How do I remotely start my vehicle using FordPass®?
Before using remote start with FordPass, you must first:
- Have a FordPass Connect™ equipped vehicle.
- Add the vehicle to FordPass.
- Activate its FordPass Connect modem.
- Have a minimum battery charge of 40%.
- On FordPass, navigate to Home. If multiple vehicles are added to the app, select the vehicle you wish to start from the drop-down list.
- Press and hold on the Start button.
The vehicle will run for five, ten, or fifteen minutes, depending on the in-vehicle remote start settings.
Notes:
- Remote start is unavailable on manual transmission vehicles.
- To use remote start, the vehicle must be in Park and the bonnet must be closed.
- FordPass Connect vehicles require the vehicle key/fob in order to be driven. A remotely started vehicle cannot be driven without it.
