If you’re wondering how to program the remote key fob on a 2017 Ford Fusion, this guide will help you with the process. It will work primarily with any of the key fobs that are used for push-button starts.
Firstly, it’s important to note that the location of the instructions may not be accurate in the owner’s manual, so some digging might be required. The instructions for programming the key fob on a 2017 Ford Fusion can be found on page 65 of the owner’s manual.
To start the programming process, you need to assemble all of your keys and have them in the vehicle. The top sliding piece needs to be removed by depressing a button on the top, allowing the key to slide out. Once this is done for all keys, you can locate the pocket in the 2017 Fusion, which is usually found in the cup holder or center console.
For programming with three keys, the process involves inserting the key into the pocket and waiting for a few seconds. The start/stop button needs to be pushed within five seconds, and then the key has to be removed. This process is repeated for each key. Once the keys are programmed, the unprogrammed key can be placed into the pocket, and by pressing and holding the start button, the vehicle will indicate successful programming.
It’s important to note that up to six keys can be programmed, and the process needs to be repeated for each key, ending with holding the start button down to complete the programming.
