How to Remote Start a 2020 Ford Explorer
Remote starting your 2020 Ford Explorer is a convenient feature that allows you to start your vehicle’s engine from a distance, making it easier to warm up on cold days or cool down on hot ones. This guide will walk you through the steps to remote start your 2020 Ford Explorer with ease.
First, ensure that your Ford Explorer is equipped with the remote start feature. This feature is typically available on higher trim levels or as an optional add-on. If you’re unsure, consult your vehicle’s owner’s manual or contact your local Ford dealer.
Before attempting to remote start your vehicle, make sure that:
- Your Ford Explorer is parked in a safe and legal location.
- Your keys are within range of the vehicle (usually within 20 feet or less).
- Your vehicle’s battery is fully charged.
Once you’ve confirmed that your vehicle meets the requirements, follow these steps to remote start your 2020 Ford Explorer:
- Locate the remote start button on your key fob. It is typically labeled with a small engine icon or “Remote Start” text.
- Press and hold the remote start button for approximately three seconds. You should hear a confirmation chime from your vehicle, indicating that the remote start feature is activated.
- Wait for your Ford Explorer to start. The engine should turn on, and the interior lights should illuminate. The remote start feature may also activate the climate control system, depending on your vehicle’s settings.
- Once your vehicle is started, you can enter the vehicle and turn off the engine by pressing the ignition button or by using the key fob.
Keep in mind that remote starting your Ford Explorer may have certain limitations, such as the engine shutting off if the vehicle is moved or if the key fob is out of range. Additionally, some models may require a subscription to a remote start service or a dedicated remote start module to use this feature.
For any issues or questions regarding the remote start feature of your 2020 Ford Explorer, consult your vehicle’s owner’s manual or contact a certified Ford dealer for assistance.
