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 the MyKey® administrator selected top speed setting message; SPEED LIMITED TO XX MPH (km/h). The MyKey® top speed selections are; 100, 110, 120 or 130 kmh (62, 68, 75, or 81 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 [62, 68, 75, or 81 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 (100, 110, 120 or 130 kmh [62, 68, 75, or 81 mph]), the message center displays VEHICLE AT TOP SPEED OF MYKEY SETTING along with a chime.
• If the speed warning is selected at one of the preset values (75, 90, 100 km/h [47, 58, 62 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 assistance or emergency 911 Assist® feature (except Mexico), the Do Not Disturb feature and the Lane Departure Alert 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, 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:

• 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 optional MyKey® features:
  • MyKey® speed limiter
  • MyKey® pre-selected speed warning
  • MyKey® radio volume limiter
  • traction control always on or user selectable
  • emergency 911 assist feature always on or user selectable
  • do not disturb feature always on or user selectable

• a menu to clear all MyKey® programmed keys at once.
• MyKey® mileage driven by the MyKey® user in system check function of the message center.
• the number of MyKey® programmed keys and administrator keys in the system check function of the message center.
