Ford's Factory Remote-Start System To Help Environment

To help our society dealing with the global warming, Ford also gives a big hand as well by launching a new factory-installed remote start system which will reduce hydrocarbon, CO, and nitrogen oxide emissions by up to 75 percent.

The new system preheats the catalyst on cold starts, which is where up to 95 percent of emissions typically occur, prior to the first few accelerations during any given drive. The system combines with automatic climate control to measure inside and outside temperature. It activates the heat, heated seats, and defroster on cold days, and kicks in the A/C and cooled seats for warmer climates.
