Note that using the correct type and brand of key fob battery is very important. Despite being the correct type many key fob batteries will only work for a very short time before the low key battery warning message appears again.  This is a known habit of the Focus MK3 Keyless Start system. Ford even prescribes certain brands/types of batteries to avoid problems.

Batteries supplied by a Ford dealer will be a bit more expensive but they also last a lot longer.
