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.

Extending the Vehicle Run Time
Repeat Steps 1 and 2 with the vehicle still running to extend the run
time for another remote start duration. If you programmed the duration
to last 10 minutes, the second 10 minutes will be added. For example, if
the vehicle had been running from the first remote start for five minutes,
the vehicle will continue to run now for a total of 20 minutes.
Wait at least five seconds before remote starting after a vehicle
shutdown.
Turning the Vehicle Off After Remote Starting
Press the button once. The parking lamps will turn off.
You may have to be closer to the vehicle than when starting due to
ground reflection and the added noise of the running vehicle.
You can disable or enable the remote start system through the
information display. Refer to theInformation Displaychapter.
REPLACING A LOST KEY OR REMOTE CONTROL
You can purchase replacement or additional keys or remote controls from
an authorized dealer. A dealer can program the transmitters to your
vehicle or you may be able to program them yourself. See theSecurity
chapter for information on programming your transmitters.

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.

CLEARING ALL MYKEYS
You can clear the programming while you create a MyKey or use an
admin key to clear the restrictions. When you clear the restrictions, you
return the key to its original admin key status.
To clear your MyKey, use the information display to do the following:
1. Access the main menu and selectSettings, thenMyKey.
2. Scroll toClear Alland press theOKbutton.
3. Hold theOKbutton untilALL MYKEYS CLEAREDdisplays .
CHECKING MYKEY SYSTEM STATUS
The information display shows the programmed keys’ status:
•MYKEY DISTANCE:Tracks distance when drivers use a restricted
key. The only way to delete the accumulated distance is by using an
admin key to reset this to zero. If the MyKey distance does not
accumulate as expected, then:
1. The intended user is not using the programmed key.
2. An admin key user recently reset the distance.
•NUMBER OF MYKEY(S):Indicates the number of restricted keys
programmed to the vehicle. Use this feature to detect how many
restricted keys you have for your vehicle, or when a MyKey has
recently been deleted.
•NUMBER OF ADMIN KEY(S):Indicates how many admin keys are
programmed to the vehicle. Use this feature to determine how many
unrestricted keys you have for your vehicle, or if an additional MyKey
has been programmed.

SECURILOCK® PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM
Note:The system is not compatible with non-Ford aftermarket remote
start systems. Use of these systems may result in vehicle starting
problems and a loss of security protection.
Note:
Metallic objects, electronic devices or a second coded key on the
same key chain may cause vehicle starting issues if they are too close to
the key when starting the engine. Prevent these objects from touching the
coded key while starting the engine. Switch the ignition off, move all
objects on the key chain away from the coded key and restart the engine if
a problem occurs.
Note:Do not leave a duplicate coded key in the vehicle. Always take
your keys and lock all doors when leaving the vehicle.
The system is an engine immobilization system. It helps prevent the
engine from starting unless a coded key programmed to your vehicle
is used. Using the wrong key may prevent the engine from starting.
A message may appear in the information display.
If you are unable to start the engine with a correctly coded key, a malfunction
has happened and a message may appear in the information display.
Automatic Arming
Your vehicle arms immediately after you switch the ignition off.
Automatic Disarming
Your vehicle disarms when you switch the ignition on with a coded key.
Replacement Keys
Note:Your vehicle comes with two integrated keyhead transmitters or
two intelligent access keys.
The integrated keyhead transmitter functions as a programmed ignition key
that operates all the locks and starts the vehicle, as well as a remote control.
The intelligent access key functions as a programmed key that operates
the driver door lock and activates the intelligent access with push button
start systems, as well as a remote control.
If your programmed transmitters or standard SecuriLock coded keys
(integrated keyhead transmitters only) are lost or stolen and you do not
have an extra coded key, you will need to have your vehicle towed to an
authorized dealer. The key codes need to be erased from your vehicle
and new coded keys will need to be programmed.
Store an extra programmed key away from the vehicle in a safe place to
help prevent any inconveniences. See an authorized dealer to purchase
additional spare or replacement keys.
