2013 FORD ESCAPE engine

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 the START/STOP button 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
engine will run for 5, 10, or 15 minutes,
depending on the setting.
Extending the Engine Run Time
Repeat Steps 1 and 2 with the engine 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 engine
will continue to run now for a total of 20
minutes. You can only extend the remote
start once.
Wait at least five seconds before remote
starting after an engine shutdown. Only
two remote starts are allowed.
The vehicle must be started without
remote start then switched off or allow
one hour to pass before using remote start
again if additional remote starts are
desired.
Turning the Engine 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 engine. You can disable or enable the remote start
system through the information display.
See General Information (page 84).
REPLACING A LOST KEY OR
REMOTE CONTROL
Replacement or additional keys or remote
controls can be purchased from your
authorized dealer. Your dealer can program
the transmitters to your vehicle or you may
be able to program them yourself. See
Passive Anti-Theft System (page 62).

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
MyKey allows you to program keys with
restricted driving modes to promote good
driving habits. All but one of the keys
programmed to the vehicle can be
activated with these restricted modes. Any
keys that have not been programmed are
referred to as an "administrator key" or
"admin key" which can be used to:
•create a restricted key
• program optional MyKey settings
• clear all MyKey features altogether.
Once a key has been programmed you can
access the following information using the
information display control:
• How many admin keys and MyKeys are
programmed to the vehicle.
• The total distance the vehicle has been
driven with a MyKey.
For vehicles equipped with intelligent
access key (push button start), when both
a MyKey and an admin intelligent access
key (fob) are present, the admin fob will
be recognized by the vehicle to start the
engine.
Standard Settings
These settings cannot be changed.
• Belt-Minder®. This cannot be disabled
and the five-minute timer does not
expire. The audio system is muted
when MyKey Belt-Minder® is activated.
• Early low fuel. Warnings are displayed
in the information display control
followed by an audible tone when the
fuel tank is at one-eighth tank or less.
• Driver assist features, if equipped on
your vehicle, are forced on: Parking aid,
blind spot information system (BLIS®)
with cross traffic alert and the collision
warning system. Optional Settings
These settings can be configured right after
a MyKey is first created or changed
afterword with an Admin key.
•
Vehicle speed limit of 80 mph (130
km/h). Visual warnings are displayed
followed by an audible tone when
vehicle speed has reached 80 mph
(130 km/h).
• Vehicle speed warning of 45, 55 or 65
mph (75, 90, or 105 km/h). Visual
warnings are displayed followed by an
audible tone when the preselected
vehicle speed is exceeded.
• Audio system maximum volume of
45%. A message in the audio system
is displayed when attempting to
exceed the limited volume.
• AdvanceTrac®. The system cannot be
turned off when Always-on has been
set.
CREATING A MYKEY
Use the information display control to
create a MyKey:
1. Insert the key you want to program into
the ignition or, if the vehicle is equipped
with push button start, put the
intelligent access key in the backup
slot. Backup slot information is located
in a different chapter. See Starting
and Stopping the Engine (page 135).
2. Turn the ignition on.
3. Access the main menu on the information display controls and select
Settings, then MyKey by pressing OK
or the > button.
4. Press OK to select Create.
5. When prompted, hold the OK button until you see a message informing you
to label this key as a MyKey. The key
will be restricted at the next start.

MyKey®

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 engine 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:
•Enter the vehicle and close all doors.
• Remote start the vehicle using your
non-Ford-approved remote start fob.
• See Creating a MyKey (page 49).
Follow Steps 1-5. 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 engine
when you either enter the vehicle or shift the
vehicle into gear. Prior to the engine stall,
the vehicle will have administrative
privileges. When you restart the engine, 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
Checking MyKey System Status (page
50).
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:
• Enter the vehicle and close all doors.
• Remote start the vehicle using your
non-Ford-approved remote start fob.
• See Clearing All MyKeys (page 50).
Follow Steps 1-3.

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 problems
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.
SecuriLock®
The system is an engine immobilization
system. It is designed to help prevent the
engine from being started 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
The vehicle is armed immediately after
switching the ignition off.
Automatic Disarming
Switching the ignition on with a coded key
disarms the vehicle. Replacement Keys
Note:
Your vehicle comes equipped 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's
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 don ’t 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 your authorized
dealer to purchase additional spare or
replacement keys.
Programming a Spare Integrated
Keyhead Transmitter
Note: A maximum of eight coded keys can
be programmed to your vehicle. All eight
can be integrated keyhead transmitters.
You can program your own integrated
keyhead transmitter or standard
SecuriLock coded keys to your vehicle. This
procedure will program both the engine
immobilizer keycode and the remote entry
portion of the remote control to your
vehicle
Only use integrated keyhead transmitters
or standard SecuriLock keys.
