PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

MyKey allows you to program keys with
restricted driving modes to promote good
driving habits. All but one of the keys
programmed to the vehicle can be
activated with these restricted modes.

Any keys that have not been programmed
are referred to as administrator keys or
admin keys. These can be used to:

Create a MyKey

Program configurable MyKey settings

Clear all MyKey features

When you have programmed a MyKey, you
can access the following information using
the information display:

How many admin keys and MyKeys are
programmed to your vehicle.

The total distance your vehicle has
traveled using any MyKey.

Note: All MyKeys are programmed to the
same settings. You cannot program them
individually.

If a MyKey and an admin key are present,
your vehicle will recognize the admin key
only.

Note: For vehicles with intelligent access
key (push button start) keyless start, when
both a MyKey and an admin intelligent
access key (fob) are present, the admin fob
will be recognized by the vehicle to start the
engine.

Non-configurable Settings

The following settings cannot be changed
by an admin key user:

Belt-minder. You cannot disable this
feature. The audio system will mute
when the front seat occupants' safety
belts are not fastened.

Early low fuel. The low-fuel warning
activates earlier, giving the MyKey user
more time to refuel.

Driver assist features, if equipped on
your vehicle, are forced on: parking aid,
blind spot information system (BLIS)
with cross traffic alert, lane departure
warning and forward collision warning
system.

Satellite radio adult content
restrictions.

Configurable Settings

With an admin key, you can configure
certain MyKey settings when you first
create a MyKey and before you recycle the
key or restart the vehicle. You can also
change the settings afterward with an
admin key:

Vehicle speed limits can be set.
Warnings will be shown in the display
followed by an audible tone when your
vehicle reaches the set speed. You
cannot override the set speed by fully
depressing the accelerator pedal.

Vehicle speed minders of 45, 55 or 65
mph (75, 90 or 105 km/h). Once you
select a speed it will be shown in the
display followed by an audible tone
when the set vehicle speed is
exceeded.

Audio system maximum volume of
45%. A message will be shown in the
display when you attempt to exceed
the limited volume. Also, the speed
sensitive compensated volume
(automatic volume control) feature
will be disabled.

Always on setting. When this is
selected you will not be able to disable
AdvanceTrac, 911 Assist or the do not
disturb feature (if your vehicle is
equipped with these features).
