, I didn't think to go over in the product presentation. To be honest with you, there are so many

things

things

out of the presentation, so he had me do this video because he had these detailed questions. I'm pretty sure you guys are there. Some of you have the same question that's why I'm making this video of the main things or just some things that you may not

To help you, I also have an app for you, if you are interested, download it, it's free, the app is here on the screen, go ahead and download it now and enjoy its features, don't forget to follow me on Instagram, I post a lot. There's good content there too, Facebook Linkedin, you name it and I'm all over social media, okay enough of the nonsense, without further ado let's move on and talk about the few things you may not know about your Ford vehicle okay So the first thing I want to discuss is on these vehicles that have a smart key like this.

Here is a specific slot that is in the center console like an SUV or in the center storage area next to the shifter if it is an F-150 and that slot is for a specific purpose so I'm going to talk about that and also the benefits that you get from using that slot, so let me go ahead and show you what I'm talking about, let me turn the camera to the right so this is my personal f-150 and let's see if we can make this work here for you guys, so in the f-150 s that you have in some like the 2017, this slot that I'm talking about is writing here this is a 2018, which is my personal vehicle, it appears on camera and it's hard for me to change, okay , don't worry, let's do this, so this is a 2018 and the slot I'm talking about is this cinema right there, right there, so I heard in some In some videos and on YouTube it is said that those slots are meant to keep the key in its place or put it away, which is absolutely wrong.

There's no way Ford will put a slot here or there so you can store the key it actually has. one purpose, so the purpose of that is that if you need to reprogram your key, use that slot so the computer can learn that this is a new key that you are programming. Also use that slot to retrieve your door code, okay? If you don't have your door code with you, you can use that slot to go ahead and retrieve the code, so that's really your main purpose and lastly, if you have a dead remote, if the battery is completely dead here and your lock and unlock does not work that means the start button will not work whether you insert the slots insert the key into the slot and because the key chip is now very close to the computer module that is Below will allow you to start the vehicle with a button even with a dead remote.

Now I'm going to show you how to recover your door code, so you need to have two keys, if you have a smart key like this, then locate its slot, whether it's there or inside or in the center console, there's also a slot for the SUV, so what you do is take one of the keys, insert it right there, press the button, don't press the brake, so don't brake. press the button, okay, it will turn on, the engine will not start, so just the vehicle you turn it off, take out your or your first key. I didn't bring my second key, so pretend this is the second key to insert. the second key and then do the same press the Start button, do not press the brake pedal and your door code should appear on the screen.

It's not showing up now because I didn't insert the second key but this is a way you can recover your door code if you have a normal key like this what you need to do to recover your door code is insert it into the ignition turn it to the on position right where the lights come on, not the engine that counts. three seconds, you remove that key, you take your second key, you insert it, you turn it to the on position again and that's it, that's how you're going to be able to get the code to the door with that type of key right there, okay, point number two is how to change this door code have you ever had that moment where your sales consultant presents you with your code and it's just numbers that you really know are not easy to remember so I always tell customers a time delivery?

I would like to change this number to something that is a little easier for you to remember. You need the original code to personalize and add a new five-digit code to this entry key pack. Remember if you don't know your original code. code, follow step number one to recover your door code, so let's go ahead and show you how to change your door code, so changing your door code is quite simple for those vehicles that do not have the screen big in the radio area like You will see there you need to change your door codes by typing your original number it will be five numbers what you will do next is press button one two what you will do next is enter your five new numbers , so whatever. five new numbers that you want to add, then lock your doors by pressing the last two buttons which will lock your vehicle and continue and conclude your door code programming.

Now maybe you didn't know that you can lock your doors, including on a truck, your tailgate by pressing the last two buttons here, so that's a little trick to locking the doors now if you have the big screen in the radio area as you see here, so if you have the big screen like you see here what you need to do is go to the settings, slide your finger to the vehicle, the code button selector on your door keypad is the first one you press and then here what What you need to do is type in your original five numbers and then you're going to add, a message will appear that says you want to add or replace, you don't want to replace, you want to add, so you press add, you'll type in your five numbers and then you'll type them in. again to confirm and simple like you have changed the door code on your new Ford, so point number three is in this quick video.

Do you know what these buttons are for on my truck? There are four that aren't on if I'm focused, but there are four right there and a lot of people think they're microphones or a lot of people think they're a light shining in the cabin of the vehicle. Well, that's incorrect, actually, what they are, they're sensors. If you lock your doors, if you walk away from your vehicle and, for example, your windows are down and someone reaches into the vehicle to try to steal something, then the alarm should go off, so let's go ahead and try it.

I have my truck. on I'm going to roll down the windows, okay, and I'm going to turn them off. I'm going to walk away now. I'm going to be unfocused. My doors are closed. I have locked my vehicle and I'm just going to wait until the lights come on. Go away, they've done it and again I don't know if you can see me, but I'm going to stick my hand in and see if this works. Yes, reaching inside will activate those sensors. Try it yourself to see if it works for you while we're in. here I wanted to talk about what happens if you don't have the key with you and you really want to enjoy the radio, don't worry, even without the key here, you press the button and you have the auxiliary mode for your radio on that. great so you don't need your actual key to listen to the radio so in the past you need it to have auxiliary mode remember you will turn the key and put it in a certain position and then you are you can turn on your radio well now no, you don't need the actual key to listen to the radio.

