Starting Your Ford Vehicle

  • Press the remote start button twice
  • Exterior lamps will flash twice
  • Horn will sound if the command failed

Turning the Vehicle Off 

  • After remote starting, press your button once

If your Ford vehicle is equipped with the Memory Feature, you can utilize it to adjust your mirror, seating, and steering column positions when remote start is activated. However, the positions must be pre-set.

  • Start and stop remotely
  • Lock and unlock remotely
  • Schedule a start
  • Check fluid and gas levels
