WHAT IS A CONNECTED
VEHICLE

A connected vehicle has technology that
allows your vehicle to connect to a mobile
network and for you to access a range of
features. When used in conjunction with
the FordPass app, it could allow you to
monitor and control your vehicle further,
for example checking the tire pressures,
the fuel level and the vehicle location. For
additional information, refer to the local
Ford website.

CONNECTED VEHICLE
REQUIREMENTS

Connected service and related feature
functionality requires a compatible vehicle
network.

Some remote features require additional
service activation. Log in to your Ford
account for details. Some restrictions, third
party terms and message or data rates
may apply.

CONNECTED VEHICLE
LIMITATIONS

Evolving technology, cellular networks, or
regulations could affect functionality and
availability, or continued provision of some
features. These changes could even stop
some features from functioning.
