GENERAL INFORMATION ON
RADIO FREQUENCIES
This device complies with Part 15 of the
FCC Rules and with Industry Canada
license-exempt RSS standard(s).
Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) This device may not cause
harmful interference, and (2) This device
must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
Note:
Changes or modifications not
expressively approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the
user's authority to operate the equipment.
The term IC before the radio certification
number only signifies that Industry Canada
technical specifications were met.
The typical operating range for your
transmitter is approximately 33 feet (10
meters). Vehicles with the remote start
feature will have a greater range. One of
the following could cause a decrease in
operating range:
• weather conditions
• nearby radio towers
• structures around the vehicle
• other vehicles parked next to your
vehicle
The radio frequency used by your remote
control can also be used by other short
distance radio transmissions, for example
amateur radios, medical equipment,
wireless headphones, remote controls and
alarm systems. If the frequencies are
jammed, you will not be able to use your
remote control. You can lock and unlock
the doors with the key.
Note: Make sure to lock your vehicle before
leaving it unattended.
Note: If you are in range, the remote control
will operate if you press any button
unintentionally. Note:
The remote control contains sensitive
electrical components. Exposure to moisture
or impact may cause permanent damage.
REMOTE CONTROL - VEHICLES
WITH: INTEGRATED KEY
TRANSMITTER
Integrated Keyhead Transmitter (If
Equipped) Use the key blade to start your vehicle and
unlock or lock the driver door from outside
your vehicle. The buttons on the key
operate the remote control.
Note:
Your vehicle keys came with a
security label that provides important key
cut information. Keep the label in a safe
place for future reference.

Programming a New Remote
Control
To program an additional remote control
See Security (page 71).
Reprogramming the Unlocking
Function
Note: When you press the unlock button,
either all the doors are unlocked or only the
driver door is unlocked. Pressing the unlock
button again unlocks all the doors.
Press and hold the unlock and lock buttons
on the remote control simultaneously for
at least four seconds with the ignition off.
The direction indicators flash twice to
confirm the change.
To return to the original unlocking function,
repeat the process.
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.
2. Remove the old battery. 3. Insert the new battery. Refer to the
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
recommend you use this method to locate
your vehicle, rather than using the panic
alarm.
The horn sounds twice and the direction
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 ignition is on.
• The alarm system activates.
• You turn off the feature.
• The hood is open.
• The transmission is not in park (P).
• Your vehicle battery has no charge.
• The powertrain fault indicator was on
the last time you drove your vehicle.
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.

remote controls from an authorized dealer.
Authorized dealers can program remote
controls for your vehicle.

Anti-Theft System (page 71).
