Ford Power-Up software updates uses
over-the-air technology to deliver the
latest features, software enhancements
and quality improvements to your vehicle.
When Automatic Updates is turned on
updates are downloaded in the
background while you are driving.
Some updates require your vehicle to be
parked. You can set a recurring schedule
when your vehicle is not in use (like
overnight). Scheduled updates usually
take up to 45 minutes and some updates
can take longer than that. Check your
center display screen or the Ford Pass app
for the most accurate estimated update
time.
Software updates are delivered wirelessly
using the vehicle modem or Wi-Fi. To make
sure of the most seamless experience See
Connecting the Vehicle to a Wi-Fi
Network (page 446).
