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. You cannot disable
this feature. The audio system will
mute when the front seat occupants’
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.
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.
• Various vehicle speed minders can be
set. 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 Advance Trac (if your vehicle is
equipped with this feature).

Front and Rear Sensing System
The front and rear parking aid sensors turn
on automatically when you move the
transmission selector lever to R (reverse),
D (drive) or S (sport) and your vehicle is
moving at a speed of less than 7 mph (12
km/h). The front parking aid sensor
coverage area is up to 31 inches
(80 centimeters) from the
center of your vehicle
’s front
bumper and up to 14 inches (35
centimeters) to the side of your
A
vehicle ’s front bumper. The rear
parking aid sensor coverage area
is up to 72 inches (183
centimeters) from the center of
your vehicle ’s rear bumper. There
is a decreased coverage area at
the outer corners. Audible warnings will sound when large
objects are within the sensor coverage
areas of either bumper in the following
manner:
•
You will hear a high-pitched tone from
the front audio system speakers when
large objects are within the sensor
coverage area of your vehicle ’s front
bumper. Moving your vehicle closer to
a large object will increase the audible
warning repeat rate.
• You will hear a lower-pitched tone
from the rear audio system speakers
when large objects are within the
sensor coverage area of your vehicle ’s
rear bumper. Moving your vehicle closer
to a large object will increase the
audible warning repeat rate.
• The parking aid system prioritizes
audible warnings based on large
objects that are the closest to your
vehicle ’s front or rear bumper. For
example, if an object is 24 inches (60
centimeters) from your vehicle ’s front
bumper and at the same time, an
object is only 16 inches (40
centimeters) from your vehicle ’s rear
bumper, you will hear the
lower-pitched tone from the rear audio
system speakers.
• You will hear an alternating audible
warning from the front and rear audio
system speakers if large objects are
less than 12 inches (30 centimeters)
from your vehicle ’s front and rear
bumpers.
• If the object is more than 12 inches (30
centimeters) from the side of your
vehicle ’s bumper area the audible
warning will sound for three seconds.
If the object is less than 12 inches (30
centimeters) from the side of your
vehicle ’s bumper area the audible
warning will sound continuously.
