Get MyKey? -> Principle of Operation Guide for Ford Mustang 2 Door Sixth Generation (2015-2023)

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

MyKey allows you to program keys with

restricted driving modes to promote good

driving habits. All but one of the keys

programmed to the vehicle can be

activated with these restricted modes.

Any keys that have not been programmed

are referred to as administrator keys or

admin keys. These can be used to:

• Create a MyKey.

• Program configurable MyKey settings.

• Clear all MyKey features.

When you have programmed a MyKey, you

can access the following information using

the information display:

• How many admin keys and MyKeys are

programmed to your vehicle.

• The total distance your vehicle has

traveled using a MyKey.

Note: All MyKeys are programmed to the

same settings. You cannot program them

individually.

Note: For vehicles with intelligent access

with push-button start, when both a MyKey

and an admin intelligent access key fob are

present, the admin fob will be recognized

by the vehicle while switching the ignition

on to start the vehicle.

Non-configurable Settings

The following settings cannot be changed

by an admin key user:

• Seatbelt reminder. You cannot disable

this feature. The audio system will

mute when the front seat occupants’

seatbelts are not fastened.

• Early low fuel. The low-fuel warning

activates earlier, giving the MyKey user

more time to refuel.

• Driver assist features, if equipped on

your vehicle, are forced on: rear parking

aid, blind spot information system,

cross traffic alert, lane departure

warning, forward collision warning

system and restricted touchscreen

operation in some markets.

• Track Mode, if your vehicle has this

feature, it is restricted.

• Drag Strip, if your vehicle has this

feature, it is restricted.

• MyMode, if your vehicle has this

feature, it is restricted.

• Satellite radio adult content

restrictions, if this feature is available

in your market.

Note: You may be able to temporarily

disable the lane departure warning feature.

This feature is automatically enabled with

every new key cycle.

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 vehicle. You can also

change the settings afterward with an

admin key.

• 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.

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 minders can be

set. Once you select a speed, it will be

shown in the display, followed by an

audible tone when the preselected

vehicle speed is exceeded.

• Audio system maximum volume of

45%. A message will be shown in the

display when you attempt to exceed

the limited volume. Also, the

speed-sensitive or compensated

automatic volume control will be

disabled.

• Always on setting. When this is

selected, you will not be able to turn

off traction control, emergency assist,

do not disturb (if your vehicle is

equipped with these features), and

Sport Mode will not be available to

MyKey drivers.

CREATING A MYKEY

Use the information display to create a

MyKey:

1. Insert the key you want to program into

the ignition. See Starting a Gasoline

Engine (page 94). If your vehicle is

equipped with a push-button start,

place the remote control into the

backup slot. See Passive Anti-Theft

System (page 43).

2. Switch the ignition on.

3. Access the main menu in the

information display and then scroll

through the menus to change the

settings of your MyKey. From the

MyKey menu select the option Create

MyKey. See Information Displays

(page 66).

4. When prompted, hold the OK button

until you see a message informing you

to label this key as a MyKey. The

programmed restrictions apply when

you key off, open and close the driver

door and restart your vehicle with the

programmed key or transmitter.

MyKey is successfully created. 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/Changing Configurable

Settings.

Programming/Changing

Configurable Settings

Use the information display to access your

configurable MyKey settings.

1. Switch the ignition on using the key or

the 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 66).

3. Follow the instructions in the display.

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

will need an admin key to change or clear

your MyKey settings.
