Ford Technology That Makes Life Easier in Winter

As winter approaches, Ford’s Connected Services and the FordPass® app offer a suite of features designed to enhance comfort, safety, and convenience for  drivers facing cold, snowy, or icy conditions. Here’s an overview of what you can do with these tools to make your winter driving experience more enjoyable.

Remote Start and Climate Control

With the FordPass app, you can remotely start your vehicle, allowing the engine and cabin to warm up before you step outside. This feature is particularly beneficial during frigid mornings, ensuring a comfortable interior temperature upon entry. Additionally, you can schedule remote starts at specific times, so your vehicle is ready when you are.

Remote Lock and Unlock

Forgot to lock your car? The FordPass app enables you to lock or unlock your vehicle remotely, providing peace of mind and added security. This is especially useful during winter when you may want to avoid unnecessary trips outside.

Vehicle Location Tracking

In snowy conditions, it’s easy to lose track of where you’ve parked. The app’s vehicle locator feature helps you find your car in crowded or snow-covered parking areas, saving time and reducing frustration.

Vehicle Status Monitoring

Stay informed about your vehicle’s health with real-time updates on fuel levels, oil life, tire pressure, and more. Monitoring these parameters is crucial during winter months to prevent breakdowns and ensure optimal performance.

In case of emergencies, the FordPass app provides access to 24/7 Roadside Assistance. Whether you need a tow, jump-start, or help with a flat tire, assistance is just a tap away, offering reassurance during winter travels.

Navigation and Live Traffic Updates

Navigate winter roads confidently with the app’s built-in navigation system, offering real-time traffic updates and alternative route suggestions to avoid delays caused by weather-related incidents.

FordPass Rewards

Earn points for activities like service visits and vehicle purchases, which can be redeemed for discounts on future services or new vehicle purchases. This program adds value to your ownership experience, especially when preparing your vehicle for winter.

Wi-Fi Hotspot

Stay connected on the go with the in-vehicle Wi-Fi hotspot, supporting up to 10 devices. This feature is ideal for long winter trips, keeping passengers entertained and connected.

FordPass Connect Modem Activation

To access these features, ensure your vehicle is equipped with FordPass Connect and that the modem is activated. This setup allows seamless communication between your vehicle and the FordPass app, unlocking the full potential of Ford’s Connected Services.

By leveraging the FordPass app and Connected Services, you can enhance your winter driving experience, ensuring comfort, safety, and convenience throughout the colder months.
