Now Ford is making child-safety even easier for parents! Today, with the Ford Mykey system they target 3 very important safety issues: Speed, Seat Belts, and Stereo Volume.

Limit Speed with Ford Mykey

Ford Mykey can limit the top speed of your teen’s car to 80mph. Some might feel this isn’t limiting enough, but Ford had two reasons for that number. First, some highway speedlimits in the country exceed 70mph, even 75mph. And secondly they wanted to give leeway for extenuating circumstances.

St Louis Ford dealer Reuther Ford is showing parents they can set a chime to warn a driver exceeding a speed of their own choosing (for example, 45, 55, or 65mph).  

Ford Mykey Seat Belt Safety

If you want to be sure your driver and their passengers are wearing their seat belts, the Mykey system will sound a six-second chime every minute if seat belts are not fastened. This provides peace of mind for both you and the parents of your teen’s passengers.

Mykey Volume Controls

Protect the delicate membranes of your vehicle’s speakers… just kidding – I mean your teen driver’s ears! Parents have the option of what volume would be considered dangerous.

Ford’s research shows that parents would be more likely to let teens use their vehicles with the Ford Mykey system, and if it gets them the car more often, the number of teens objecting drops considerably.

If you would like to see the Ford Mykey system in the St Louis Ford dealer or Jefferson County Ford dealer area, head by Reuther Ford to see it debut in the 2010 Ford Focus late this summer!

Q: ”Payment protection is great but what about those of us that bought a vehicle before this. i have lost my job and now i am going to lose my 2008 truck. what about me? i bought believing in ford now i’m left out.” – ArnoldFordCust

Arg! We are sorry to hear about your situation ArnoldFordCust. When we hear stories like this we realize exactly why Ford acted to establish a program like the Ford Advantage Plan.

However while we can’t promise anything you should bring the 2008 truck in and we can look at our options. Perhaps we can get you into a lesser value preowned vehicle (our st louis and jefferson county lots have a good selection right now). That could allow you to both cut bills and save your credit. 

Those wanting the exact details should read our overview at the Ford Advantage Payment Protection Plan Plus 0% Financing article.

Comments will be answered and as such cataloged for future users! Thanks.
