Service Data Recording
Service data recorders in your vehicle
are capable of collecting and storing
diagnostic information about your
vehicle. This potentially includes
information about the performance
or status of various systems and
modules in the vehicle, such as engine,
throttle, steering or brake systems. In
order to properly diagnose and service
your vehicle, Ford Motor Company,
Ford of Canada, and service and repair
facilities may access or share among
them vehicle diagnostic information
received through a direct connection
to your vehicle when diagnosing or
servicing your vehicle. Additionally,
when your vehicle is in for service or
repair, Ford Motor Company, Ford of
Canada, and service and repair
facilities may access or share among
them data for vehicle improvement
purposes. For U.S. only (if equipped),
if you choose to use the SYNC Vehicle
Health Report, you consent that
certain diagnostic information may
also be accessed electronically by
Ford Motor Company and Ford
authorized service facilities, and that
the diagnostic information may be
used for any purpose. See MyLincoln
Touch
™ (page 337).

Note:
Including to the extent that
any law pertaining to Event Data
Recorders applies to SYNC or its
features, please note the following:
Once 911 Assist (if equipped) is
enabled (set ON), 911 Assist may,
through any paired and connected
cell phone, disclose to emergency
services that the vehicle has been in
a crash involving the deployment of
an airbag or, in certain vehicles, the
activation of the fuel pump shut-off.
Certain versions or updates to 911
Assist may also be capable of being
used to electronically or verbally
provide to 911 operators the vehicle
location (such as latitude and
longitude), and/or other details
about the vehicle or crash or
personal information about the
occupants to assist 911 operators to
provide the most appropriate
emergency services. If you do not
want to disclose this information, do
not activate the 911 Assist feature.
See MyLincoln Touch ™ (page 337).Additionally, when you connect to
Traffic, Directions and Information
(if equipped, U.S. only), the service
uses GPS technology and
advanced vehicle sensors to
collect the vehicle
’s current
location, travel direction, and
speed (“ vehicle travel
information ”), only to help provide
you with the directions, traffic
reports, or business searches that
you request. If you do not want
Ford or its vendors to receive this
information, do not activate the
service. Ford Motor Company and
the vendors it uses to provide you
with this information do not store
your vehicle travel information.
For more information, see Traffic,
Directions and Information, Terms
and Conditions. See
MyLincoln
Touch ™ (page 337).

Introduction

Deactivating and Activating the
Belt-Minder Feature
WARNING
While the system allows you to
deactivate it, this system is
designed to improve your chances of
being safely belted and surviving an
accident. We recommend you leave
the system activated for yourself and
others who may use the vehicle. To
reduce the risk of injury, do not
deactivate or activate the system
while driving the vehicle. Note:
The driver and front passenger
warning are deactivated and activated
independently. When deactivating or
activating one seating position, do not
buckle the other position as this will
terminate the process.
Read Steps 1 - 4 thoroughly before
proceeding with the deactivation or
activation programming procedure.
The system can be deactivated or
activated by performing the following
procedure:
Before following the procedure, make
sure that:
• the parking brake is set
• the transmission selector lever is
in position P (automatic
transmission) or N (manual
transmission)
• the ignition is off
• the driver and front passenger
safety belts are unbuckled.
1. Turn the ignition on. DO NOT START THE ENGINE. 2. Wait until the safety belt warning
light turns off (approximately one
minute). After Step 2, wait an
additional five seconds before
proceeding with Step 3. Once Step
3 is started, the procedure must be
completed within 30 seconds.
3. For the seating position being disabled, buckle then unbuckle the
safety belt three times at a
moderate speed, ending in the
unbuckled state. After Step 3, the
safety belt warning light will turn
on.
4. While the safety belt warning light
is on, buckle and then unbuckle the
safety belt. After Step 4, the safety
belt warning light will flash for
confirmation.
• This will disable the feature for
that seating position if it is
currently enabled.
• This will enable the feature for that
seating position if it is currently
disabled.

