FORD 2012 Focus Electric - Manual (Page 277)

HIGH-VOLTAGE SHUTOFF
In the event of a crash:
• Take the same actions as you would take in a crash involving a
gasoline-powered vehicle — exit the vehicle safely or await the
assistance of an emergency responder if they are unable to get out on
their own, move a safe distance away from the vehicle, and notify the
authorities of the crash.
• If possible, inform emergency responders that the vehicle is electric
powered.
• Vehicle owners should not store a severely damaged vehicle in a
garage or near other vehicles.
The high-voltage shutoff operation shuts off power from the high voltage
battery after a collision, or if your vehicle receives a substantial physical
jolt.
To reactivate the vehicle after either event perform the following steps:
1. Press the POWER START/STOP button to power the vehicle on.
2. Press the POWER START/STOP button to power the vehicle off.
3. Press the POWER START/STOP button to power the vehicle on again.
Note: After completing this procedure the vehicle will detect if the
electrical system is safe and reactivate automatically. Once your vehicle
determines the electrical system safe you can start your vehicle as you
would normally by pressing the brake pedal in combination with the
POWER START/STOP button.
