GENERAL PROCEDURES

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 Disable MyKey®
procedure in this section 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.

Restricted Features in this section.
If the vehicle is equipped with an aftermarket remote start, also refer to Using MyKey® with Aftermarket
