FORD 2013 F-550 v.2 - Manual (Page 68)

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
MyKey allows you to program keys with restricted driving modes to
promote good driving habits. Program all but one of the keys to activate
the restricted modes. The remaining unprogrammed key is referred to as
an administrator key or an admin key which can be used to:
• create a restricted key
• program optional MyKey settings
• clear all MyKey features altogether.
Once you program a key, you can access the following information
through the information display to learn:
• The number of admin keys and MyKeys that are programmed to the
vehicle.
• The total distance driven with a MyKey.
In vehicles equipped with intelligent access keys (push-button start):
when more than one passenger has a MyKey-equipped key fob while
riding inside of the vehicle, the vehicle recognizes the admin fob to start
the engine.
If you start your vehicle while using a MyKey, your key’s programmed
restrictions will remain active until you turn the engine off. This remains
true, even if a passenger with an admin key enters your vehicle after you
started the engine with a MyKey.
Standard Settings
These settings activate automatically with a programmed MyKey:
• Belt-Minder. The audible safety belt warning tones continue and do
not time out after approximately five minutes. The audio system also
mutes until drivers and front passengers fasten their safety belts.
(Not available in vehicles equipped with AM/FM only audio systems.)
• Early low fuel. The low-fuel warning activates earlier, giving MyKey
drivers more time to refuel.
• Driver assist features, if equipped, remain on and active: Parking aid,
Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) with Cross Traffic Alert and the
Collision Warning System.
