    1.3 Who is the telecommunications carrier?
    In simple terms, when you select a command, for example Start, the FordPass App sends a signal via a telecommunications carrier to Ford’s cloud located in the USA, where, after validation, it is sent back down to the FordPass Connect modem in your vehicle and the command is carried out. Your vehicle then sends a signal to confirm it has carried out the ’start’ command via the telecommunications carrier to Ford’s cloud, where it is then on-sent to your FordPass App on your mobile device.

    If your vehicle’s FordPass Connect modem or your FordPass App cannot connect to the telecommunications network (for example, due to poor signal strength or data service interruptions), the Connected Services cannot operate.

    1.5 How do I know if my vehicle is connected?
    1.6.1 Full modem activation (also referred to as ‘fully activated’ and will be available when FordPass application launched):

    In a vehicle fitted with a FordPass Connect modem, you will see an icon displayed on the in-vehicle SYNC screen which appears as:

    1.6.2 Partial modem activation (also referred to as ‘partially activated’):
    • You can leave your FordPass Connect modem as is, that is partially activated, and the vehicle will continue to send diagnostic and maintenance data as described above. This state will continue unless you actively turn off ‘Vehicle Connectivity’ via your in-vehicle SYNC system in your car.
    1.6.3 Modem de-activation:
    • You can turn off ‘Vehicle Connectivity’ via your in-vehicle SYNC system in your Ford and therefore, the sending of data from your vehicle’s modem will cease. A more detailed description of how to de-activate your modem through a reset is given below.
    When you take delivery, you and your dealer can work together to ensure that your vehicle connectivity settings are customised to your preferences.
