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.

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. It is 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.

In addition to the key that has been programmed as a MyKey, owners of
vehicles equipped with traditional keys have the option to program the
non-Ford-approved remote start system as a MyKey if the remote start
fob is used by the MyKey driver.

To program a non-Ford-approved remote start system as a MyKey, do the
following:
1. Enter the vehicle and close all doors.
2. Remote start the vehicle using a non-Ford approved remote start fob.
3. Follow Steps 1-5 in the Creating a MyKey section.
