MyVans Your Vehicle Solution
If you have a Ford vehicle equipped with the MyKey feature, you might be wondering how to deactivate it. MyKey is a safety feature that allows parents or car owners to set certain restrictions on the car, such as limiting the top speed or audio volume. However, if you no longer need these restrictions, it’s easy to turn off MyKey and regain full access to your vehicle.
Step 1: Insert the MyKey
The first step to deactivating MyKey is to insert the key that is programmed as the MyKey. This key will have a symbol of a car with a key inside it. If you don’t have the MyKey in your possession, you’ll need to contact your Ford dealer or a locksmith to obtain one.
Step 2: Turn on the Ignition
Once you have the MyKey inserted, turn on the ignition and wait for the car to start. Make sure that the car is in park or neutral and that the parking brake is engaged.
Step 3: Access the MyKey Menu
Next, access the MyKey menu on your vehicle’s display screen. Depending on your model, this may be located in the settings menu, the vehicle menu, or the driver assist menu.
Step 4: Select the MyKey You Want to Deactivate
Once you’re in the MyKey menu, select the MyKey that you want to deactivate. If you have multiple MyKeys programmed, make sure you select the correct one.
Step 5: Choose the Deactivate Option
After selecting the MyKey, look for the option to deactivate it. This may be labeled as “Clear MyKey” or “Reset MyKey.” Select this option and confirm that you want to deactivate the MyKey.
Step 6: Turn off the Ignition
Once you’ve confirmed the deactivation, turn off the ignition and remove the MyKey from the car. The MyKey restrictions should now be removed, and you’ll have full access to your vehicle.
It’s important to note that deactivating the MyKey feature will not erase any previous settings or restrictions. If you want to reset the car to its original factory settings, you may need to perform a master reset. Consult your owner’s manual or contact your Ford dealer for more information.
