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 161).
2. Switch the ignition on.
3. Access the main menu on the
information display controls, and
select

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

Right Information Display
Efficiency Leaves
Efficiency leaves indicate short term
driving efficiency. The more leaves
and vines that are displayed, the
better your fuel economy. Leaves and
vines will occasionally appear and
disappear to indicate a change in
driving efficiency.
Note:
The efficiency leaves display can
be impacted by your use of brakes,
accelerator and accessories, as well as
environmental conditions such as hills
and weather.
Flowers
Flowers appear on the efficiency
leaves screen in addition to the leaves
and vines. The flowers indicate long
term driving efficiency. The more
flowers that are displayed, the more
efficiently you have driven. Once
earned, the flowers will remain unless
reset. The flowers, along with the
vehicle's lifetime fuel economy, can
be reset through the information
display. See General Information
(page 103).
Common Displays
Note: Battery gauge information can
be individually selected on or off
through Battery Display in the Options
sub-menu. From any main display a
right arrow press on the steering wheel
controls will take you to the options
sub-menu. Battery Gauge:
The high-voltage battery gauge
appears on the right side of the left
information display screen. This
provides Charge Fill (State of Charge),
Charge Assist and Regen Display.
Charge Fill (Hybrid Mode)
The fill level, or State of Charge
indicates the amount of energy stored
in the high-voltage battery as a
percent of total energy capacity. The
level will increase or decrease as the
battery charges and discharges during
normal operation, but the hybrid
system will attempt to control the
level to approximately the middle of
the gauge under most driving
conditions.
Charge Assist
The up and down arrows provide
information about the energy going
into and out of the high-voltage
battery. The up arrow above the
battery indicates battery charging
such as from regenerative braking.
The down arrow below the battery
indicates battery discharging to
provide power for propulsion or
vehicle accessories.
Regen Display
A circular arrow symbol appears in the
center of the Battery Gauge when
energy is being recaptured through
the regenerative braking system.

Note:
Since engine speed is controlled
by the transmission, it may seem
elevated at times. This is normal hybrid
operation and helps deliver fuel
efficiency and performance.
Neutral: It is not recommended to
idle the vehicle in position N for an
extended period of time because this
will discharge your high voltage
battery and decrease fuel economy.
The engine will not start, and cannot
provide power to the hybrid system in
position
N.
Low Gear:
Low gear (position L) is
designed to mimic the enhanced
engine braking available in non-hybrid
vehicles. Low gear will produce high
engine speeds to provide necessary
engine braking. This is normal and will
not damage your vehicle. In low gear,
the gas engine will remain on more
often than in position
D.
Unique Hybrid Operating
Characteristics
Your vehicle behaves differently
compared to a non-hybrid. Here is a
description of the major differences:
Battery: Your Hybrid is equipped with
a high voltage battery. A cool battery
ensures battery life and provides the
best possible performance. Your
hybrid high voltage battery may
periodically re-condition itself to
ensure maximum efficiency. You may
notice slight changes in driveability
during this process, but it is an
important part of your hybrid's high
voltage battery optimization features. Cabin air cools the high voltage
battery by pulling air through vents in
the rear package tray. Avoid placing
objects on the package tray which
could block air flow through the vents.
If you leave your vehicle inoperative
for over 31 days, it may be necessary
to jumpstart the vehicle. See
Roadside Emergencies
(page 250).
Engine:
The engine speed in your
hybrid is not directly tied to your
vehicle speed. Your vehicle's engine
and transmission are designed to
deliver the power you need at the
most efficient engine speed. During
heavy accelerations, your hybrid may
reach high engine speeds (up to 6000
RPM).
In prolonged mountainous driving, you
may see the engine tachometer
changing without your input. This is
intentional and maintains the battery
charge level. You may also notice
during extended downhill driving that
your engine continues to run instead
of shutting off.
During this engine braking, the engine
stays on, but it is not using any fuel.
You may also hear a slight whine or
whistle when operating your vehicle.
This is the normal operation of the
electric generator in the hybrid
system.

Answer
Question
In order to ensure that the climate
control system can begin heating the cabin or defrosting the windshield as
soon as a driver requests it, the engine coolant temperature has to be kept
sufficiently hot. Keeping the engine on is required to maintain the correct minimum temperature.
Why does my engine stay on when it
is extremely cold outside?
Your vehicle's engine and transmissionare designed to deliver the power you need at the most efficient enginespeed. This may be higher than
expected during heavy accelerations,
and may fluctuate during steady state driving. These are characteristics ofthe Atkinson engine cycle and the
transmission technology that help
maximize your hybrid's fuel economy.
Why does my engine rev up so high
sometimes when I accelerate?
The fan noise comes from a fan
located outside the high voltage
battery. This fan turns on when the
battery requires cooling air. The fan
speed, and associated noise level, will change according to the amount of
What is the fan noise I hear from the
rear of my hybrid?
cooling required to maintain good
performance. Maintaining the battery temperature at optimal conditionsalso prolongs the useful life of the
battery and helps to achieve better fuel economy.
Running out of gas is not recom-
mended. However, you may be able to go about one mile, driving at 30 mph
(48 km/h), if the battery has a normal state of charge.
How far can I go in Electric Drive if I run
out of gas?

Changing the Set Speed
•
Accelerate or brake to the desired
speed, then press and release
SET+.
• Press and hold SET+ or SET- until
the desired set speed shows on the
information display. The vehicle
speed will gradually change to the
selected speed.
• Press and release
SET+ or SET-.
The set speed will change in
approximately 1 mph (2 km/h)
increments.
The system may apply the brakes to
slow the vehicle to the new set speed.
The set speed will display
continuously in the information
display while the system is active.
Resuming the Set Speed
Note: Only use resume if you are
aware of the set speed and intend to
return to it.
Press and release
RES. The vehicle
will return to the previously set speed.
The set speed will display
continuously in the information
display while the system is active.
Low Speed Automatic
Cancellation
The system is not functional at vehicle
speeds below 12 mph (20 km/h). An
audible alarm will sound and the
automatic braking releases if the
vehicle drops below this speed. Hilly Condition Usage
Note:
An audible alarm will sound and
the system will shut down if it is
applying brakes for an extended period
of time. This allows the brakes to cool
down. The system will function
normally again when the brakes have
cooled down.
You should select a lower gear
position when the system is active in
situations such as prolonged downhill
driving on steep grades, for example
in mountainous areas. The system
needs additional engine braking in
these situations to reduce the load on
the vehicle ’s regular brake system to
prevent them from overheating.
Switching the System Off
Note: The set speed memory erases
when you switch off the system.
Press and release
OFF or turn off the
ignition.
Detection Issues
The radar sensor has a limited field of
vision. It may not detect vehicles at all
or detect a vehicle later than expected
in some situations. The lead vehicle
graphic will not illuminate if the
system does not detect a vehicle in
front of you.
