Ford PH Enriches Ownership Experience with FordPass

Ford Philippines today announced that it is officially launching FordPass in the country, offering customers a richer ownership experience through a smart, one-stop platform with an array of useful features for the customers. 

FordPass is an application that customers can download on their mobile devices to access vehicle-specific content and support. With FordPass, customers whose vehicles are equipped with FordPass Connect, or a cellular modem that contains an e-SIM that enables the vehicle to connect to the internet, can access remote control functionalities such as remote start/stop, lock/unlock, and fuel level check.
