Recently bought 2019 SE Hybrid. I see that there are remote start settings on my fusion but I don’t see any option to do it on FordPass or on my key fob.
I have a 2013 Hybrid SE and it always remote starts if I press the lock button on either of the stock key fob’s 3x. I think it came as a standard feature in those years… It’s too bad they decided to remove it for the later years.
@Haru
It’s not lock, start, start? My wife’s 14’ expedition is 3 x lock too, but it’s not the newer fob style like my 13’ Fusion.

Sooo looking at other posts here, I clicked Lock-Lock-Lock and it worked and this screen popped. I’m thrilled now haha!!

552 miles ?!! Hybrid?
Yes, I used to get about 600 miles out of a tank but I don’t have time for that kind of driving lol
Love my hybrid.

Love my hybrid.
I have a 14, and I most definitely lost mileage. I get lucky with 42 mpg to work.
@Jaden
I’ve noticed in summer I lose about 8 mpg but it gets to 110 here. This time of year is where I see the best mpg.

Is it an Energi like it says? There was no 2019 Energi SE, only Titaniums. If it is an Energi PHEV, which came with a 3G modem and a different app. I assume it has the 4g TCU installed already, and that it should have lock/unlock and remote start under where it says Vehicle Parked.
If it is a Hybrid (not a PHEV) then the SE is not available with remote start from the fob, BUT it should be available via FordPass Connect (which all SE and higher vehicles get).

It says Energi but no it’s not. It’s Hybrid SE. I was able to start with FordPass App.
The fob does not seem to have the ability to remote start.

Yeah, key fob is basic, but there are remote start settings in the car, and I was wondering if FordPass app could do it.

Was coming to say the same thing. I think you might need to get it installed. If the fob doesn’t have it then the car likely isn’t equipped for it. I have a 2019 Hybrid Titanium and it was pre-installed.
I have the same car, fob doesn’t remote start but the app does for me, might have to set it up in car settings. My car has SYNC 3, might have something to do with it.
Does this work with a 2015?
You could probably buy the fob with remote start on it; on that one you hit lock once and remote start 2x.
Why would you want to remote start a hybrid? They warm up so quick.
