GENERAL INFORMATION Condensation in Lamp Assemblies Exterior lamps have vents to accommodate normal changes in air pressure. Condensation can be a natural by-product of this design. When moist air enters the lamp assembly through the vents, there is a possibility that condensation can occur when the temperature is cold. When normal condensation occurs, a fine mist can form on the interior of the lens. The fine mist eventually clears and exits through the vents during normal operation. Clearing time may take as long as 48 hours under dry weather conditions. Examples of acceptable condensation are: • The presence of a fine mist (no streaks, drip marks or large droplets). • A fine mist covers less than 50% of the lens. Examples of unacceptable condensation are: • A water puddle inside the lamp. • Streaks, drip marks or large droplets present on the interior of the lens. If you see any unacceptable condensation, have your vehicle checked by an authorized dealer. LIGHTING CONTROL OffA Parking lamps, instrument panel lamps, license plate lamps and tail lamps B Headlamps C High Beams Push the lever forward to switch the high beams on. Push the lever forward again or pull the lever toward you to switch the high beams off. 74 Focus (CDH) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing LightingE142449 E162679

Headlamp Flasher Pull the lever toward you slightly and release it to flash the headlamps. AUTOLAMPS (If Equipped) WARNING The autolamps switch position may not activate the headlamps in all low visibility conditions, such as daytime fog. Always ensure that your headlamps are switched to auto or on, as appropriate, during all low visibility conditions. Failure to do so may result in a collision. When the lighting control is in the autolamps position, the headlamps automatically turn on in low light situations or when the wipers activate. If equipped, the following also activate when the lighting control is in the autolamps position and you switch them on in the information display: • Configurable daytime running lamps. • Automatic high beam control. • Adaptive headlamp control. The headlamps remain on for a period of time after you switch the ignition off. Use the information display controls to adjust the period of time that the headlamps remain on. See Information Displays (page 91). Note: With the headlamps in the autolamps position, you cannot switch the high beam headlamps on until the autolamps system turns the low beam headlamps on. Windshield Wiper Activated Headlamps The windshield wiper activated headlamps turn on within 10 seconds when you switch the windshield wipers on and the lighting control is in the autolamps position. They turn off approximately 60 seconds after you switch the windshield wipers off. The headlamps will not turn on by wiper activation: • During a mist wipe. • When the wipers are on to clear washer fluid during a wash condition. • If the wipers are in intermittent mode. Note: If you switch autolamps and autowipers on, the headlamps will automatically turn on when the windshield wipers continuously operate. 75 Focus (CDH) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing LightingE162680 E142451

INSTRUMENT LIGHTING DIMMER Note: You disable the manual dimmer when you adjust the setting to Auto Dimming in the information display. See Information Displays (page 91). Note: If you disconnect the battery or it becomes discharged, the illuminated components will switch to the maximum setting. Press repeatedly or press and hold until you reach the desired level. HEADLAMP EXIT DELAY After you switch the ignition off, you can switch the headlamps on by pulling the direction indicator lever toward you. You will hear a short tone. The headlamps will switch off automatically after three minutes with any door open or 30 seconds after the last door has been closed. You can cancel this feature by pulling the direction indicator toward you again or switching the ignition on. DAYTIME RUNNING LAMPS WARNING The daytime running lamps system does not activate the rear lamps and may not provide adequate lighting during low visibility driving conditions. Also, the autolamps switch position may not activate the headlamps in all low visibility conditions, such as daytime fog. Make sure the headlamps are switched to auto or on, as appropriate, during all low visibility conditions. Failure to do so may result in a crash. Type 1 - Conventional (Non- Configurable) The daytime running lamps turn on when: 1. The ignition is switched to the on position. 2. The transmission is not in park (P) for vehicles with automatic transmissions or the parking brake is released for vehicles with manual transmissions. 3. The lighting control is in the off, parking lamp or autolamps positions. 4. The headlamps are off. Type 2 - Configurable Switch the daytime running lamps on or off using the information display controls. See Information Displays (page 91). The daytime running lamps turn on when: 1. They are switched on in the information display. See Information Displays (page 91). 2. The ignition is switched to the on position. 3. The transmission is not in park (P) for vehicles with automatic transmissions or the parking brake is released for vehicles with manual transmissions. 76 Focus (CDH) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing LightingE161902

4. The lighting control is in the autolamps position. 5. The headlamps are off. The other lighting control switch positions do not activate the daytime running lamps, and you can use them to temporarily override autolamp control. When switched off in the information display, the daytime running lamps are off in all lighting control switch positions. AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM CONTROL (If Equipped) The system automatically turns on the high beams if it is dark enough and no other traffic is present. When it detects the headlights of an approaching vehicle, the rear lamps of the preceding vehicle or street lighting, the system turns off the high beams before they distract other drivers. The low beams remain on. Note: If it appears that automatic high beam is not functioning properly, check the windshield in front of the camera for a blockage. A clear view of the road is required for proper system operation. Make sure that authorized personnel repair any windshield damage in the area of the camera's field of view. Note: If the system detects a blockage such as bird droppings, bug splatter, snow or ice, and you do not observe changes, the system may go into low beam mode until you clear the blockage. A message may also appear in the information display noting the front camera is blocked. Note: Typical road dust, dirt and water spots do not affect the performance of the automatic high beam control. However, in cold or inclement weather conditions, you may notice a decrease in the availability of the automatic high beam control, especially at start up. If you want to change the beam state independently of the system, you may switch the high beams on or off using the lighting control switch. Automatic high beam control resumes when conditions are correct. Note: Modification of your vehicle ride height such as using much larger tires, may degrade feature performance. A camera sensor, centrally mounted behind the windshield of your vehicle, continuously monitors conditions to decide when to switch the high beams off and on. Once the system is active, the high beams switch on if: • The ambient light level is low enough. • There is no traffic in front of the vehicle. • The vehicle speed is greater than 31 mph (50 km/h) . The high beams switch off if: • The system detects the headlamps of an approaching vehicle or the rear lamps of a preceding vehicle. • Vehicle speed falls below 26 mph (42 km/h). • The ambient light level is high enough that high beams are not required. • The system detects severe rain, snow or fog. • The camera is blocked. Activating the System Switch on the system in the information display and switch the lighting control to the autolamps position. See Information Displays (page 91). See Autolamps (page 75). 77 Focus (CDH) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing Lighting
