PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

MyKey allows you to program keys with

restricted driving modes to promote good

driving habits. All but one of the keys can

be activated with these restricted modes.

Any keys that remain unprogrammed are

referred to as administrator keys or admin

keys. They can be used to:

your vehicle, are forced on: parking aid

and Blind Spot Information System

(BLIS) with cross traffic alert.

•

Satellite radio adult content

restrictions, if equipped on your vehicle.

Pre-collision assist and Lane Departure

warning switches on every ignition

cycle, but can be switched off by the

MyKey user.

•

Create a MyKey.

Program configurable MyKey settings.

Clear all MyKey features.

Configurable Settings

With an admin key, you can configure

certain MyKey settings when you first

create a MyKey and before you recycle the

key or restart the engine. You can also

change the settings afterward with an

admin key.

When you have created a MyKey, you can

access the following information by using

the information display to determine:

•

How many admin keys and MyKeys are

programmed to your vehicle.

•

A vehicle speed limit can be set.

Warnings will be shown in the display

followed by an audible tone when your

vehicle reaches the set speed. You

cannot override the set speed by fully

depressing the accelerator pedal or by

setting cruise control.

•

The total distance your vehicle traveled

with a MyKey.

Note: Switch the ignition on to use the

system.

Note: All MyKeys are programmed to the

same settings. You cannot program them

individually.

Note: For vehicles equipped with a

push-button start, when both a MyKey and

an admin key are present, the admin key will

be recognized by the vehicle when you start

the vehicle.

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.

Non-configurable Settings

The following settings cannot be changed

by an admin key user:

•

Safety belt reminder. You cannot

disable this feature. The audio system

will mute when the front seat

passengers’ safety belts are not

fastened.

Early low fuel warning. The low-fuel

warning activates earlier, giving MyKey

users more time to refuel.

Number of MyKeys

CHECKING MYKEY SYSTEM

STATUS

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.

You can find information about your

programmed MyKeys by using the

information display. See Information

Displays (page 91).

Number of Admin Keys

MyKey Distance

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.

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.

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.
