CHECKING MYKEY SYSTEM
STATUS

The information display shows the
programmed keys' status:

MYKEY DISTANCE: Tracks distance
when drivers use restricted keys. The
only way to delete the accumulated
distance is by using an admin key to
reset this to zero. If the MyKey distance
does not accumulate as expected,
then:

The intended user is not using the
programmed key.

An admin key user recently reset
the distance.

NUMBER OF MYKEY(S): Indicates
the number of restricted keys
programmed to the vehicle. Use this
feature to detect how many restricted
keys you have for your vehicle, or when
a MyKey has recently been deleted.

NUMBER OF ADMIN KEY(S):
Indicates how many admin keys are
programmed to the vehicle. Use this
feature to determine how many
unrestricted keys you have for your
vehicle, or 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.
