Explaining the New Ford EcoSport MyKey System
Everyone probably knows all about pretty much everything we listed above. However, one of the new Ford EcoSport features you might now know about is the new Ford MyKey feature. This safety feature is specifically designed to help new drivers stay safe while driving by assisting them in learning responsible driving habits. It does this by allowing you to set specific parameters your new driver must follow while operating your 2018 EcoSport. This includes safety belt usage, audio volume settings, speed limits and more.
