Today’s drivers want more than just horsepower and good gas mileage. They want to stay connected, safe, and in control behind the wheel. That’s why Ford Connected Services are such a big deal. Whether commuting to work, running errands around Jacksonville, Arkansas, or taking a road trip across the state, Ford makes staying in touch and on track easier.
At Crain Ford of Jacksonville, we want to help you understand how Ford Connected Services work and how they can improve your everyday drive.
What Are Ford Connected Services?
Ford Connected Services are innovative features that use the power of the internet and your smartphone to enhance your driving experience. These tools connect your Ford vehicle, FordPass app, and digital life.
This allows you to:
- Start or stop the engine remotely
- Lock or unlock your doors
- Check your fuel level and tire pressure
- Schedule maintenance reminders
- Get real-time traffic updates
- Use Wi-Fi for up to 10 devices
These features help keep you in control, even when you’re not behind the wheel.
FordPass App: Your Vehicle’s Remote Control
The FordPass app is free to download and works with most new Ford vehicles. Once your car is linked to the app, you’ll have remote access to several features from your smartphone.
Imagine being able to warm up your 2025 Ford F-150 before leaving your house in the morning, or unlocking your Ford Escape for a family member while you’re still inside the store. With the FordPass app, it’s all possible.
Jacksonville drivers love the convenience of managing their vehicle from anywhere in town or even while traveling through Cabot, Sherwood, or Little Rock.
Stay Safe with Real-Time Vehicle Health Alerts
Ford Connected Services don’t just make your life easier—they help you stay safe. If your vehicle detects a problem like low oil, battery issues, or tire pressure warnings, it sends you a Vehicle Health Alert through the app.
This way, you can stay on top of problems before they become expensive repairs. You can also use the app to schedule service at Crain Ford of Jacksonville, saving time and keeping your car running smoothly.
In-Vehicle Wi-Fi: Stay Connected on the Go
With FordPass Connect, your vehicle becomes a mobile hotspot. You can connect up to 10 devices and enjoy Wi-Fi wherever you go, whether parked at a Jacksonville park or heading out for a weekend trip.
This is a great feature for families, remote workers, or anyone who needs internet access on the road. Stream music, check email, or let the kids watch a show all from your Ford.
Navigation and Live Traffic
Need help finding your way around Pulaski County or through busy Little Rock traffic? With available navigation and real-time traffic updates, Ford Connected Services can help you reach your destination faster and with fewer headaches.
The system can even reroute you around traffic jams, accidents, or road closures.
