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 disabling 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™.

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.
3. Follow Steps 1-4 in theCreate a MyKey™section.

WARNING:Do not drive
the vehicle when the third
row seat is rotated backwards.
During a sudden stop, the safety
belts are not functional in this
position, and during a sudden
stop, the third row seat can
rapidly tip back to the forward
position, all of which may result in
serious injury.
Third row power seats (if equipped)
The Third Row Seat features a power one-touch operation that allows
you to adjust the Left, Right, or Both seats into a NORMAL, STOW,
FOLD, or TAILGATE position with just one touch of a button. The third
row seat also includes obstacle detection that allows the seat to stop and
reverse direction if it hits an obstacle so that the obstacle can be
removed.
The third row power seat buttons are located behind the third row seats
on the left-hand quarter trim panel.
Note:The power fold seats work only when the vehicle is in P (Park)
and the tailgate is open. If the ignition is in the off position and the
feature is still running, the battery saver will turn it off after 10 minutes.
You can reactivate the power seats by pressing
on the remote entry
key fob or by using the unlock procedure on the keyless entry keypad.
Refer toSecuriCode™ keyless entry systemin theLocks and Security
chapter. Keeping the key in accessory or run positions will prevent the
feature from timing out.
