New MyKey system is standard in the 2010 Taurus

[The G Man]

"Ford Motor Co. is trying to give parents of teen drivers some peace of mind - or at least a sense of control.

The Detroit-based automaker has introduced MyKey, a feature which allows parents to program their car’s top speed, limit the radio’s volume and shut off the music if the seatbelt is unbuckled.

With a few presses of a button on the dashboard, parents can limit their teen driver’s top speed to 80 miles per hour, set the sound system not to exceed 44 percent of its total volume and even regulate seatbelt usage with a chirping monitor. MyKey is standard in the 2010 Taurus and Focus models and is expected to be introduced soon to other Ford lines."
