2013 LINCOLN MKZ engine

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 in the
information display. See General
Information (page 100).
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 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 only
extend the remote start once. Wait at least five seconds before
remote starting after a vehicle
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 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 100).
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 72).

Keys and Remote ControlsE138625

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: Rear
parking aid, Blind spot information
system (BLIS®) with cross traffic
alert, Lane departure warning,
Forward collision warning system
and Satellite radio adult content
restriction.
Optional Settings
These settings can be configured right
after a MyKey is first created or
changed afterward with an admin key.
• Vehicle speed limit of 65, 70, 75
and 80 mph (105, 113, 121 and 130
km/h). Visual warnings are
displayed followed by an audible
tone when vehicle speed has
reached the selected top speed.
• Vehicle speed minder 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.

MyKey®

•
Audio system maximum volume
of 45%. A message in the audio
system is displayed when
attempting to exceed the limited
volume. Also, speed sensitive
compensated volume feature will
be disabled.
• Always on setting. When this is
selected you will not be able to
disable AdvanceTrac®, 911 Assist®
or the Do not disturb feature (if
your vehicle is equipped with these
features).
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 150).
2. Turn the ignition on.
3. Access the main menu on the information display controls and
select
Settings, then MyKey by

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. The key is successfully programmed.
Make sure you label it so you can
distinguish it from the admin keys.
You can program optional settings for
the key(s). Refer to
Programming/Changing optional
settings
.
Programming/Changing
Optional Settings
All programmed keys can be cleared
within the same key cycle in which a

through the information display
control.
1. Turn the ignition on using an admin
key.
2. Access the main menu and select Settings

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 intelligent access keys.
The intelligent access key functions
as a programmed key that operates
the driver door lock and activates the
intelligent access with push button
start system, as well as a remote
control.
If your programmed transmitters 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 your
authorized dealer to purchase
additional spare or replacement keys.
Programming a Spare Intelligent
Access Key
Note: You can program a maximum
for four intelligent access keys to your
vehicle.
