It is a safety feature of new Ford models to be programmed with a max speed of 80 MPH and max volume of 40%. This is is possibly implemented by the factory or previous renters.
Speed Limit 80 MPH (130 km/h)
On

Speed Warning Chime (Approaching Top Speed)
Chime at 55 MPH (90 km/h)
Chime at 65 MPH (105 km/h)
Chime at 75 MPH (120 km/h)
Off
Volume Limit
40%

ESP System Cannot be Disabled

- Without the admin key, you can not deactivate this (the spare key in the spare ire in the trunk may be the admin key, however).
- Only the station manager has the ability to remove the MyKey restriction.
- To see if MyKey is enabled, turn on the ignition and it will display "MyKey Active" within approximately 5 seconds
- When you enable the system, the key you are using becomes the MyKey and the other key becomes the AdminKey.
- Every feature of MyKey can be customized to your specific needs. The speed limit, however, is set by the factory at 80 MPH (130 km/h) and cannot be customized. Here are the MyKey features and your options:
Speed Limit 80 MPH (130 km/h)

Chime at 55 MPH (90 km/h)
Chime at 65 MPH (105 km/h)

So really what's the point in making me make these ridiculous posts that has zero to do with the topic at hand just so that I can post the actual vital information on my next post?
P.S. Sorry for the rant everyone but it seems dumb to me that I can't just register and be able to post content worth posting but instead have to do work just to provide content that I would've thought the owners of this forum would want people to be posting "freely" Anyways...look at the next post. Hopefully the way I have come up with to reset the MyKey system will help others do so as well and it's cheap to do so as well!
Thanks!

It's not so simple. Avoiding a dangerous situation isn't always about braking. Sometimes it is about swerving. If you swerve and there is another car there, you probably don't want to be slowing down.
