PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

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

Any keys that remain unprogrammed are
referred to as administrator keys or admin
keys. They can be used to:

•

Create a MyKey.

•

Program configurable MyKey settings.

•

Clear all MyKey features.

When you have created a MyKey, you can
access the following information by using
the information display to determine:

•

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

•

The total distance your vehicle traveled
with a MyKey.

Note: Switch the ignition on to use the
system.

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

Note: For vehicles equipped with a
push-button start, when both a MyKey and
an admin key are present, the admin key will
be recognized by the vehicle when you start
the vehicle.

Non-configurable Settings

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

•

Safety belt reminder. You cannot
disable this feature. The audio system
will mute when the front seat
passengers’ safety belts are not
fastened.

•

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

•

Driver assist features, if equipped on
your vehicle, are forced on: parking aid
and Blind Spot Information System
(BLIS) with cross traffic alert.

•

Satellite radio adult content
restrictions, if equipped on your vehicle.

•

Pre-collision assist and Lane Departure
warning switches on every ignition
cycle, but can be switched off by the
MyKey user.

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 engine. You can also
change the settings afterward with an
admin key.

•

A vehicle speed limit 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 or by
setting cruise control.

WARNING

Do not set MyKey maximum speed
limit to a limit that will prevent the
driver from maintaining a safe speed

considering posted speed limits and
prevailing road conditions. The driver is
always responsible to drive in accordance
with local laws and prevailing conditions.
Failure to do so could result in accident or
injury.

•

Various vehicle speed minders can be
set. Once you select a speed, it will be
shown in the display, followed by an
audible tone when the preselected
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 or compensated
automatic volume control will be
disabled.

•

Always on setting. When this is
selected, you will not be able to turn

off AdvanceTrac or traction control,
E911 or Emergency Assist, or the Do Not
Disturb feature (if your vehicle is
equipped with these features).
