Ford Can Now Stop Some Vehicles Starting, Even with the Key

To help curb theft, Ford has developed several security measures, including a kill-switch-like feature called Start Inhibit.

The feature allows owners to remotely prevent their vehicles from starting through the Ford app, even if a thief has an authorized key.

Start Inhibit is available as part of the Ford Security Package, which has a Lincoln counterpart called the Lincoln Security Package. The package also provides theft alerts, allowing owners to receive push notifications for potential intrusions, door openings, towing, or unexpected movement. It also includes Stolen Vehicle Services, which offers 24/7 support and works with law enforcement to help track and recover a stolen vehicle.
