Driving Ignition modes 1. Off - press and release the START/STOP button without applying the brake pedal (automatic transmission) or clutch pedal (manual transmission) when your vehicle is in on mode or when the engine is running. Note: In order to switch off the engine while the vehicle is in motion, press and hold the START/STOP button for at least one second, or press the START/STOP button three times within two seconds. Then, shift to neutral and use the brakes to bring the vehicle to a safe stop. After the vehicle has stopped, turn the engine off and shift into park. WARNING: Switching off the engine when the vehicle is still moving will result in a loss of brake and steering assistance. The steering will not be locked, but higher effort will be required. When the ignition is switched off some electrical circuits, warning lights and indicators may also be off. 2. On - press the START/STOP button without applying the brake pedal (automatic transmission) or clutch pedal (manual transmission). This will power your vehicle's electrical system and the warning lights in the instrument cluster will illuminate, but the engine will remain off. 3. Start - press the START/STOP button (for any length of time) while applying the brake pedal (automatic transmission) or clutch pedal (manual transmission). There may be areas inside your vehicle where the IA key is not detected. If the message KEY NOT DETECTED appears on your multifunction display when you press the START/STOP button, it may be necessary to move your IA key to another area within the vehicle. The IA key may not be detected near the roof (between the driver or passenger sunvisor and the roof, or in the overhead console area) or in the extreme corners of the rear package tray, near your audio speakers. It is not recommended that you stow the IA key in these locations. If you move the IA key to a location where it has been detected before and you still see the KEY NOT DETECTED message, your IA key's battery may be low or you may be in an area with excessive radio frequency interference. If this occurs, you can use the backup method to start your vehicle (see below). 263 2012 Focus (foc) Owners Guide, 5th Printing USA (fus)
