2023 LINCOLN AVIATOR radio

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
MyKey allows you to program keys with
restricted driving modes to promote good
driving habits. You can program the
restrictions to all keys except one. Any keys
that you did not program are administrator
keys or admin keys.
You can use admin keys to:
• Create a MyKey with certain vehicle
restrictions.
• Program certain MyKey settings.
• Clear all MyKey restrictions.
After you program a MyKey, you can view
the following information through the
information display:
• The total number of admin keys and
MyKeys for your vehicle.
• The total distance a MyKey driver
traveled with your vehicle.
Note:Every MyKey receives the same
restrictions and settings. You cannot
program them individually.Note:For vehicles equipped with a
push-button start switch: When both a MyKey
and an admin key are present when you
start your vehicle, the system recognizes the
admin key only.
Standard Settings
Not every vehicle includes the features listed
below. If your vehicle has this equipment,
then you cannot change the following
settings when using a MyKey:
• Seatbelt reminder or Belt-Minder™. MyKey
mutes the audio system until drivers, and
in some instances, passengers, fasten
their seatbelts. Note: If your vehicle
includes an AM/FM radio or a very basic
audio system, then the radio may not
mute.
• Earlier low-fuel warning. The low-fuel
warning activates earlier for MyKey
drivers, giving them more time to refuel.• Certain driver alerts, stability systems or
parking aids turn on automatically when
you use the MyKey system. For example,
Blind Spot Information System (BLIS),
cross traffic alert, lane departure warning
or forward collision warning. Note: MyKey
drivers may be able to turn the lane
departure warning feature off, but this
feature turns back on automatically with
every new key cycle.
• Restricted touchscreen operation in some
markets. For example, MyKey may
prevent manual navigation destination
input while the vehicle is in any gear
other than park (P) or when the vehicle
reaches a certain rate of speed.
• Satellite radio adult content restrictions,
if this feature is available in your market.
Optional Settings
You can configure certain vehicle feature
settings when you first create a MyKey. You
can also change the settings afterward with
an admin key.

MyKey™

Note:Not every feature applies to every
vehicle in every market. When they are
available for your vehicle, then they appear
in the information display, providing choices
to switch them on or off, or to select a more
specific setting.
• Various vehicle speed limits so the
MyKey driver cannot exceed certain
speeds. The information display shows
warnings followed by an audible tone
when the MyKey driver reaches the set
speed. You cannot override the set
speed by fully depressing the accelerator
pedal.
WARNING: Do not set MyKey
maximum speed limit to a limit that will
prevent the driver from maintaining a safe
speed considering posted speed limits and
prevailing road conditions. The driver is
always responsible to drive in accordance
with local laws and prevailing conditions.
Failure to do so could result in accident or
injury.• Various vehicle speed reminders so
MyKey drivers know when their vehicle
speed approaches the limits. Warnings
appear in the information display and a
tone sounds when the MyKey drivers
exceed the set vehicle speed.
• The audio system's maximum volume
limits to 45% so MyKey drivers can
concentrate on the road. A message
appears in the information display when
MyKey drivers attempt to exceed the
limited volume. MyKey also disables the
automatic volume control. Note: If your
vehicle includes an AM/FM radio or a
very basic audio system, then the radio
may not limit.
• Always on setting. This setting forces
certain features to remain on and active
for MyKey drivers. For example, E911 or
emergency assistance and the do not
disturb features stay on even if a MyKey
driver uses the feature's control to switch
it off. When selected, you will not be able
to turn off Advance Trac or traction
control (if your vehicle has this feature).
CREATING A MYKEY
Use the touchscreen to create a MyKey:
1. Insert the key you want to program into
the ignition. If your vehicle has a push
button start, place the remote control into
the backup slot. See Starting a Gasoline
Engine (page 206).
2. Switch the ignition on.
3. Press SETTINGS.
4. Press Vehicle.
5. Press MyKey.
6. Press Create MyKey.
7. Press Ye s.
8. Switch the ignition off.
You have successfully created a MyKey.
Make sure you label it so you can distinguish
it from the admin keys.
You can also program configurable settings
for the key.

Note:If more than one linked remote control
is in range, the memory function moves to
the settings of the first key to initiate a
memory recall.
Note:The guest profile consists of existing
settings when there is no driver profile
created. After you create a driver profile, the
guest profile serves as an additional driver
profile.
Note:You cannot link a personalized name,
a memory seat button or a remote control
to a guest profile.
Personal Settings
Personal Profiles allow you to personalize
positional settings such as seats and mirrors,
as well as non-positional settings such as
radio, navigation, driver assist and system
settings. See SYNC™ 3 (page 507). You
cannot change the menu locations and
settings of those personalized features with
Personal Profiles.Note:Non-positional settings are saved to
the active driver profile whenever you
change a setting.
Note:You can save positional settings if you
press and hold a memory seat button.
Recalling and Changing a Profile
You can recall a profile by:
• Using a remote control or mobile device
that has been linked to a driver profile to
access the remote start feature, press an
unlock button or open the door with the
exterior door handle.
• Pressing a memory seat button that has
been linked to a driver profile.
• Using the Personal Profiles menu on the
SYNC touchscreen.
Note:The recalled profile replaces the
previously active profile. If the active profile
is not your preferred profile, you can change
it using any of the three methods listed.
