REMOTE CONTROL
Intelligent Access Key
Your intelligent access keys operate
the power locks and the remote
start system. The key must be
in your vehicle to activate the
push-button start system.
The intelligent access key also
contains a removable mechanical key
blade that you can use to unlock the
driver door. Slide the release on the
back of the transmitter to release the
mechanical key blade, and then pull
the blade out.
Note:Your vehicle’s back-up keys
came with a security tag that
provides important vehicle key cut
information. Keep the tag in a safe
place for future reference.
Replacing the Battery
Note:Refer to local regulations when disposing of transmitter batteries.
Note:Do not wipe off any grease on the battery terminals or on the
back surface of the circuit board.
Note:Replacing the battery will not delete the transmitter from your
vehicle. The transmitter should operate normally.
The remote control uses one coin-type three-volt lithium battery CR2032
or equivalent.

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. You
can switch it on or off in the information display. See theInformation
Displayschapter.
Note:If you remote start your vehicle, you must have a programmed
intelligent access key inside your vehicle and press theSTART/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. See theInformation Displays
chapter to select the duration of the remote start system.
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 the duration is set to last
10 minutes, the system will add another 10 minutes. 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 20 minutes. You can
extend the remote start up to a maximum of 30 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 your 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. Refer to theInformation Displaychapter.
REPLACING A LOST KEY OR REMOTE CONTROL
You can purchase replacement or additional keys or remote controls from
an authorized dealer. A dealer can program the transmitters to your
vehicle or you may be able to program them yourself. See theSecurity
chapter for information on programming your transmitters.

PRINCIPLES 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
administrator keys or admin keys. These can be used to:
•create a MyKey
•program configurable 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 a MyKey.
Note:All MyKeys are programmed to the same settings. You cannot
program them individually.
Note:For vehicles 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 to start the vehicle.
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.
•Early distance to stop. Warnings are displayed in the information
display control followed by an audible tone at 15 miles to stop.
•Driver assist features, if equipped on your vehicle, are forced on:
parking aid, blind spot information system (BLIS) with cross traffic
alert and the forward collision warning system.
Configurable Settings
With an admin key, you can configure certain MyKey settings when
you first create a MyKey and before you recycle the key or restart the
vehicle. You can also change the settings afterward with an admin key.
•A vehicle speed limit 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 or by setting cruise control.
•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 preselected vehicle speed is exceeded.

the display when you attempt to exceed the limited volume. Also, the
speed-sensitive or compensated automatic volume control will be
disabled.

off AdvanceTrac (if your vehicle is equipped with this feature).
Creating a MyKey

1. Hold the key next to the symbol on the right side of the steering
column (or next to the back-up location on the right side of the steering
column).
SeeStarting and Stopping the

distinguish it from the admin keys.
You can also program configurable settings for the key(s).
SeeProgramming/Changing Configurable Settings.

your MyKey settings.
CLEARING ALL MYKEYS
You can clear all MyKeys within the same key cycle as you created the
MyKey. If you switch your ignition off, however, you will need to use an
admin key to clear your MyKeys.
Note:When you clear your MyKeys, you remove all restrictions and
return all MyKeys to their original admin key status at once.

do the following:

3. Hold theOKbutton untilALL MYKEYS CLEAREDdisplays .
CHECKING MYKEY SYSTEM STATUS
You can find information about your programmed MyKeys by using the
information display.
MYKEY DISTANCE
Tracks the distance when drivers use a MyKey. The only way to delete
the accumulated distance is by using an admin key to clear your MyKey.
If the distance does not accumulate as 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)
Indicates the number of MyKeys 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)
Indicates how many admin keys are 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.
USING MYKEY WITH 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
your Ford authorized dealer for a Ford-approved remote start system .
Vehicles With Ford-approved Aftermarket Remote Start Systems
When using a Ford-approved aftermarket remote start system, the
vehicle recognizes the remote start system as an additional admin key. It
is the vehicle’s default setting. You can also program the remote start as
a MyKey. As a result, the MyKey system status menu display includes
the remote start system as an additional key in the total count of
MYKEY(S) PROGRAMMEDorADMIN KEYS PROGRAMMED.
SeeChecking MyKey System Status.
When you start your vehicle with a Ford-approved aftermarket remote
start system, the system stalls the vehicle 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.
•SeeClearing All MyKeys. Follow Steps 1-3.
After clearing your MyKeys, you can create a new MyKey. SeeCreating
a MyKey.
