GENERAL INFORMATION ON RADIO FREQUENCIES This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Note: Changes or modifications not expressively approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. The term IC before the radio certification number only signifies that Industry Canada technical specifications were met. The typical operating range for your transmitter is approximately 33 feet (10 meters). Vehicles with the remote start feature will have a greater range. One of the following could cause a decrease in operating range: • Weather conditions. • Nearby radio towers. • Structures around the vehicle. • Other vehicles parked next to your vehicle. The radio frequency used by your remote control can also be used by other short distance radio transmissions, for example amateur radios, medical equipment, wireless headphones, remote controls and alarm systems. If the frequencies are jammed, you will not be able to use your remote control. You can lock and unlock the doors with the key. Note: Make sure to lock your vehicle before leaving it unattended. Note: If you are in range, the remote control will operate if you press any button unintentionally. Intelligent Access (If Equipped) The system uses a radio frequency signal to communicate with your vehicle and authorize your vehicle to unlock when one of the following conditions are met: • You activate the front exterior door handle switch. • You press the luggage compartment button. • You press a button on the transmitter. If excessive radio frequency interference is present in the area or if the transmitter battery is low, you may need to mechanically unlock your door. You can use the mechanical key blade in your intelligent access key to open the driver door in this situation. See Remote Control (page 48). REMOTE CONTROL Intelligent Access Key 48 Fusion (CC7) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing Keys and Remote ControlsE218399
The intelligent access keys operate the power locks and the remote start system. The key must be in your vehicle to use the push button start. Removable Key Blade The intelligent access key also contains a removable key blade that you can use to unlock your vehicle. Push the release button and pull the key blade out. Note: Your vehicle keys came with a security label that provides important key cut information. Keep the label in a safe place for future reference. Using the Key Blade The key cylinder is under a cap on the driver door handle. To remove the cap: 1. Insert the key blade into the slot on the bottom of the handle and apply upward pressure. 2. While maintaining upward pressure, move the cap rearward to release it. Gently remove the key while doing so. To install the cap: 49 Fusion (CC7) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing Keys and Remote ControlsE218400 E151795 E151956 E151957
1. Place the cap just forward of the key cylinder. 2. Applying pressure to the cap, move it forward until it is in place. You may hear a snap as it engages. Make sure you have properly installed the cap by trying to move it rearward. Replacing the Battery Note: Refer to local regulations when disposing of transmitter batteries. Note: Do not wipe off any grease on the battery terminals or on the back surface of the circuit board. Note: Replacing the battery does not erase the programmed key from your vehicle. The transmitter should operate normally. A message appears in the information display when the remote control battery is low. See Information Messages (page 102). The remote control uses one coin-type three-volt lithium battery CR2032 or equivalent. 1. Push the release button and pull the key blade out. 2. Twist a thin coin under the tab hidden behind the key blade head to remove the battery cover. 50 Fusion (CC7) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing Keys and Remote ControlsE218400 E218401
3. Insert a suitable tool, for example a screwdriver, in the position shown and carefully remove the battery. 4. Install a new battery with the + facing upward. 5. Reinstall the battery cover and the key blade. Car Finder Press the button twice within three seconds. The horn sounds and the direction indicators flash. We recommend you use this method to locate your vehicle, rather than using the panic alarm. Sounding the Panic Alarm Note: The panic alarm only operates when the ignition is off. Press the button to sound the panic alarm. Press the button again or switch the ignition on to turn it 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. If your vehicle has automatic climate control, you can configure it to operate when you remote start your vehicle. See Climate Control (page 117). A manual climate control system will run at the setting it was set to when you switched your vehicle off. Many states and provinces have restrictions for 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 the feature off in the information display. • The hood is open. • The transmission is not in park (P). • The battery voltage is below the minimum operating voltage. 51 Fusion (CC7) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing Keys and Remote ControlsE218402 E138623 E138624 E138625

Remote Starting your Vehicle Note: You must press each button within three seconds of each other. Your vehicle will not remote start if you do not follow this sequence. The label on your transmitter details the starting procedure. To remote start your vehicle: 1. Press the lock button to lock all the doors. 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 this feature on or off in the information display. See General Information (page 93). Note: 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 will run 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 engine running time duration to a maximum of 30 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. Your vehicle and the parking lamps turn off. You may have to be closer to your vehicle than when starting due to ground reflection and the added noise of your running vehicle. You can switch this feature on or off in the information display.

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. 54 Fusion (CC7) 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 93). 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. 55 Fusion (CC7) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing MyKey ™

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 93). 3.

CHECKING MYKEY SYSTEM STATUS You can find information about your programmed MyKeys by using the information display. See Information Displays (page 93). 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. 56 Fusion (CC7) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing MyKey ™
