USING MYKEY WITH REMOTE
START SYSTEMS
Vehicles With Ford-Approved
Aftermarket Remote Start
Systems
When using a Ford-approved aftermarket
remote start system, the vehicle recognizes
the remote start system transmitter as an
additional admin key. It is the vehicle
’s
default setting.
When you start your vehicle with a
Ford-approved aftermarket remote start
system transmitter, the system shuts the
vehicle off after you open the door or shift
your vehicle into gear. This is intentional.
When you restart your vehicle, it reads the
intelligent access key status instead of the
remote start system transmitter status.
With a Ford-approved aftermarket remote
start system, it is possible to program all
intelligent access keys as MyKeys
unintentionally. If this happens, then the
remote start system transmitter is the
admin key. If you want to have only one
intelligent access key as a MyKey, or do not
want to have any MyKeys, then you need
to use your remote start system
transmitter to clear all MyKeys. In that
case, follow these steps:
1. Enter your vehicle and close all doors.
2. Start your vehicle using your remote start system transmitter.
3. See Clearing All MyKeys (page 52).
Follow Steps 1-3.
After clearing your MyKeys, you can create
a new MyKey. See
Creating a MyKey
(page 51).
Note: With push-button start, you cannot
program the remote start system
transmitter as a MyKey. Always treat the
remote start system transmitter 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, see an authorized
dealer for a Ford-approved remote start
system.
The following information may help if you
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 bypowering it off
and waiting a few seconds, and then
powering the vehicle back on, you may
retain some MyKey functions. This action
forces your vehicle to read the intelligent
access key instead of the remote start
system transmitter and then uses the
MyKey associated privileges.
Note:
The MyKey system status menu
display may include the remote start system
as an additional key in the total count of
programmed keys. See
Checking MyKey
System Status (page 53).
With a non-Ford-approved aftermarket
remote start system, it is possible to
program all intelligent access keys as
MyKeys unintentionally. If this happens,
then the remote start system transmitter
is the admin key. If you want to have only
one intelligent access key as a MyKey, or
do not want to have any MyKeys, then you
need to use your remote start system
transmitter to clear all MyKeys. In that
case, follow these steps:
1. Enter your vehicle and close all doors.

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 result in vehicle starting
problems, especially if they are too close to
the key when starting your vehicle. Prevent
these objects from touching the coded key
when starting your vehicle. If your vehicle
fails to start, switch your vehicle off, move
all objects on the key chain away from the
key and start your vehicle.
Note: Do not leave a duplicate coded key
in your vehicle. Always take your keys and
lock all doors when leaving your vehicle.
SecuriLock
The system helps prevent your vehicle
from starting unless you use a coded key
programmed to your vehicle. A message
may appear in the information display.
If your vehicle fails to start, the system may
have a fault. Contact an authorized dealer.
A message may appear in the information
display.
Automatic Arming
The system arms when you switch your
vehicle off.
Automatic Disarming
The system disarms when you switch your
vehicle on with a coded key.
Replacement Keys
Note: Your vehicle comes with two keys. The intelligent access key functions as a
programmed key that operates the driver
door lock and turns on the intelligent
access with push button start system, as
well as a remote control.
If your intelligent access keys are lost or
stolen and you do not have an extra coded
key, you need to have your vehicle towed
to an authorized dealer. You need to erase
the key codes from your vehicle and
program new coded keys.
Store a spare intelligent access key away
from your vehicle in a safe place. Contact
an authorized dealer to purchase
additional spare or replacement keys.
Programming a Spare Intelligent
Access Key
You must have two previously
programmed coded keys and the new
unprogrammed key readily accessible.
Contact an authorized dealer to have the
spare key programmed if two previously
programmed keys are not available.
Make sure that your vehicle is switched off
before beginning this procedure. Make sure
that you close all the doors before
beginning and that they remain closed
throughout the procedure. Carry out all
steps within 30 seconds of starting the
sequence. Stop and wait for at least one
minute before starting again if you carry
out any steps out of sequence.
Note:
You can program a maximum of eight
coded keys to your vehicle.
Read and understand the entire procedure
before you begin.

fog. Always ensure that your headlamps
are switched to auto or on, as appropriate,
during all low visibility conditions. Failure
to do so may result in a crash. When the lighting control is in the
autolamps position, the headlamps
automatically turn on in low light situations
or when the wipers activate. If equipped, the following also activate
when the lighting control is in the

The headlamps remain on for a period of
time after you power off your vehicle. Use
the information display controls to adjust
the period of time that the headlamps
remain on. See Information Displays
(page 86).
Note: With the headlamps in the
autolamps position, you cannot switch the
high beam headlamps on until the
autolamps system turns the low beam
headlamps on.
Windshield Wiper Activated
Headlamps
The windshield wiper activated headlamps
turn on within 10 seconds when you switch
the windshield wipers on and the lighting
control is in the autolamps position. They
turn off approximately 60 seconds after
you switch the windshield wipers off.
The headlamps will not turn on by wiper
activation:
• During a mist wipe.
• When the wipers are on to clear washer
fluid during a wash condition.
• If the wipers are in intermittent mode.
Note: If you switch autolamps and
autowipers on, the headlamps will
automatically turn on when the windshield
wipers continuously operate.
