Are you able to lock the MachE with it running?

[MisterSofa]

Hello:
With the summer coming up, I have a question about leaving the car on (running). Can I leave the car and AC on and still be able to lock the vehicle from outside?

For how long are you asking? Hours?

 

[MisterSofa]

Under 1/2 Hour.

The answer is yes, and if you turn off the auto shutoff timer you can leave it run until the battery dies. Pressing the 7-8 & 9-0 on the B-pillar is the easiest way to lock it.

My Dog thanks you!

Some have suggested that you open the Sketch app and leave a note that the A/C is on and your pup is safe to prevent a "good samaritan" from breaking a window to save them.

If you hold the fob at top of rear passenger window, then close front door you well not get a double horn honk.

Another option would be to turn the car off, lock the car, and then start the car via the app (which really just runs the climate control and heated seats/steering wheel).

Looks like my fob doesn’t have a remote start button. Not as necessary for an EV but your method is what I’ve used on my ICE‘s fob when I’ve had my dog along.

Isn't Dog Mode one of those easy OTA updates Ford could have rolled out by now? When Farley is sitting in a meeting holding his head hearing about the massive delays and problems and he screams "don't we have any quick and easy wins to throw these poor people"? Where is the intern saying dog mode?
