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

create a MyKey:
1. Insert the key you want to program into
the ignition or, if the vehicle is equipped

WARNINGS
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 the
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.
For safety reasons, do not connect
or adjust the settings on your
portable music player while the
vehicle is moving.
WARNINGS
Store the portable music player in a
secure location, such as the center
console or the glove box, when the
vehicle is in motion. Hard objects may
become projectiles in a collision or sudden
stop, which may increase the risk of serious
injury. The audio extension cable must be
long enough to allow the portable music
player to be safely stored while the vehicle
is in motion.
