Lincoln Nautilus: MyKey™ / Creating a MyKey

Use the information display to create a MyKey:

1. Insert the key you want to program into the ignition. If your vehicle has a push-button start, place the remote control in the backup slot.
2. Switch the ignition on.
3. Access the main menu in the information display and then scroll through the menus to change the settings of your MyKey. From the MyKey menu select the option Create MyKey. See Instrument Cluster Display.
4. When prompted, hold the OK button until you see a message informing you to label this key as a MyKey. The programmed restrictions apply when you switch the vehicle off, open and close the driver door and restart your vehicle with the programmed key or remote control.
5. Switch the ignition off.

You successfully created a MyKey. Make sure you label it so you can distinguish it from the admin keys.

You can also program configurable settings for the keys.

Programming and Changing Configurable Settings

Use the information display to access your configurable MyKey settings.

1. Switch the ignition on using an admin key or remote control you want to program.
2. Access the main menu in the information display and then scroll through the menus to change the settings of the MyKey. See Instrument Cluster Display.
3. Follow the instructions in the display. The programmed restrictions apply when you switch the vehicle off, open and close the driver door and restart your vehicle with the programmed key or remote control.

Note: You can clear or change your MyKey settings at any time during the same key cycle as you created the MyKey. Once you have switched the vehicle off, however, you need an admin key to change or clear your MyKey settings. When you make any changes to your MyKey settings, you change the settings for every MyKey. You cannot make individual changes to apply to certain MyKeys.
