Does Your Vehicle Have Remote Start?
To begin the remote start process, first make sure your Ford vehicle is equipped with a remote-operated starter. Check your key fob if you aren’t sure. If you see a remote-start button shaped like a curved arrow, then you have remote start capabilities. If you don’t have remote start capabilities, you can easily add it to your vehicle with the Ford Technology Package.

To begin, you’ll need to make sure you first press the lock button to lock your car before it starts your engine for safety and security purposes. You will not be able to remote start your vehicle until it has been locked beforehand. Then, press the remote start button twice. Steps must be done within 3 seconds.
