Remote Starting the Engine
Note:Each button press must be done within three seconds of each

and the horn will not chirp.
The label on your transmitter details
the starting procedure. To remote

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).

can be switched on or off. Refer to theInformation Displayschapter.
Note:If the vehicle has been remote started 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.

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 begin after what is left of
the first activation time. 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 15 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 ignition must be turned on and then back 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. Refer to theInformation Displaychapter.
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. Refer to the
Securitychapter for information on programming your transmitters.

present, the admin fob will be recognized by the vehicle to start the
engine.

to the vehicle. Can also be used to detect deletion of a restricted key.

to the vehicle. Can also be used to detect if an additional key has

USING MYKEYWITH REMOTE START SYSTEMS
MyKeyis NOT compatible with non-Ford-approved aftermarket remote
start systems. If you choose to install a remote start system please see
your Ford authorized dealer for a Ford-approved remote start system.
The following information MAY help customers who choose to use a
non-Ford-approved remote start system. The actions provided below do
NOT make MyKeycompatible with non-Ford-approved remote start
system, but it MAY help you to retain some MyKeyfunctions.
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 MyKeyfunctions.
