Introducing another breakthrough in its efforts the help keep teen drivers safe—and provide their parents with increased peace of mind—the Ford Motor Company recently announced significant upgrades to its exclusive MyKey technology. The original MyKey system was first launched in 2009 and allowed owners to limit vehicle speeds to 80 mph via an easy-to-program key system. The new technology, set to premiere on the 2011 Ford Taurus and Ford, will allow parents to:
- Block explicit satellite radio content—an industry first
- Choose between four different top vehicle speeds—65 mph, 70 mph, 75 mph or 80 mph
- Help encourage kids to stay buckled up by muting the audio system until the front seatbelts are engaged
- Limit the audio system’s volume levels to 44 percent of its maximum
- Prevent safety systems like traction control and blind-spot alert from being deactivated
- Set an earlier “low-fuel” warning that comes on when the vehicle’s range reach 75 miles
