Ford Explorer: MyKey™ / Principle of Operation

Ford Explorer 2020-2026 Owners Manual / MyKey™ / Principle of Operation

MyKey allows you to program keys with restricted driving modes to promote good driving habits. You can program the restrictions to all keys except one. Any keys that you did not program are administrator keys or admin keys.

You can use admin keys to:

  • Create a MyKey with certain vehicle restrictions.
  • Program certain MyKey settings.
  • Clear all MyKey restrictions.

After you program a MyKey, you can view the following information through the information display:

  • The total number of admin keys and MyKeys for your vehicle.
  • The total distance a MyKey driver traveled with your vehicle.

Note: Every MyKey receives the same restrictions and settings. You cannot program them individually.

Note: For vehicles equipped with a push-button start switch: When both a MyKey and an admin key are present when you start your vehicle, the system recognizes the admin key only.
