GENERAL INFORMATION
ON RADIO FREQUENCIES
This device complies with Part 15 of
the FCC Rules and with Industry
Canada license-exempt RSS
standard(s). Operation is subject to
the following two conditions: (1) This
device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) This device must
accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
Note:
Changes or modifications not
expressively approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void
the user's authority to operate the
equipment. The term IC before the
radio certification number only signifies
that Industry Canada technical
specifications were met.
The typical operating range for your
transmitter is approximately 33 feet
(10 meters). Vehicles with the remote
start feature will have a greater range.
One of the following could cause a
decrease in operating range:
• weather conditions
• nearby radio towers
• structures around the vehicle
• other vehicles parked next to your
vehicle The radio frequency used by your
remote control can also be used by
other short distance radio
transmissions, for example amateur
radios, medical equipment, wireless
headphones, remote controls and
alarm systems. If the frequencies are
jammed, you will not be able to use
your remote control. You can lock and
unlock the doors with the key.
Note:
Make sure to lock your vehicle
before leaving it unattended.
Note: If you are in range, the remote
control will operate if you press any
button unintentionally.
Intelligent Access
The system uses a radio frequency
signal to communicate with your
vehicle and authorize your vehicle to
unlock when one of the following
conditions are met:
• You touch the inside of the front
exterior door handle.
• You press the luggage
compartment button.
• You press a button on the
transmitter.
If excessive radio frequency
interference is present in the area or
if the transmitter battery is low, you
may need to mechanically unlock your
door. You can use the mechanical key
blade in your intelligent access key to
open the driver door in this situation.
See
Remote Control (page 53).

disposing of transmitter batteries.
Note: Do not wipe off any grease on
the battery terminals or on the back
surface of the circuit board.

The transmitter should operate
normally.
A message will appear in the
information display when the remote
control battery is low. See
Information Messages (page 117).

This feature allows you to start your
vehicle from outside the vehicle. The
transmitter has an extended operating
range.
Vehicles with automatic climate
control can be configured to operate
when the vehicle is remote started.
See Climate Control (page 138). A
manual climate control system will
run at the setting it was set to when
you switched the vehicle off.
Many states and provinces have
restrictions for the use of remote start.
Check your local and state or
provincial laws for specific
requirements regarding remote start
systems.
The remote start system will not work
if:
• the ignition is on
• the alarm system is triggered
• you disable the feature
• the hood is open
• the transmission is not in
P
• the vehicle battery voltage is too
low
• the service engine soon light is on.

MKZ (CC9) Keys and Remote ControlsE138626

The horn will sound 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 in the
information display. See General
Information (page 103).
Note: If the vehicle has been remote
started with an integrated keyhead
transmitter, you must switch the
ignition on before driving your vehicle.
With an intelligent access transmitter,
you must press the
START/STOP
button on the instrument panel once
while applying the brake pedal before
driving your vehicle.
The power windows will not work
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.
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
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
vehicle will continue to run now for a
total of 15 minutes. You can extend
the remote start up to a maximum of
35 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. See
General Information
(page 103).
REPLACING A LOST KEY OR
REMOTE CONTROL
Replacement keys or remote controls
can be purchased from an authorized
dealer. Authorized dealers can
program remote controls for your
vehicle. See
Passive Anti-Theft
System (page 72).
To re-program the passive anti-theft
system see an authorized dealer.

expected, then the intended user is
not using the MyKey, or an admin key
user recently cleared and then
recreated a MyKey. NUMBER OF MYKEY(S)

programmed to your vehicle. Use this
feature to detect how many MyKeys
you have for your vehicle and
determine when a MyKey has been
deleted.
NUMBER OF ADMIN KEY(S)

programmed to your vehicle. Use this
feature to determine how many
unrestricted keys you have for your
vehicle, and detect if an additional
MyKey has been programmed.
