Important Information

If automatic updates are set to "Off," your vehicle will not automatically download and install software updates. This prevents Ford from delivering software updates designed to improve your vehicle over time.

Disabling automatic updates means you will need to manually accept each software update as it becomes available for your vehicle. The system will not be able to perform updates automatically.
