is used. If mileage does not accumulate as expected, then the
MyKey™ is not being used by the intended user. The only way to
reset this odometer to zero is by clearing MyKey™. If this odometer is
lower than the last time you checked, then the MyKey™ system has
been recently cleared.
•# MYKEY(S) PROGRAMMED — Indicates how many MyKeys™ are
programmed to the vehicle. Can be used to detect deletion of a
MyKey™.
•# ADMIN KEYS PROGRAMMED — Indicates how many admin keys
are programmed to the vehicle. Can be used to detect if an additional
spare key has been programmed to the vehicle

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 please see
your authorized dealer for a Ford approved remote start system.
When using a Ford-approved remote start system, the default settings
will recognize the remote start system as an additional admin key with
its associated privileges. You should program the remote start system as
a MyKey™ in addition to the key that you have already programmed as a
MyKey™. To program the remote start system as MyKey™, do the
following:
1. Enter the vehicle and close all doors.
2. Remote start the vehicle using a remote start fob.
