Ford Mustang (2018 year). Manual — part 12

The parking lamps remain on and your
vehicle will run for 5, 10 or 15 minutes,
depending on the setting.

Extending the Engine Running Time

To extend the engine running time duration
of your vehicle during remote start, repeat
steps 1 and 2 while the engine is running.
If the duration is set to 15 minutes, the
duration extends by another 15 minutes.
For example, if your vehicle had been
running from the first remote start for 10
minutes, your vehicle continues to run now
for a total of 30 minutes. You can extend
the engine running time duration to a
maximum of 30 minutes.

Wait at least five seconds before remote
starting after the engine stops running.

Press the button once. Your
vehicle and the parking lamps
turn off.

You may have to be closer to your vehicle
than when starting due to ground reflection
and the added noise of your running
vehicle.

You can switch this feature on or off in the
information display.

Memory Feature

You can program your intelligent access
key to recall memory positions. See
Memory Function (page 118).

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 programmed 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 a MyKey.

Note: All MyKeys are programmed to the
same settings. You cannot program them
individually.

Note: For vehicles with intelligent access
with 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 while switching the ignition
on to start the vehicle.

Non-configurable Settings

The following settings cannot be changed
by an admin key user:

•

Seatbelt reminder. You cannot disable
this feature. The audio system will
mute when the front seat occupants’
safety belts are not fastened.

•

Early low fuel. 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: rear parking
aid, blind spot information system
(BLIS) with cross traffic alert, lane
departure warning and forward
collision warning system.

•

Track Mode, if your vehicle is equipped
with this feature, is restricted.

•

Drag Strip, if your vehicle is equipped
with this feature, is restricted.

•

MyMode, if your vehicle is equipped
with this feature, is restricted.

•

Satellite radio adult content
restrictions (available only in some
markets).

Note: You may be able to temporarily
disable the lane departure warning feature.
This feature is automatically enabled with
every new key cycle.

Configurable Settings

With an admin key, you can configure
certain MyKey settings when you first
create a MyKey and before you recycle the
key or restart the vehicle. You can also
change the settings afterward with an
admin key.

•

A vehicle speed limit can be set.
Warnings will be shown in the display
followed by an audible tone when your
vehicle reaches the set speed. You
cannot override the set speed by fully
depressing the accelerator pedal or by
setting cruise control.

WARNING

Do not set MyKey maximum speed
limit to a limit that will prevent the
driver from maintaining a safe speed

considering posted speed limits and
prevailing road conditions. The driver is
always responsible to drive in accordance
with local laws and prevailing conditions.
Failure to do so could result in accident or
injury.

•

Various vehicle speed minders can be
set. Once you select a speed, it will be
shown in the display, followed by an
audible tone when the preselected
vehicle speed is exceeded.

•

Audio system maximum volume of
45%. A message will be shown in the
display when you attempt to exceed
the limited volume. Also, the
speed-sensitive or compensated
automatic volume control will be
disabled.

•

Always on setting. When this is
selected, you will not be able to turn
off traction control, Emergency
Assistance and Do Not Disturb (if your
vehicle is equipped with these
features), and Sport Mode will not be
available to MyKey drivers.
