MyVans Your Vehicle Solution Remote start is a feature that allows you to start your car’s engine from a distance, using a remote control. This feature is available on many modern cars, including the Ford Escape. If you own a Ford Escape and want to learn how to use the remote start feature, this article is for you.
Step 1: Make Sure Remote Start is Installed
The first step in using remote start on your Ford Escape is to make sure the feature is installed on your vehicle. If you bought your car new, it should come with the remote start feature already installed. However, if you bought a used car or didn’t opt for the remote start feature when you purchased your car, you’ll need to install it yourself or have it installed by a professional.
Step 2: Activate the Remote Start Feature
Once you’ve confirmed that your Ford Escape has the remote start feature, the next step is to activate it. To do this, press the lock button on your remote control, then press and hold the start button for about two seconds. The engine should start up, and the car will remain locked.
Step 3: Turn Off the Engine Using Remote Start
If you want to turn off the engine using remote start, simply press and hold the start button again for about two seconds. The engine will shut off, and the car will remain locked.
Step 4: Use the Remote Start Timer
Many Ford Escapes come with a remote start timer that allows you to set the engine to start at a specific time. To use the remote start timer, press the lock button on your remote control, then press and hold the start button for about two seconds. As soon as the engine starts, press the start button again within three seconds, then press it a third time within another three seconds. The car’s horn will sound twice, indicating that the timer has been set. You can then set the timer for a specific time by following the instructions in your car’s user manual.
Step 5: Troubleshooting Remote Start
If you’re having trouble using the remote start feature on your Ford Escape, there are a few things you can try. First, make sure the remote control is within range of the car. If you’re too far away, the remote start feature won’t work. Additionally, make sure the car’s battery is charged, as a low battery can prevent the remote start feature from working. Finally, if none of these solutions work, you may need to have the remote start feature checked by a professional.
