When you have created a MyKey, you canaccess the following information using theinformation display:
•How many admin keys and MyKeys areprogrammed to your vehicle.
•The total distance your vehicle hastraveled using a MyKey.
Note: All MyKeys are programmed to thesame settings. You cannot program themindividually.
Note:For vehicles with keyless start, whenboth a MyKey and an admin key are present,the admin fob will be recognized by thevehicle to start the engine.
