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. When a MyKey® key is in use, the IPC provides the following:

• 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 XXX KM/H.
• The IPC continuously provides a periodic Belt-Minder® warning chime until the driver and passenger seatbelts are buckled. When the Belt-Minder® is issued, the ACM is muted and the message center displays BUCKLE UP TO UNMUTE AUDIO (except base AM/ FM audio). The IPC continuously provides a periodic warning chime until the driver and passenger seatbelts are buckled.
• If the audio system volume limit is turned on, a message displays in the message center if the audio volume limit is exceeded.
• If the MyKey® speed limiter feature is turned on and the vehicle speed approaches the selected top speed, 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 the selected top speed, 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 [47, 56, 62 mph]) and the vehicle approaches the preset speed, the message center displays CHECK SPEED DRIVE SAFELY, along with a chime.
• Emergency Assistance and Do Not Disturb features can be set to always on, and cannot be turned off with a MyKey®.
• Traction control can be turned off with a MyKey if the Admin user allows it.
• Collision avoidance, lane keep assist, parking aid and BLIS/ CTA are enabled when the vehicle is started, and cannot be turned off with a MyKey®.
• A new destination can only be set in the navigation system using voice commands when a MyKey® is in use and the vehicle is moving.
• 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.
