MyKey Troubleshooting- Page 54

As an added precaution, owners of vehicles
fitted with traditional keys may want to
program the remote start system as a
MyKey, if the MyKey driver uses the remote
start fob. That way, when the MyKey driver
starts the vehicle with the remote start
system, the MyKey restrictions remain
active.

With a non-Ford-approved aftermarket
remote start system, it is possible to
program all keys as MyKeys
unintentionally. If this happens, then the
remote start fob is the admin key. If you
want to have only one key as a MyKey, or
do not want to have any MyKeys, then you
need to use your remote start to clear all
MyKeys. In that case, follow these steps:

1.

Enter your vehicle and close all doors.

2. Start your vehicle using your

non-Ford-approved remote start fob.

3. See 

Clearing All MyKeys

 (page 48).

Follow Steps 1-3.

After clearing your MyKeys, you can create
a new MyKey.  See 

Creating a MyKey

(page 47).

Note:

For vehicles with Intelligent Access

keys (push-button start), you cannot
program the remote start system as a
MyKey. Always treat the remote start fob
as you would any other admin key.
