Welcome to FordPass, a smarter way to move! FordPass is a new platform that will empower you to rethink the way you travel. Through a collection of current features, and features coming soon, FordPass will provide you with more mobility options so you can go further than you thought possible.
Ford is working to continually improve and expand the FordPass features and functionality for our customers. These Terms describe features currently available as well as features we expect to add in the future. The Terms apply to all of the features described below, but you can check the FordPass website and mobile app to see which ones are currently available. Some features of FordPass may only be available on the App or the Site. FordPass may also integrate with other services or devices, and these features may be subject to separate or supplemental terms or privacy practices – these will be presented to you in connection with that feature. Check back often as we add new features to understand what FordPass can do for you!
Before we get started, we want you to know how FordPass works and we need you to click “Accept” to accept our Terms. Please review carefully.
A few important points:
You can use the Table of Contents below to easily move through these Terms:

These Terms do not alter in any way the terms of any other agreement you may have with us. If you want to retain a copy of these Terms, please visit this link and save or print them.

Various features of FordPass (including My Dealer) allow you to connect with your dealer, including to schedule services, locate dealers, get directions to your dealer, and view new dealer inventory. By using the locator services you will be subject to the terms provided by the location or mapping service that you use.
All service appointments and vehicle services are the responsibility of you and your dealer. Dealers are separate legal entities, independent from us, and we are not responsible or liable for dealers’ activities, including any services you receive from your dealer or the content of dealer websites.
You may also be able to view new inventory at your preferred dealer. The inventory listed on FordPass may not be current with the exact inventory available with your dealer. Contact your dealer for the actual price and availability of any vehicle and any applicable terms and conditions that may apply.
The My Vehicle feature may allow you to access certain information related to your vehicle via FordPass. In order to register your car with the My Vehicle feature, you will need to input your VIN number. By registering your vehicle with My Vehicle you expressly opt-in to receiving notifications, including email, as well as other communications from us related to the My Vehicle feature. If you wish to opt-out of these communications, please contact Ford Guides through FordPass or stop using the My Vehicle feature by changing your preferences in the settings menu of FordPass. You must be an authorized user of a vehicle in order to link your FordPass account to the VIN of a vehicle you do not own or lease, which may have to be approved by a primary account holder and authenticated in the vehicle. You may remove your VIN from FordPass at any time, however removal of the VIN may affect certain FordPass features.
If equipped, the vehicle status feature may allow you to view certain notifications on FordPass, regarding Vehicle Health Alerts. These alerts may include electric battery health, fuel level, fuel consumption, odometer, tire pressure, VIN number, and other diagnostic information. These notifications should not be used or relied upon in place of normal vehicle maintenance. If at any time you believe there may be an issue or problem with your vehicle, consult with a professional for diagnosis and required maintenance.
If your vehicle has Wi-Fi hotspot functionality and you have activated a data plan, you can view information about your data plan through FordPass. You must sign up for wireless service directly with your vehicle’s wireless provider, and your provider is solely responsible for the wireless service, subject to separate terms and conditions you agree to when you activate your service, and for the data about your plan available through FordPass.

We may use third parties to provide these services. We do not, however, sell parking, provide a parking service, operate a parking lot, or otherwise accept custody of motor vehicles. These services are provided by others, such as parking facility owners or operators, and they are in no way our agent or acting on our behalf.

Please use your best judgment when deciding on a parking facility or location and do not park at a facility or location that you do not feel is safe and secure.
We do not represent or warrant the quality, suitability, safety, or security of any parking, and we disclaim all liability arising from any lack of quality, suitability, safety, or security of any parking or otherwise related to your use of parking and parking facilities and locations (including, without limitation, liability regarding the safety or security of persons or property in parking facilities and locations, and the consequences of not being able to park or delays associated with parking). This limitation does not preclude the refunds listed herein or other remedies available to you by law.

Perks and any offers or promotions are separate from any other loyalty programs offered through us or our affiliates. Unless expressly stated otherwise, Perks (including any related rewards or benefits) have no cash or other value and are non-transferable. Perks are subject to change at any time, and some elements of Perks or a specific offer or promotion may not be available for all users, vehicle makes, or models.

If you provide your contact information, you are expressly consenting to a Ford Guide to contact you. Phone calls may be recorded for quality assurance purposes, and by continuing to speak with the Ford Guide you consent to having the call recorded for such purposes.

This section does not affect, and is not intended to affect, any rights that a consumer has that are not able to be excluded under applicable consumer laws.
These Terms together with any additional terms to which you agree when using particular elements of FordPass constitute the entire agreement regarding FordPass and any services. Unless and to the extent local law requires otherwise, these Terms are governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Michigan, except in relation to any conflict of law provisions thereof. Unless local law mandates otherwise, all lawsuits arising from or relating to these Terms shall be brought in the Federal or State courts located in Wayne County, Michigan. If a court determines that any term or condition in these Terms is illegal or unenforceable, then such term will be eliminated and the remaining terms and conditions will remain in full force and effect. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of these Terms remain in full force and effect.
