The 2017 Ford Escape is set to roll into dealerships this May, and along with it, available FordPass® with SYNC® Connect is scheduled to debut. The system will debut with the 2017 Escape, followed later this year by the new Ford Fusion, with the system eventually migrating to the entire Ford lineup. The 2017 Escape is also the only Ford vehicle to offer SYNC® 3 with support for both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, making it one of the most connected vehicles Ford has ever produced.
The innovative FordPass® with SYNC® Connect allows drivers to lock, unlock, and remote-start their vehicles from a smartphone-installed app. The app uses a two-step verification process to protect your personal information, as well as to safeguard against would-be hackers or car thieves. The app will also enable drivers to check the vehicle’s fuel level, so you can better plan for the day ahead.
The 2017 Escape will bring even more available driver-assist technology to the game, like available adaptive cruise control, collision warning with brake support, enhanced active park assist, and a lane-keeping system, to name a few. These great systems work to make you a safer, more alert driver.
“SYNC Connect provides the convenience customers want. It was designed with the customer as the focus – everything the technology does is intended to improve the vehicle-owning experience.” –Don Butler, executive director, Ford Connected Vehicle and Services.
