Keys and Remote Controls

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

MyKey allows you to program keys with
restricted driving modes to promote good
driving habits. You can program the
restrictions to all keys except one. Any keys
that you did not program are administrator
keys or admin keys.

You can use admin keys to:
•

Create a MyKey with certain vehicle
restrictions.

•

Program certain MyKey settings.

•

Clear all MyKey restrictions.

After you program a MyKey, you can view
the following information through the
information display:
•

The total number of admin keys and
MyKeys for your vehicle.

•

The total distance a MyKey driver
traveled with your vehicle.

Note:

Every MyKey receives the same

restrictions and settings. You cannot
program them individually.

Note:

For vehicles equipped with a

push-button start switch: When both a
MyKey and an admin key are present when
you start your vehicle, the system recognizes
the admin key only.

Standard Settings

Not every vehicle includes the features
listed below. If your vehicle has this
equipment, then you cannot change the
following settings when using a MyKey:
•

Seatbelt reminder or Belt-Minder™.
MyKey mutes the audio system until
drivers, and in some instances,
passengers, fasten their seatbelts.

Note:

If your vehicle includes an

AM/FM radio or a very basic audio
system, then the radio may not mute.

•

Earlier low-fuel warning. The low-fuel
warning activates earlier for MyKey
drivers, giving them more time to refuel.

•

Certain driver alerts, stability systems
or parking aids turn on automatically
when you use the MyKey system. For
example, Blind Spot Information
System (BLIS), cross traffic alert, lane
departure warning or forward collision
warning.

Note:

MyKey drivers may be

able to turn the lane departure warning
feature off, but this feature turns back
on automatically with every new key
cycle.

•

Restricted touchscreen operation in
some markets. For example, MyKey
may prevent manual navigation
destination input while the vehicle is in
any gear other than park (P) or when
the vehicle reaches a certain rate of
speed.

•

Satellite radio adult content
restrictions, if this feature is available
in your market.

Optional Settings

You can configure certain vehicle feature
settings when you first create a MyKey. You
can also change the settings afterward
with an admin key.

MyKey™

Note:

Not every feature applies to every

vehicle in every market. When they are
available for your vehicle, then they appear
in your information display, providing
choices to switch them on or off, or to select
a more specific setting.

•

Various vehicle speed limits so the
MyKey driver cannot exceed certain
speeds. The information display shows
warnings followed by an audible tone
when the MyKey driver reaches the set
speed. You cannot override the set
speed by fully depressing the
accelerator pedal.

WARNING:

Do not set MyKey

maximum speed limit to a limit that will
prevent the driver from maintaining a
safe speed considering posted speed
limits and prevailing road conditions. The
driver is always responsible to drive in
accordance with local laws and
prevailing conditions. Failure to do so
could result in accident or injury.

•

Various vehicle speed reminders so
MyKey drivers know when their vehicle
speed approaches the limits. Warnings
appear in your information display and
a tone sounds when the MyKey drivers
exceed the set vehicle speed.

•

The audio system's maximum volume
limits to 45% so MyKey drivers can
concentrate on the road. A message
appears in the information display
when MyKey drivers attempt to exceed
the limited volume. MyKey also
disables the automatic volume control.

Note:

If your vehicle includes an

AM/FM radio or a very basic audio
system, then the radio may not limit.

•

Always on setting. This setting forces
certain features to remain on and
active for MyKey drivers. For example,
E911 or emergency assistance and the
do not disturb features stay on even if
a MyKey driver uses the feature's
control to switch it off. When selected,
you will not be able to turn off Advance
Trac or traction control (if your vehicle
has this feature).

CREATING A MYKEY

(page 96).

MyKey™

4. Select

Yes

if you want to create the

key as MyKey. A confirmation message
appears on the screen.

5. Switch the ignition off.

You successfully created a MyKey. Make
sure you label it so you can distinguish it
from the admin keys.

You can also program configurable
settings for the key(s). See

Programming and Changing
Configurable Settings

Use the information display to access your
configurable MyKey settings.

Switch the ignition on using an admin
key or transmitter you want to program.

2. Access the main menu in the

information display and then scroll
through the menus to change the
settings of your MyKey. See

Information Displays

(page 96).

3. Follow the instructions in the display.

The programmed restrictions apply
when you switch the vehicle off, open
and close the driver door and restart
your vehicle with the programmed key
or transmitter.

Note:

You can clear or change your MyKey

settings at any time during the same key
cycle as you created the MyKey. Once you
have switched the vehicle off, however, you
need an admin key to change or clear your
MyKey settings. 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.

CLEARING ALL MYKEYS

When you clear your MyKeys, you remove
all restrictions and return all MyKeys to
their original admin key status at once. To
clear all MyKeys of all MyKey settings, use
the information display.

Switch the ignition on using an admin
key.

2. Access the main menu in the

information display and then scroll
through the menus to begin clearing
your MyKey programming. See

Information Displays

(page 96).

3. Follow the instructions in the display.

4. A confirmation message appears in the

display after you finish clearing your
MyKeys.

Note:

When you clear your MyKeys, you

remove all restrictions and return all MyKeys
to their original admin key status. You
cannot remove the MyKey restrictions
individually.

CHECKING MYKEY SYSTEM
STATUS

You can find information about your
programmed MyKeys by using the
information display. See

Information

Displays

(page 96).

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.

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

MyKey is not compatible with non
Ford-approved, aftermarket remote start
systems. If you choose to install a remote
start system, see an authorized dealer for
a Ford-approved remote start system.

PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT
SYSTEM

Note:

The system is not compatible with

non-Ford aftermarket remote start systems.
Use of these systems could result in vehicle
starting problems and a loss of security
protection.

Note:

Metallic objects, electronic devices

or a second coded key on the same key
chain could cause vehicle starting problems
if they are too close to the key when starting
the engine. Prevent these objects from
touching the coded key while starting the
engine. Switch the ignition off, move all
objects on the key chain away from the
coded key and restart the engine if a
problem occurs.

Note:

Do not leave a duplicate coded key

in the vehicle. Always take your keys and
lock all doors when leaving the vehicle.

SecuriLock®

The system is an engine immobilization
system. It helps to prevent anyone from
starting the engine without using a coded
key programmed to your vehicle. Using the
wrong key could prevent the engine from
starting. A message may appear in the
information display.

If you are unable to start the engine with a
correctly coded key, there is a problem with
the system and a message could appear
in the information display.

Automatic Arming

The vehicle arms immediately after you
switch the ignition off.

Automatic Disarming

Switching the ignition on with a coded key
disarms the vehicle.

Replacement Keys

Note:

Your vehicle comes with two

integrated keyhead transmitters or two
intelligent access keys.

The integrated keyhead transmitter
functions as a programmed ignition key
that operates all the locks and starts the
vehicle, as well as a remote control.

The intelligent access key functions as a
programmed key that operates the driver
door lock and activates the intelligent
access with push button start system, as
well as a remote control.

If your programmed transmitters or
standard SecuriLock coded keys
(integrated keyhead transmitters only) are
lost or stolen and you do not have an extra
coded key, you will need to have your
vehicle towed to an authorized dealer. You
need to erase the key codes from your
vehicle and program new coded keys.

Store an extra programmed key away from
the vehicle in a safe place to help prevent
any inconveniences. See your authorized
dealer to purchase additional spare or
replacement keys.
