CREATING A MYKEY
Use the information display to create a MyKey:
1. Insert the key you want to program into the ignition. If your vehicle is
equipped with a push-button start and you do not have a backup slot,
hold the intelligent access key next to the steering column. The correct
position to place your fob is in another chapter. See
Starting and
Stopping the Engine
.
2. Switch the ignition on.
3. Access the main menu on the information display controls, and select
Settings
, then
MyKey
by pressing
OK
or the
>
button.
4. Press
OK
or the
>
button to select
Create MyKey
.
5. 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.
MyKey is successfully created. Make sure you label it so you can
distinguish it from the admin keys.
You can also program configurable settings for the key(s). Refer to
Programming/Changing Configurable Settings
