PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
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.
Note:Switch the vehicle on to use thesystem.
Note:All MyKeys are programmed to thesame settings. You cannot program themindividually.
Note:For vehicles equipped withpush-button start, when both a MyKey andan admin remote transmitter are present,the admin remote transmitter will berecognized by the vehicle while switchingthe vehicle on to start the vehicle.
Non-configurable Settings
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.
•Early low fuel or charge. The low-fuel orlow charge warning activates earlier,giving the MyKey user more time to refuelor recharge.
•Driver assist features, if equipped on yourvehicle, are forced on: parking aid, BlindSpot Information System (BLIS) with crosstraffic alert and forward collision warning.
•Satellite radio adult content restrictions,if equipped on your vehicle.
Configurable Settings
With an admin key, you can configure certainMyKey settings when you first create aMyKey and before you recycle the key orrestart the vehicle. You can also change thesettings afterward with an admin key.
•A vehicle speed limit can be set.Warnings will be shown in the displayfollowed by an audible tone when yourvehicle reaches the set speed. Youcannot override the set speed by fullydepressing the accelerator pedal or bysetting cruise control.
WARNING
Do not set MyKey maximum speed limitto a limit that will prevent the driverfrom maintaining a safe speed consideringposted speed limits and prevailing roadconditions. The driver is always responsibleto drive in accordance with local laws andprevailing conditions. Failure to do so couldresult in accident or injury.
