Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) - System Operation and Component Description: 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 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 km/h (80 mph), the message center displays VEHICLE NEAR TOP SPEED, along with a chime.
• If the MyKey® speed limiter feature is turned on and the vehicle speed reaches 130 km/h (80 mph), the message center displays VEHICLE AT TOP SPEED, along with a chime.
• If the speed warning is selected at one of the preset values (75, 90, 100 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 ADVANTRAK CANNOT BE DEACTIVATED.
• At 1/8 tank of remaining fuel, the IPC illuminates the low fuel indicator 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.

MyKey® information can be accessed by an administrator key or a MyKey® key.

When an administrator key is in use, the IPC provides:

• MyKey® mileage driven by the MyKey® user, which can be found in the information tab of the message center.
• The number of MyKey® programmed keys and administrator keys. This information is found in the system check function of the message center.