That brings me to point number five. One thing I've already discussed in other videos of mine is that there is no atmosphere. lighting I don't like the fact that there is no ambient lighting on this eye, although it is a negligible feature for 2018 and later on the f-150s, there is no ambient lighting at all here, but you do get it on the Explorers or why Ford It doesn't bring you up to the Ford F-150, their best-selling vehicle, so point number five is that there is no ambient lighting. Now another thing I want to mention is the memory seats in Fords.

I feel like it's a lot easier for you to memorize our have the system memorize the seats, it's really simple, what you need to do is, if you have an electronic steering wheel, move it to the position you want to move it to, okay, just for this one. For example, let's move it there. move the seat, you know, a little forward, that's definitely not where I'd put it. Let's move the pedals so your pedals move too and just for the heck of it, let's move one of the mirrors and wait a second. That one, I need to turn it on, so let's move one of the mirrors, there you moved it too far in, but let's say that's your seating position so you can memorize that seating position, all you need to do is press one two. or three buttons, hold it until you hear a chime, but now I'm going to share with you a different tip: you can now program your personal remote control to automatically adjust the seat position to where you want the seat to be the moment you enter the vehicle so I use this in my example like my wife has one of my keys and I have this key here so whenever my wife is going to drive my truck for any reason when I press the unlock button then all these the settings move to your settings because we have the remote control program so two steps remember you have one, two and three here, press and hold the button you want to control until you hear a second chime, the first time the chime basically memorize all of these The sitting position the second time you listen allows you to program the remote, so here's what you do.

Hold it down. There is a number one bell. There is a number ring to release and press the lock button. The lock button by pressing the lock button. Now lock all of these settings on this remote, so let's go ahead and move on, so let's say you know. I'm going to move it all the way back. I'm going to move the steering wheel all the way down and I'm going to move that mirror back out, so let's say we exit the vehicle, the vehicle is off. I go ahead and close the door when I press the unlock button that should move and the seats should move and that mirror should move let's see there. you are sitting moved, hopefully, you understood that the mirror moved and you can see that the mirror is completely where it had it, this is how you can program your remote control so that all the seats and positions are done with the moment you enter the vehicle so you don't have to press that button over there, okay, tip number seven is diem or drive modes, so you should have those on your recent Fords, whether it's on the shifter here or if your shifter is up.

You should have it here, so when you press that, you should be able to see it change that drive mode so you have the normal tow mode, skip one so you have the normal tow mode, wet snow mode, eco mode and sport mode. mode basically in summary and by the way I made a detailed video on this so I'll link it in the descriptions and on the cards somewhere above so you can go ahead and watch that specific video but this is in summary what they mean these modes, so the normal mode doesn't focus on fuel efficiency or any kind of performance, it's just for normal driving, you know, to and from work, and that's it, now that you have the mode of towing and hauling, the normal total transportation mode C. transmission so that you get optimal port and power sent to the rear wheels and do not look for the gears, remains in a year to provide approximately the power to the vehicle so that it can facilitate a little It's a little easier to tow whatever you're towing behind wet snow mode.

I use it quite frequently in my truck on this vehicle, so obviously there is no snow here, but when it's raining outside I put it in this mode because it reduces the throttle response and the power sent to the rear wheels so it doesn't collapse. I don't lose control. You have eco mode. I use it on longer trips so it puts me into higher gears sooner. Somehowit reduces the throttle response and the power sent to the wheels again because remember it's conserving, trying to conserve fuel and lastly you have the sport mode, if you put it in sport mode then they put you in higher gears faster, so you are compromising fuel economy on this. one, but man, it gives you better performance.

I feel like you got about 20% more acceleration when you go into sport mode, try them today. The eighth thing you may not need from your Ford f-150 or Ford in general has to do the same. Now that it has to do with the front grilles, this is not new technology and we have had this for many years, but many customers don't know that these vehicles have active grille shutters, so basically you have some shutters here on this side. and some shutters here like blinds in your house, you know, the windows open and close, so depending on the vehicle, so these uh ters or blinds can't open or close depending on what you're doing, if you're towing a trailer, yeah You are driving on the highway trying to save fuel or if you start your vehicle remotely then it will obviously shut down. that the engine can heat up faster, so let me show you in my truck how that works, so we have blue jeans here and I'll show them to you right in that slot, there you can see one of them, so what?

What I'm going to do is start it remotely and you should see it open and close. There you go, there is one of them and it should open again. Basically, they go through a cycle to make sure they are working properly. what they are and again, this is just to provide better aerodynamic airflow passing through the vehicle to produce less drag. It's to the vehicle's benefit to allow tons of air into the vehicle, so if you're towing a trailer, you know this engine, this transmission. will work better and like I said before, if you have started your vehicle remotely like I did, then if it's really cold outside, guess what, those shutters will close so the engine can warm up faster and provide heat faster to the inside. vehicle cabin, okay guys, there you have it, these are just eight tips and little tricks that I know we have on some Ford f-150s and I hope this was informative for you and if it was, please give us some " I like it" that we love.
