GENERAL INFORMATION ON
RADIO FREQUENCIES
This device complies with Part 15 of the
FCC Rules and with Industry Canada
license-exempt RSS standard(s).
Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) This device may not cause
harmful interference, and (2) This device
must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
Note:
Changes or modifications not
expressively approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the
user's authority to operate the equipment.
The term IC before the radio certification
number only signifies that Industry Canada
technical specifications were met.
The typical operating range for your
transmitter is approximately 33 feet (10
meters). Vehicles with the remote start
feature will have a greater range. One of
the following could cause a decrease in
operating range:
• weather conditions
• nearby radio towers
• structures around the vehicle
• other vehicles parked next to your
vehicle
The radio frequency used by your remote
control can also be used by other short
distance radio transmissions, for example
amateur radios, medical equipment,
wireless headphones, remote controls and
alarm systems. If the frequencies are
jammed, you will not be able to use your
remote control. You can lock and unlock
the doors with the key.
Note: Make sure to lock your vehicle before
leaving it unattended.
Note: If you are in range, the remote control
will operate if you press any button
unintentionally. REMOTE CONTROL
Integrated Keyhead Transmitters
(If Equipped)
Use the key blade to start your vehicle and
unlock or lock the driver door from outside
your vehicle. The transmitter portion
functions as the remote control.
Note:
Your vehicle ’s keys came with a
security label that provides important
vehicle key cut information. Keep the label
in a safe place for future reference.
Replacing the Battery
Note: Refer to local regulations when
disposing of transmitter batteries.
Note: Do not wipe off any grease on the
battery terminals or on the back surface of
the circuit board.
Note: Replacing the battery will not delete
the transmitter from the vehicle. The
transmitter should operate normally.
The remote control uses one coin-type
three-volt lithium battery CR2032 or
equivalent.

Sounding a Panic Alarm
Note:
The panic alarm will only operate
when the ignition is off. Press the button to activate the
alarm. Press the button again or
turn the ignition on to deactivate
it.
Remote Start (If Equipped) WARNING
To avoid exhaust fumes, do not use
remote start if your vehicle is parked
indoors or areas that are not well
ventilated. Note:
Do not use remote start if your vehicle
is low on fuel. The remote start button is on the
transmitter.
This feature allows you to start your
vehicle from outside the vehicle. The
transmitter has an extended operating
range.
Vehicles with automatic climate control
can be set to operate when you remote
start the vehicle. See
Climate Control
(page 103). A manual climate control
system will run at the setting it was set to
when you switch the vehicle off.
Many states and provinces have
restrictions for the use of remote start.
Check your local and state or provincial
laws for specific requirements regarding
remote start systems.
The remote start system will not work if:
• the ignition is on
• the alarm system is triggered
• you disable the feature
• the hood is open
• the transmission is not in
P •
the vehicle battery voltage is too low
• the service engine soon indicator is on.
Remote Starting the Vehicle
Note: You must press each button within
three seconds of each other. Your vehicle
will not remote start and the horn will not
sound if you do not follow this sequence. The label on your transmitter details the
starting procedure.
To remote start your vehicle:
1. Press the lock button to lock all the
doors.
2. Press the remote start button twice. The exterior lamps will flash twice.
The horn will sound if the system fails to
start.
Note: If you remote start your vehicle with
an integrated keyhead transmitter, you must
switch the ignition on before driving your
vehicle. If you remote start your vehicle with
an intelligent access transmitter, you must
press the
START/STOP button on the
instrument panel once while applying the
brake pedal before driving your vehicle.
The power windows will not work during
the remote start and the radio will not turn
on automatically.
The parking lamps will remain on and the
vehicle will run for 5, 10, or 15 minutes,
depending on the setting.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
MyKey allows 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 administrator keys or
admin keys. They can be used to:
•
create a MyKey
• program configurable MyKey settings
• clear all MyKey features.
When you have programmed a MyKey, you
can access the following information using
the information display:
• How many admin keys and MyKeys are
programmed to your vehicle.
• The total distance your vehicle has
traveled using a MyKey.
Note: All MyKeys are programmed to the
same settings. You cannot program them
individually.
Non-configurable Settings
The following settings cannot be changed
by an admin key user:
• Belt-Minder. You cannot disable this
feature. The audio system will mute
when the front seat occupants’ safety
belts are not fastened. Note: If your
vehicle is equipped with AM/FM radio
only, then the radio will not mute.
• Early low fuel. The low fuel warning is
activated earlier, giving the MyKey user
more time to refuel.
• Driver assist features, if equipped on
your vehicle, are forced on: parking aid,
blind spot information system (BLIS)
with cross traffic alert, lane departure
warning and forward collision warning
system. 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 vehicle. 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.
• Vehicle speed minders of 45, 55 or 65
mph (75, 90 or 105 km/h). 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. Note:
If your vehicle is
equipped with AM/FM radio only, then
the radio volume will not be limited.
• Always on setting. When this is
selected, you will not be able to turn
off AdvanceTrac (if your vehicle is
equipped with this feature).
CREATING A MYKEY
Use the information display to create a
MyKey. There are two types of information
displays, and their controls and messaging
vary. To determine which type of display
you have, you will need to reference
another chapter. See
General
Information (page 81).

3. Press the lower left corner on the
touchscreen. Select either a tuned FM
station or a CD (if there is a CD already
loaded into the system).
4. Adjust the volume as desired.
5. Turn the portable music player on and adjust the volume to ½ the maximum.
6. Press the lower left corner on the touchscreen. Select the A/V In tab.
(You should hear audio from your
portable music player although it may
be low.)
7. Adjust the sound on your portable music player until it reaches the level
of the FM station or CD by switching
back and forth between the controls.
In order to playback video from your iPod
or iPhone, you must have a special
combination USB/RCA composite video
cable (which you can buy from Apple).
When you connect the cable to your iPod
or iPhone, plug the other end into both the
RCA jacks and the USB port. Troubleshooting
•
Do not connect the audio input jack to
a line level output. The jack only works
correctly with devices that have a
headphone output with a volume
control.
• Do not set the portable music player's
volume level higher than is necessary
to match the volume of the CD or FM
radio as this causes distortion and
reduces sound quality.
• If the music sounds distorted at lower
listening levels, turn the portable music
player volume down. If the problem
persists, replace or recharge the
batteries in the portable media player.
• Control the portable media player in
the same manner when used with
headphones, as the auxiliary input jack
does not provide control (such as Play
or Pause) over the attached portable
media player.
