The current Pentax AF lenses come in at least three flavours. In its simplest form, the camera needs to be switched to manual focus, and then "tweak".
With FA* lenses, all you have to do is pull the focus ring towards the camera house. A small, audible click, and you have manual focus. Move it back, and AF engages. With the newer lenses, like the DA series, you can touch-up the focus without disengaging anything, or pressing any buttons at all.
