How to Use FordPass Remote Start
At Third Coast Auto Group, we know that the Texas heat is no joke. Whether you are parked near our North Lamar location or heading out from our I-35 dealership, stepping into a sweltering car is never ideal. That is why we want to make sure you know How to Use FordPass Remote Start to get your climate control running before you even open the door.
Getting Started with the App
To begin, ensure your vehicle is equipped with FordPass Connect and that you have downloaded the FordPass app on your smartphone. Once you have created your account and added your vehicle’s VIN, you are ready to go.
Here is the simple breakdown of How to Use FordPass Remote Start:
- Open the App: Log in and navigate to the “Vehicle” or “Home” screen.
- Press and Hold: Locate the Engine Start button (often a circular arrow icon). You must press and hold the button for a few seconds; a white line will typically circle the icon to confirm the command is being sent.
- Wait for Confirmation: Once the engine ignites, the app will display a notification and show a countdown timer for how long the engine will run (usually 5 to 15 minutes).
Pro Tips for Austin Drivers
