The vehicle information display has added
features, allowing the Key-Linked System to

and initiate communication from the desired key.
1. Turn the engine to OFF.
2. Press the button from the desired I-Key.

From the shortcut setup menu, you can select to enable or disable the Key-Linked
System or select Later to keep the factory state.
When enabled, the Key-Linked System will remember the state of the items
memorized automatically from the last ignition cycle.
