until you see a message informing you to
label this key as a MyKey. The key will be
restricted at your vehicle's next start.
MyKey is successfully created. Make sure
you label it so you can distinguish it from
the admin keys.
You can also program configurable
settings for the key(s). Refer to
Programming/Changing Configurable
Settings
.

your MyKey settings.
CLEARING ALL MYKEYS
You can clear all MyKeys within the same
key cycle as you created the MyKey. If you
switch your ignition off, however, you will
need to use an admin key to clear your
MyKeys.
Note: When you clear your MyKeys, you
remove all restrictions and return all MyKeys
to their original admin key status at once.
To clear all MyKeys of all MyKey settings,

MYKEYS CLEARED displays.
CHECKING MYKEY SYSTEM
STATUS
You can find information about your
programmed MyKeys by using the
information display.
MYKEY DISTANCE
Tracks the distance when drivers use a
MyKey. The only way to delete the
accumulated distance is by using an admin
key to clear your MyKey. If the distance
does not accumulate as expected, then
the intended user is not using the MyKey,
or an admin key user recently cleared and
then recreated a MyKey.

Note:
During silent key start mode, the
thermometer indicator will be blue, but the
gasoline engine will not run. This is the result
of the vehicle computer allowing the engine
to be cooler during the silent key start
period. This is normal operation and does
not indicate a problem with your vehicle.
After the first engine start the indicator will
turn white when the gasoline engine is warm
enough to turn off.
• White thermometer - This indicates
that the hybrid system is warm enough
to allow EV operation. If the vehicle
operates on battery power long
enough, it is possible that the gasoline
engine may need to run to keep the
system warm. In this case, the
thermometer indicator will revert back
to blue.
• Tach rpm x 1000 — When the gasoline
engine is running, the tachometer
gauge displays the engine speed in
revolutions per minute (RPM). When
the vehicle is operating on battery
power only with the engine off, EV is
displayed and the tachometer is greyed
out.
Note: The trip data, and average fuel
economy cannot be reset in MyView.
Energy Use (Energi only)
Energy Use provides an energy use gauge
and a climate power gauge in addition to
fuel level and battery display. When you
select EV Now operation this screen will
automatically be shown. You can press OK
to enable the engine when viewing this
screen during EV Now operation. See
Hybrid Electric Vehicle (page 129). •
Consumption Gauge: Your current
present energy use per distance
traveled is represented by the white
line that moves up and down in the
gauge. A higher line means you are
using more energy (lower is better).
Your energy use includes input from
the accelerator pedal as well as the
accessories, such as Climate Control.
When operating in EV Now a blue cup
shape is shown around the gauge. This
represents the maximum energy usage you
can maintain in order to achieve the
estimated electric range shown on the
battery gauge at the time of entering EV
now. Keep your current energy use mostly
within the cup while driving and you should
achieve your electric range estimate.
• Climate Power Gauge: Indicates high
voltage electrical power demand from
you vehicle ’s high voltage climate
control components such as the
electric A/C compressor and the
electric heater. These components use
power but do not contribute to
propelling the vehicle. The gauge
displays power demand in kilowatts
(kW).
Trip 1 & 2 Use the arrow buttons to choose
between the following.
Note: Pressing
OK resets the odometer and timer.
