Special Instructions
For your added safety, your vehicle is fitted with sophisticated electronic
controls.
WARNING:Please read theSupplementary Restraints System
chapter. Failure to follow the specific warnings and instructions
could result in personal injury.
WARNING:Front seat mounted rear-facing child or infant seats
shouldNEVERbe placed in front of an active passenger airbag.
MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS EQUIPMENT
Using mobile communications equipment is becoming increasingly
important in the conduct of business and personal affairs. However, you
must not compromise your own or others’ safety when using such
equipment. Mobile communications can enhance personal safety and
security when appropriately used, particularly in emergency situations.
Safety must be paramount when using mobile communications
equipment to avoid negating these benefits.
Mobile communication equipment includes, but is not limited to, cellular
phones, pagers, portable email devices, text messaging devices and
portable two-way radios.
WARNING:Driving while distracted can result in loss of vehicle
control, accident and injury. Ford strongly recommends that you
use extreme caution when using any device or feature that may take
your focus off the road. Your primary responsibility is the safe operation
of your vehicle. We recommend against the use of any handheld device
while driving, encourage the use of voice operated systems when
possible and that you become aware of applicable state and local laws
that may affect use of electronic devices while driving.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The remote control allows you to:
•remotely lock or unlock the vehicle doors
•unlock the doors without actively using a key or remote control
(intelligent access only)
•remotely open the power liftgate (if equipped)
•remotely start or stop the engine (if equipped)
•arm and disarm the anti-theft system
•activate the panic alarm.
GENERAL INFORMATION ON RADIO FREQUENCIES
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules and with Industry
Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s). 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.
Note:Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate
the equipment. The termICbefore the radio certification number only
signifies that Industry Canada technical specifications were met.
The typical operating range for your transmitter is approximately 33 feet
(10 meters). Vehicles with the remote start feature will have a greater
range. A decrease in operating range could be caused by:
•weather conditions
•nearby radio towers
•structures around your vehicle
•other vehicles parked next to your vehicle.
The radio frequency used by your remote control can also be used by
other short-distance radio transmissions, for example amateur radios,
medical equipment, wireless headphones, remote controls and alarm
systems. If the frequencies are jammed, you will not be able to use your
remote control. You can lock and unlock the doors with the key.
Note:Make sure your vehicle is locked before leaving it unattended.
Note:If you are in range, the remote control will operate if you press
any button unintentionally.

Intelligent Access (If Equipped)
The system uses a radio frequency signal to communicate with your
vehicle and authorize your vehicle to unlock when one of the following
conditions is met:
•You touch the inside of the front exterior door handle.
•You press the luggage compartment button.
•You press a button on the transmitter.
If excessive radio frequency interference is present in the area or if the
transmitter battery is low, it may be necessary to mechanically unlock
your door. You can use the mechanical key blade in your intelligent
access key to open the driver door in this situation. Refer toRemote
Controlin this chapter for more information on the location and use of
the mechanical key blade.
REMOTE CONTROL
Integrated Keyhead Transmitters (IKTs) (If Equipped)
Your vehicle may be equipped with
two integrated keyhead transmitters.
Use the key blade to start your
vehicle and unlock or lock the
driver door from outside the vehicle.
The transmitter portion functions as
the remote control.
Note:Your vehicle’s keys came
with a security label that provides
important key cut information.
Keep the label in a safe place for
future reference.

Remote Starting the Vehicle
Note:Each button press must be done within three seconds of each
other. The vehicle will not remote start if this sequence is not followed
and the horn will not chirp.
The label on your transmitter
details the starting procedure.
To remote start your vehicle:
1. Press the lock button to lock all the doors.
2. Press the remote start button twice. The exterior lamps will flash
twice.
The horn will chirp if the system fails to start (unless quiet start is on).
Quiet start will run the blower fan at a slower speed to reduce noise.
It can be switched on or off. Refer to theInformation Displayschapter.
Note:If the vehicle has been remote started and is equipped with an
integrated keyhead transmitter, you must turn the ignition on before
driving the vehicle. If equipped with an intelligent access transmitter, you
must press theSTART/STOPbutton on the instrument panel once while
applying the brake pedal before driving the vehicle.
The power windows will be inhibited during the remote start and the
radio will not turn on automatically.
The parking lamps will remain on and the vehicle will run for 5, 10,
or 15 minutes, depending on the setting. Refer to theInformation
Displayschapter to select the duration of the remote start system.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
MyKey allows you to program keys with restricted driving modes to
promote good driving habits. You can use all but one of the keys
programmed to your vehicle 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 restricted key
•program optional 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: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 intelligent access keys (push-button
start): When both a MyKey and an admin intelligent access key (fob) are
present, your vehicle will recognize the admin fob to start the engine.
Note:If you start your vehicle while using a MyKey, your key’s
programmed restrictions will remain active until you turn the engine off.
This remains true, even if a passenger with an admin key enters your
vehicle after you started the engine with a MyKey.
Standard Settings
These settings activate automatically with a programmed MyKey:
•Belt-Minder. You cannot disable this feature. The audio system will
mute when this feature is activated.
•Early low fuel. The low-fuel warning activates earlier, giving MyKey
drivers more time to refuel.
•Driver assist features remain on and active: the collision warning
system, navigation, parking aids and BLIS (Blind Spot Information
System) with cross traffic alert.
•Satellite radio adult content restrictions.
