Why does my Ford vehicle enter Deep Sleep mode?

Deep Sleep mode is designed to conserve battery power on your vehicle. This setting is activated when your vehicle falls under the following conditions:

  • Vehicle inactivity for 14 consecutive days
  • Battery voltage drops below 9.5 volts
  • Extreme cold/hot weather conditions

How to Turn Off Deep Sleep Mode

To turn off Deep Sleep Mode, turn on your vehicle manually using the push-button start or your key. It may take 20-30 seconds for your modem to reconnect with the FordPass®* App.

Note: If you are unable to start your vehicle, contact Roadside Assistance.


*FordPass App is compatible with select smartphone platforms and available via download. Data rates may apply.
