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. The following features are provided by the IPC  when a MyKey® key is being used:

• 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 the MyKey® administrator selected top speed setting message; SPEED LIMITED TO XXX KM/H (XX MPH). The MyKey® top speed selections are; 105, 110, 120 or 130 kmh (65, 70, 75, or 80 mph) or to the administrator desired setpoint.
• The IPC  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 the selected top speed (100, 110, 120 or 130 kmh [60, 70, 75, or 80 mph]), the message center displays NEAR VEHICLE TOP SPEED along with a chime.
• If the MyKey® speed limiter feature is turned on and the vehicle speed reaches the selected top speed (105, 110, 120 or 130 kmh [65, 70, 75, or 80 mph]), the message center displays TOP SPEED 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.
• At approximately 1/8 tank of remaining fuel, the IPC  illuminates the low fuel message center indicator and the message center displays FUEL LEVEL LOW along with a chime.
• Traction control, Emergency 911 Assist® feature and the Do Not Disturb feature can be set to always on or user selectable in the MyKey® menu.
• If the traction control always on feature is turned on and the MyKey® driver attempts to disable the traction control, the message center displays ADVANCETRAC ON MYKEY SETTING.
• 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 MyKey® menu.
• The parking aid, Blind Spot Monitoring System/Cross Traffic Alert (BLIS®/CTA), lane departure alert 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:

• a menu in the message center guiding the user to create a MyKey®. When the maximum MyKey® limit is reached, the MyKey® creation menu is no longer available.
• a menu in the message center with options for setting 6 MyKey® features:
