Mykey; Principle Of Operation; Optional Settings; Programming And Changing Optional Settings - Ford Fiesta Owner's Manual

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

MyKey allows you to program keys with
restricted driving modes to promote good
driving habits. You can activate these
restricted modes on all but one key
programmed to your vehicle. Any keys that
have not been programmed are referred
to as an administrator key or admin key.
An admin key can be used to:
• create a restricted key
• program optional MyKey settings
• clear all MyKey features altogether.
Once a key has been programmed you can
access the following information using the
information display control:
• How many admin keys and MyKeys are
programmed to your vehicle.
• The total distance your vehicle has
been driven with a MyKey.
Note: For vehicles fitted with keyless start,
when both a MyKey and an admin key are
present, the admin key will be recognised
by your vehicle to start the engine.
Standard Settings
These settings cannot be changed:
• Seat Belt Minder. This cannot be
disabled and the five minute timer does
not expire. The audio system is muted
when MyKey seat belt minder is
activated.
• Early low fuel warning. Warnings are
displayed in the information display
followed by an audible tone when the
fuel tank is one eighth full or less.
• The parking aid and active city stop
systems are forced on.

MyKey

(If Equipped)

Optional Settings

These settings can be configured
immediately after a MyKey is first created
or changed later using an admin key:
• Vehicle speed limit. Visual warnings
are displayed followed by an audible
tone when your vehicle speed has
reached this limit.
• Various vehicle speed warnings. Visual
warnings are displayed followed by an
audible tone when the preselected
vehicle speed is exceeded.
• Audio system maximum volume. A
message in the audio system is
displayed when attempting to exceed
the limited volume.

CREATING A MYKEY

1. Insert the key you want to program into
the ignition or, if your vehicle is fitted
with keyless starting, hold the key next
to the steering column. See Keyless
Starting (page 93).
2. Switch the ignition on.
3. Press the MENU button, select MyKey
and press the OK button.
4. Select Create MyKey and press the
OK button.
5. When prompted, press and hold the
OK button until you see a message
informing you to label this key as a
MyKey. The key will be restricted the
next time you use it to start your
vehicle.
The key is successfully programmed. Make
sure you label it so you can distinguish it
from the admin keys.
