Optional Restricted Features

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Mercury Mariner and 2010 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

If the vehicle is equipped with a Ford approved remote start system and the remote start system was used to start the vehicle, the remote start system causes the vehicle to stall if a door is opened or the vehicle is shifted into gear. At this time, an ignition key must be inserted into the ignition lock cylinder and cycled to the ON position in order for the vehicle to be driven. The vehicle cannot be driven after a remote start has occurred unless a key is inserted into the ignition lock cylinder and turned to the ON position.

A remote start system (if equipped) must be a Ford approved remote start system or issues with the MyKey™ feature may occur.

The remote start system decreases the number of keys that can be programmed to the vehicle by one keycode.

The MyKey™ feature does not function if the unlimited key mode is turned on.

Refer to MYKEY(TM) for MyKey™ system checks and system warning displays.

Refer to MYKEY™ PROGRAMMING  or to the Owner's Literature for MyKey™ programming information.
