Ford Philippines Managing Director Michael Breen announced during the company’s 25th-anniversary celebration the launch of FordPass Connect – a smart, one-stop platform with an array of useful features for a richer ownership experience for customers.
“FordPass will drive the future of the Ford ownership experience, and we’re very excited to finally be able to launch it in the Philippines to benefit our customers who are technologically savvy and always on the go,” said Breen. “With FordPass, it’s like having a personal assistant for your Ford vehicle. We leverage on connectivity to offer our customers a smarter and simpler way of owning a Ford.”
FordPass is an application that customers can download on their mobile devices to access vehicle-specific content and support. With FordPass, customers whose vehicles are equipped with FordPass Connect, or a cellular modem that contains an e-SIM that enables the vehicle to connect to the internet can access remote control functionalities such as remote start/stop, lock/unlock, fuel level check, and even find their vehicles in crowded car parks through a vehicle locator feature.
The following features will be available through FordPass:
- Remote Door Lock & Unlock – Lock and unlock doors without being near your vehicle.
- Remote Vehicle Start & Stop – Remotely start and stop your engine virtually from anywhere and cool the cabin with the last known setting of your vehicle’s climate control.
- Vehicle Locator – Forgot your parking spot? Finding your ride is now easier with this FordPass feature.
- Vehicle Status – You can check how much fuel you have as well as your odometer reading without having to hop inside your car.
- Access to Guides – A team of experts are available via phone call or e-mail to answer any app-related questions.
