Power Save Mode
Probably a stupid question but here it is. What is Power Save Mode. Just got a text saying my truck will go in power save mode in 24hrs. And, I'm out of town with a different vehicle. So, I can't check the manual. What's this power save mode all about?
Thanks

I attempted to use my system after I parked my vehicle for an extended period and I received
an error message that my system was in “Power Save Mode” What is the reason for this?
Your system is designed so that it will not drain your vehicle battery when the vehicle is parked
for an extended period of time. The Remote Access system will go into a Power Save mode
approximately 72 hours after the ignition key is turned OFF. The Power Save mode will not
engage if the vehicle ignition is turned ON within 72 hours of key OFF. Remote start of your
vehicle via Remote Access or your hand-held fob will not prevent the Power Save mode
from engaging.
If Power Save mode does engage, your Remote Access system can be “woken-up” in two ways:
1. Turn the ignition ON using your factory key.
2. Schedule a “wake-up” time through your Remote Access mobile phone app or
Remote Access website.
Schedule a Wake-up time using the Remote Access app:
1. Open app and press the SETTINGS.
2. Click Vehicle settings (Android) or “ ” next to vehicle name (iPhone).
3. Under Power Save setting, click the Unscheduled or highlighted date icon.
4. Set the desired wake-up date and time.
5. Press the OK or Save button.
6. Once the vehicle Wake-up Date/Time is scheduled, the new Wake-up Date/Time will
be displayed on the main screen.
Schedule a Wake-up time using the Remote Access website:
1. Go to www.fordremoteaccess.com
2. Click the Login/Sign-up in the upper right corner.
3. Enter your username and password.
4. On the Remote Access user interface (LOCK, UNLOCK, FIND and START buttons),
press the Edit button in the upper right hand corner.
5. Check the Scheduled Wake-up box.
6. Set the Wake-up time using the calendar.
7. Click the Save button.
Notes regarding Power Save Mode:
1. Power Save Mode is cancelled when the vehicle is started with the ignition key.
2. It may take up to twelve hours for the “Wake-up” process to complete.
3. Wake-up” must be scheduled after the vehicle goes into Power Save mode. For
example, you park your vehicle at the airport and turn off your ignition key at 9:05
AM on Monday morning. The vehicle will enter Power Save mode at 9:05 AM
on Thursday morning. If you want to use your Access systems after 9:05 AM on
Thursday morning, schedule a wake-up for 9:06 AM or later on Thursday.
4. Schedule the wake-up as close to your arrival as possible. The Access system enter Power Save mode again 12 hours after wake-up.
TIP: If you park your vehicle and expect to not start the vehicle again for 72 hours, set the Wakeup time right after you park! Remember, your vehicle will “wake-up” for 12 hours and then enter Power Save mode again so set the wake-up time as close to your arrival as possible.

I assume your truck has the cell phone link system app. What ever it is called.
The system turns its self off after a while to prevent battery drain. In order to take commands it has to be listening and active on the cellular network which draws power.

My F150 does this when I leave town for a while. It will go into a sleep state to keep from draining the battery. You might see it happen for a day or two after when you start driving the truck again depending on battery charge.
