What is the Ford MyKey feature? Your Ford MyKey system includes a wide range of safety features designed to keep new drivers alert on the road. From speed limits to stereo system limits, you can adjust settings with just a few clicks – ensuring that all drivers follow the safest rules of the road. Here are some of the features you’ll find on Ford MyKey.

• Audio Volume Limit: You can set a maximum audio volume of 45% on the stereo system, so your driver will have a better sense of their surroundings. If they try to exceed this limit, they’ll see a message displayed on the dashboard.
• Speed Limit: Choose a top speed to prevent speeding on the Hazlet roads. If they try to push the limit, they’ll get both audio and visual warnings as a reminder.
• Enable Features: Automatically enable safety features like 911 assist or Do Not Disturb, and other drivers won’t be able to turn them off.
  Seatbelt Reminder: Until your driver and front passenger click into their seatbelt, the audio system will remain muted and the seatbelt light reminder will stay on.
• Driver-Assist Features: You can activate Ford driver-assist features, such as Blind Spot Information System, and they will stay on permanently unless you change the settings. 
• Low Fuel Level Warning: Drivers will receive low fuel levels earlier than usual to give ample time for fuel ups.
  Radio Restrictions: Adult content restrictions will stay on for vehicles with satellite radio.
