CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65
WARNING:Some constituents of engine exhaust, certain vehicle
components, certain fluids contained in vehicles and certain
products of component wear contain or emit chemicals known to the
State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm.
PERCHLORATE MATERIAL
Note:Certain components in your vehicle such as airbag modules, safety
belt pretensioners, and remote control batteries may contain perchlorate
material. Special handling may apply for service or vehicle end of life
disposal. See www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate for more
information.
Breaking-in your vehicle
Your vehicle does not need an extensive break-in. Try not to drive
continuously at the same speed for the first 1,000 miles (1,600 km) of
new vehicle operation. Vary your speed frequently in order to give the
moving parts a chance to break in.
ELECTRIC VEHICLE OPERATION
This electric vehicle operates entirely from electricity stored in the
on-board high voltage battery pack. There is no internal combustion
engine as in a typical vehicle or hybrid electric vehicle, which leads to
unique operating characteristics. Familiarizing yourself with these unique
characteristics will help ensure optimal performance from your new
vehicle.
Normal vehicle operation
Starting:The vehicle is equipped with a Passive Entry, Passive Start
(PEPS) system. The key fob must be inside the vehicle in order to start
the vehicle. Press the start button while your vehicle is in P (Park) with
your foot on the brake pedal. The startup sequence will display on the
cluster and 8 inch center stack screen and the green ready to drive
indicator light will appear in the instrument cluster, letting you know
that the vehicle is ready for driving.
Driving:The electric vehicle driver controls operate the same as a
traditional automobile and the vehicle is designed to be driven in the full
range of traffic and weather conditions. You will likely notice the lack of
sound when driving the electric vehicle which is due to the lack of an
internal combustion engine.

INTELLIGENT ACCESS KEY (IA KEY)
Your vehicle is equipped with two
intelligent access keys which
operate the power locks and the
remote entry system. You have to
have the IA key in the vehicle to
activate the push button start
system.
The IA key also contains a removable
mechanical key blade that can be
used to unlock the driver door. To
release the mechanical key blade,
press the release buttons on the edge
of the transmitter and remove the
key blade.
Your IA keys are programmed to your vehicle. You cannot enter or start
your vehicle with an unprogrammed key. If you lose one or both of your
IA keys, replacements are available from your authorized dealer. For
more information on programming replacement IA keys, refer to the
SecuriLockpassive anti-theft systemsection in this chapter.
Note:Your vehicle’s IA backup keys
were issued with a security tag that
provides important vehicle key cut
information. It is recommended that
you keep the tag in a safe place for
future reference.
MYKEY
MyKey allows you to program keys with restricted driving modes to
promote good driving habits. All but one of the keys programmed to the
vehicle can be activated with these restricted modes. Any keys that have
not been programmed are referred to as an “administrator key” or
“admin key” which can be used to:
•create a restricted key
•program optional MyKey settings
•clear all MyKey features altogether.

in which a MyKey was created, otherwise an admin key is required to
clear the keys.
To clear all MyKeys (which removes all restrictions and returns them to
admin key status), use the information display control to do the
following:
1. Access the main menu and select Settings, then MyKey.
2. Scroll to Clear All and press the OK button.

used by the intended user. The only way to reset this to zero is by
resetting the keys. If the mileage is lower than the last time you
checked, then the key system has been recently reset.
•# MYKEY(S):Indicates how many restricted keys are programmed
to the vehicle. Can also be used to detect deletion of a restricted key.
•# ADMIN KEY(S):Indicates how many admin keys are programmed
to the vehicle. Can also be used to detect if an additional key has
been programmed to the vehicle.
Using MyKey with Remote Start Systems
MyKey is NOT compatible with non-Ford-approved aftermarket remote
start systems. If you choose to install a remote start system please see
your Ford authorized dealer for a Ford-approved remote start system.
The following information MAY help customers who choose to use a
non-Ford-approved remote start system. The actions provided below do
NOT make MyKey compatible with non-Ford-approved remote start
system, but it MAY help you to retain some MyKey functions.
Vehicles Equipped with Traditional Keys
When using a non-Ford-approved remote start system, the default
settings may recognize the remote start system as an additional admin
key with its associated privileges. This makes it NOT compatible with
MyKey. Restart the vehicle when you insert a key into the ignition
cylinder it may help you to retain some MyKey functions.
In addition to the key that has been programmed as a MyKey, owners of
vehicles equipped with traditional keys have the option to program the
non-Ford-approved remote start system as a MyKey if the remote start
fob is used by the MyKey driver.
To program a non-Ford-approved remote start system as a MyKey, do the
following:
1. Enter the vehicle and close all doors.
2. Remote start the vehicle using a non-Ford approved remote start fob.
3. Follow Steps 1-5 in theCreating a MyKeysection.
Vehicles Equipped with Intelligent Access Key (Push Button Start)
Note:It is not possible to program the remote start system as a MyKey
on vehicles equipped with intelligent access key (push button start).
Therefore, you should treat the remote start fob as you would any other
admin key. When the vehicle is started using remote start, the system
will stall the vehicle when you either enter the vehicle or shift the
vehicle into gear. Prior to the stall, the vehicle will have administrative
156Locks and Security
2013 Focus Electric Vehicle(fob)
Owners Guide gf, 1st Printing
USA(fus)

privileges. When you restart the vehicle, the vehicle will identify the user
as an admin or MyKey driver depending on the settings of the actual key
used to start the vehicle.
Note:For all vehicles, the number of MYKEY(S) PROGRAMMED or
ADMIN KEYS PROGRAMMED that is displayed in the MyKey system
status menus may include the non-Ford-approved remote start system as
an additional key in the total count. See theChecking system status
section.
For all vehicles with a non-Ford-approved remote start installed, it is
possible to program all “real” keys as MyKeys, in which case, you will
need to use your remote start system to clear all MyKeys (which
removes all restrictions and returns them to admin key status) by doing
the following:
1. Enter the vehicle and close all doors.
2. Remote start the vehicle using your non-Ford-approved remote start
fob.
3. Follow Steps 1-3 in theClearing all keyssection.

•arm and disarm the perimeter anti-theft system.
•activate the panic alarm.
•operate the illuminated entry feature.
•remotely start the vehicle.
The remote entry lock/unlock feature operates in any power mode
except when the vehicle is running and vehicle speed is more than
4 mph (7 km/h).
If there are problems with the remote entry system, make sure to take
ALL intelligent access keyswith you to the authorized dealer in order
to aid in troubleshooting the problem.
Intelligent access
The intelligent access system uses a radio frequency (RF) signal to
communicate with your vehicle and authorize your vehicle to unlock
when commanded (either by touching the inside of any exterior door
handle, the luggage compartment handle, or a button on the transmitter
itself). If excessive RF interference is present in the area, or if your
vehicle battery is low, it may be necessary to mechanically unlock your
door. The mechanical key blade in your IA key can be used to open the
driver’s door in this situation (refer toIntelligent access keyin this
chapter for more information on the location and use of the mechanical
key blade).
Your vehicle will allow you to unlock and enter your vehicle without
actively using a key or transmitter. You can use the intelligent access
feature at any door or at the liftgate. You can activate the intelligent
access feature as long as you have one of your IA keys within range of
the front doors or the liftgate.
Activating intelligent access at
the doors:If your IA key is within
3 feet (1 meter) of the doors you can
activate your intelligent access
system by touching the inside of any
exterior door handle. The door(s) will
automatically unlock and the door
can be opened.
To lock the doors, press the lock area (black spot) on either front door
handle.
