MyKey is a feature in Ford cars that allows parents or guardians to set certain restrictions for their teen drivers. These restrictions include limiting the vehicle’s speed, setting the maximum volume for the sound system, and preventing the driver from turning off certain safety features. If you have a Ford car with MyKey activated, you might be wondering how to shut it off. In this article, we’ll guide you through the steps on how to do it.
Step 1: Turn on the Car
The first step in turning off MyKey is to start the car. Insert the key into the ignition and turn it to the “On” position. If you have a push-button start, press the brake pedal and hit the “Engine Start” button.
Step 2: Access the MyKey Settings
Once the car is on, locate the “Settings” button on the dashboard. This button is usually located on the right-hand side of the steering wheel. Press and hold the “Settings” button until the menu appears on the dashboard screen.
Using the arrows on the steering wheel, navigate to the “MyKey” option on the menu. Once you find it, press the “OK” button to select it.
Step 4: Turn Off MyKey
On the MyKey menu, you’ll see an option to “Clear MyKey.” Press the “OK” button to select it. A message will appear on the dashboard screen, asking if you’re sure you want to clear the MyKey settings. Confirm that you want to clear the settings by pressing “OK” again.
After you’ve completed these steps, MyKey should be turned off. If you want to check whether it’s been turned off successfully, turn off the car and start it again. If the message “MyKey Active” no longer appears on the dashboard screen, then you’ve successfully turned off MyKey.
