PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
MyKeyallows 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 key settings
•clear the key feature 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.
When both a MyKey and an Admin Intelligent Access keys (fob) are
present, the admin fob will be recognized by the vehicle to start the
engine.
Standard Settings
These settings cannot be changed.
•Belt-Minder. This cannot be disabled and the five– minute timer does
not expire. The audio system is muted when MyKey Belt-Minder is
activated.
•Early low fuel. Warnings are displayed in the information display
control followed by an audible tone when the fuel tank is at 1/8 tank
or less.
•Driver assist features, if equipped on your vehicle, are forced on: Rear
parking aid, Blind spot information system (BLIS) with cross traffic
alert, Lane departure warning, Satellite radio adult content restriction,
and Forward collision warning system.
Optional Settings
These settings can be configured right after a MyKey is first created or
changed afterword with an admin key.
•Vehicle speed limit of 65, 70, 75 and 80 mph (105, 113, 121 and
130 km/h). Visual warnings are displayed followed by an audible tone
when vehicle speed has reached the selected top speed.

Auto-Dimming Feature
The driver’s sideview mirror will automatically dim when the interior
auto-dimming mirror is activated.
Integrated Blind Spot Mirrors (If Equipped)
WARNING:Objects in the blind spot mirror are closer than they
appear.
Blind spot mirrors have an integrated convex mirror built into the upper
outboard corner of the exterior mirrors. They are designed to assist you
by increasing visibility along the side of your vehicle.
Check the main mirror first before a lane change, then check the blind
spot mirror. If no vehicles are present in the blind spot mirror and the
traffic in the adjacent lane is at a safe distance, signal that you are going
to change lanes. Glance over your shoulder to verify traffic is clear, and
carefully change lanes.
The approaching vehicle’s image is
small and near the inboard edge of
the main mirror when it is at a
distance. The image becomes larger
and begins to move outboard across
the main mirror as the vehicle
approaches (A). Its image will
transition from the main mirror and
begin to appear in the blind spot
mirror as the vehicle approaches (B).
The vehicle will transition to your
peripheral field of view as it leaves
the blind spot mirror (C).
