MyKey®

Ford MyKey technology lets you program individual keys so that two members of a household can share a car, yet have personalized settings take effect when they use their unique keys. MyKey lets you designate a key to operate unique features, such as restricting the vehicle’s top speed to 105, 113, 121 or 135 km/h and limiting the entertainment system’s audio to under 45% of maximum volume.

It also provides a warning when the fuel tank reaches 120 kilometres to empty, allows owners to select speed alert chimes at 75, 90 or 105 km/h, and sets the Belt-Minder® to chime, while muting the audio system, until the safety belt is buckled.
