Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC): 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®. When MyKey® 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 80 MPH (or 130 km/h).
