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 110). Note: If you have remote started your vehicle with an integrated keyhead transmitter, you must switch on the ignition before driving your vehicle. With an intelligent access transmitter, you must press the brake pedal before driving your vehicle. The power windows do not work during the remote start and the radio does not turn on automatically. The parking lamps remain on and the vehicle runs for 5, 10 or 15 minutes depending on the setting. Extending the Vehicle Run Time Repeat Steps 1 and 2 with the vehicle still running to extend the run time for another remote start period. If you programmed the periods to last 10 minutes, the second 10 minutes begins after what is left of the first activation time. For example, if the vehicle has run from the first remote start for five minutes, the 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 a vehicle shutdown. Turning the 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 disable or enable the remote start system through the information display. See General Information (page 110). 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). 58 F-150 (TFC) 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. 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. They 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 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. Non-configurable Settings The following settings cannot be changed by an admin key user: • Belt-Minder or safety belt reminder. 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 is activated 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), cross traffic alert, lane departure warning and forward collision warning system. • Satellite radio adult content restrictions (available only in some markets). Note: When you switch lane departure warning off temporarily, it turns on at the next ignition cycle. 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. 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. 59 F-150 (TFC) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing MyKey ™ (If Equipped)
• Various vehicle speed reminders so you know when your vehicle approaches the limits. Warnings appear in the information display and an audible warning sounds when you exceed the limit. • 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 or traction control, 911 Assist or Emergency Assistance, or Do Not Disturb (if your vehicle is equipped with these features). CREATING A MYKEY Use the information display to create a MyKey. To create a MyKey: 1. Place your key into the ignition or, if your vehicle is equipped with keyless start, place your transmitter into the backup position. Details on the backup position's location are in another chapter. See Starting a Gasoline Engine (page 169). 2. Switch the ignition on. 3. Access the main menu using your left-hand-side steering wheel controls. 4. Depending on your display options, select either Settings or Advanced Settings, then MyKey and finally Create MyKey. 5. When the menu reads Hold OK to Create MyKey, press and hold the OK button to program a MyKey. 6. The display then prompts you to program the Configurable settings. You can program the configurable features now or at any time. You can advance through the settings without programming them by pressing the OK button. MyKey then keeps all of the default settings. When you finish programming your MyKey, the Type 3 information display adds a confirmation screen, New MyKey Has Been Created . Programming/Changing Configurable Settings Use the information display to program or change your configurable MyKey settings. 1. Place your admin key into the ignition or, if your vehicle is equipped with keyless start, place your admin transmitter into the backup position. Details on the backup position's location are in another chapter. See Starting a Gasoline Engine (page 169). 2. Depending on your display options, select either Settings or Advanced Settings, then MyKey and finally to various configurable features. 3. Scroll down through the choices, and then highlight the feature you want to configure. 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 engine 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. 60 F-150 (TFC) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing MyKey ™ (If Equipped)
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 and the left-hand-side steering wheel controls: 1. Access the main menu and select Settings, then MyKey and finally Clear MyKeys. 2. Press and hold OK. 3. When you finish clearing all MyKeys, the Type 3 information display adds a confirmation screen, MyKey Cleared. CHECKING MYKEY SYSTEM STATUS You can find information on programmed MyKey(s) using the information display control on the steering wheel. See Information Displays (page 110). To find information on programmed MyKey(s), press the left arrow button to access the main menu and scroll to: Description Message Press the OK button. Settings Press the OK button. MyKey Select one of the following: 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 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. MyKey Dist.
