Car Finder Press the button twice within three seconds. A tone sounds and the direction indicators will flash. We recommend you use this method to locate your vehicle, rather than using the panic alarm. Sounding the Panic Alarm Press the button to sound the panic alarm. Press the button again or switch the ignition on to turn it off. Note: The panic alarm only operates when the ignition is off. Remote Start (If Equipped) WARNING To avoid exhaust fumes, do not use remote start if your vehicle is parked indoors or in areas that are not well ventilated. Note: Do not use remote start if your fuel level is low. The remote start button is on the transmitter. This feature allows you to start your vehicle from the outside. The transmitter has an extended operating range. You can configure vehicles with automatic climate control to turn on the automatic climate control when you remote start your vehicle. See Automatic Climate Control (page 146). A manual climate control system runs at the setting you set it to when you switched your vehicle off. Many states and provinces restrict the use of remote start. Check your local and state or provincial laws for specific requirements regarding remote start systems. The remote start system does not work if any of the following occur: • The ignition is on. • The anti-theft alarm triggers. • You switch off the feature. • The hood is open. • The transmission is not in park (P). • The battery voltage is below the minimum operating voltage. • The service engine soon light is on.

The label on your transmitter details the starting procedure. To remote start your vehicle: 1. Press the lock button. 2. Press the remote start button twice. The exterior lamps flash twice. The horn sounds if the system fails to start, unless quiet start is on. Quiet start runs the blower fan at a slower speed to reduce noise. You can switch it on or off in the information display. See General Information (page 111). Note: If you do not follow this sequence, your vehicle does not start remotely, the direction indicators do not flash twice and the horn does not sound. Note: If you remote start your vehicle with an integrated keyhead transmitter, you must switch on the ignition before driving your vehicle. If you remote start your vehicle with an intelligent access transmitter, you must press the push button ignition switch on the instrument panel once while applying the brake pedal before driving your vehicle. The power windows do not work during remote start and the radio does not turn on automatically. The parking lamps remain on and your vehicle runs for 5, 10 or 15 minutes depending on the setting. Extending the Engine Running Time To extend the engine running time duration of your vehicle during remote start, repeat steps 1 and 2 while the engine is running. If the duration is set to 10 minutes, the duration extends by another 10 minutes. For example, if your vehicle had been running from the first remote start for 5 minutes, your vehicle continues to run now for a total of 20 minutes. You can extend the remote start up to a maximum of 35 minutes. Wait at least five seconds before remote starting after the engine stops running. Turning Your Vehicle Off After Remote Starting Press the button once. The parking lamps 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 turn the remote start system on or off using the information display. See General Information (page 111). REPLACING A LOST KEY OR REMOTE CONTROL Replacement keys or remote controls can be purchased from an authorized dealer. Authorized dealers can program remote controls for your vehicle. See Passive Anti-Theft System (page 74). 60 Super Duty (TFE) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing Keys and Remote ControlsE138625
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION MyKey allows you to program keys with restricted driving modes to promote good driving habits. You can program the restrictions to all keys but one. Any keys that you did not program are administrator keys or admin keys. You can use admin keys to: • Create a MyKey with certain vehicle restrictions. • Program certain MyKey settings. • Clear all MyKey restrictions. After you program a MyKey, you can view the following information through the information display: • The total number of admin keys and MyKeys for your vehicle. • The total distance a MyKey driver traveled with your vehicle. Note: Every MyKey receives the same restrictions and settings. You cannot program them individually. Note: For vehicles equipped with a push-button start switch: When both a MyKey and an admin key are present when you start your vehicle, the system recognizes the admin key only. Standard Settings Not every vehicle includes the features listed below. If your vehicle has this equipment, then you cannot change the following settings when using a MyKey: • Seatbelt reminder or Belt-Minder™. MyKey mutes the audio system until drivers, and in some instances, passengers, fasten their seatbelts. Note: If your vehicle includes an AM/FM radio or a very basic audio system, then the radio may not mute. • Earlier low-fuel warning. The low-fuel warning activates earlier for MyKey drivers, giving them more time to refuel. • Certain driver