WARNING:When possible, all children 12 years old and under
should be properly restrained in a rear seating position. Failure
to follow this could seriously increase the risk of injury or death.
WARNING: Safety belts and seats can become hot in a vehicle
that has been closed up in sunny weather; they could burn a
small child. Check seat covers and buckles before you place a child
anywhere near them.
WARNING: Front and rear seat occupants, including pregnant
women, should wear safety belts for optimum protection in an
accident.
All seating positions in this vehicle have lap and shoulder safety belts. All
occupants of the vehicle should always properly wear their safety belts,
even when an airbag supplemental restraint system is provided.
The safety belt system consists of:
• Lap and shoulder safety belts.
• Shoulder safety belt with automatic locking mode, (except driver
safety belt).
• Height adjuster at the front outboard seating positions.
• Safety belt pretensioner at the front outboard seating positions.
•Safety belt warning light and chime. See Safety Belt
Warning Light and Indicator Chime later in this chapter.
• Crash sensors and monitoring system with readiness
indicator. See Crash Sensors and Airbag Indicator in the
Supplemental Restraints System chapter.
The safety belt pretensioners are designed to activate in frontal,
near-frontal and side crashes, and in rollovers. The safety belt
pretensioners at the front seating positions are designed to tighten the
safety belts firmly against the occupant’s body when activated. This helps
increase the effectiveness of the safety belts. In frontal crashes, the
safety belt pretensioners can be activated alone or, if the crash is of
sufficient severity, together with the front airbags.

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 (push-button start), when both
a MyKey and an admin transmitter are present, the admin transmitter
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. 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:
traction control, parking aid, blind spot information system (BLIS)
with cross traffic alert, lane departure warning 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.
• 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.

Automatic Disarming
Your vehicle disarms when you switch the ignition on with a coded key.
Spare Intelligent Access Keys
Your intelligent access key functions as a programmed key that operates
the driver door lock and activates intelligent access with the push button

access transmitters are lost or stolen, and you do not have an extra
coded key, you will need to have your vehicle towed to an authorized
dealer. Your dealer will erase the key codes from your vehicle and
program new coded keys. Store an extra programmed key away from the
