MyKey™ Feature: Notes
The MyKey™ feature allows a restricted driving mode to be programmed into one (or more) key(s) supplied with the vehicle or into any (PATS) programmed spare key(s) to promote good driving habits. The MyKey™ is a restricted key for all consecutive key cycles until the MyKey™ restricted key is cleared. The remaining key(s) is referred to as an "administrator key" or Admin key. There must always be at least one Admin key. The IPC does not allow the last Admin key to be programmed into a MyKey™ restricted key. Both the Admin key and the MyKey™ can be used to see how many Admin keys and MyKey™ restricted keys are programmed to the vehicle, and how many total miles have been driven with the MyKey™ restricted key active.
When the MyKey™ feature is programmed, several features are modified including:
Standard Restricted Features
- Belt-Minder® chimes periodically with the audio system muted until the driver safety belt is buckled. If Belt-Minder® has been disabled when the Admin key is in the ignition lock cylinder, Belt-Minder® still functions for the MyKey™ driver. Belt-Minder® cannot be disabled by the MyKey™ driver.
- Audible and visual low fuel warnings are issued when the programmed Distance To Empty (DTE) value is reached (typically 75 miles).
- The parking aid system (if equipped), Blind Spot Information System (BLIS®) with cross traffic alert (if equipped), and forward collision warning (if equipped) cannot be turned off.
