MyKey™ CHECKING MYKEY SYSTEM STATUS The information display shows the programmed keys' status: • MYKEY DISTANCE: Tracks distance when drivers use restricted keys. The only way to delete the accumulated distance is by using an admin key to reset this to zero. If the MyKey distance does not accumulate as expected, then: • The intended user is not using the programmed key. • An admin key user recently reset the distance. • NUMBER OF MYKEY(S): Indicates the number of restricted keys programmed to the vehicle. Use this feature to detect how many restricted keys you have for your vehicle, or when a MyKey has recently been deleted. • NUMBER OF ADMIN KEY(S): Indicates how many admin keys are programmed to the vehicle. Use this feature to determine how many unrestricted keys you have for your vehicle, or 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, please see your Ford authorized dealer for a Ford-approved remote start system.
