FORD POWER-UP SOFTWARE UPDATES

FOR A FUTURE-PROOF DRIVE

Thanks to Ford Power-Up software updates , your SYNC 3 or 4 equipped vehicle is constantly evolving. Just like your smartphone, automatic Ford software updates download in the background. So your Ford is always up-to-date and performing at peak performance.

SYNC 3

Software updates are available for all new Ford vehicles equipped with FordPass Connect. Cloud-connected technology allows you to update firmware in the background and fix bugs for SYNC 3, as well as install completely new features. 

SYNC 4

Next-generation Ford cars with SYNC 4 and all-electric cars with SYNC 4A offer greater connectivity and more powerful upgrades. Using over-the-air technology , Ford Power-Up software updates optimize SYNC software and improve your car's performance, comfort and capabilities.

USING FORD POWER-UP WITH SYNC 4

Change your update preferences using your car's touchscreen. You can accept automatic updates, turn them off (they will still be downloaded but not installed until you approve them), or schedule regular updates for specific features. 

AUTOMATIC UPDATES

SYNC 4 automatically downloads Ford Power-Up software updates and installs them when the car is turned off. The update is completed the next time you start the car. Once installation is complete, you will receive a notification on the FordPass app and on your car's touchscreen.

PLANNED UPDATES

Some Ford Power-Up software updates need to be planned in advance, as the car needs to be powered off to install them. SYNC 4 will notify you when these updates are available and ask you to choose an installation time. Once installation is complete, you will receive a notification on the FordPass app and on your car's touchscreen.

ELECTRIC VEHICLES

The range of all-electric vehicles is maximized by intelligent technologies such as the Mustang Mach-E 's intuitive One Pedal Drive System for a smooth, effortless ride. In addition, three selectable driving modes allow you to fine-tune the vehicle's performance settings, allowing you to prioritize between powerful performance and optimum range.

PLUG-IN HYBRID VEHICLES

Selectable electric vehicle (EV) drive modes optimize the range and battery life of the plug- in hybrid vehicle  by putting you in control. By selecting the EV Auto mode, the vehicle will seamlessly switch between the electric and petrol engines depending on the driving conditions. Or, to maximize efficiency and access restricted traffic zones, it is possible to manually switch between all-electric and petrol-powered driving.
