FORD 2013 Explorer v.4 - Manual (Page 70)

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
MyKey® allows you to program keys with restricted driving modes to
promote good driving habits. All but one of the keys programmed to the
vehicle can be activated with these restricted modes. Any keys that have
not been programmed are referred to as an administrator key or admin
key which can be used to:
• create a restricted key
• program optional MyKey settings
• clear all MyKey features altogether.
Once a key has been programmed, you can access the following
information using the information display control:
• How many admin keys and MyKeys are programmed to the vehicle.
• The total distance the vehicle has been driven with a MyKey.
For vehicles equipped with intelligent access (push button start), when
both a MyKey and an admin intelligent access key (fob) are present, the
admin fob will be recognized by the vehicle to start the engine.
Standard Settings
These settings cannot be changed:
• Belt-Minder. This cannot be disabled and the five-minute timer does
not expire. The audio system is muted when this feature is activated.
• Early low fuel.
• When the fuel gauge reads approximately 3/32nd tank, or your
estimated travel distance is 62 miles (100 kilometers) until the
tank is empty, whichever comes first.
• The fuel indicator lamp illuminates in yellow and the information
display shows a low fuel message.
• When the fuel tank gauge reads “E,” another set of warnings occur:
the information display shows a red warning light and the words
“Low Fuel” in red.
• Driver assist features, if equipped on your vehicle, are forced on:
parking aid, blind spot information system (BLIS) with cross traffic
alert and the collision warning system.
Optional Settings
These settings can be configured right after a MyKey is first created or
changed afterward with an admin key:
• Vehicle speed limit of 65, 70, 75 and 80 mph (105, 113, 121 and
130 km/h). Visual warnings are displayed followed by an audible tone
when vehicle speed has reached the selected top speed.
