MyKey allows you to program keys withrestricted driving modes to promote gooddriving habits. All but one of the keys can beactivated with these restricted modes.
Any keys that remain unprogrammed arereferred to as administrator keys or adminkeys. They can be used to:
•Create a MyKey.
•Program configurable MyKey settings.
•Clear all MyKey features.
When you have created a MyKey, you canaccess the following information by usingthe information display to determine:
•How many admin keys and MyKeys areprogrammed to your vehicle.
•The total distance your vehicle traveledwith a MyKey.

The following settings cannot be changedby an admin key user:
•Safety belt reminder. You cannot disablethis feature. The audio system will mutewhen the driver and front seatpassengers’ safety belts are not fastened.
