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 push-button start,
when both a MyKey and an admin remote
transmitter are present, the admin remote
transmitter 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:
• Seat belt reminder or Belt Minder. You
cannot disable this feature. The audio
system will mute when the front seat
passengers' 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 or
active city-stop. 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. WARNING
Do not set MyKey maximum speed limit
to a limit that will prevent the driver
from maintaining a safe speed
considering posted speed limits and
prevailing road conditions. The driver is
always responsible to drive in accordance
with local laws and prevailing conditions.
Failure to do so could result in accident or
injury. 50

PARKING BRAKE
WARNINGS
If the parking brake is fully released, but
the brake warning lamp remains
illuminated, then driving your vehicle
could result in reduced braking ability,
increased stopping distances and potential
loss of brakes. See your authorized dealer as
soon as possible. Always set the parking brake fully and
make sure the transmission is placed
in park (P). Failure to set the parking
brake and engage park could result in vehicle
roll-away, property damage or bodily injury.
Turn the ignition to the lock position and
remove the key whenever you leave your
vehicle. To set the parking brake, press the parking
brake pedal down to its fullest extent.
To release the parking brake, press the
parking brake pedal down again. HILL START ASSIST WARNINGS
The system does not replace the
parking brake. When you leave your
vehicle, always apply the parking brake.
Failure to leave your vehicle securely parked
may lead to a crash or injury. See
Parking
Brake (page 148). You must remain in your vehicle when
the system turns on. At all times, you
are responsible for controlling your
vehicle, supervising the system and
intervening, if required. Failure to take care
may result in the loss of control of your
vehicle, serious personal injury or death. The system will turn off if a malfunction
is apparent or if you rev the engine
excessively. Failure to take care may
result in the loss of control of your vehicle,
serious personal injury or death. The system makes it easier to pull away
when your vehicle is on a slope without the
need to use the parking brake.When the system is active, your vehicle
remains stationary on the slope for two to
three seconds after you release the brake
pedal. This allows time to move your foot
from the brake to the accelerator pedal. The
system releases the brakes automatically
once the engine has developed sufficient
drive to prevent your vehicle from rolling
down the slope. This is an advantage when
pulling away on a slope, for example from a
car park ramp, traffic lights or when reversing
uphill into a parking space.
Note:
The system only functions when you
bring your vehicle to a complete standstill.
Shift the gearshift lever to reverse (R) when
facing downhill and first gear (1) when facing
uphill.
Note: There is no warning light to indicate the
system is either on or off.
Using Hill Start Assist
1. Press the brake pedal to bring your vehicle to a complete standstill. Keep the
brake pedal pressed.
2. If the sensors detect that your vehicle is on a slope, the system activates
automatically.

PARKING AID (If Equipped)
WARNINGS
To help avoid personal injury, please
read and understand the limitations of
the system as contained in this section.
Sensing is only an aid for some (generally
large and fixed) objects when moving on a
flat surface at parking speeds. Certain objects
with surfaces that absorb ultrasonic waves,
traffic control systems, fluorescent lamps,
inclement weather, air brakes, and external
motors and fans may also affect the function
of the sensing system; this may include
reduced performance or a false activation. To help avoid personal injury, always
use caution when in reverse (R) and
when using the sensing system.
This system is not designed to prevent
contact with small or moving objects.
The system is designed to provide a
warning to assist the driver in detecting large
stationary objects to avoid damaging the
vehicle. The system may not detect smaller
objects, particularly those close to the
ground. WARNINGS
Certain add-on devices such as large
trailer hitches, bike or surfboard racks
and any device that may block the
normal detection zone of the system, may
create false beeps. Note:
Keep the sensors, located on the
bumper or fascia, free from snow, ice and large
accumulations of dirt. If the sensors are
covered, the system ’s accuracy can be
affected. Do not clean the sensors with sharp
objects.
Note: If your vehicle sustains damage to the
bumper or fascia, leaving it misaligned or bent,
the sensing zone may be altered causing
inaccurate measurement of obstacles or false
alarms.
Note: If your vehicle is equipped with
MyKey ™, it is possible to prevent turning the
sensing system off. See
MyKey ™ (page 50).
The sensing system warns the driver of
obstacles within a certain range of the
bumper area. The system turns on
automatically whenever you switch the
ignition on. When receiving a detection warning, the radio
volume reduces to a predetermined level.
After the warning goes away, the radio
volume returns to the previous level.
You can switch the system off through the
information display menu or from the pop-up
message that appears once you shift the
transmission into reverse (R). If your vehicle
is equipped with a front sensing system, you
can switch the system off using the parking
aid switch. See General Information (page
88
).
If a fault is present in the system, a warning
message appears in the information display
and you cannot switch the system on through
the pop-up message or parking aid switch.
See
Information Messages (page 94).
Rear Sensing System
The rear sensors are only active when the
transmission is in reverse (R). As the vehicle
moves closer to the obstacle, the rate of the
audible warning increases. When the
obstacle is less than
12 in (30 cm) away, the
warning sounds continuously. If the system
detects a stationary or receding object farther
than
12 in (30 cm) from the side of the
vehicle, the tone sounds for only three
seconds. Once the system detects an object
approaching, the warning sounds again.
153
MKS (), enUSA Parking Aids

