Hello everyone! I have joined this forum in hope that I can have some light shed to the following mystery. Last week, I have purchased a used 2016 Ford Fusion Energi Hybrid SE with some extra luxury features thrown in. Overall, I love the car. On inspection of the vehicle, I noticed that in the left side of the instrument panel, in the Settings > Vehicle, I have a full set of "Remote Start" options, including windows, locks and climate settings. However, the keyfob which came with the car doesn't have a Remote Start button. After some research, I have noticed that the "Remote Start" options will not be exposed in the instrument panel's "Settings" menu unless the car has this option installed. At the same time, the features list for the vehicle shows "Less Remote Start" (or something like that). So my question is this: is this possible that this information is incorrect and that my car does have a "Remote Start" feature but the used car dealer somehow replaced the original keyfob with a cheaper one (perhaps because the original was broken or lost)? Howe can I for sure check if my car has this feature? Thank you in advance for all your help and time!
