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

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 keyless
start, place your transmitter into the
backup position. Details on the backup
position's location are in another
chapter. See Starting a Gasoline
Engine (page 167).
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
keyless start, place your admin
transmitter into the backup position.
Details on the backup position's
location are in another chapter. See
Starting a Gasoline Engine
(page
167).
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.
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.

Activating Intelligent Access (If
Equipped)
The intelligent access key must be within
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.

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
Electronic

rear cargo area.
If you leave your key in the ignition, when
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.
Smart Unlocks for Intelligent
Access Keys

When you lock your vehicle using the
power door lock control (with the door
open, vehicle in park and ignition off), your
vehicle will search for an intelligent access
key in the passenger compartment after
you close the door. If your vehicle finds a
key, all of the doors will immediately
unlock.
In order to override the smart unlock
feature and intentionally lock the
intelligent access key inside your vehicle,
you can lock your vehicle after all doors
are closed by using the keyless entry
keypad, pressing the lock button on
another intelligent access key or touching
the locking area on the handle with another
intelligent access key in your hand.
When you open one of the front doors and
lock your vehicle using the power door lock
control, all doors will lock then unlock if
the ignition is on.
Autolock and Autounlock (If Equipped)
The autolock feature locks all the doors
when your doors are closed, the ignition is
on, and your vehicle reaches a speed
greater than
12 mph (20 km/h).
When your doors autolock while driving,
stopping the vehicle then switching the
ignition off or to accessory and opening
the driver door unlocks all your doors. This
autounlock feature remains active for 10
minutes after stopping.
Note: The doors do not autounlock if you
have electronically locked them before
opening the driver door.

independently of each other using the
information display. An authorized dealer
can also help you enable or disable these
features. See General Information (page
