How to use it

Step by step.

  1. 01

    For classic mode, keep the remote control in the vehicle, open Settings and press Valet Mode.

  2. 02

    Enter a chosen four-digit code and enter it again to lock the touchscreen.

  3. 03

    For enhanced mode without the remote, first ensure Phone as a Key and its backup start passcode are complete, then open Valet Mode and obtain the generated code.

  4. 04

    Give the valet only the first five digits for the door keypad and all eight digits for touchscreen start; afterward press Exit Valet Mode and authenticate to disable it.

Important limits

  • If a remote control is detected, the system defaults to classic mode.
  • Treat all valet codes as temporary credentials and share them only with the intended driver.
  • Enhanced mode uses different code lengths for entry and for starting.
If it does not work

Quick checks.

  • ✓If enhanced mode requests the backup start passcode, enter it to generate the valet code.
  • ✓If Exit Valet Mode does not authenticate by phone, use the backup start passcode.
  • ✓If a classic code is forgotten, follow Ford's authorized recovery or service process rather than guessing repeatedly.
