Ford owners will have a new way to cut back on the shenanigans of theirteen drivers thanks to a new technology called MyKey. Debuting on the2010 Focus coupe and then quickly being expanded to other members ofFord, Lincoln, the new system allows parents to program a key that willcurtail what Ford considers to be dangerous behavior by new drivers.
To program the key, parents use the vehicle’s message center to set avariety of options including the seatbelt chime. While the traditionalseatbelt chime beeps every six seconds for the first five minutes, withMyKey the car will eventually mute the radio unless the driver bucklestheir seatbelt. The system can also limit the vehicle’s top speed to 80mph, prevent traction control from being deactivated, limit the radio'smaximum volume, and sound a chime to alert the driver when theyreach 45, 55, and 65 mph.
According to Ford a majority of parents like these new features andparents who purchase a vehicle with MyKey would be more inclined to lettheir children drive.作者: my-bid 時間: 2008-10-11 12:36 PM
