Yesterday I got a notification beep on my phone while driving. It was FordPass telling me the right front tire pressure was low. I didn't know it could do that.

Mine did the same a couple months back. I was picking stuff up at work and I got the notification. Sure enough I had a nail in my rear left tire. As soon as I started my truck another notification popped up on the left gauge cluster.

The low tire warning on the display was already on. And I knew the tire was low before I left. 3 lbs. But, as the the other tires heated up a differential of 9 pounds triggered the phone alert.

I had to delete my ford pass app from phone. Was killing the battery in my iphone in a matter of hours. App runs continuously in the background. Hope they fix the app before winter. Part of the reason I bought the truck I did was so I can start it from phone.

I believe there is an option for the app to only use data while in the app, at least I remember seeing that option when setting it up on my phone (android) That should help your battery issue. The app doesn't really do anything to my battery I still last all day with it.

I would recommend checking this out for using Siri for the truck.

I use it all the time, it's actually quicker to get information and execute commands. I mostly use FordPass now if I actually need to see something. Asking my Apple Watch to "start my truck " while leaving work with my hands full? Yes please. ?
