Ford Focus Owners Manual: Coded keys
Note: Do not shield your keys with metal objects. This may prevent the receiver from recognising your key as a valid one.
Note: Have all of your remaining keys erased and recoded if you lose a key. Ask your dealer for further information. Have replacement keys recoded together with your existing keys.
If you lose a key, you can obtain a replacement from your Ford Dealer. If possible, provide them with the key number from the tag provided with the original keys. You can also obtain additional keys from your Ford Dealer.
