Locks and Security Note: Large metallic objects, electronic devices that are used to purchase gasoline or similar items, or a second coded key on the same key chain may cause vehicle starting issues. You need to prevent these objects from touching the coded key while starting the engine. These objects will not cause damage to the coded key, but may cause a momentary issue if they are too close to the key when starting the engine. If a problem occurs, turn the ignition off, remove all objects on the key chain away from the coded key and restart the engine. Note: Do not leave a duplicate coded key in the vehicle. Always take your keys and lock all doors when leaving the vehicle. Automatic arming The vehicle is armed immediately after turning the ignition off. Automatic disarming Switching the ignition on with a coded key disarms the vehicle. Replacement of integrated keyhead transmitters (IKT) or intelligent access keys Note: Your vehicle comes equipped with two integrated keyhead transmitters (IKTs) or two intelligent access keys. The integrated keyhead transmitter (IKT) functions as both a programmed ignition key that operates all the locks and starts the vehicle, as well as a remote keyless entry transmitter. A maximum of eight coded keys and remote keys can be programmed to your vehicle. The intelligent access key functions as both a programmed key that operates the driver door lock, activates intelligent access with push button start systems as well as a remote keyless entry transmitter. A maximum of eight intelligent access keys can be programmed to your vehicle. If your programmed transmitters or standard SecuriLock coded keys (IKTs only) are lost or stolen and you don't have an extra coded key, you will need to have your vehicle towed to an authorized dealer. The key codes need to be erased from your vehicle and new coded keys will need to be programmed. Replacing coded keys can be very costly. Store an extra programmed key away from the vehicle in a safe place to help prevent any inconveniences. Please visit an authorized dealer to purchase additional spare or replacement keys. 170 2012 Focus (foc) Owners Guide, 5th Printing USA (fus)
