Changing the Remote Control
Battery
The remote control uses one coin-type
three-volt lithium battery CR2032 or
equivalent. Make sure that you dispose of
old batteries in an
environmentally friendly way.
Seek advice from your local authority
about recycling old batteries. 1. Twist a thin coin in the slot of the
transmitter near the key ring to remove
the battery cover.

symbols inside the transmitter for the
correct orientation of the battery.
Press the battery down to make sure
it is fully in the housing.
4. Reinstall the battery housing cover onto the transmitter.
Note: Do not wipe off any grease on the
battery terminals or on the back surface of
the circuit board.
Note: Replacing the battery does not erase
the programmed key from your vehicle.
Locating Your Vehicle
Press the lock button on the key twice
within three seconds. The horn sounds and
the direction indicators flash. We

indicators do not flash if:
• Locking was not successful.
• Any door or the liftgate is open.
• The hood is open on vehicles with an
anti-theft alarm or remote start.

Focus (CDH), enUSA, First Printing Keys and Remote ControlsE107998 E142432 E138622 E138624 E138625

Vehicles with automatic climate control
can be configured to operate when your
vehicle is remote started. See Automatic
Climate Control (page 108).
Many states and provinces have
restrictions for the use of remote start.
Check your local and state or provincial
laws for specific requirements regarding
remote start systems.
Note: Do not use remote start if your vehicle
is low on fuel.
The remote start system does not work if
any of the following occur:

• The alarm system activates.
• You turn off the feature.
• The hood is open.

Remote Starting your Vehicle
Note: You must press each button within
three seconds of each other. If you do not
follow this sequence, your vehicle does not
start remotely, the direction indicators do
not flash twice and the horn does not sound. The label on your transmitter details the
starting procedure.
To remote start your vehicle:
1. Press the lock button to lock all the
doors. 2. Press the remote start button twice.
The direction indicators flash twice.
The horn sounds if the system fails to start,
unless quiet start is on. Quiet start runs the
blower fan at a slower speed to reduce
noise. You can switch it on or off using the
information display. See
(page 96).
The power windows do not work during
remote start and the radio does not turn
on automatically.
The parking lamps remain on and your
vehicle runs for 5, 10 or 15 minutes,
depending on the setting.
Note: If you remote start your vehicle with
an intelligent access transmitter, you must
press the push button ignition switch on the
instrument panel once while applying the
brake pedal before driving your vehicle.
Extending the Engine Running Time
To extend the engine running time duration
of your vehicle during remote start, repeat
steps 1 and 2 while the engine is running.
For example, if your vehicle had been
running from the first remote start for 5
minutes, your vehicle continues to run now
for a total of 20 minutes. If the duration is
set to 10 minutes, the duration extends by
another 10 minutes. You can extend the
engine running time duration to a
maximum of 30 minutes.
Wait at least five seconds before remote
starting after a vehicle shutdown.
Turning Your Vehicle Off After Remote
Starting Press the button once. The
parking lamps turn off.
You may have to be closer to
your vehicle than when starting due to
ground reflection and the added noise of
the running vehicle.
