FOREWORD The emergency response procedures for the Focus Electric vehicles are similar to those for hybrid electric vehicles with the same considerations for the high-voltage electric system components. Focus Electric vehicles use an electric motor to power the vehicle. Electricity is stored in high-voltage battery packs.
ELECTRIC VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION Focus Electric vehicles can easily be identified by the “Electric” badges located on the left and right front doors. There is an “Electric” nameplate on the trunk lid that also in- cludes the green leaf/blue highway icon. Electric nameplate and icon on Electric nameplate and icon front doors.
ELECTRIC VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION - CONTINUED • The Focus Electric powertrain can be identified by the orange high-voltage underhood cabling. Orange high-voltage cabling from the high-voltage battery packs. • The 5th, 6th and 7th digits of the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) identify the Focus Electric line.
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE) SAFETY GEAR, INCLUDING HIGH VOLTAGE SAFETY GLOVES AND BOOTS. REMOVE ALL METALLIC jEWELRY, INCLUDING WATCHES AND RINGS. ISOLATE THE HIGH VOLTAGE SYSTEM AS DIRECTED BY THE FORD EMERGEN- CY RESPONSE GUIDE FOR THE VEHICLE. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INjURY OR DEATH.
HIGH-VOLTAGE WARNING DECALS • On Ford electric vehicles, WARNING decals are located on components in the high-voltage system throughout the vehicle. Please see example below. CU5A-14B218-FA FCS-21201-15 2015 Focus Electric Battery Removal Guide Page 6 of 38...

APPROACHING A DAMAGED HIGH-VOLTAGE VEHICLE - CONTINUED WARNING FIRES IN CRASH-DAMAGED ELECTRIC VEHICLES MAY EMIT TOxIC OR COMBUSTIBLE GASSES. SMALL AMOUNTS OF EYE, SKIN OR LUNG IRRITANTS MAY BE PRESENT. WEAR PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE) AND SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS WHEN WORKING IN CLOSE PROxIMITY OR IN A CONFINED AREA, SUCH AS A TUNNEL OR GARAGE.
APPROACHING A DAMAGED HIGH-VOLTAGE VEHICLE - CONTINUED 2. APPROACHING A DAMAGED VEHICLE • Disable the high-voltage electrical system using as many of the following steps as possible: — Secure the vehicle: Place the shift lever into the PARK position. Place the ignition in the OFF position to disconnect the high-voltage system.
APPROACHING A DAMAGED HIGH-VOLTAGE VEHICLE - CONTINUED 3. High-Voltage System - Do Not Cut zones • If possible, remove the high-voltage battery service disconnect(s) before attempting any extrication procedure. Always assume the high-voltage cabling and components are powered up. • If occupant extrication is necessary, always use caution when cutting near the vehicle high-voltage system components.
• Be alert. There is potential for delayed fire with damaged lithium-ion batteries. • Call an authorized Ford Dealer or vehicle manufacturer representative, if necessary, to determine additional steps that you should take to safely recover or transport the vehicle.
APPROACHING A DAMAGED HIGH-VOLTAGE VEHICLE - CONTINUED MOVING DAMAGED VEHICLES — WRECKER DRIVERS (CONTINUED) • Place vehicle into park, set the parking brake, turn off the vehicle, activate the hazard lights, and remove the key fobs to a distance at least 16 feet from the vehicle until loading the vehicle for transport.
