2014 FORD FIESTA key fob

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. These can be used to:
•
create a MyKey
• program optional MyKey settings
• clear all MyKey features.
When you have programmed a MyKey, you
can access the following information using
the information display:
• How many admin keys and MyKeys are
programmed to your vehicle.
• The total distance your vehicle has
traveled using any MyKey.
Note: All MyKeys are programmed to the
same settings. You cannot program them
individually.
Vehicles with Keyless Entry
If a MyKey and an admin key are present,
your vehicle will recognize the admin key
only.
Note: For vehicles with intelligent access
key (push button start) keyless 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. Non-configurable Settings
The following settings cannot be changed:
•
Belt-minder. You cannot disable this
feature. The audio system will mute
when the front seat occupants' safety
belts are not fastened.
• Low fuel level warning. The low fuel
warning is activated earlier, giving the
MyKey user more time to refuel.
• Driver assist features, if equipped on
your vehicle, are forced on: parking aid,
blind spot information system (BLIS®)
with cross traffic alert, lane departure
warning, Forward collision warning
system.
• Satellite radio adult content
restrictions.
Configurable Settings
You can configure MyKey settings when
you first create a MyKey before you recycle
the key or restart the engine. You can also
change the settings afterward with an
admin key.
These settings can be configured
immediately after a MyKey is first created
or changed afterward with an Admin key
before you recycle the key or restart the
engine:
• Vehicle speed limits can be set.
Warnings will be shown in the display
followed by an audible tone when your
vehicle reaches the set speed. You
cannot override the set speed by fully
depressing the accelerator pedal.
• Vehicle speed minders of 45, 55 or 65
mph (75, 90 or 105 km/h). Once you
select a speed it will be shown in the
display followed by an audible tone
when the set vehicle speed is
exceeded.

When you start your vehicle with a
Ford-approved aftermarket remote start
system, the system stalls the engine after
you open the door or shift the vehicle into
gear. This is intentional. When you restart
your vehicle, it reads your real key
(traditional key or intelligent key fob)
status instead of the remote start system
’s
status.
As an added precaution, owners of vehicles
equipped with traditional keys may want
to program the remote start system as a
MyKey, if the MyKey driver uses the remote
start fob. That way, when the MyKey driver
starts the vehicle with the remote start
system, the MyKey restrictions remain
active.
With a Ford-approved aftermarket remote
start system, it is possible to program all
real keys as MyKeys unintentionally. If this
happens, then the remote start fob is the
admin key. If you want to have only one
real key as a MyKey, or do not want to have
any MyKeys, then you need to use your
remote start to clear all MyKeys. In that
case, follow these steps:
• Enter the vehicle and close all doors.
• Remote start the vehicle using your
remote start fob.
• See Clearing All MyKeys (page 50).
Follow Steps 1-3.
After clearing your MyKeys, you can create
a new MyKey. See
Creating a MyKey
(page 49).
Note: For vehicles with Intelligent Access
Keys (Push-button Start), you cannot
program the remote start system as a
MyKey. Always treat the remote start fob
as you would any other admin key.
Vehicles With Non-Ford-approved
Aftermarket Remote Start Systems MyKey is not compatible with
non-Ford-approved aftermarket remote
start systems. If you choose to install a
remote start system, please see a Ford
authorized dealer for a Ford-approved
system.
The following information
may help
customers who choose to install a
non-Ford-approved remote start system.
The actions provided below do not make
MyKey compatible with
non-Ford-approved remote start systems,
but may help you retain some MyKey
functions.
When using a non-Ford-approved remote
start system, the vehicle may recognize
the remote start system as an additional
admin key with its associated privileges. If
you restart the engine by inserting a key
into the ignition cylinder and recycling the
ignition completely, then you may retain
some MyKey functions. This action forces
your vehicle to read the traditional key
instead of the remote start fob and then
uses the key's associated privileges.
Note: The MyKey system status menu
display may include the remote start system
as an additional key in the total count of
MYKEY(S) PROGRAMMED or ADMIN KEYS
PROGRAMMED. See
Checking MyKey
System Status (page 50).
As an added precaution, owners of vehicles
equipped with traditional keys may want
to program the remote start system as a
MyKey, if the MyKey driver uses the remote
start fob. That way, when the MyKey driver
starts the vehicle with the remote start
system, the MyKey restrictions will be
remain active.
