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.

Optional Settings
You can configure MyKey settings when you first create a MyKey.
You can also change the settings afterward with an admin key.
The following settings can be configured using an admin key:
•Set various vehicle speed limits. 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.
•Set various vehicle speed reminders. Warnings will be shown in the
display followed by an audible tone when the set 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.
Automatic volume control will be disabled.
•Always on setting. When this is selected, you will not be able to
disable Advance Trac, 911 Assist or the do not disturb feature
(if your vehicle is equipped).
CREATING A MYKEY
Use the information display to create a MyKey:
1. Insert the key you want to program into the ignition. If your vehicle
is equipped with a push-button start and you have a backup slot, put
the intelligent access key in the backup slot. If your vehicle does not
have a backup slot, hold your intelligent access key fob next to the
steering column. See theStarting and Stopping the Enginechapter
for the proper key fob placement.
2. Turn the ignition on.
3. From the main menu within the information display, pressOKor the
>button to navigate through the various screens. SelectSettings
and thenMyKey.
4. PressOKor the>button to selectCreate.
5. When prompted, hold theOKbutton until you see a message
informing you to label this key as a MyKey. The key will be restricted
at your vehicle’s next start.
After the key is successfully programmed, make sure you label it so you
can distinguish it from the admin keys.
You can also program optional settings for the key(s). Refer to
Programming/Changing Optional Settings.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Radio Frequencies and Reception Factors
AM and FM frequencies are established by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) and the Canadian Radio and Telecommunications
Commission (CRTC). Those frequencies are:
AM: 530, 540–1700, 1710 kHz
FM: 87.9–107.7, 107.9 MHz
Radio reception factors
Distance and
strengthThe further you travel from an FM station,
the weaker the signal and the weaker the
reception.
TerrainHills, mountains, tall buildings, bridges,
tunnels, freeway overpasses, parking garages,
dense tree foliage and thunderstorms can
interfere with the reception.
Station overloadWhen you pass a ground-based broadcast
repeating tower, a stronger signal may
overtake a weaker one and result in the audio
system muting.
CD and CD Player Information
Note:CD units play commercially pressed 4.75-inch (12 centimeter)
audio compact discs only. Due to technical incompatibility, certain
recordable and re-recordable compact discs may not function correctly
when used in Ford CD players.
Note:Do not insert CDs with homemade paper (adhesive) labels into
the CD player as the label may peel and cause the CD to become
jammed. You should use a permanent felt tip marker rather than
adhesive labels on your homemade CDs. Ballpoint pens may damage
CDs. Please contact your authorized dealer for further information.
Note:Do not use any irregularly shaped discs or discs with a scratch
protection film attached.
Always handle discs by their edges only. Clean the disc with an approved
CD cleaner only. Wipe it from the center of the disc toward the edge.
Do not clean in a circular motion.
Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or heat sources for extended periods.

MP3 Track and Folder Structure
Audio systems capable of recognizing and playing MP3 individual tracks
and folder structures work as follows:
•There are two different modes for MP3 disc playback: MP3 track
mode (system default) and MP3 folder mode.
•MP3 track mode ignores any folder structure on the MP3 disc. The
player numbers each MP3 track on the disc (noted by the .mp3 file
extension) from T001 to a maximum of T255.Note:The maximum
number of playable MP3 files may be less depending on the structure
of the CD and exact model of radio present.
•MP3 folder mode represents a folder structure consisting of one level
of folders. The CD player numbers all MP3 tracks on the disc (noted
by the .mp3 file extension) and all folders containing MP3 files, from
F001 (folder) T001 (track) to F253 T255.
•Creating discs with only one level of folders helps with navigation
through the disc files.
If you are burning your own MP3 discs, it is important to understand
how the system reads the structures you create. While various files
may be present, (files with extensions other than mp3), only files with
the .mp3 extension are played; other files are ignored by the system.
This enables you to use the same MP3 disc for a variety of tasks on your
work computer, home computer and your in-vehicle system.
In track mode, the system displays and plays the structure as if it were
only one level deep (all .mp3 files play, regardless of being in a specific
folder). In folder mode, the system only plays the .mp3 files in the
current folder.
