MyKey® The key is successfully programmed. Make sure you label it so you can distinguish it from the admin keys. You can program optional settings for the key(s). Refer to Programming/Changing optional settings. Vehicles equipped with remote start need to follow a separate procedure. See Using MyKey With Remote Start Systems (page 50). 3. Hold the OK button until ALL MYKEYS CLEARED is displayed. CHECKING MYKEY SYSTEM STATUS The information display control displays information about keys programmed to the vehicle: • MYKEY MILES: Tracks mileage when a restricted key is used. If mileage does not accumulate as expected, then the key is not being used by the intended user. The only way to reset this to zero is by resetting the keys. If the mileage is lower than the last time you checked, then the key system has been recently reset. • #MYKEY(S): Indicates how many restricted keys are programmed to the vehicle. Can also be used to detect deletion of a restricted key. • #ADMIN KEY(S): Indicates how many admin keys are programmed to the vehicle. Can also be used to detect if an additional key has been programmed to the vehicle. Programming/Changing Optional Settings All programmed keys can be cleared within the same key cycle in which a key was programmed, otherwise an admin key is required to clear the keys. See Clearing All MyKeys (page 50). You can access the optional settings through the information display control. 1. Turn the ignition on using an admin key. 2. Access the main menu and select Settings, then MyKey. 3. Use the arrow buttons to get to an optional feature. 4. Press OK or > to scroll through settings. 5. Press OK or > to make a selection. CLEARING ALL MYKEYS All programmed MyKeys can be cleared within the same key cycle in which a MyKey was created, otherwise an admin key is required to clear the keys. To clear all MyKeys (which removes all restrictions and returns them to admin key status), use the information display control to do the following: 1. Access the main menu and select Settings, then MyKey. 2. Scroll to Clear All and press the OK button.
