Not every vehicle includes the features listed below. If your vehicle has this equipment, you will not be able to change the following settings when using MyKey:

  • Belt-Minder™ seatbelt reminder. MyKey mutes the audio system until drivers and, in some cases, passengers buckle their seatbelts. Note: If your vehicle includes an AM/FM radio or a very basic audio system, the radio may not mute.
  • Earlier low fuel warning. The low fuel warning activates earlier for MyKey drivers, giving them more time to refuel.
  • Some driver warning, stability, or parking assist systems turn on automatically when using MyKey. For example, Blind Spot Information System (BLIS), Cross-Traffic Alert, Lane Departure Warning, or Forward Collision Warning. Note: MyKey drivers can turn off the lane departure warning feature, but this feature automatically turns back on with each new key press.
  • Limited touchscreen operation in some markets. For example, MyKey may prevent manual entry of a navigation destination when the vehicle is in any gear other than Park (P) or when the vehicle reaches a certain speed.
  • Satellite radio adult content restrictions, if this feature is available in your market.
