PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
MyKey allows you to program keys with
restricted driving modes to promote good
driving habits. All but one of the keys
programmed to the vehicle can be activated
with these restricted modes.
Any keys that have not been programmed
are referred to as administrator keys or
admin keys. These can be used to:
•
create a MyKey
• program configurable MyKey settings
• clear all MyKey features.
When you have programmed a MyKey, you
can access the following information using
the information display:
• How many admin keys and MyKeys are
programmed to your vehicle.
• The total distance your vehicle has
traveled using a MyKey.
Note: All MyKeys are programmed to the
same settings. You cannot program them
individually. Note:
For vehicles with intelligent access
with push-button start, when both a MyKey
and an admin intelligent access key fob are
present, the admin fob will be recognized by
the vehicle while switching the ignition on to
start the vehicle.
Non-configurable Settings
The following settings cannot be changed
by an admin key user:
• Belt-Minder. You cannot disable this
feature. The audio system will mute when
the front seat occupants ’ safety belts are
not fastened.
• Early low fuel. The low-fuel warning
activates earlier, giving the MyKey user
more time to refuel.
• Driver assist features, if equipped on your
vehicle, are forced on: parking aid, blind
spot information system (BLIS) with cross
traffic alert, lane departure warning and
forward collision warning system. Configurable Settings
With an admin key, you can configure certain
MyKey settings when you first create a
MyKey and before you recycle the key or
restart the vehicle. You can also change the
settings afterward with an admin key.
•
A vehicle speed limit can be set.
Warnings will be shown in the display
followed by an audible tone when your
vehicle reaches the set speed. You
cannot override the set speed by fully
depressing the accelerator pedal or by
setting cruise control.
• Vehicle speed minders of 45, 55 or 65
mph (75, 90 or 105 km/h). Once you
select a speed, it will be shown in the
display, followed by an audible tone
when the preselected vehicle speed is
exceeded.

•
Audio system maximum volume of 45%.
A message will be shown in the display
when you attempt to exceed the limited
volume. Also, the speed-sensitive or
compensated automatic volume control
will be disabled.
• Always on setting. When this is selected,
you will not be able to turn off Advance
Trac (if your vehicle is equipped with this
feature).
CREATING A MYKEY
Use the information display to create a
MyKey:
1. Insert the key you want to program into the
ignition. If your vehicle is equipped with a
push-button start, place the intelligent access
key fob into the backup slot. The location of
your backup slot is in another chapter. See
Starting and Stopping the Engine (page 163).
2. Switch the ignition on. 3. Access the main menu on the information
display controls, and select
Settings then
MyKey by pressing OK or the > button.
4. Press OK or the > button to select Create
MyKey
.
5. When prompted, hold the
OK button until
you see a message informing you to label
this key as a MyKey. The key will be
restricted at the 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). See Programming/Changing
Configurable Settings
.
Programming/Changing Configurable
Settings
Use the information display to access your
configurable MyKey settings. 1.
Switch the ignition on using an admin key
or fob.
2. Access the main menu on the information
display controls, and select
Settings,
then MyKey by pressing OK or > button.
3. Use the arrow buttons to get to a feature.
4. Press
OK or > to make a selection.
Note: You can clear or change your MyKey
settings at any time during the same key
cycle as you created the MyKey. Once you
have switched the vehicle off, however, you
will need an admin key to change or clear
your MyKey settings.
CLEARING ALL MYKEYS
You can clear or change your MyKey settings
using the information display control on the
steering wheel.
See Information Displays
(page 109).
Switch the ignition on using an admin key or
fob.

Type 2 - Configurable
Note:
If this type is equipped, you are able
to switch the daytime running lamps on or
off using the information display controls.
See Information Displays (page 109).
When the daytime running lamps are
switched on in the information display and
you switch the ignition to the on position with
the lighting control in the autolamps position,
the daytime running lamps turn on whenever
the headlamps are off.
The other lighting control switch positions
do not activate the daytime running lamps
and can be used to temporarily override
autolamp control.
When switched off in the information display,
the daytime running lamps are off in all
lighting control switch positions. AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM
CONTROL
(If Equipped)
The system will automatically turn on your
high beams if it is dark enough and no other
traffic is present. When it detects the
headlights of an approaching vehicle, the tail
lamps of the preceding vehicle or street
lighting, the system will turn off the high
beams before they distract other drivers. The
low beams remain on.
Note: If it appears that automatic control of
the high beams is not functioning properly,
check the windshield in front of the camera
for a blockage. A clear view of the road is
required for proper system operation. Have
any windshield damage in the area of the
camera ’s field-of-view repaired.
Note: If the system detects a blockage such
as bird droppings, bug splatter, snow or ice,
and you do not observe changes, the system
will go into low beam mode until you clear
the blockage. A message may also appear
in the instrument cluster display noting the
front camera is blocked. Note:
Typical road dust, dirt and water spots
will not affect the performance of the
automatic high beam system . However, in
cold or inclement weather conditions, you
will notice a decrease in the availability of
the high beam system, especially at start up.
If you want to change the beam state
independently of the system, you may switch
the high beams on or off using the
multifunction switch. Automatic control will
resume when conditions are correct.
Note: Modification of the vehicle ride height
such as using much larger tires, may
degrade feature performance.
A camera sensor, centrally mounted behind
the windshield of your vehicle, continuously
monitors conditions to decide when to switch
the high beams off and on.
Once the system is active, the high beams
will switch on if:
• the ambient light level is low enough
• there is no traffic in front of the vehicle
• the vehicle speed is greater than 25 mph
(40 km/h)

MKZ Hybrid (), enUSA Lighting

The system will only work with the lighting
control switch in the autolamp position. Note:
There is a delay of two to five seconds
before the system will operate when the
vehicle is driven.
Note: The system is only active at speeds
above 3 mph (5 km/h).
The system has a power-up movement check
feature. When the vehicle is started, the
lamps track left to right, then back to center
to alert the driver that the system is working
properly. DIRECTION INDICATORS

Accessory Power— Indicates electrical
power demands from your vehicle ’s
accessory systems. Accessories use
power but do not contribute to propelling
your vehicle. The gauge separately
displays power demand in kilowatts (kW)
for climate and other accessories.
• Climate includes the power being
used by high voltage climate control
components such as the electric A/C
compressor.
• Other includes all power being used
by the low voltage accessories (cabin
fans, headlights and heated seats).
• Coolant Temp – Indicates engine coolant
temperature. At normal operating
temperature, the level indicator will be
white and will be in the normal range
(between H and C). If the engine coolant
temperature exceeds the normal range,
the level indicator will change to red to
indicate that the engine is overheating.
Stop your vehicle as soon as safely
possible, turn your vehicle off and let the
engine cool. •
Tach rpm x 1000 — When the gasoline
engine is running, the tachometer gauge
displays the engine speed in revolutions
per minute (RPM). When your vehicle is
operating on battery power only with the
engine off, EV displays and the
tachometer is greyed out.
Note: The trip data, and average fuel
economy cannot be reset in MyView.
Trip 1 & 2
Provides trip odometer, trip average fuel
economy and trip timer.
Distance traveled on battery power only with
the engine off is shown in blue next to total
trip distance.
