Mykey; Principle Of Operation - Ford Fiesta 2019 Owner's Manual

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. These can be used to:
• Create a MyKey.
• Program configurable MyKey settings.
• Clear all MyKey features.
When you have created 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 any MyKey.
Note: You can only program all MyKeys to
the same settings.
Note: For vehicles with keyless start, when
both a MyKey transmitter and an admin
transmitter are present, the admin
transmitter will be recognized by the vehicle
to start the engine.
Non-configurable Settings
The following settings cannot be changed:
• Belt-Minder . You cannot disable this
feature. The audio system will mute
when the driver and front seat
passengers' safety belts are not
fastened.
• Early low-fuel warning. The low-fuel
warning activates earlier, giving the
MyKey user more time to refuel.
• Driver assist features, if equipped on
your vehicle, are forced on: parking aid.
• Satellite radio adult content
restrictions.
