Gearbox (SSG) w / Pre-Cog rocker gearshift controls, Using the Active Dynamics Panel situated in the center console
of the 12C's cockpit, the
characteristics of the SSG transmission can be switched through three different settings: Normal, Sport and Track modes, Each provide a progressive immediacy
of gear shift, operated through finger - tip controls mounted on a rocker behind the 12C steering wheel: upshift by either pulling w / the right hand or pushing w / the left, and vice versa to downshift, «Automatic» mode, «Launch Control» and «Winter» modes can also be selected on the Active Dynamics Panel, the latter changing all electronic functions to suit low grip conditions and delivering maximum driver aid and support
Regardless
of specification the Focus has one
of the most pleasant
manual gearboxes in the business, with a lovely light action and accuracy through the gate — both the five - speed
gearbox of lower powered petrol engines and the six - speeder
of the diesels have this
characteristic.
