Remote Start System and MyKey
As an added security feature to help prevent vehicle
theft, vehicles that are started with a Remote Start
System (either a factory-installed or a Genuine Ford
Accessory) may shut off the engine when a door or
trunk/liftgate is opened or unlocked. This is normal
system operation and associated MyKey features
and functionality will resume when the vehicle
is restarted. Refer to the vehicle owner guide or
documentation for additional information.
NOTE: For product features, please see the Major Product Summary pages and/or the Dealer Ordering Guide for availability.
