Hidden Menus and Shortcuts

In the Ford Focus, as in other models, there are hidden menus and key combinations, e.g. to relearn the windows, to learn TPMS manually or to get to the SYNC or on-board computer service menu. Here is a summary:

  2. Lower the window pane by holding the button down and keeping the button pressed for 3-4 seconds
  3. Hold button up. Window pane goes up and down all the way
  4. After the window pane is down again, press and hold the up button again until the window pane is up and continue to hold it down for 3-4 seconds
  5. Keep the button pressed down until the window is completely down and keep the button pressed for another 3-4 seconds
    If the window pane no longer moves up automatically, it must be reprogrammed. This can happen if, for example, the battery has been disconnected for too long.

Maintenance mode // Service mode parking brake

To change the rear brake discs or brake pads, the electric parking brake must first be released and put into maintenance or service mode. If you have an electric brake booster, this is also useful for the front brake, otherwise the on-board computer will display error messages.
