WHAT IS MYKEY

MyKey

MyKey allows you to program keys with
restricted driving modes to promote good
driving habits.

MYKEY SETTINGS

NON-CONFIGURABLE MYKEY
SETTINGS

Seatbelt Reminder or Belt-

MyKey mutes the audio system until the
front seat passengers buckle the front seat
belts.

Note:

If your vehicle includes an AM/FM

radio or a very basic audio system, then the

Some Satellite radio channels have
restricted access to adult radio content.

Early Low Fuel

Driving and Parking Aids

You cannot configure settings for parking
aids, blind spot information system, and
cross traffic alert. These systems turn on
when the vehicle turns on, and you cannot
switch them off with a MyKey.

You cannot configure settings for
pre-collision assist and lane keeping. These
systems turn on when the vehicle turns on,
but you can switch them off with a MyKey.

A new destination in the navigation system
can only be set using voice commands
when using a MyKey, and with your vehicle
moving.

Note:

MyKey drivers may be able to switch

the lane departure warning feature off, but
this feature turns back on automatically
with every new key cycle.

CONFIGURABLE MYKEY
SETTINGS

You can configure the following settings
after creating a MyKey. See

Creating a

MyKey

(page 66).

Speed Limit

WARNING:

Do not set MyKey

maximum speed limit to a limit that will
prevent the driver from maintaining a
safe speed considering posted speed
limits and prevailing road conditions. The
driver is always responsible to drive in
accordance with local laws and
prevailing conditions. Failure to do so
could result in accident or injury.

You can set a speed limit for your vehicle.
Warning messages appear on the
instrument cluster display and a tone
sounds if your vehicle reaches the set
speed. You cannot override the set speed
when using a MyKey.

Speed Minder

You can set a speed reminder for your
vehicle. Warning messages appear on the
instrument cluster display and a tone
sounds if your vehicle exceeds the set
speed.

MyKey™

Audio System Volume Limit

The audio system maximum volume
reduces. A message appears on the
instrument cluster display if you attempt
to exceed the volume limit. Automatic
volume control turns off.

911 Assist

If you set 911 assist to always on, you
cannot switch it off with a MyKey.

Do Not Disturb

If you set do not disturb to always on, you
cannot switch it off with a MyKey.

Note:

If a phone is connected using Apple

CarPlay or Android Auto while driving with
a MyKey, the driver can receive phone calls
and text messages even if the do not disturb
restriction is on. And if the vehicle comes
with satellite radio, there is no restriction on
the adult content.
