Understanding the Ford MyKey System
Ford’s MyKey technology is a built-in safety feature that allows owners to program restrictions on certain keys. It’s especially useful for parents with young drivers, business fleets, or anyone who wants more control over vehicle use.
With a MyKey®, you can:
- Limit the vehicle’s top speed
- Set seatbelt reminders that mute audio until belts are fastened
- Restrict audio volume for safer driving
- Enable early low-fuel warnings
- Keep safety systems active, such as traction control, stability systems, and parking aids
- Control touchscreen functions while the vehicle is moving
These settings are controlled by an Admin Key. The Admin Key has full access to all vehicle features and can change or clear restrictions. Any other programmed key becomes a MyKey and follows the limits set.
Why Two Keys Are Essential
To program or reset the MyKey system, you must have a minimum of two working keys.
With only one key, the system cannot create or delete MyKey restrictions — a dealer-level reset would be required.
This is why, if you’ve lost a key or only have one working key, it’s best to have a second key made before attempting to manage your MyKey settings.
