The horn will sound if the system fails to start, unless quiet start is on.
Quiet start will run the blower fan at a slower speed to reduce noise. You
can switch it on or off in the information display. See theInformation
Displayschapter.
Note:If you remote start your vehicle, you must have a programmed
intelligent access key inside your vehicle and press theSTART/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. See theInformation Displays
chapter to select the duration of the remote start system.
Extending the Vehicle Run Time
Repeat Steps 1 and 2 with the vehicle still running to extend the run
time for another remote start duration. If the duration is set to last
10 minutes, the system will add another 10 minutes. For example, if the
vehicle had been running from the first remote start for five minutes,
the vehicle will continue to run now for a total of 20 minutes. You can
extend the remote start up to a maximum of 30 minutes.
Wait at least five seconds before remote starting after a vehicle
shutdown.
Turning the Vehicle Off After Remote Starting
Press the button once. The parking lamps will turn off.
You may have to be closer to your vehicle than when starting due to
ground reflection and the added noise of the running vehicle.
You can disable or enable the remote start system through the
information display. Refer to theInformation Displaychapter.
REPLACING A LOST KEY OR REMOTE CONTROL
You can purchase replacement or additional keys or remote controls from
an authorized dealer. A dealer can program the transmitters to your
vehicle or you may be able to program them yourself. See theSecurity
chapter for information on programming your transmitters.

PRINCIPLES 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 intelligent access key (push-button start), when
both a MyKey and an admin intelligent access key (fob) are present, the
admin fob will be recognized to start the vehicle.
Non-configurable Settings
The following settings cannot be changed:
•Belt-Minder. You cannot disable this feature. The audio system will
mute when the front seat occupants’ safety belts are not fastened.
•Early distance to stop. Warnings are displayed in the information
display control followed by an audible tone at 15 miles to stop.
•Driver assist features, if equipped on your vehicle, are forced on:
parking aid, blind spot information system (BLIS) with cross traffic
alert and the 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.
•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:
1. Hold the key next to the symbol on the right side of the steering
column (or next to the back-up location on the right side of the steering
column).
SeeStarting and Stopping the
Vehiclechapter for more backup
slot information.
2. Switch the ignition on.
3. Access the main menu on the

4. PressOKto selectCreate
MyKey.
5. When prompted, hold theOKbutton until you see a message
informing you to label this key as a MyKey. The key will be restricted at
the next start.
MyKey is successfully created. Make sure you label it so you can
distinguish it from the admin keys.
You can also program configurable settings for the key(s).

WARNING LAMPS AND INDICATORS
These indicators can alert you to a vehicle condition that may become
serious enough to cause expensive repairs. Many lights will illuminate
when you start your vehicle to make sure they work. If any light remains
on after starting the vehicle, refer to the respective system warning light
for additional information.
Note:Some warning indicators are reconfigurable telltales (RTT). These
indicators appear in the information display and function the same as a
warning light, but do not display on startup.
Airbag readiness
If this light fails to illuminate when the ignition is turned on,
continues to flash or remains on, contact your authorized dealer
as soon as possible. A chime will sound when there is a
malfunction in the indicator light.
Anti-lock brake system
If the ABS light stays illuminated or continues to flash, a
malfunction has been detected. Contact your authorized dealer
as soon as possible. Normal braking is still functional unless the
brake warning light also is illuminated.
Brake system warning light
To confirm the brake system warning light is functional, it will
momentarily illuminate when the vehicle is switched on, to
accessory or Ready to Drive mode.
If it illuminates when you are driving, check that the parking brake is not
engaged. If the parking brake is not engaged, this indicates low brake
fluid level or a brake system malfunction. Have the system checked
immediately by your authorized dealer.
WARNING:Driving a vehicle with the brake system warning
light on is dangerous. A significant decrease in braking
performance may occur. It will take you longer to stop the vehicle.
Have the vehicle checked by your authorized dealer as soon as possible.
Driving extended distances with the parking brake engaged can cause
brake failure and the risk of personal injury.
