is not being used by the intended user. The only way to reset this
odometer to zero is by clearing MyKey. If this odometer is lower than
the last time you checked, then the MyKeysystem has been recently
cleared.

programmed to the vehicle. Can be used to detect deletion of a
MyKey.

start systems. If you choose to install a remote start system please see
your authorized dealer for a Ford approved remote start system.

2. Remote start the vehicle using a remote start fob.
