PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
MyKey allows you to program keys with
restricted driving modes to promote good
driving habits. You can program the
restrictions to all keys but one. Any keys
that you did not program are administrator
keys or admin keys.
You can use admin keys to:
•
Create a MyKey with certain vehicle
restrictions.
•
Program certain MyKey settings.
•
Clear all MyKey restrictions.
After you program a MyKey, you can view
the following information through the
information display:
•
The total number of admin keys and
MyKeys for your vehicle.
•
The total distance a MyKey driver
traveled with your vehicle.
Note:
Every MyKey receives the same
restrictions and settings. You cannot
program them individually.
Note:
For vehicles equipped with a
push-button start switch: When both a
MyKey and an admin key are present when
you start your vehicle, the system recognizes
the admin key only.
Standard Settings
Not every vehicle includes the features
listed below. If your vehicle has this
equipment, then you cannot change the
following settings when using a MyKey:
•
Seatbelt reminder or Belt-Minder™.
MyKey mutes the audio system until
drivers, and in some instances,
passengers, fasten their seatbelts.
Note:
If your vehicle includes an
AM/FM radio or a very basic audio
system, then the radio may not mute.
•
Earlier low-fuel warning. The low-fuel
warning activates earlier for MyKey
drivers, giving them more time to refuel.
•
Certain driver alerts, stability systems
or parking aids turn on automatically
when you use the MyKey system. For
example, Blind Spot Information
System (BLIS), cross traffic alert, lane
departure warning or forward collision
warning.
Note:
MyKey drivers may be
able to turn the lane departure warning
feature off, but this feature turns back
on automatically with every new key
cycle.
•
Restricted touchscreen operation in
some markets. For example, MyKey
may prevent manual navigation
destination input while the vehicle is in
any gear other than park (P) or when
the vehicle reaches a certain rate of
speed.
•
Satellite radio adult content
restrictions, if this feature is available
in your market.
Optional Settings
You can configure certain vehicle feature
settings when you first create a MyKey. You
can also change the settings afterward
with an admin key.
