FORD 2013 Flex v.3 - Manual (Page 71)

PRINCIPLES 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 an administrator key or admin
key which 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 the vehicle.
• The total distance the vehicle has been driven with a MyKey.
For vehicles equipped with intelligent access (push button start), when
both a MyKey and an admin intelligent access key (fob) are present, the
admin fob will be recognized by the vehicle to start the engine.
Standard Settings
These settings cannot be changed:
• Belt-Minder. This cannot be disabled and the five-minute timer does
not expire. The audio system is muted when MyKey Belt-Minder is
activated.
• Early low fuel. Warnings are displayed in the information display
control followed by an audible tone when the fuel tank is at 1/8 tank
or less.
• Driver assist features, if equipped on your vehicle, are forced on: rear
parking aid, BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with cross-traffic
alert, lane departure warning, forward collision warning system and
satellite radio adult content restriction.
Optional Settings
These settings can be configured right after a MyKey is first created or
changed afterward with an admin key:
• Vehicle speed limit of 65, 70, 75 and 80 mph (105, 113, 121 and
130 km/h). Visual warnings are displayed followed by an audible tone
when vehicle speed has reached the selected top speed.
• Vehicle speed minder of 45, 55 or 65 mph (75, 90, or 105 km/h).
Visual warnings are displayed followed by an audible tone when the
preselected vehicle speed is exceeded.
