will need an admin key to change or clear
your MyKey settings.

Note: When you make any changes to your
MyKey settings, you change the settings for
every MyKey. You cannot make individual
changes to apply to certain MyKeys.

CHECKING MYKEY SYSTEM
STATUS

You can find information about your
programmed MyKeys by using the
information display.  See Information
Displays (page 80).

MyKey Distance

Tracks the distance when drivers use a
MyKey. The only way to delete the
accumulated distance is by using an admin
key to clear all MyKeys. If the distance does
not accumulate as expected, then the
intended user is not using the MyKey, or an
admin key user recently cleared and then
recreated a MyKey.

Number of MyKeys

Indicates the number of MyKeys
programmed to your vehicle. Use this
feature to detect how many MyKeys you
have for your vehicle and determine when
all MyKeys have been deleted.

Number of Admin Keys

Indicates how many admin keys are
programmed to your vehicle. Use this
feature to determine how many admin
keys you have for your vehicle, and detect
if an additional MyKey has been
programmed.

USING MYKEY WITH REMOTE
START SYSTEMS

Vehicles With Ford-Approved
Aftermarket Remote Start
Systems

When using a Ford-approved aftermarket
remote start system, the vehicle recognizes
the remote start system transmitter as an
additional admin key. It is the vehicle’s
default setting.

When you start your vehicle with a
Ford-approved aftermarket remote start
system transmitter, the system shuts the
vehicle off after you open the door or shift
your vehicle into gear. This is intentional.
When you restart your vehicle, it reads the
vehicle key fob status instead of the
remote start system transmitter status.

With a Ford-approved aftermarket remote
start system, it is possible to program all
key fobs as MyKeys unintentionally. If this
happens, then the remote start system
transmitter is the admin key. If you want
to have only one key fob as a MyKey, or do
not want to have any MyKeys, then you
need to use your remote start system
transmitter to clear all MyKeys. In that
case, follow these steps:

1.

Enter your vehicle and close all doors.

2. Start your vehicle using your remote

start system transmitter.

3. See Clearing All MyKeys (page 50).

Follow Steps 1-3.

After clearing your MyKeys, you can create
a new MyKey.  See Creating a MyKey
(page 49).

Note: With push-button start, you cannot
program the remote start system
transmitter as a MyKey. Always treat the
remote start system transmitter as you
would any other admin key.
