MAKE THE POINT:
Remote Start System Range
When discussing the Remote Start System with
the customer, be sure to explain there are many
factors that influence performance and range.
Some examples include: structures around where
the vehicle is parked, extreme weather conditions,
vehicles parked nearby, or even the house or
building the customer is in when using their
Remote Start System.
MAKE THE POINT:
Remote Start System and MyKey
As an added security feature to help prevent vehicle
theft, vehicles that are started with a
Remote Start
System
(either a factory-installed or a Genuine Ford
Accessory) may shut
off
the engine when a door or
trunk/liftgate is opened or unlocked. This is normal
system operation and associated MyKey features
and functionality will resume when the vehicle
is restarted. Refer to the vehicle owner guide or
documentation for additional information.
