Program a MyKey™

NOTE: After a MyKey™ has been programmed, the remaining standard key(s) (the key[s] that is not programmed with the MyKey™ feature) is referred to as an "administrator key(s)" or "Admin" key(s). There must always be at least one Admin key.
NOTE: The MyKey™ feature can be cleared within the same key cycle that it was programmed. Follow the Clear MyKey™ procedure to clear the key of any restricted MyKey™ status. If the key has been cycled, an Admin key is required to clear the MyKey™ programming.
  1. Insert a programmed IA key into the backup transceiver slot and turn the ignition to RUN. This IA key must be the one that is being programmed to the MyKey™ restricted status.
  2. Using the message center buttons:
    1. Press the SETUP button until PRESS RESET TO CREATE MYKEY appears in the message center display.
    2. Press and release the RESET button. HOLD RESET TO CONFIRM MYKEY is displayed.
    3. Press and hold the RESET button (for approximately 2 seconds) until MARK THIS KEY AS RESTRICTED is displayed.
    4. Wait until KEY RESTRICTED AT NEXT START is displayed, then release the RESET button.
  3. The MyKey™ feature (standard restricted features) is successfully programmed into this particular key. Make sure it is labeled for easy identification. If you would like to customize the MyKey™ with the audio volume limited, maximum speed limit, speed alert chimes, and AdvanceTrac® on/off restrictions, refer to CONFIGURING MYKEY™ OPTIONAL RESTRICTED FEATURES .
