How does a Ford key work?

How a Ford Key Works
Ford’s keyless entry and remote start system is an electronic lock that allows you to enter your car without physically unlocking it, as long as you have your key fob with you. The system uses sensors that activate when you are near your vehicle, enabling you to unlock it by pulling on its front handles. The key fob senses your vehicle once it is within a 90 cm radius, allowing you to unlock the car by pulling on its front handles.
The Ford Intelligent Access key communicates with your vehicle via a radio frequency signal. When the key is within a 3-foot range from your vehicle, it allows you to unlock your doors, lock your doors, start your vehicle, turn off your vehicle, and open the trunk. The key must be inside the vehicle to start the vehicle.
To start your Ford remotely, you can press the lock button to lock the doors, then push the remote start button twice within three seconds. On some models, a light on your key fob will indicate if the car started. If your Ford has SYNC Connect, you can remotely unlock your car without a key fob by pairing your phone and app with your car. If your Ford doesn’t have SYNC Connect, you can unlock your car manually with the key fob’s hidden key.
In case the key fob is dead, there is a mini key inside it that can be used like a regular key to unlock the door at the driver’s side. After opening, the key can be replaced back inside the key fob. Once inside the vehicle, the key fob needs to be placed in the appropriate location in the vehicle so that it can be recognized.
Ford was one of the first companies to offer “chip keys” as a standard vehicle security feature. Each key (or key fob) has a built-in computer chip with a specific and unique code that the vehicle is programmed to identify and accept. If the key doesn’t have a computer chip or has a code that the vehicle doesn’t recognize, the car will not start.
In case the Intelligent Access key is not working, it contains a removable mechanical key blade that can be used to unlock the driver door in case the remote transmitter battery loses its charge.
Overall, Ford’s key system combines electronic and radio frequency technology to provide convenient and secure access to the vehicle, including keyless entry, remote start, and manual unlocking options.
