CLEARING ALL MYKEYS

Note: All programmed MyKeys can be cleared within the same key cycle
in which a MyKey was created, otherwise an admin key is required to
clear the keys.

To clear all MyKeys as admin keys, use the information display control to
do the following:

1. Access the main menu and select Settings, then MyKey .

2. Scroll to Clear All and press the OK button.

3. Hold the OK button until ALL MYKEYS CLEARED is displayed.

CHECKING MYKEY SYSTEM STATUS

The information display control displays information about keys
programmed to the vehicle:
MYKEY MILES: Tracks mileage when a restricted key is used. If

mileage does not accumulate as expected, then the key is not being
used by the intended user. The only way to reset this to zero is by
resetting the keys. If the mileage is lower than the last time you
checked, then the key system has been recently reset.

# MYKEY(S): Indicates how many restricted keys are programmed

to the vehicle. Can also be used to detect deletion of a restricted key.

# ADMIN KEY(S): Indicates how many admin keys are programmed

to the vehicle. Can also be used to detect if an additional key has
been programmed to the vehicle.

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.

The following information MAY help customers who choose to use a
non-Ford-approved remote start system. The actions provided below do
NOT make MyKey compatible with non-Ford-approved remote start
system, but it MAY help you to retain some MyKey functions.

Vehicles Equipped with Traditional Keys

When using a non-Ford-approved remote start system, the default
settings may recognize the remote start system as an additional admin
key with its associated privileges. This makes it NOT compatible with
MyKey. Restart the engine when you insert a key into the ignition
cylinder it may help you to retain some MyKey functions.
