How do I lock and unlock my car remotely with the FordPass App?

You can unlock or lock your vehicle on the main command screen in FordPass^®* using the instructions below.

Important: 

• FordPass Remote Commands are not substitutes for having your key fob on hand. You should not leave your key fob at home or inside your vehicle.
• Your vehicle still requires the presence of a key to put it in drive (D).
• FordPass Guides do not have access to your remote commands. They are unable to unlock, lock, or control your vehicle.

Remote lock/unlock is not a standard feature for all vehicles. The following conditions must be met:

• Your vehicle must be added to FordPass.
• Your vehicle must have the FordPass^® Connect embedded modem.
• Your modem must be activated.

Locking or Unlocking Your Vehicle in FordPass

To lock or unlock your vehicle:

1. Open the FordPass App.
2. Go to the Vehicle screen. 
3. Tap the Lock or Unlock icon. 

The request will load, your vehicle status will change, and a green check mark will appear on the icon you selected. 

If you experience any issues, contact a Guide using the Account > Contact Help options in FordPass.
