Why does my Ford vehicle enter Deep Sleep mode?

Deep Sleep mode is designed to conserve your vehicle's battery power. This setting is activated when your vehicle falls under the following conditions:

  • Vehicle inactivity for 14 consecutive days
  • The battery voltage drops below 9.5 volts
  • Extremely cold/hot weather conditions

Turning Off Deep Sleep Mode

To turn off Deep Sleep Mode, manually start your vehicle using the push-button start or your key. It may take 20-30 seconds for your modem to reconnect with the Ford app.

Note: If you are unable to start your vehicle, contact Roadside Assistance*.


*Roadside assistance is included for certain owners and available to everyone for a per-service fee. Ford reserves the right to change program details without obligations.

The Ford app, compatible with select smartphone platforms, is available via a download. Message and data rates may apply.
