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

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

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 warning. The low fuel warning is activated 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.
