What happens if I cannot unlock the
vehicle with Phone as a Key?
Attempt to move your phone closer to
the vehicle. Check that the FordPass
app is still running and that the Phone
as a Key control screen shows
connected. If the phone is connected,
attempt to press the remote unlock
button in the FordPass app. If the
phone is not connected or the remote
unlock button does not work in the
FordPass app, attempt to force close
and restart the app.
Why do I get a No Key Detected
message in the instrument cluster
display when I am using Phone as a Key
and my phone is in the car? Your phone ’s Bluetooth connection
has been disrupted or is not
connected. Try reconnecting your
phone's Bluetooth connection. Move
the phone closer to the center of the
vehicle near the cup holder or center
console. Verify your Phone as a Key is
still active, enabled and has not been
revoked.
What do I do if my phone is lost,
damaged, or the battery has depleted? Use the Backup Start Passcode that
you created to protect you in the event
that you lose your phone, damage it,
or the battery depletes. See Using
the Backup Start Passcode (page
71).
How many phones can I use for Phone
as a Key? You can program and activate up to
four phones with Phone as a Key to
your vehicle. How does a valet drive my car if I only
use my Phone as a Key?
Have the valet use the temporary valet
passcode that you created when using
valet mode. See
Using the Valet
Mode (page 71).
I uninstalled my FordPass app and
reinstalled it. Why am I not able to get
a new Phone as a Key? Remove the Phone as a Key that was
previously associated with your phone
or reset Phone as a Key from your
vehicle, and then request a new Phone
as a Key. See
Programming Your
Phone (page 70).
Why can I not remotely start the vehicle
with my Phone as a Key? Using the FordPass app, verify your
Phone as a Key setup is complete and
enabled via Bluetooth connection on
at least one phone. If Bluetooth has
connected but Phone as a Key setup
is not complete, complete the setup
of your Phone as a Key, as prompted
from the FordPass app. See
Programming Your Phone
(page
70).
