Default Connected Vehicle Features




Does anyone know what each of the selection sliders control on the Connected Vehicle Features menu? I want to start limiting the data that goes back to Ford but don't want to lose some of the beneficial features. I looked in the manual and it was really unclear and almost worthless...

The things I want to be sure to keep are data used for the Vehicle Health Report I get periodically, Ford Pass features (vehicle status, vehicle location, tire pressures, fuel level, mileage. etc), the ability to remote lock/start/panic, and OTA updates. In looking at the sliders, the only one that seems obvious is Share Vehicle Location. The others descriptions for Share Vehicle Data, Share Vehicle Analytics and Share Driving Data could be associated with some of those things I want reported...

Thanks all!

EDIT: I failed to look at the Info buttons behind each slider. Here is the data from those screens. It almost seems as if all of the sliders need to remain on to get the data I want in Ford Pass.... Depends on how literal you read each item...
