum products or other
materials may result in brake system
damage or failure. Failure to adhere to this
warning could result in the loss of vehicle
control, serious personal injury or death.
Do not allow the fluid to touch your
skin or eyes. If this happens, rinse the
affected areas immediately with
plenty of water and contact your physician.
A fluid level between the MAX and
MIN lines is within the normal
operating range and there is no need
to add fluid. A fluid level not in the normal
operating range could compromise the
performance of the system. Have your
vehicle checked immediately.

Maintenance
Only use fluid that meets Ford
specifications.

WASHER FLUID CHECK

When adding fluid, use a mixture of washer
fluid and water to help prevent freezing in
cold weather and improve the cleaning
capability. For information on fluid dilution,
refer to the product instructions.
Note: The reservoir supplies the front and
rear washer systems.

CHANGING THE 12V BATTERY

For vehicles with Start-Stop the
battery requirement is different. You
must replace the battery with one of
exactly the same specification.
The battery is located in the engine
compartment. See Maintenance (page
134).
Note: You must reset the bounce-back
feature for the power windows. See Power
Windows (page 53).
