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 an “administrator key” or
“admin key” which can be used to:
• create a restricted key
• program optional key settings
• clear the key feature altogether.
Once a key has been programmed you can access the following
information using the information display control:
• How many admin keys and MyKeys are programmed to the vehicle.
• The total distance the vehicle has been driven with a MyKey.
When both a MyKey and an Admin Intelligent Access keys (fob) are
present, the admin fob will be recognized by the vehicle to start the
engine.

Standard Settings

These settings cannot be changed.
• Belt-Minder. This cannot be disabled and the five– minute timer does

not expire. The audio system is muted when MyKey Belt-Minder is
activated.
