Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) - 2.0L Duratec - Hybrid (103kW 140PS) (UA) - 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 XXX KM/H (XX MPH). 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, 28, 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 TOP SPEED MYKEY SETTING along with a chime.
• If the speed warning is selected at one of the preset values (75, 90, 100 km/h [47, 56, 62 mph]) and the vehicle approaches the preset speed, the message center displays CHECK SPEED DRIVE SAFELY along with a chime.
• At 80 km (50 miles) DTE, the IPC illuminates the low fuel RTT 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), the lane departure would be set to alert only and the MyKey® user will have the capability to change it to other options (alert only, aid only, both or off) 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.
