Set a recurring schedule for your Ford vehicle software updates 

To keep your Ford vehicle updated with the latest software, schedule recurring updates for your Ford vehicle. Choose a time when you don’t need to be driving, like overnight, since some updates won’t be able to download while you’re driving. Here’s how to set a recurring schedule, as shown in the video above: 

• Press the control button on your vehicle’s infotainment system 
• Navigate to Software Updates 
• Press Recurring Update Schedule 
• Choose your preferred time and day 

How do I know if my vehicle has had a recent software update? 

If you set recurring updates, you may wonder how you’ll know when one has occurred. The next time you start your vehicle, a message will appear letting you know that a software update was successful. You can click the Details button for more information. The system will also let you know if an update wa unsuccessful, so you’re always kept informed.
