KEYS
Integrated keyhead transmitters (IKTs) (if equipped)
Your vehicle may be equipped with
two integrated keyhead transmitters
(IKTs). The key blade is used to
start the vehicle and unlock/lock the
driver’s door from outside the
vehicle. The transmitter portion
functions as the remote entry
transmitter.
Your IKTs are programmed to your vehicle; using a non-programmed key
will not permit your vehicle to start. If you lose one or both of your IKTs,
replacements are available through your authorized dealer. Standard
SecuriLockkeys without remote entry transmitter functionality can also
be purchased from your authorized dealer if desired.
Always carry a spare key with you in case of an emergency.
For more information regarding programming replacement IKTs, refer to
theSecuriLockpassive anti-theft systemsection later in this chapter.
Note:Your vehicle’s IKTs were
issued with a security label that
provides important vehicle key cut
information. It is recommended that
you keep the label in a safe place
for future reference.
Intelligent Access Key (IA key) (if equipped)
Your vehicle may be equipped with
two intelligent access keys which
operate the power locks and the
remote start system. The IA key
must be in the vehicle to activate
the push button start system.

that provides important vehicle key
cut information. It is recommended
that you keep the tag in a safe place
for future reference.
MYKEY
The MyKeyfeature allows you to program a restricted driving mode to
promote good driving habits. All but one of the keys programmed to the
vehicle can be activated as a MyKey. The key will remain restricted
until MyKeyis cleared. Any remaining keys are referred to as an
“administrator key” or admin key. The admin key can be used to create a
MyKey, program optional MyKeysettings, and clear the MyKey
feature. When the MyKeyfeature is enabled the user can use system
check in the message center to see how many MyKeysand admin keys
are programmed to the vehicle, and see the total distance the vehicle has
been driven with the MyKeyactive.

The following information MAY help customers who choose to use a non
Ford-approved remote start system. The actions provided below do NOT
make MyKeycompatible with non Ford-approved remote start systems,
but it MAY help you to retain some MyKeyfunctions.
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 MyKeyif the
remote start fob is used by the MyKey driver.
To program a non Ford-approved remote start system as MyKey,dothe
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 MyKeysection.
Vehicles equipped with an intelligent access key (push button
start)
•It is not possible to program any remote start system as MyKeyon
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 MyKeydrive 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 MyKeysystem
status menus will include the non Ford-approved remote start system as
an additional key in the total count. See theCheck MyKeysystem

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 by using the
keyless entry keypad with the driver door closed, or by pressing the
control on the transmitter even if the doors are not 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 after all doors are
closed by using the keyless entry keypad, pressing the
control on
another IA key or touching the locking area on the handle with another

REMOTE ENTRY SYSTEM
The integrated keyhead transmitters (IKTs) and intelligent access keys
(IA key) comply with part 15 of the FCC rules and with RSS-210 of
Industry Canada. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device
must accept any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment.
The typical operating range for your transmitter is approximately 33 feet
(10 meters) unless equipped with remote start, which allows for greater
range performance. A decrease in operating range could be caused by:
•weather conditions,
•nearby radio towers,
•structures around the vehicle, or
•other vehicles parked next to your vehicle.

The remote entry lock/unlock feature operates in any ignition position
except while the vehicle is in the start position. The panic feature
operates with the ignition off.
If there are problems with the remote entry system, make sure to take
ALL integrated keyhead transmitters or intelligent access keys
with you to the authorized dealer in order to aid in troubleshooting the
problem.
Intelligent access (if equipped)
Your intelligent access system uses a radio frequency (RF) signal to
communicate with your vehicle and authorize your vehicle to unlock
when commanded (either by touching the inside of the driver or front
passenger exterior door handle, by activating the exterior power liftgate
button, or a button on the transmitter itself). If excessive RF
interference is present in the area, or if your transmitter battery is low, it
may be necessary to mechanically unlock your door. The mechanical key
blade in your IA key can be used to open the driver’s door in this
situation (refer toIntelligent access keyin this chapter for more
information on the location and use of the mechanical key blade).
Your vehicle will allow you to unlock and enter your vehicle without
actively using a key or transmitter. You can use the intelligent access
feature at the front doors or at the liftgate. You can activate the
intelligent access feature as long as you have one of your IA keys within
range of the front doors or the liftgate.