Safety Belts

The remote start feature allows you
to start the vehicle from outside the
vehicle. The transmitter has an
extended operating range.
Vehicles with automatic climate
control can be configured to operate
when the vehicle is remote started.
See Climate Control (page 126). A
manual climate control system will
run at the setting it was set to when
the vehicle was last turned off.
Many states and provinces have
restrictions for the use of remote start.
Check your local and state or
provincial laws for specific
requirements regarding remote start
systems.
The remote start system will not work
if:
• the ignition is on
• the alarm system is triggered
• the feature has been disabled
• the hood is not closed
• two remote vehicle starts have
already been attempted within the
last hour
• the vehicle is not in
P
• the vehicle battery voltage is too
low
• the service engine soon light is on.

Remote Starting the Vehicle
Note: Each button press must be done
within three seconds of each other. The
vehicle will not remote start if this
sequence is not followed and the horn
will not chirp. The tag with your transmitter details
the starting procedure. To remote
start the vehicle:
1.
Press the lock button to lock all the
doors.
2. Press the remote start button twice. The exterior lamps will flash
twice.
56
Keys and Remote ControlsE138626

The horn will chirp if the system fails
to start, unless quiet start is on. Quiet
start will run the blower fan at a
slower speed to reduce noise. It can
be switched on or off in the
information display. See General
Information (page 100).
Note: If the vehicle has been remote
started and is equipped with an
integrated keyhead transmitter, you
must turn the ignition on before driving
the vehicle. If equipped with an
intelligent access transmitter, you must
press the
START/STOP button on the
instrument panel once while applying
the brake pedal before driving the
vehicle.
The power windows will be inhibited
during the remote start and the radio
will not turn on automatically.
The parking lamps will remain on and
the engine will run for 5, 10, or 15
minutes, depending on the setting.
Extending the Vehicle Run Time
Repeat Steps 1 and 2 with the vehicle
still running to extend the run time for
another remote start duration. If you
programmed the duration to last 10
minutes, the second 10 minutes will
begin after what is left of the first
activation time. For example, if the
vehicle had been running from the first
remote start for five minutes, the
vehicle will continue to run now for a
total of 15 minutes. You can only
extend the remote start once. Wait at least five seconds before
remote starting after a vehicle
shutdown. Only two remote starts are
allowed.
The ignition must be turned on and
then back off or allow one hour to
pass before using remote start again
if additional remote starts are desired.
Turning the Vehicle Off After
Remote Starting
Press the button once. The
parking lamps will turn off.
You may have to be closer to
the vehicle than when starting due to
ground reflection and the added noise
of the running vehicle.
You can disable or enable the remote
start system through the information
display. See
General Information
(page 100).
REPLACING A LOST KEY OR
REMOTE CONTROL
Replacement or additional keys or
remote controls can be purchased
from your authorized dealer. Your
dealer can program the transmitters
to your vehicle or you may be able to
program them yourself. See Passive
Anti-Theft System
(page 72).

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 an "administrator key" or "admin
key" which can be used to:
•
create a restricted key
• program optional MyKey settings
• clear all MyKey features
altogether.
Once a key has been programmed you
can access the following information
using the information display control:
• How many admin keys and MyKeys
are programmed to the vehicle.
• The total distance the vehicle has
been driven with a MyKey.
For vehicles equipped with intelligent
access key (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 to start the engine. Standard Settings
These settings cannot be changed.
•
Belt-Minder®. This cannot be
disabled and the five-minute timer
does not expire. The audio system
is muted when MyKey
Belt-Minder® is activated.
• Early low fuel. Warnings are
displayed in the information
display control followed by an
audible tone when the fuel tank is
at one-eighth tank or less.
• Driver assist features, if equipped
on your vehicle, are forced on: Rear
parking aid, Blind spot information
system (BLIS®) with cross traffic
alert, Lane departure warning,
Forward collision warning system
and Satellite radio adult content
restriction.
Optional Settings
These settings can be configured right
after a MyKey is first created or
changed afterward with an admin key.
• Vehicle speed limit of 65, 70, 75
and 80 mph (105, 113, 121 and 130
km/h). Visual warnings are
displayed followed by an audible
tone when vehicle speed has
reached the selected top speed.
• Vehicle speed minder of 45, 55 or
65 mph (75, 90, or 105 km/h).
Visual warnings are displayed
followed by an audible tone when
the preselected vehicle speed is
exceeded.
