Keys and Remote ControlsE218402 E138623 E138624 E138625
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
MyKey allows you to program keys withrestricted driving modes to promote gooddriving habits. You can program therestrictions to all keys but one. Any keysthat you did not program are administratorkeys or admin keys.
You can use admin keys to:
•Create a MyKey with certain vehiclerestrictions.
•Program certain MyKey settings.
•Clear all MyKey restrictions.
After you program a MyKey, you can viewthe following information through theinformation display:
•The total number of admin keys andMyKeys for your vehicle.
•The total distance a MyKey drivertraveled with your vehicle.
Note:Every MyKey receives the samerestrictions and settings. You cannotprogram them individually.
Note:For vehicles equipped with apush-button start switch: When both aMyKey and an admin key are present whenyou start your vehicle, the system recognizesthe admin key only.
Standard Settings
Not every vehicle includes the featureslisted below. If your vehicle has thisequipment, then you cannot change thefollowing settings when using a MyKey:
•Seatbelt reminder or Belt-Minder™.MyKey mutes the audio system untildrivers, and in some instances,passengers, fasten their seatbelts.Note: If your vehicle includes anAM/FM radio or a very basic audiosystem, then the radio may not mute.
•Earlier low-fuel warning. The low-fuelwarning activates earlier for MyKeydrivers, giving them more time to refuel.
•Certain driver alerts, stability systemsor parking aids turn on automaticallywhen you use the MyKey system. Forexample, Blind Spot InformationSystem (BLIS), cross traffic alert, lanedeparture warning or forward collisionwarning.Note: MyKey drivers may beable to turn the lane departure warningfeature off, but this feature turns backon automatically with every new keycycle.
•Restricted touchscreen operation insome markets. For example, MyKeymay prevent manual navigationdestination input while the vehicle is inany gear other than park (P) or whenthe vehicle reaches a certain rate ofspeed.
•Satellite radio adult contentrestrictions, if this feature is availablein your market.
Optional Settings
You can configure certain vehicle featuresettings when you first create a MyKey. Youcan also change the settings afterwardwith an admin key.

A full fill represents the total amount ofenergy you can get from an external charge(plugging your vehicle in). When the fillreaches empty, your vehicle automaticallyenters Hybrid Mode and the large batterygauge will no longer be shown.
An optional small battery gauge is providedfor Hybrid vehicles and for Hybrid Modeonly in Energi vehicles. This can be enabledin the Settings menu under Battery Display.See General Information (page 94). Thefill level, or State of Charge, indicates theamount of energy stored in the highvoltage battery as a percent of total energycapacity. The level increases or decreasesas the battery charges and dischargesduring normal operation.
Regen Display
A circular arrow symbol displays whenenergy is being recaptured through theregenerative braking system. Regen Displaycan be disabled in the Settings menu. SeeGeneral Information (page 94).
Fuel Gauge:
Note:The fuel gauge may vary slightlywhen your vehicle is moving or on a gradient.
Switch the ignition on. The fuel gauge willindicate approximately how much fuel isin the fuel tank. The arrow adjacent to thefuel pump symbol indicates on which sideof your vehicle the fuel filler door is located.
The needle should move toward F whenyou refuel your vehicle. If the needle pointsto E after adding fuel, this indicates yourvehicle needs service soon.
After refueling some variability in needleposition is normal:
•It may take a short time for the needleto reach full after leaving the gasstation. This is normal and dependsupon the slope of pavement at the gasstation.
•The fuel amount dispensed into thetank is a little less or more than thegauge indicated. This is normal anddepends upon the slope of pavementat the gas station.
•If the gas station nozzle shuts offbefore the tank is full, try a differentgas pump nozzle.
•There is a small reserve left in the tankwhen the fuel gauge reaches empty.
Low Fuel Reminder
A low fuel reminder triggers at 50 mi(80 km) to empty.
Variations:
Note:The low fuel reminder can appear atdifferent fuel gauge positions depending onfuel economy conditions. This variation isnormal.
