key fob LINCOLN MKZ HYBRID 2013 Owners Manual

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
administrator keys or admin keys.
These can be used to:
•
create a MyKey
• program configurable MyKey
settings
• clear all MyKey features.
When you have programmed a MyKey,
you can access the following
information using the information
display:
• How many admin keys and MyKeys
are programmed to your vehicle.
• The total distance your vehicle has
traveled using a MyKey.
Note: All MyKeys are programmed to
the same settings. You cannot program
them individually.
Note: For vehicles with intelligent
access with 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
while switching the ignition on to start
the vehicle.
Non-configurable Settings
The following settings cannot be
changed by an admin key user: •
Belt-Minder. You cannot disable
this feature. The audio system will
mute when the front seat
occupants’ safety belts are not
fastened.
• Early low fuel. The low-fuel
warning activates earlier, giving the
MyKey user more time to refuel.
• Driver assist features, if equipped
on your vehicle, are forced on:
parking aid, blind spot information
system (BLIS) with cross traffic
alert, lane departure warning and
forward collision warning system.
Configurable Settings
With an admin key, you can configure
certain MyKey settings when you first
create a MyKey and before you recycle
the key or restart the vehicle. You can
also change the settings afterward
with an admin key.
• A vehicle speed limit can be set.
Warnings will be shown in the
display followed by an audible
tone when your vehicle reaches the
set speed. You cannot override the
set speed by fully depressing the
accelerator pedal or by setting
cruise control.
• Vehicle speed minders of 45, 55 or
65 mph (75, 90 or 105 km/h).
Once you select a speed, it will be
shown in the display, followed by
an audible tone when the
preselected vehicle speed is
exceeded.

•
Audio system maximum volume
of 45%. A message will be shown
in the display when you attempt
to exceed the limited volume. Also,
the speed-sensitive or
compensated automatic volume
control will be disabled.
• Always on setting. When this is
selected, you will not be able to
turn off Advance Trac (if your
vehicle is equipped with this
feature).
CREATING A MYKEY
Use the information display to create
a MyKey:
1. Insert the key you want to program
into the ignition. If your vehicle is
equipped with a push-button start,
place the intelligent access key fob
into the backup slot. The location of
your backup slot is in another chapter.
See Starting and Stopping the
Engine (page 161).
2. Switch the ignition on.
3. Access the main menu on the
information display controls, and
select
Settings then MyKey by
pressing OK or the > button.
4. Press
OK or the > button to select
Create MyKey.
5. When prompted, hold the
OK
button until you see a message
informing you to label this key as a
MyKey. The key will be restricted at
the next start. MyKey is successfully created. Make
sure you label it so you can distinguish
it from the admin keys.
You can also program configurable
settings for the key(s). See
Programming/Changing
Configurable Settings
.
Programming/Changing
Configurable Settings
Use the information display to access
your configurable MyKey settings.
1. Switch the ignition on using an admin key or fob.
2. Access the main menu on the information display controls, and
select
Settings, then MyKey by
pressing OK or > button.
3. Use the arrow buttons to get to a feature.
4. Press OK or > to make a selection.
Note: You can clear or change your
MyKey settings at any time during the
same key cycle as you created the
MyKey. Once you have switched the
vehicle off, however, you will need an
admin key to change or clear your
MyKey settings.
CLEARING ALL MYKEYS
You can clear all MyKeys within the
same key cycle as you created the
MyKey. If you switch your ignition off,
however, you will need to use an
admin key to clear your MyKeys.

Note:
When you clear your MyKeys,
you remove all restrictions and return
all MyKeys to their original admin key
status at once.
To clear all MyKeys of all MyKey
settings, use the information display
to do the following:
1. Access the main menu and select Settings, then MyKey.
2. Scroll to
Clear MyKey and press
the OK button.
3. Hold the
OK button until ALL
MYKEYS CLEARED displays.
CHECKING MYKEY SYSTEM
STATUS
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
authorized dealer for a Ford-approved
remote start system.