alerts, stability systems or parking aids turn on automatically when you use the MyKey system. For example, Blind Spot Information System (BLIS), cross traffic alert, lane departure warning or forward collision warning. Note: MyKey drivers may be able to turn the lane departure warning feature off, but this feature turns back on automatically with every new key cycle. • Restricted touchscreen operation in some markets. For example, MyKey may prevent manual navigation destination input while the vehicle is in any gear other than park (P) or when the vehicle reaches a certain rate of speed. • Satellite radio adult content restrictions, if this feature is available in your market. Optional Settings You can configure certain vehicle feature settings when you first create a MyKey. You can also change the settings afterward with an admin key. 61 Super Duty (TFE) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing MyKey ™
Note: Not every feature applies to every vehicle in every market. When they are available for your vehicle, then they appear in your information display, providing choices to switch them on or off, or to select a more specific setting. • Various vehicle speed limits so the MyKey driver cannot exceed certain speeds. The information display shows warnings followed by an audible tone when the MyKey driver reaches the set speed. You cannot override the set speed by fully depressing the accelerator pedal. WARNING Do not set MyKey maximum speed limit to a limit that will prevent the driver from maintaining a safe speed considering posted speed limits and prevailing road conditions. The driver is always responsible to drive in accordance with local laws and prevailing conditions. Failure to do so could result in accident or injury. • Various vehicle speed reminders so MyKey drivers know when their vehicle speed approaches the limits. Warnings appear in your information display and a tone sounds when the MyKey drivers exceed the set vehicle speed. • The audio system's maximum volume limits to 45% so MyKey drivers can concentrate on the road. A message appears in the information display when MyKey drivers attempt to exceed the limited volume. MyKey also disables the automatic volume control. Note: If your vehicle includes an AM/FM radio or a very basic audio system, then the radio may not limit. • Always on setting. This setting forces certain features to remain on and active for MyKey drivers. For example, E911 or emergency assistance and the do not disturb features stay on even if a MyKey driver uses the feature's control to switch it off. CREATING A MYKEY Use the information display to create a MyKey. 1. Switch the ignition on using the key or the transmitter you want to program. 2. Access the main menu in the information display and then scroll through the menus to begin programming your MyKey. See Information Displays (page 111). 3. Follow the instructions in the display. 4. A confirmation message appears in the display after you finish programming your MyKey. The programmed restrictions apply when you restart your vehicle with the programmed key or transmitter. Note: Make sure you label the programmed MyKey so you can distinguish it from the admin keys. 62 Super Duty (TFE) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing MyKey ™
You can also program the optional MyKey settings. Programming or Changing Configurable Settings Use the information display to program or change your optional MyKey settings. 1. Switch the ignition on using the key or the transmitter you want to program. 2. Access the main menu in the information display and then scroll through the menus to change the settings of your MyKey.

The programmed restrictions apply when you restart your vehicle with the programmed key or transmitter. Note: You can clear or change your MyKey settings at any time during the same key cycle as you created the MyKey. If you switch the engine off, you must use an admin key to change or clear your optional MyKey settings. CLEARING ALL MYKEYS 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. 1. Switch the ignition on using an admin key. 2. Access the main menu in the information display and then scroll through the menus to begin clearing your MyKey programming. See Information Displays (page 111). 3. Follow the instructions in the display. 4. A confirmation message appears in the display after you finish clearing your MyKeys. Note: When you clear your MyKeys, you remove all restrictions and return all MyKeys to their original admin key status. You cannot remove the MyKey restrictions individually. CHECKING MYKEY SYSTEM STATUS You can find information about your programmed MyKeys by using the information display. See Information Displays (page 111). 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 all MyKeys. 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 MyKeys 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 all MyKeys have been deleted. Number of Admin Keys Indicates how many admin keys are programmed to your vehicle. Use this feature to determine how many admin keys you have for your vehicle, and detect if an additional MyKey has been programmed. 63 Super Duty (TFE) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing MyKey ™