If the transmission is in reverse (R), the front
sensing system provides audio warnings
when the vehicle is moving and the detected
obstacle is moving towards the vehicle. Once
the vehicle reaches a standstill condition, the
audio warning stops after 2 seconds.
Additionally, the system provides obstacle
distance indication through the center stack
display (if equipped). The distance indication
is present when the transmission is in reverse
(R).
•
As the distance to the obstacle decreases
(obstacle becomes closer), the indicator
blocks illuminate and move towards the
vehicle icon.
• If there is no obstacle detected, the
distance indicator blocks show greyed
out.
For automatic transmissions, if the gearshift
is in neutral (N), the system provides obstacle
distance indication through the center stack
display (if equipped). The front sensing
system provides visual warnings when the
vehicle is moving at a speed below 5 mph
(8 km/h) and an obstacle is located inside
the front or rear sensing detection areas.
Once the vehicle reaches a standstill
condition, the visual warnings stop after 4
seconds. If the gearshift is in drive (D) or any other
forward gear (for example, low (L), sport (S),
manual transmissions), the front sensing
system provides audio warnings when the
vehicle is moving and the system detects an
obstacle inside the front sensing detection
area. Once the vehicle reaches a standstill
condition, the audio warning stops after 2
seconds.
Additionally, the system provides distance
indication through the center stack display
(if equipped). The distance indication is
present if the vehicle is moving and an
obstacle is located inside the front sensing
detection area. Once the vehicle reaches a
standstill condition, the visual warnings stop
after 4 seconds, unless the detected obstacle
is less than
12 in (30 cm) away from the
bumper.
For specific information on the reverse
sensing portion of the system, refer to that
section. ACTIVE PARK ASSIST
(If Equipped) WARNING
Designed to be a supplementary park
aid, this system may not work in all
conditions. This system cannot replace
the driver ’s attention and judgment. The
driver is responsible for avoiding hazards and
maintaining a safe distance and speed, even
when the system is in use. Note:
The driver is always responsible for
controlling the vehicle, supervising the system
and intervening if required.
Note: The sensors may not detect objects in
heavy rain or other conditions that cause
disruptive reflections.
Note: The sensors may not detect objects
with surfaces that absorb ultrasonic waves.
The system detects an available parallel
parking space and automatically steers the
vehicle into the space (hands-free) while you
control the accelerator, gearshift and brakes.
The system visually and audibly instructs you
to park the vehicle.
155
MKS (), enUSA Parking Aids

The system may not function correctly if
something passes between the front bumper
and the parking space (a pedestrian or
cyclist) or if the edge of the neighboring
parked vehicle is high off the ground (for
example, a bus, tow truck or flatbed truck).
Do not use the system if:
•
You have attached a foreign object (bike
rack or trailer) to the front or rear of your
vehicle or attached close to the sensors.
• You have attached an overhanging object
(surfboard) to the roof. •
The front bumper or side sensors are
damaged or obstructed by a foreign
object (front bumper cover).
• A mini-spare tire is in use.
Using Active Park Assist Press the button located on the
right side of the center stack.
The touchscreen displays a message and a
corresponding graphic to indicate it is
searching for a parking space. Use the
direction indicator to indicate which side of
your vehicle you want the system to search.
Note:
If the direction indicator is not on, the
system automatically searches on the vehicle's
passenger side. 156
MKS (), enUSA Parking AidsE144525 A
E130107

When the system finds a suitable space, the
touchscreen displays a message and a chime
sounds. Slow down, continue moving forward
and stop when another chime sounds and a
message displays on the touchscreen (at
approximately position A), then follow the
instructions on the touchscreen.
Note:
You must observe that the selected
space remains clear of obstructions at all
times in the maneuver.
Note: Active park assist may not detect
vehicles with overhanging loads (a bus or a
truck), street furniture and other items. You
must make sure the selected space is suitable
for parking. Note:
You should drive your vehicle as parallel
to the other vehicles as possible while passing
a parking space.
Note: The system always offers the last
detected parking space (for example, if the
vehicle detects multiple spaces while you are
driving, it offers the last one).
Note: If driven above approximately 20 mph
(35 km/h), the touch screen shows a message
to alert you to reduce your vehicle speed. Automatic Steering into Parking
Space
Note:
If vehicle speed exceeds 6 mph (10
km/h), the system switches off and you need
to take full control of your vehicle.
When you shift the transmission into Reverse
(R), with your hands off the wheel (and
nothing obstructing its movement), your
vehicle steers itself into the space. Indicated
by tones, instructions to move your vehicle
back and forth in the space, display on the
touchscreen. 157
MKS (), enUSA Parking AidsE130108

When you think your vehicle has enough
space in front and behind it, or you hear a
solid tone from the parking aid (accompanied
by a touchscreen display message and a
chime), bring your vehicle to a complete stop.
When automatic steering is finished, the
touch screen displays a message and a chime
sounds, indicating that the active park assist
process is done. The driver is responsible for
checking the parking job and making any
necessary corrections before putting the
transmission in Park (P).
Deactivating the Park Assist Feature
Manually deactivate the system by:
•
Pressing the active park assist button.
• Grabbing the steering wheel.
• Driving above approximately 20 mph (35
km/h) for 30 seconds during an active
park search.
• Driving above 6 mph (10 km/h) during
automatic steering.
• Turning off the traction control system. Certain vehicle conditions can also deactivate
the system, such as:
•
Traction control has activated on a
slippery or loose surface.
• There is an anti-lock brake system
activation or failure.
• Something touches the steering wheel.
If a problem occurs with the system, a
warning message is displayed, followed by
a chime. Occasional system messages may
occur in normal operation. For recurring or
frequent system faults, contact an authorized
dealer to have your vehicle serviced.
Troubleshooting the System The system does not look for a space
The traction control system may be off
The transmission is in Reverse (R); your vehicle must be moving forward to detect a parking space The system does not offer a particular space
Something may be contacting the front bumper or side sensors
There is not enough room on both sides of your vehicle in order to park
There is not enough space for the parking maneuver on the opposite side of the parking space
