Speed to block the keyboard of the taximeter: 

this is the speed above which the keyboard of the taximeter gets locked. As soon as the speed becomes less than 

this threshold the keyboard gets unlocked again. Normally the value programmed here is a low speed like for example 10 Km/h. The speed is given in Km/h with an
