What is a Schedule Maintenance Minder in the FordPass®* App?
The Scheduled Maintenance Minder is a Connected Vehicle feature designed to provide you with a better understanding of when your vehicle will require scheduled maintenance. This feature utilizes your vehicle’s odometer to predict when upcoming scheduled maintenance is required, provides you with a notification 30 days in advance of your next scheduled maintenance interval, and links you to the service schedule for details on what is required.
Note: Ensure the following conditions are met:
- You have a vehicle added to the FordPass App.
- Your vehicle must be equipped with a 4G Wi-Fi modem.
| Schedule Maintenance Criteria | FordPass Message |
|---|---|
| Time to Plan (Approximately 30 days prior to predicated date) | Based on your mileage, it's time to plan for your next recommended service. Schedule soon to keep your vehicle running at its best. |
| Recommended Service Soon (14 days/ 500 miles) | Based on your mileage, it's time to perform your next recommended service. Schedule soon to keep your vehicle running at its best. |
| Recommended Service Required (0 days/0 miles) | Based on your mileage, your next recommended service is due. Perform now to keep your vehicle running at its best. |
Notes:
- There are situations where the remaining days and mileage may not be displayed due to inadequate vehicle usage data.
- This would occur when the vehicle is brand new and the prediction model is attempting to learn the vehicle operators trip habits.
- The prediction model may remove certain functionality (Days/Miles remaining) in the event vehicle usage has changed substantially from previous weeks of vehicle operation.
- An example of this would be if the vehicle is utilized for normal commuting and suddenly is used for a long road trip.
- The Prediction model is attempting to update itself at this point. Days and Miles remaining will return when the model confirms data is accurate.
- Scheduled Maintenance Minder is reset when the vehicle reaches 500 miles or 14 days past the maintenance interval or if an in-vehicle oil life reset is detected after a Scheduled Maintenance notification has been sent.
- In most cases it will require that the vehicle be operated for three trips/drive cycles before FordPass reflects the reset.
