    							Car Finder
    Press the button twice within
    three seconds.  A tone sounds
    and the direction indicators will
    flash.  We recommend you use this method
    to locate your vehicle, rather than using
    the panic alarm.
    Sounding the Panic Alarm Press the button to sound the
    panic alarm.  Press the button
    again or switch the ignition on to
    turn it off.
    Note: The panic alarm only operates when
    the ignition is off.
    Remote Start (If Equipped) WARNING
    To avoid exhaust fumes, do not use
    remote start if your vehicle is parked
    indoors or in areas that are not well
    ventilated. Note:
    Do not use remote start if your fuel
    level is low. The remote start button is on the
    transmitter.
    This feature allows you to start your
    vehicle from the outside. The transmitter
    has an extended operating range.
    You can configure vehicles with automatic
    climate control to turn on the automatic
    climate control when you remote start your
    vehicle.  See Automatic Climate Control
    (page 
    146).  A manual climate control
    system runs at the setting you set it to
    when you switched your vehicle off.
    Many states and provinces restrict the use
    of remote start. Check your local and state
    or provincial laws for specific requirements
    regarding remote start systems. The remote start system does not work if
    any of the following occur:
    •
    The ignition is on.
    • The anti-theft alarm triggers.
    • You switch off the feature.
    • The hood is open.
    • The transmission is not in park (P).
    • The battery voltage is below the
    minimum operating voltage.
    • The service engine soon light is on.

    							The label on your transmitter details the
    starting procedure.
    To remote start your vehicle:
    1. Press the lock button.
    2. Press the remote start button twice.
    The exterior lamps flash twice.
    The horn sounds if the system fails to start,
    unless quiet start is on. Quiet start runs the
    blower fan at a slower speed to reduce
    noise. You can switch it on or off in the
    information display.  See General
    Information (page 111).
    Note: If you do not follow this sequence,
    your vehicle does not start remotely, the
    direction indicators do not flash twice and
    the horn does not sound.
    Note: If you remote start your vehicle with
    an integrated keyhead transmitter, you must
    switch on the ignition before driving your
    vehicle. If you remote start your vehicle with
    an intelligent access transmitter, you must
    press the push button ignition switch on the
    instrument panel once while applying the
    brake pedal before driving your vehicle.
    The power windows do not work during
    remote start and the radio does not turn
    on automatically.
    The parking lamps remain on and your
    vehicle runs for 5, 10 or 15 minutes
    depending on the setting.
    Extending the Engine Running Time
    To extend the engine running time duration
    of your vehicle during remote start, repeat
    steps 1 and 2 while the engine is running.
    If the duration is set to 10 minutes, the
    duration extends by another 10 minutes.
    For example, if your vehicle had been
    running from the first remote start for 5
    minutes, your vehicle continues to run now
    for a total of 20 minutes.  You can extend
    the remote start up to a maximum of 35
    minutes. Wait at least five seconds before remote
    starting after the engine stops running.
    Turning Your Vehicle Off After Remote
    Starting Press the button once.  The
    parking lamps turn off.
    You may have to be closer to the
    vehicle than when starting due to ground
    reflection and the added noise of the
    running vehicle.
    You can turn the remote start system on
    or off using the information display.  See
    General Information
     (page 111).
    REPLACING A LOST KEY OR
    REMOTE CONTROL
    Replacement keys or remote controls can
    be purchased from an authorized dealer.
    Authorized dealers can program remote
    controls for your vehicle.  See 
    Passive
    Anti-Theft System (page 74).

    							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.

    ™ 
    						
    							Note:
    Not every feature applies to every
    vehicle in every market. When they are
    available for your vehicle, then they appear
    in your information display, providing
    choices to switch them on or off, or to select
    a more specific setting.
    • Various vehicle speed limits so the
    MyKey driver cannot exceed certain
    speeds. The information display shows
    warnings followed by an audible tone
    when the MyKey driver reaches the set
    speed. You cannot override the set
    speed by fully depressing the
    accelerator pedal. 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. •
    Various vehicle speed reminders so
    MyKey drivers know when their vehicle
    speed approaches the limits. Warnings
    appear in your information display and
    a tone sounds when the MyKey drivers
    exceed the set vehicle speed.
    • The audio system's maximum volume
    limits to 45% so MyKey drivers can
    concentrate on the road. A message
    appears in the information display
    when MyKey drivers attempt to exceed
    the limited volume. MyKey also
    disables the automatic volume control.
    Note: If your vehicle includes an
    AM/FM radio or a very basic audio
    system, then the radio may not limit.
    • Always on setting. This setting forces
    certain features to remain on and
    active for MyKey drivers. For example,
    E911 or emergency assistance and the
    do not disturb features stay on even if
    a MyKey driver uses the feature's
    control to switch it off.
    CREATING A MYKEY
    Use the information display to create a
    MyKey.
    1. Switch the ignition on using the key or the transmitter you want to program.

    restrictions apply when you restart your
    vehicle with the programmed key or
    transmitter.
    Note: Make sure you label the programmed
    MyKey so you can distinguish it from the
    admin keys.

    transmitter.
    Note: You can clear or change your MyKey
    settings at any time during the same key
    cycle as you created the MyKey. If you
    switch the engine off, you must use an
    admin key to change or clear your optional
    MyKey settings.
    CLEARING ALL MYKEYS
    When you clear your MyKeys, you remove
    all restrictions and return all MyKeys to
    their original admin key status at once. To

    STATUS
    You can find information about your
    programmed MyKeys by using the
    information display.  See 
    Information
    Displays (page 111).
    MyKey Distance
    Tracks the distance when drivers use a
    MyKey. The only way to delete the
    accumulated distance is by using an admin
    key to clear all MyKeys. If the distance does
    not accumulate as expected, then the
    intended user is not using the MyKey, or an
    admin key user recently cleared and then
    recreated a MyKey.
    Number of MyKeys
    Indicates the number of MyKeys
    programmed to your vehicle. Use this
    feature to detect how many MyKeys you
    have for your vehicle and determine when
    all MyKeys have been deleted.
    Number of Admin Keys
    Indicates how many admin keys are
    programmed to your vehicle. Use this
    feature to determine how many admin
    keys you have for your vehicle, and detect
    if an additional MyKey has been
    programmed.
