Remote Starting the Vehicle
Note:You must press each button within three seconds of each other.

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 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

The parking lamps will remain on and your 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 your vehicle still running to extend the run
time for another remote start duration. If the duration is set to last
10 minutes, the duration will extend by another 10 minutes beginning
after what is left of the first activation time. For example, if your vehicle
had been running from the first remote start for five minutes, your
vehicle will continue to run now for a total of 15 minutes.

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 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.
•Early low fuel warning. 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.
•Satellite radio adult content restrictions.
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
engine. 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, 911 Assist or the do not disturb feature (if your
vehicle is equipped with these features).

hold the intelligent access key next to the steering column. The correct
position to place your fob is in another chapter. SeeStarting and
Stopping the Engine.

Programming/Changing Configurable Settings.
Programming/Changing Configurable Settings

CLEARING ALL MYKEYS
You can clear all MyKeys within the same key cycle as you created the
MyKey. If you switch your ignition off, however, you will need to use an
admin key to clear your MyKeys.

return all MyKeys to their original admin key status at once.

do the following:

CHECKING MYKEY SYSTEM STATUS
You can find information about your programmed MyKeys by using the
information display.
MYKEY DISTANCE
Tracks the distance when drivers use a MyKey. The only way to delete
the accumulated distance is by using an admin key to clear your MyKey.
If the distance does not accumulate as expected, then the intended user
is not using the MyKey, or an admin key user recently cleared and then
recreated a MyKey.
NUMBER OF MYKEY(S)
Indicates the number of MyKeys programmed to your vehicle. Use this
feature to detect how many MyKeys you have for your vehicle and
determine when a MyKey has been deleted.
NUMBER OF ADMIN KEY(S)
Indicates how many admin keys are programmed to your vehicle. Use
this feature to determine how many unrestricted keys you have for your
vehicle, and detect if an additional MyKey has been programmed.
