WHAT IS MYKEY
MyKey allows you to program keys with
restricted driving modes to promote good
driving habits.
MYKEY SETTINGS
NON-CONFIGURABLE MYKEY
SETTINGS
Seatbelt Reminder or Belt-
Minder™
MyKey mutes the audio system until the
front seat passengers buckle the front seat
belts.
Note:If your vehicle includes an AM/FM
radio or a very basic audio system, then the
radio may not mute.
Satellite Radio (If Equipped)
Some Satellite radio channels have
restricted access to adult radio content.
Early Low Fuel
The low fuel level warning lamp turns on
earlier.
Driving and Parking Aids
You cannot configure settings for parking
aids, blind spot information system, and
cross traffic alert. These systems turn on
when the vehicle turns on, and you cannot
switch them off with a MyKey.
You cannot configure settings for
pre-collision assist and lane keeping. These
systems turn on when the vehicle turns on,
but you can switch them off with a MyKey.
A new destination in the navigation system
can only be set using voice commands
when using a MyKey, and with your vehicle
moving. Note:
MyKey drivers may be able to switch
the lane departure warning feature off, but
this feature turns back on automatically
with every new key cycle.
CONFIGURABLE MYKEY
SETTINGS
You can configure the following settings
after creating a MyKey. See Creating a
MyKey (page 65).
Speed Limit
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.
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
You can set a speed reminder for your
vehicle. Warning messages appear in the
information display and a tone sounds if
your vehicle exceeds the set speed.
Audio System Volume Limit
The audio system maximum volume
reduces. A message appears in the
information display if you attempt to
exceed the volume limit. Automatic
volume control turns off.

The heater uses 0.4 to 1.0 kilowatt-hours
of energy per hour of use. The system does
not have a thermostat. It achieves
maximum temperature after
approximately three hours of operation.
Using the engine block heater longer than
three hours does not improve system
performance and unnecessarily uses
electricity.

MANUAL PARK RELEASE -
GASOLINE
WHAT IS MANUAL PARK RELEASE

transmission from the park (P) position in
the event of an electrical malfunction or
emergency.
MANUAL PARK RELEASE

Automatic Transmission

WHAT IS HILL START ASSIST
Hill Start Assist makes it easier for you to
pull away when your vehicle is on a slope
without using the parking brake.
HOW DOES HILL START
ASSIST WORK
When the system activates, your vehicle
remains stationary for a few seconds after
you release the brake pedal. This gives you
time to move your foot from the brake
pedal to the accelerator pedal. The brakes
release when the engine has developed
sufficient torque to prevent your vehicle
from rolling down the slope.
HILL START ASSIST
PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: The system does not
replace the parking brake. When you
leave your vehicle, always apply the
parking brake.
WARNING: You must remain in
your vehicle when the system turns on.
At all times, you are responsible for
controlling your vehicle, supervising the
system and intervening, if required.
Failure to take care may result in the loss
of control of your vehicle, serious
personal injury or death.
WARNING: The system will turn
off if a malfunction is apparent. Failure
to take care may result in the loss of
control of your vehicle, serious personal
injury or death.

SWITCHING AUTO HOLD ON
AND OFF
WARNING: The system does not
replace the parking brake. When you
leave your vehicle, always apply the
parking brake.
WARNING: You must remain in
your vehicle when the system turns on.
At all times, you are responsible for
controlling your vehicle, supervising the

PARKING AID PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: To help avoid personal
injury, always use caution when in
reverse (R) and when using the sensing
system.
WARNING: The system may not
detect objects with surfaces that absorb
reflection. Always drive with due care
and attention. Failure to take care may
result in a crash.
WARNING: Traffic control systems,
fluorescent lamps, inclement weather,
air brakes, external motors and fans may
affect the correct operation of the
sensing system. This may cause reduced
performance or false alerts.
WARNING: The system may not
detect small or moving objects,
particularly those close to the ground.
WARNING: The parking aid system
can only assist you to detect objects
when your vehicle is moving at parking
speeds. To help avoid personal injury you
must take care when using the parking
aid system.
WARNING: The system may not
function if the sensor is blocked.
WARNING: In cold and severe
weather conditions the system may not
function. Rain, snow and spray can all
limit sensor performance.
WARNING: If damage occurs in the
immediate area surrounding the sensor,
have your vehicle checked as soon as
possible. Note:
If your vehicle sustains damage
leaving the sensors misaligned, this will
cause inaccurate measurements or false
alerts.
When you connect a trailer to your vehicle,
the rear parking aid detects the trailer and
provides an alert. Disable the parking aid
when you connect a trailer to prevent the
alert.
Note: Certain add-on devices installed
around the bumper or fascia may create
false alerts, for example, large trailer
hitches, bike or surfboard racks, license plate
brackets, bumper covers or any other device
that could block the normal detection zone
of the parking aid system. Aftermarket spare
tires or spare tire covers mounted to the rear
tailgate could cause false alerts from the
park aid system. Remove the add-on device
to prevent false alerts.
Note: Keep the sensors free from snow, ice
and large accumulations of dirt. If the
sensors are covered, the system's accuracy
can be affected.
Do not clean the sensors with sharp
objects.
Note: When using a programmed MyKey,
you cannot switch the parking aids off. See
MyKey™ (page 64).
REAR PARKING AID (IF EQUIPPED)
WHAT IS THE REAR PARKING AID
Rear parking sensors detect objects behind
your vehicle when in reverse (R).
REAR PARKING AID LIMITATIONS
There is a decreased coverage area at the
outer corners.
When using a programmed MyKey, you
cannot switch the rear parking aid off.
