remote control FORD BRONCO SPORT 2021 Owner's Guide

Possible Cause and Resolution
Symptom
I cannot see SYNC when I
search for Wi-Fi networks on
my cell phone or other
device. –
System limitation.
•SYNC does not provide a Wi-Fi hotspot at this time.
– Weak network signal
•Move your vehicle closer to the Wi-Fi hotspot or to
a place where the network signal is not obstructed.
– Wi-Fi hotspot in high demand or has a slow Internet
connection.
•Use a more reliable Wi-Fi hotspot.
Software downloads take
too long.
–No software update available.
– Wi-Fi network requires a subscription or acceptance
of terms and conditions.
•Test the connection using another device. If the
network requires a subscription or acceptance of
terms and conditions, contact the network service
provider.
The system seems to
connect to a Wi-Fi network
and the signal strength is
excellent but the software
does not update.
Personal Profiles (If Equipped) Possible Cause and Solution
Symptom

shifted out park (P) when creating a profile.

shifted out park (P) when creating a profile.

My personalized settings do
not save. A different personal profile is active.
Another user changed the settings for the wrong personal
profile.
You did not create a personal profile.

The profile you requested is already active.
You did not link the memory button you are using to a
profile.
You did not link the remote control you are using to a
profile.

You are pressing a button other than the unlock or remote
start on a linked remote control.

My preset positions recall,
but my profile does not.
The vehicle is in motion.
My profile recalls but my
preset positions do not. The preset positions are the same as the guest or previ-
ously active profile.
Unlink and relink your remote control in the Personal
Profiles menu. You may need to see your authorized dealer.
I lost a remote control.
You erased and reprogrammed the remote controls. This
could happen if you let a dealership add a new remote
control to replace a lost one.
I lost all profiles.
Someone performed a master reset without your know-
ledge.
