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 Ford authorized dealer for a Ford-approved remote start system.
The following information MAY help customers who choose to use a
non-Ford-approved remote start system. The actions provided below do
NOT make MyKey compatible with non-Ford-approved remote start
system, but it MAY help you to retain some MyKey functions.
Vehicles Equipped with Traditional Keys
When using a non-Ford-approved remote start system, the default
settings may recognize the remote start system as an additional admin
key with its associated privileges. This makes it NOT compatible with
MyKey. Restart the vehicle when you insert a key into the ignition
cylinder it may help you to retain some MyKey functions.
In addition to the key that has been programmed as a MyKey, owners of
vehicles equipped with traditional keys have the option to program the
non-Ford-approved remote start system as a MyKey if the remote start
fob is used by the MyKey driver.
To program a non-Ford-approved remote start system as a MyKey, do the
following:
1. Enter the vehicle and close all doors.
2. Remote start the vehicle using a non-Ford approved remote start fob.
3. Follow Steps 1-5 in the Creating a MyKeysection.
Vehicles Equipped with Intelligent Access Key (Push Button Start)
Note: It is not possible to program the remote start system as a MyKey
on vehicles equipped with intelligent access key (push button start).
Therefore, you should treat the remote start fob as you would any other
admin key. When the vehicle is started using remote start, the system
will stall the vehicle when you either enter the vehicle or shift the
vehicle into gear. Prior to the stall, the vehicle will have administrative
privileges. When you restart the vehicle, the vehicle will identify the user
as an admin or MyKey driver depending on the settings of the actual key
used to start the vehicle.

Note:For all vehicles, the number of MYKEY(S) PROGRAMMED or
ADMIN KEYS PROGRAMMED that is displayed in the MyKey system
status menus may include the non-Ford-approved remote start system as
an additional key in the total count. See the Checking system status
section.
For all vehicles with a non-Ford-approved remote start installed, it is
possible to program all “real” keys as MyKeys, in which case, you will
need to use your remote start system to clear all MyKeys (which
removes all restrictions and returns them to admin key status) by doing
the following:
1. Enter the vehicle and close all doors.
2. Remote start the vehicle using your non-Ford-approved remote start fob.
3. Follow Steps 1-3 in the Clearing all keyssection.

REMOTE ENTRY SYSTEM
FCC ID: LXP-RX4318 IC: 2298A-RX4318
The intelligent access keys (IA key) comply with part 15 of the FCC
rules and with RSS-210 of Industry Canada. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment.
The typical operating range for your transmitter is approximately 33 feet
(10 meters). A decrease in operating range could be caused by:
• weather conditions,
• nearby radio towers,
• structures around the vehicle, or
• other vehicles parked next to your vehicle.
The transmitter allows you to:
• remotely unlock the vehicle doors.
• remotely lock all the vehicle doors.
• remotely open the trunk.

• activate the panic alarm.
• operate the illuminated entry feature.
• remotely start the vehicle.
The remote entry lock/unlock feature operates in any power mode
except when the vehicle is running and vehicle speed is more than
4 mph (7 km/h).
If there are problems with the remote entry system, make sure to take
ALL intelligent access keys with you to the authorized dealer in order
to aid in troubleshooting the problem.
Intelligent access
The intelligent access system uses a radio frequency (RF) signal to
communicate with your vehicle and authorize your vehicle to unlock
when commanded (either by touching the inside of any exterior door
handle, the luggage compartment handle, or a button on the transmitter
itself). If excessive RF interference is present in the area, or if your
vehicle battery is low, it may be necessary to mechanically unlock your
door. The mechanical key blade in your IA key can be used to open the
driver’s door in this situation (refer to Intelligent access keyin this
chapter for more information on the location and use of the mechanical
key blade).
Your vehicle will allow you to unlock and enter your vehicle without
actively using a key or transmitter. You can use the intelligent access
feature at any door or at the liftgate. You can activate the intelligent
access feature as long as you have one of your IA keys within range of
the front doors or the liftgate.
Activating intelligent access at
the doors:If your IA key is within
3 feet (1 meter) of the doors you can
activate your intelligent access
system by touching the inside of any
exterior door handle. The door(s) will
automatically unlock and the door
can be opened.

on.
The battery saver feature will turn off the lamps 10 minutes after the
ignition is turned off.
Press and hold both the lock and unlock buttons on the remote control
for four seconds to disable or enable two-stage unlocking. Disabling
two-stage unlocking allows all vehicle doors to unlock with one press of
the button. The turn signal lamps will illuminate twice to indicate that
two-stage unlock was enabled or disabled. The unlocking mode will be
applied to intelligent access.
Two-stage unlocking may also be disabled or enabled through the
message center if this is an available message center option or by your
authorized dealer. Refer to Message centerin theInstrument Cluster
chapter.
When two-stage unlocking is disabled, intelligent access at the driver’s
door results in an unlock of all doors (not just the driver door).
