•program configurable MyKey settings
•clear all MyKey features.
When you have programmed a MyKey, youcan access the following information usingthe information display:
•How many admin keys and MyKeys areprogrammed to your vehicle.

PARKING AID (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNINGS
To help avoid personal injury, pleaseread and understand the limitationsof the system as contained in thissection. Sensing is only an aid for some(generally large and fixed) objects whenmoving in reverse on a flat surface atparking speeds. Traffic control systems,inclement weather, air brakes, and externalmotors and fans may also affect thefunction of the sensing system; this mayinclude reduced performance or a falseactivation.
To help avoid personal injury, alwaysuse caution when in R (Reverse) andwhen using the sensing system.
This system is not designed toprevent contact with small or movingobjects. The system is designed toprovide a warning to assist the driver indetecting large stationary objects to avoiddamaging the vehicle. The system may notdetect smaller objects, particularly thoseclose to the ground.
Certain add-on devices such as largetrailer hitches, bike or surfboard racksand any device that may block thenormal detection zone of the system, maycreate false beeps.
Note:Keep the sensors, located on thebumper or fascia, free from snow, ice andlarge accumulations of dirt. If the sensorsare covered, the system’s accuracy can beaffected. Do not clean the sensors withsharp objects.
Note:If your vehicle sustains damage tothe bumper or fascia, leaving it misalignedor bent, the sensing zone may be alteredcausing inaccurate measurement ofobstacles or false alarms.
Note:If your vehicle is equipped withMyKey®, it is possible to prevent turning thesensing system off. See MyKey™ (page50).
The sensing system warns the driver ofobstacles within a certain range of thebumper area. The system turns onautomatically whenever the ignition isswitched on.
When receiving a detection warning, theradio volume is reduced to apredetermined level. After the warninggoes away, the radio volume returns to theprevious level.
The system can be switched off throughthe information display menu or from thepop-up message that appears once thetransmission is shifted into R. See GeneralInformation (page 87).
If a fault is present in the system, a warningmessage appears in the informationdisplay and does not allow the driver toswitch the faulted system on. SeeInformation Messages (page 95).
Rear Sensing System
The rear sensors are only active when thetransmission is in R. As the vehicle movescloser to the obstacle, the rate of theaudible warning increases. When theobstacle is fewer than 10 inches (25centimeters) away, the warning soundscontinuously. If a stationary or recedingobject is detected farther than 10 inches(25 centimeters) from the side of thevehicle, the tone sounds for only threeseconds. Once the system detects anobject approaching, the warning soundsagain.
