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)
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.

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.
(Not available in vehicles equipped with AM/FM only audio systems.)

• Early low fuel. The low-fuel warning activates earlier, giving MyKey

drivers more time to refuel.

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

Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) with Cross Traffic Alert and the
Collision Warning System.
