Five-Point Inspection: Ford MyKey

Belt-Minder is Like Time-Out for Teens

  

2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid

Some of these features should probably be standard on any car and “Belt-Minder” is one of them.

As a faithful seatbelt user, I might have never encountered this feature. But I’m curious like a cat.

The feature is simple and effective, like pepper spray. The difference here is that this is aimed at keeping reckless drivers away from pain.

Music is muted if either of the vehicle’s front-seat occupants skips their seatbelt, and won’t return until both are secure.
