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. These 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. Note:
For vehicles with push-button start,
when both a MyKey and an admin remote
transmitter are present, the admin remote
transmitter will be recognized by the vehicle
while switching the ignition on to start the
vehicle.
Non-configurable Settings
The following settings cannot be changed by
an admin key user:
• Seat belt reminder or Belt Minder. You
cannot disable this feature. The audio
system will mute when the front seat
passengers' safety belts are not fastened.
• Early low fuel. The low-fuel warning
activates 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 or
active city-stop. 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. 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. 50

INTERIOR LUGGAGE
COMPARTMENT RELEASE WARNINGS
Keep vehicle doors and luggage
compartment locked and keep keys
and remote transmitters out of a child
’s
reach. Unsupervised children could lock
themselves in the trunk and risk injury.
Children should be taught not to play in
vehicles. WARNINGS
Do not leave children or animals
unattended in the vehicle. On hot days,
the temperature in the luggage
compartment or vehicle interior can rise very
quickly. Exposure of people or animals to
these high temperatures for even a short time
can cause death or serious heat-related
injuries, including brain damage. Small
children are particularly at risk. Your vehicle is equipped with a release
handle that provides a means of escape for
children and adults if they become locked
inside the luggage compartment.
Adults should familiarize themselves with
the operation and location of the release
handle.
The handle is located inside the luggage
compartment either on the luggage
compartment door (lid) or near the tail
lamps. It is composed of a material that will
glow for hours in darkness following brief
exposure to ambient light.
