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 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 proved 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™. The following action may help you to retain some MyKey™
functions:
1. Restart the engine when you insert a key into the ignition cylinder.
2. In addition to the key that you have already programmed as a
MyKey™., owners of vehicles equipped with traditional keys may want 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 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 1-4 in theCreate a MyKey™section.
Vehicles equipped with an intelligent access key
(push button start)
•It is not possible to program any remote start system as MyKey™ on
vehicles equipped with intelligent access key (push button start).
Therefore, you should treat the remote start fob as you would any
other admin key. When the vehicle is started using remote start, the
system will stall the engine when you either enter the vehicle or shift
the vehicle into gear. Prior to the engine stall, the vehicle will have

administrative privileges. When you restart the engine, the vehicle will
identify the user as an admin or MyKey™ drive depending on the
settings of the actual key used to start the vehicle.
Note:For all vehicles, the number of MYKEY(S) PROGRAMMED or
ADMIN KEYS PROGRAMMED that is displayed in the MyKey™ system
status menus will include the non Ford-approved remote start system as
an additional key in the total count. See theCheck MyKey™ system
statussection.
Note:For all vehicles with a non Ford-approved remote start installed, it
is possible to program all ’real’ keys as MyKeys™, in which case, you will
need to use your remote start system to reset all MyKeys™ as admin
keys by doing the following:
1. Enter the vehicle, close all doors.
2. Remote start the vehicle using your non Ford-approved remote start
fob.
3. Follow Steps 1-4 in theClear MyKey™section.

Smart unlocks for integrated keyhead transmitter (IKT)
This feature helps to prevent you from locking yourself out of the vehicle
if your key is still in the ignition.
When you open one of the front doors and you lock the vehicle with the
power door lock control (on the driver or passenger door trim panel), all
the doors will lock, then all doors will automatically unlock reminding
you that your key is still in the ignition.
The vehicle can still be locked, with the key in the ignition, using the
control on the transmitter, or locking the vehicle with the keyless entry
keypad (only if the front doors are closed).
If both front doors are closed, the vehicle can be locked by any method,
regardless of whether the key is in the ignition or not.
Smart unlocks for intelligent access keys (IA key) (if equipped)
The smart unlock feature is intended to prevent you from unintentionally
locking your IA key inside your vehicle’s passenger compartment or rear
cargo area.
When you lock your vehicle using the driver or passenger power door
lock control (with the door open, vehicle in park and ignition off), after
you close the door the vehicle will search for an IA key in the passenger
compartment. If an IA key is found inside the vehicle, all of the doors
will immediately unlock and the horn will chirp, indicating that the IA
key is inside.
In order to override the smart unlock feature and intentionally lock the
IA key inside the vehicle, you can lock your vehicle using your keyless
entry keypad or using the
control on another IA key. Refer toKeyless
entry systemin this chapter for more information on keyless entry
keypad operation.

If your vehicle’s perimeter alarm is in the armed state, the smart unlock
feature will not allow you to lock your IA key inside the vehicle. When
the alarm is armed, if the IA key is detected in the vehicle, the liftgate
will automatically be released, and the horn will chirp, as a reminder that
the IA key is inside. If you would like to intentionally lock your IA key in
your vehicle, first disarm the perimeter alarm by unlocking the vehicle,
then place the IA key in the rear cargo area, close the liftgate, and rearm
your perimeter alarm system by locking the vehicle using your keyless
entry keypad or another IA key. For more information on
arming/disarming of the perimeter alarm system, refer toPerimeter
alarm systemin this chapter.
