Default Speed limit!

My wife is constantly Speeding+10-15 over the speed limit on the interstate, (she is 70+ y.o), is there a setting that would limit how fast the truck would go, (for her safety) these days its just not safe.

I think with MyKey you can set a max speed limit? ---> https://www.ford.com/support/how-tos...s/mykey/mykey/

"Configurable Settings

With an admin key, you can configure other MyKey settings after you first create a MyKey and before you use either key to restart the vehicle. You can also use the admin key to change the settings after you’ve completed the initial setup.
  • You can set a vehicle speed limit. When the MyKey driver reaches the set speed, the display will show warnings, followed by an audible tone. The driver will not be able to override the set speed by fully depressing the accelerator pedal or by using cruise control.
  • You can also set various vehicle speed minders so that when the MyKey driver exceeds your preselected speed, the speed will be shown in the display followed by an audible tone.
  • The audio system can be set to a maximum volume of 45%. When the MyKey driver attempts to exceed the volume limit, a message will show in the display. The speed-sensitive or speed-compensated automatic volume control will also be disabled.
  • You can enable the always on setting for Advance Trac or traction control, 911 Assist or Emergency Assist, or the do not disturb feature, if your vehicle is equipped with these features. When always on is enabled for these features, the MyKey driver will be unable to switch them off."

I don't want it permanent, I just want her to know it can be done, lesson learned! (Plus, I don't know if my truck(very basic XL) has that feature!

What mjc011 said. I guess I am surprised that she hasn't been stopped for these transgressions! MyKey can limit many things, but if she knows that a different key will get rid of the restrictions, you are going to start all over again!

The other driver in my household has a heavy foot too. Her reward for 91+ mph was a fine. My reward was double insurance for her car.

One thing I've come to appreciate by Ricky is there is never a shortage of exclamation marks.
Definitely one excited individual.
If not that, it is multiple question marks! Oops, accidentally used an exclamation mark there

You should know better than to try and control your wife. Right or wrong, discuss your concerns. Personally I'd be more concerned more about my wife driving such a large vehicle, lol, I'm sure that comment might get me flamed .

I thought this is why they make cruise control?

MyKey is the only cruise control that would work for her.
