What is MyKey in Ford Vehicles?

So what is Ford MyKey, exactly? This modern safety system allows you to program your Ford keys with certain limitations, such as setting a maximum speed. Let’s dig deeper into what MyKey in our Ford models does to determine if it’s ideal for your Naperville drives below: 

 

  • Speed Limit: If you opt for setting a top speed for your teenage driver, ensure it’s fast enough for them to follow all local speed limits in the area. When they attempt to exceed the top speed you set, they’ll hear a warning and see one on the dashboard.
  • Audio Volume Limit: You may love to rock out on your drives around Montgomery, but research suggests that loud music can be a dangerous distraction for young drivers. This feature lets you apply volume limits up to a maximum audio volume of 45%. A warning message will also show on the dash if they try to exceed the set limit.
  • Enable Features: Ford MyKey lets you keep safety features like “911 Assist” or “Do Not Disturb” from being turned off by your teenage driver.

Ford MyKey Features: Default Settings 

Now that you know more about the MyKey feature in our Ford models, you should learn about some of the features you can’t change. Here are some of the default settings in your vehicle that you cannot alter: 

 

  • Seatbelt Reminder: The audio system will stay muted, and the seatbelt light reminder will stay on until all passengers are buckled up for safety. 
  • Radio Restrictions: Adult content restrictions will stay on for any Ford vehicles that include satellite radio.
  • Driver-Assist Features: If your Ford includes driver-assist features, like a Blind Spot Information System, these crucial safety features will stay engaged permanently. 
  • Low Fuel Level Warning: You’ll still receive an early warning about low fuel levels.
