MyKey® PRINCIPLE 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 MyKey settings • clear all MyKey features 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. For vehicles equipped with intelligent access key (push button start), when both a MyKey and an admin intelligent access key (fob) are present, the admin fob will be recognized by the vehicle to start the engine. Optional Settings These settings can be configured right after a MyKey is first created or changed afterword with an Admin key. • Vehicle speed limit of 80 mph (130 km/h). Visual warnings are displayed followed by an audible tone when vehicle speed has reached 80 mph (130 km/h). • Vehicle speed warning of 45, 55 or 65 mph (75, 90, or 105 km/h). Visual warnings are displayed followed by an audible tone when the preselected vehicle speed is exceeded. • Audio system maximum volume of 45%. A message in the audio system is displayed when attempting to exceed the limited volume. • AdvanceTrac®. The system cannot be turned off when Always-on has been set. CREATING A MYKEY Use the information display control to create a MyKey: 1. Insert the key you want to program into the ignition or, if the vehicle is equipped with push button start, put the intelligent access key in the backup slot. Backup slot information is located in a different chapter. See Starting and Stopping the Engine (page 135). Turn the ignition on. Access the main menu on the information display controls and select Settings, then MyKey by pressing OK or the > button. Press OK to select Create. When prompted, hold the OK button until you see a message informing you to label this key as a MyKey. The key will be restricted at the next start. 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. • Early low fuel. Warnings are displayed in the information display control followed by an audible tone when the fuel tank is at one-eighth tank or less. • Driver assist features, if equipped on your vehicle, are forced on: Parking aid, blind spot information system (BLIS®) with cross traffic alert and the collision warning system. 2. 3. 4. 5. 49
