FORD C MAX HYBRID 2014 2.G Workshop Manual

PRINCIPLE 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 administrator keys or
admin keys. These can be used to:
•
create a MyKey
• program configurable MyKey settings
• clear all MyKey features.
When you have programmed a MyKey, you
can access the following information using
the information display:
• How many admin keys and MyKeys are
programmed to your vehicle.
• The total distance your vehicle has
traveled using a MyKey.
Note: All MyKeys are programmed to the
same settings. You cannot program them
individually.
Note: For vehicles with intelligent access
with 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 while switching the ignition
on to start the vehicle.
Non-configurable Settings
The following settings cannot be changed
by an admin key user: •
Belt-Minder. You cannot disable this
feature. The audio system will mute
when the front seat occupants’ safety
belts are not fastened.
• Early low fuel. The low-fuel warning
activates earlier, giving the MyKey user
more time to refuel.
• Driver assist features, if equipped on
your vehicle, are forced on: parking aid,
blind spot information system (BLIS)
with cross traffic alert, lane departure
warning and forward collision warning
system.
Configurable Settings
With an admin key, you can configure
certain MyKey settings when you first
create a MyKey and before you recycle the
key or restart the vehicle. You can also
change the settings afterward with an
admin key.
• A vehicle speed limit can be set.
Warnings will be shown in the display
followed by an audible tone when your
vehicle reaches the set speed. You
cannot override the set speed by fully
depressing the accelerator pedal or by
setting cruise control.
• Vehicle speed minders of 45, 55 or 65
mph (75, 90 or 105 km/h). Once you
select a speed, it will be shown in the
display, followed by an audible tone
when the preselected vehicle speed is
exceeded.
• Audio system maximum volume of
45%. A message will be shown in the
display when you attempt to exceed
the limited volume. Also, the
speed-sensitive or compensated
automatic volume control will be
disabled.
• Always on setting. When this is
selected, you will not be able to turn
off Advance Trac (if your vehicle is
equipped with this feature).

CREATING A MYKEY
Use the information display to create a
MyKey:
1. Insert the key you want to program into
the ignition. If your vehicle is equipped with
a push-button start, hold the intelligent
access key next to the steering column.
Details on the correct fob placement and
position is in another chapter. See
Starting and Stopping the Engine (page
124).
2. Switch the ignition on.
3. Access the main menu on the
information display controls, and select
Settings
and then MyKey by pressing OK
or the > button.
4. Press
OK or the > button to select
Create MyKey.
5. When prompted, hold the
OK button
until you see a message informing you to
label this key as a MyKey. The key will be
restricted at your vehicle's next start.
MyKey is successfully created. Make sure
you label it so you can distinguish it from
the admin keys.
You can also program configurable
settings for the key(s). Refer to
Programming/Changing Configurable
Settings
.
Programming/Changing
Configurable Settings
Use the information display to access your
configurable MyKey settings:
1. Switch the ignition on using an admin key or fob.
2. Access the main menu on the information display controls, and select
Settings
, then MyKey by pressing OK
or the > button.
3. Use the arrow buttons to get to a configurable feature. 4. Press
OK or > to make a selection.
Note: You can clear or change your MyKey
settings at any time during the same key
cycle as you created the MyKey. Once you
have switched the engine off, however, you
will need an admin key to change or clear
your MyKey settings.
CLEARING ALL MYKEYS
You can clear all MyKeys within the same
key cycle as you created the MyKey. If you
switch your ignition off, however, you will
need to use an admin key to clear your
MyKeys.
Note: When you clear your MyKeys, you
remove all restrictions and return all MyKeys
to their original admin key status at once.
To clear all MyKeys of all MyKey settings,
use the information display to do the
following:
1. Access the main menu and select Settings
, then MyKey.
2. Scroll to
Clear MyKey and press the
OK button.
3. Hold the
OK button until ALL
MYKEYS CLEARED displays.
CHECKING MYKEY SYSTEM
STATUS
You can find information about your
programmed MyKeys by using the
information display.
MYKEY DISTANCE
Tracks the distance when drivers use a
MyKey. The only way to delete the
accumulated distance is by using an admin
key to clear your MyKey. If the distance
does not accumulate as expected, then
the intended user is not using the MyKey,
or an admin key user recently cleared and
then recreated a MyKey.

NUMBER OF MYKEY(S)
Indicates the number of MyKeys
programmed to your vehicle. Use this
feature to detect how many MyKeys you
have for your vehicle and determine when
a MyKey has been deleted.
NUMBER OF ADMIN KEY(S)
Indicates how many admin keys are
programmed to your vehicle. Use this
feature to determine how many
unrestricted keys you have for your vehicle,
and detect 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.
Vehicles With Ford-approved
Aftermarket Remote Start Systems
When using a Ford-approved aftermarket
remote start system, the vehicle recognizes
the remote start system as an additional
admin key. It is the vehicle
’s default setting.
You can also program the remote start as
a MyKey. As a result, the MyKey system
status menu display includes the remote
start system as an additional key in the
total count of MYKEY(S) PROGRAMMED
or ADMIN KEYS PROGRAMMED. See
Checking MyKey System Status (page
50). When you start your vehicle with a
Ford-approved aftermarket remote start
system, the system stalls the engine after
you open the door or shift the vehicle into
gear. This is intentional. When you restart
your vehicle, it reads your real key
(traditional key or intelligent key fob)
status instead of the remote start system
’s
status.
As an added precaution, owners of vehicles
equipped with traditional keys may want
to program the remote start system as a
MyKey, if the MyKey driver uses the remote
start fob. That way, when the MyKey driver
starts the vehicle with the remote start
system, the MyKey restrictions remain
active.
With a Ford-approved aftermarket remote
start system, it is possible to program all
real keys as MyKeys unintentionally. If this
happens, then the remote start fob is the
admin key. If you want to have only one
real key as a MyKey, or do not want to have
any MyKeys, then you need to use your
remote start to clear all MyKeys. In that
case, follow these steps:
• Enter the vehicle and close all doors.
• Remote start the vehicle using your
remote start fob.
• See
Clearing All MyKeys (page 50).
Follow Steps 1-3.
After clearing your MyKeys, you can create
a new MyKey. See
Creating a MyKey
(page 50).
Note: For vehicles with Intelligent Access
keys (push-button start), you cannot
program the remote start system as a
MyKey. Always treat the remote start fob
as you would any other admin key.

™

MyKey is not compatible with
non-Ford-approved aftermarket remote
start systems. If you choose to install a
remote start system, please see a Ford
authorized dealer for a Ford-approved
system.
The following information may help
customers who choose to install a
non-Ford-approved remote start system.
The actions provided below do not make
MyKey compatible with
non-Ford-approved remote start systems,
but may help you retain some MyKey
functions.
When using a non-Ford-approved remote
start system, the vehicle may recognize
the remote start system as an additional
admin key with its associated privileges. If
you restart the engine by inserting a key
into the ignition cylinder and recycling the
ignition completely, then you may retain
some MyKey functions. This action forces
your vehicle to read the traditional key
instead of the remote start fob and then
uses the key's associated privileges.
Note: The MyKey system status menu
display may include the remote start system
as an additional key in the total count of
MYKEY(S) PROGRAMMED or ADMIN KEYS
PROGRAMMED. See
Checking MyKey
System Status (page 50). As an added precaution, owners of vehicles
equipped with traditional keys may want
to program the remote start system as a
MyKey, if the MyKey driver uses the remote
