Some Satellite radio channels have
restricted access to adult radio content.

when using a MyKey, and with your vehicle
moving. Note:

accordance with local laws and
prevailing conditions. Failure to do so
could result in accident or injury.
You can set a speed limit for your vehicle.
Warning messages appear in the
information display and a tone sounds if
your vehicle reaches the set speed. You
cannot override the set speed when using
a MyKey.
Speed Minder

vehicle. Warning messages appear in the
information display and a tone sounds if
