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 an administrator key or admin
key which can be used to:

• create a restricted key

• program optional MyKey settings

• clear all MyKey features altogether.
Once a key has been programmed, you can access the following
information using the information display control:

• How many admin keys and MyKeys are programmed to the vehicle.

• The total distance the vehicle has been driven with a MyKey.
For vehicles equipped with intelligent access (push button 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.

Standard Settings

These settings activate automatically with a programmed MyKey.
• Belt-Minder. The audible safety belt warning tones continue and do

not time out after approximately five minutes. The audio system also
mutes until drivers and front passengers fasten their safety belts.

• Early low fuel.

• Drivers receive an audible warning when the fuel gauge reads

approximately 3/32nd tank, or the estimated travel distance is
62 miles (100 kilometers) until the tank is empty, whichever comes
first.

• The fuel indicator lamp illuminates in yellow and the information

display shows a low fuel message.

• When the fuel tank gauge reads E, another set of warnings occur: the

information display shows a red warning light and Low Fuel in red.

• Driver assist features, if equipped, remain on and active: parking aid,

BLIS (Blind Spot Information System) with cross traffic alert and the
collision warning system.

Optional Settings

You can configure these settings while programming a MyKey or change
them while using an admin key.
• 80 mph (130 km/h) vehicle speed limit. Drivers receive visual

warnings and an audible tone when they reach 80 mph (130 km/h).
