I once cleared the MyKey feature on my new Ford Focus. First, I had to prepare the admin key—the master key provided when purchasing the car—otherwise, the operation wouldn't proceed. I inserted the key into the ignition slot or made sure it was detectable inside the car, then started the engine. Next, using the multifunction buttons on the left side of the steering wheel, I scrolled through the menu to access the system settings, where I found the MyKey management option. Selecting 'Clear All MyKeys' and confirming did the trick, and the whole process took less than a minute. After clearing, all speed or volume control restrictions disappeared immediately, and the car returned to normal mode, which was particularly convenient—for example, no longer needing to supervise teenage drivers or simplifying the process when selling the car. However, before performing the operation, it's essential to park properly and engage the handbrake to avoid accidents. After successful clearance, it's advisable to test the acceleration function to ensure the restrictions are indeed lifted. If the clearance fails, it might be due to the key not being recognized correctly; try restarting the car or consulting the manual before attempting again.
