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, see an
