is possible to program all ’real’ keys as MyKeys威, in which case, you will
need to use your remote start system to reset all MyKeys威 as admin keys
by doing the following:
1. Enter the vehicle, close all doors.
2. Remote start the vehicle using your non Ford-approved remote start
fob.
3. Follow Steps 1-4 in the Clear MyKey威 section.
