Locks and Security The IA key also contains a removable mechanical key blade that can be used to unlock the driver door. To release the mechanical key blade, slide the release on the back of the transmitter and pull the blade out. Your IA keys are programmed to your vehicle. You cannot enter or start your vehicle with an unprogrammed key. If you lose one or both of your IA keys, replacements are available from your authorized dealer. For more information on programming replacement IA keys, refer to the SecuriLock passive anti-theft system section in this chapter. Note: Your vehicle's IA back-up keys were issued with a security tag that provides important vehicle key cut information. It is recommended that you keep the tag in a safe place for future reference. MYKEYா The MyKey feature allows you to program a restricted driving mode to promote good driving habits. All but one of the keys programmed to the vehicle can be activated as a MyKey. The key will remain restricted until MyKey is cleared. Any remaining keys are referred to as an "administrator key" or admin key. The admin key can be used to create a MyKey, program optional MyKey settings, and clear the MyKey feature. When the MyKey feature is enabled the user can use system check in the message center to see how many MyKeys and admin keys are programmed to the vehicle, and see the total distance the vehicle has been driven with the MyKey active.
