Driving longer present. This message is a reminder that someone else in the vehicle may have taken the IA key when exiting the vehicle. If the IA key is no longer present in the vehicle, you will not be able to re-start your vehicle outside of the Fast Restart time (see Fast Restart Feature above). It is important to be aware of where your IA key is located in the vehicle, to avoid becoming stranded without an IA key. Stopping the Engine When Your Vehicle is Stationary To stop the engine with the vehicle stationary, do the following: 1. Move the transmission selector lever to position P. 2. Press the start button. Note: The ignition, all electrical circuits, warning lamps and indicators are switched off. Stopping the Engine When Your Vehicle is Moving 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 lamps and indicators may also be off. 1. Press the start button for one second, or press it three times within two seconds. 2. Move the transmission selector lever to position N and use the brakes to bring your vehicle to a safe stop. 3. When your vehicle has stopped, move the transmission selector lever to position P. Fast Restart If a valid key is not present, the fast restart feature allows you to restart your vehicle within 10 seconds of switching it off. Press the brake pedal and press the start button within 10 seconds. After 10 seconds have expired, you can no longer start your vehicle without the key present inside the vehicle. Once your vehicle has started, it remains running until you press the start button, even if a valid key has not been detected. If you open and close a door while your vehicle is running, the system searches for a valid key. You cannot start your vehicle if a valid key is not detected within 10 seconds. 265 2012 Focus (foc) Owners Guide, 5th Printing USA (fus)
