Ford Explorer: Principle of Operation / Standard Settings
Not every vehicle includes the features listed below. If your vehicle has this
equipment, then you cannot change the following settings when using a MyKey:
- Seatbelt reminder or Belt-Minder™. MyKey mutes the audio system until drivers,
and in some instances, passengers, fasten their seatbelts. Note: If your
vehicle includes an AM/FM radio or a very basic audio system, then the radio
may not mute.
- Earlier low-fuel warning. The low-fuel warning activates earlier for MyKey
drivers, giving them more time to refuel.
- Certain driver alerts, stability systems or parking aids turn on automatically
when you use the MyKey system. For example, Blind Spot Information System (BLIS),
cross traffic alert, lane departure warning or forward collision warning.
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.
- Restricted touchscreen operation in some markets. For example, MyKey may
prevent manual navigation destination input while the vehicle is in any gear
other than park (P) or when the vehicle reaches a certain rate of speed.
- Satellite radio adult content restrictions, if this feature is available
in your market.
MyKey allows you to program keys with restricted driving modes to promote good

You can configure certain vehicle feature settings when you first create a MyKey.
