For more detailed information, please reference the 2022 Ford Mustang Mach-E Owner’s Manual.

WHAT IS MYKEY

MyKey allows you to program keys and mobile devices with restricted driving modes to promote good driving habits.

NON-CONFIGURABLE MYKEY SETTINGS

Seatbelt Reminder or Belt-Minder™

MyKey mutes the audio system until the front seat belts are buckled.

Note:   If your vehicle includes an AM/FM radio or a very basic audio system, then the radio may not mute.

Satellite Radio (If Equipped)

Some Satellite radio channels have restricted access to adult radio content.

Driving and Parking Aids

Settings for parking aids, blind spot information system, and cross-traffic alert cannot be configured. These systems turn on when the vehicle turns on and cannot be switched off with a MyKey.

Settings for pre-collision assist and lane-keeping cannot be configured. These systems turn on when the vehicle turns on but can be switched off with a MyKey.

A new destination in the navigation system can only be set using voice commands when using a MyKey, and with your vehicle moving.

Note:   MyKey drivers may be able to turn the lane departure warning feature off, but this feature turns back on automatically with every new key cycle.

CONFIGURABLE MYKEY SETTINGS

You can configure the following settings after creating a MyKey.   See   Creating a MyKey. 

Speed Limit

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 an accident or injury.

You can set a speed limit for your vehicle. Warning messages appear on the touchscreen and a tone sounds if your vehicle reaches the set speed. You cannot override the set speed when using a MyKey.

Speed Minder

You can set a speed reminder for your vehicle. Warning messages appear on the touchscreen and a tone sounds if your vehicle exceeds the set speed.

Audio System Volume Limit

The audio system’s maximum volume reduces. A message appears on the touchscreen if you attempt to exceed the volume limit. The automatic volume control turns off.

Emergency Assistance

If you set emergency assistance to always-on, you cannot switch it off with a MyKey.

Do Not Disturb

If you set do not disturb to always-on, you cannot switch it off with a MyKey.

Note:   If a phone is connected using Apple CarPlay or Android Auto while driving with a MyKey, the driver can receive phone calls and text messages even if the do not disturb restriction is on. And if the vehicle comes with satellite radio, there is no restriction on the adult content.

CREATING A MYKEY

Note:   You can use these instructions to create a MyKey for either a passive key or a mobile device.
