DETROIT (AP) -- Ford Motor Company will have a feature on many of its 2010 models that's sure to cause grumbling among many teenagers.

It will let parents program the teenager's car key so they can drive no faster than 80 miles per hour. And the system can be made to chime if the teenager exceeds 45, 55, or 65 miles per hour.

Ford says the feature, called "MyKey," can also limit the volume of the audio system, and sound a six-second chime every minute if seat belts aren't fastened.

"MyKey" will be standard on an unspecified number of 2010 Ford models, spreading to the entire lineup as models are updated.

Ford says its market research shows 75 percent of parents like the speed and audio limits, and 67 percent of teens don't.
