CREATING A MYKEY
Use the information display to create a
MyKey.
To create a MyKey:
1. Place your key into the ignition or, if
your vehicle is equipped with Intelligent
Access keyless start, place your
transmitter into the backup slot. Details
on the slot's location are in another
chapter. See Starting a Gasoline
Engine (page 161).
2. Switch the ignition on.
3. Access the main menu using your left-hand-side steering wheel controls.
4. Depending on your display options, select either
Settings or Advanced
Settings, then MyKey and finally
Create MyKey.
5. When the menu reads
Hold OK to
Create MyKey, press and hold the OK
button to program a MyKey.
6. The display then prompts you to program the Configurable settings.
You can program the configurable features
now or at any time. You can advance
through the settings without programming
them by pressing the
OK button. MyKey
then keeps all of the default settings.
When you finish programming your MyKey,
the Type 3 information display adds a
confirmation screen, New MyKey Has
Been Created
. Programming/Changing
Configurable Settings
Use the information display to program or
change your configurable MyKey settings.
1. Place your admin key into the ignition
or, if your vehicle is equipped with
Intelligent Access keyless start, place
your admin transmitter into the backup
slot. Details on the slot's location are
in another chapter. See
Starting a
Gasoline Engine (page 161).
2. Depending on your display options, select either
Settings or Advanced
Settings, then MyKey and finally to
various configurable features.
3. Scroll down through the choices, and then highlight the feature you want to
configure.
4. When you finish programming your MyKey, the Type 3 information display
adds a confirmation screen, New
MyKey Has Been Created
.
Note: You can clear or change your MyKey
settings at any time during the same key
cycle as you created the MyKey. Once you
have switched the engine off, however, you
will need an admin key to change or clear
your MyKey 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.
Note: When you clear your MyKeys, you
remove all restrictions and return all MyKeys
to their original admin key status at once.

Activating Intelligent Access (If
Equipped)
The intelligent access key must be within
3.3 ft (1 m)
of your vehicle.
At the Front Doors
Pull a front exterior door handle to unlock
and open the door. The unlock sensor is on
the back of the handle. Make sure not to
touch the lock sensor area on the front of
the handle. Press and hold the lock sensor area for
about a second to lock your vehicle. To
avoid unlocking the door inadvertently,
make sure you only touch the lock sensor
and not other areas of the door handle.
After locking the doors with the lock
sensor, there is a brief delay before you can
unlock your vehicle. This delay lets you pull
the handle to make sure it locked.
Note:
Keep the door handle surface clean
to avoid issues with operation. At the Electronic Tailgate Press the exterior tailgate release button
inside of the tailgate handle. The tailgate
will unlock and open. See
Tailgate (page

you open the driver door and lock your
vehicle with the power door lock control,
the doors lock then unlock.
You can still lock your vehicle with the key
in the ignition by:
• Using the manual lock on the inside of
the door.
• Locking the driver door with a key.
• Using the keyless entry keypad.
• Using the lock button on the remote
control.
