System Operation: MyKey®

The MyKey® feature allows the customer to program a restricted driving mode that is tied to one or more keys known as a MyKey® key. When a MyKey® programmed key is in use, the IPC provides the following functions:

• At the beginning of 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 130 KM/H (80 MPH).
• The IPC continuously provides a periodic Belt-Minder® warning chime until the driver and passenger safety belts are buckled. When the Belt-Minder® is issued, the ACM is muted and the message center displays BUCKLE UP TO UNMUTE AUDIO.
• If the MyKey® speed limiter feature is turned on and the vehicle speed approaches 130 kmh (80 mph), the message center displays VEHICLE NEAR MYKEY TOP SPEED along with a chime.
• If the MyKey® speed limiter feature is turned on and the vehicle speed reaches 130 kmh (80 mph), the message center displays VEHICLE AT TOP OF MYKEY SETTING along with a chime.
• If the speed warning is selected at one of the preset values (75, 90, 105 km/h [45, 55, 65 mph]) and the vehicle approaches the preset 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 attempts to disable the traction control, the message center displays TRACTION CONTROL SET TO ALWAYS ON.
• At 120 km (75 miles) of remaining fuel, the IPC illuminates the low fuel indicator (if equipped) and the message center displays the appropriate DTE along with a chime.
• MyKey® miles driven by the MyKey® user can be found in the information display.
• The number of MyKey® programmed and administrator keys can be found in the information display.
• The parking aid, BLIS / CTA and collision avoidance warning menus are 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 guiding 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® 130 KM/H (80 MPH) speed limiter
  • MyKey® pre-selected speed warning
  • MyKey® radio volume limiter
  • Traction control on/off
• The message center provides a menu to clear all MyKey® programmed keys at once.
• MyKey® mileage driven by the MyKey® user can be found in system check function of the message center.
• The number of MyKey® programmed keys and administrator keys can be found in the system check function of the message center.
