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.
To clear all MyKeys of all MyKey settings, use the information display to
do the following:
1. Access the main menu and selectSettings, thenMyKey.
2. Scroll toClear Alland press theOKbutton.
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.

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

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 informationmayhelp 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 vehicle 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 ofMYKEY(S)
PROGRAMMEDorADMIN KEYS PROGRAMMED. SeeChecking
MyKey System 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 will be remain active.
With a non-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.
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.

SECURILOCK® 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 issues if they are too close to
the key when starting your vehicle. 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 your
vehicle if a problem occurs.
Note:Do not leave a duplicate coded key in your vehicle. Always take
your keys and lock all doors when leaving your vehicle.
The system helps prevent the engine from starting unless you use a coded
key programmed to your vehicle. Using the wrong key may prevent your
vehicle from starting. A message may appear in the information display.
If you are unable to start your vehicle with a correctly coded key, a
malfunction has occurred. A message may appear in the information
display.
Automatic Arming
Your vehicle arms immediately after you switch the ignition off.
Automatic Disarming
Your vehicle disarms when you switch the ignition on with a coded key.
Replacement Keys
Note:Your vehicle comes with two integrated keyhead transmitters or
two intelligent access keys.
The integrated keyhead transmitter functions as a programmed ignition
key that operates all the locks and starts the vehicle, as well as a remote
control.
The intelligent access key functions as a programmed key that operates
the driver door lock and activates the intelligent access with push button
start systems, as well as a remote control.
If your programmed transmitters or standard SecuriLock coded keys
(integrated keyhead transmitters only) 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.
