Ford Owner's Guide

Getting to Know Your Ford

Your owner's manual is the best place to start, covering everything from warning light meanings to recommended maintenance intervals. It's available as a digital copy directly from Ford, so you don't have to dig through the glovebox every time you have a question. The manual can help you navigate your Ford's various technologies, including the infotainment system and advanced safety features, so you can make the most of them throughout your ownership.

If your Ford is equipped with SYNC®, take some time to explore what your version offers, since capabilities can range from basic Bluetooth® pairing to full smartphone integration, voice commands, and navigation. Newer versions also support Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, giving you access to your phone's apps, maps, and messages right on the vehicle's display, while some models add Wi-Fi hotspot capability for passengers on longer drives. Since SYNC® has evolved quite a bit across model years, it's worth spending a few minutes getting familiar with your specific version, or stopping by so our team can walk you through the features unique to your Ford.

The Ford app is another tool worth setting up, giving you remote access to features like vehicle status alerts, scheduled maintenance reminders, and Ford Rewards points that add up toward future service visits or accessories. Depending on your model, it may also let you remotely lock or unlock your doors, check your fuel or charge level, monitor tire pressure, or start your vehicle before you head out the door. It only takes a few minutes to link the app to your Ford, and once it's set up, it becomes one of the easiest ways to stay on top of your vehicle's health without having to think about it.
