CHECKING MYKEY SYSTEM STATUS

The information display controls provide information about keys
programmed to the vehicle:

MYKEY MILES: Tracks mileage when a MyKey is used. If mileage

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

# MYKEY(S): Indicates how many MyKeys are programmed to the

vehicle. Can also be used to detect deletion of a MyKey.

# 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.
