2015 FORD FOCUS ELECTRIC Owners Manual

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.
