Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC): MyKey®
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford Mustang. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The MyKey® feature allows the customer to program a restricted driving mode that is tied to one or more keys known as a MyKey®. When a MyKey® is in use, the IPC provides the following functions:
- At vehicle start up, as part of the welcome strategy, the message center greets the MyKey® driver with MYKEY ACTIVE DRIVE SAFELY displayed in the message center. If the MyKey® speed limiter feature is turned on, the message center also displays SPEED LIMITED TO 80 MPH (or 130 km/h).
- The IPC provides a periodical Belt-Minder® warning chime until the driver and passenger safety belts are buckled. When the Belt-Minder® is issued, the Audio Control Module (ACM) is muted and the message center displays BUCKLE UP TO UNMUTE RADIO.
- If the MyKey® speed limiter feature is turned on and the vehicle speed approaches 130 km/h (80 mph), the message center displays VEHICLE SPEED 80 MPH MAX along with a chime.
- If the MyKey® speed limiter feature is turned on and the vehicle speed approaches 120 km/h (75 mph), the message center displays VEHICLE NEAR TOP SPEED along with a chime.
- If the speed warning is selected at one of the pre-set values (75, 90, 105 km/h [45, 55, 65 mph]) and the vehicle approaches the pre-set speed, the message center displays CHECK SPEED DRIVE SAFELY along with a chime.
- If the traction control always on feature is turned on and the MyKey® driver presses the traction control switch to disable traction control, the message center displays ADVTRAC ON MyKey® SETTING.
- At 120 km (75 miles) to empty, the IPC illuminates the low fuel indicator and the message center displays 75 MILES TO EMPTY along with a chime
- MyKey® mileages driven by the MyKey® user can be found in the INFO display and in the system check function of the message center.
- The number of MyKey® programmed and administrator keys can be found in the system check function of the message center.
- The parking aid warning menu is disabled in the message center to force these features always on.
When an administrator key is in use, the IPC provides the following functions:
- The message center provides a menu that guides the user to create a MyKey®. When the maximum MyKey® limit is reached, the MyKey® creation menu is no longer available.
- The message center provides menus for setting 4 optional MyKey® features:
- MyKey® 80 MPH speed limiter
- MyKey® pre-selected speed warning
- MyKey® radio volume limiter
