for a video demonstration of the ExxonMobil Speedpass+ app enabled for
Ford SYNC AppLink.
Speedpass+ users can access the app from their Ford SYNC® 3
touch screen or by voice commands to authorize payment while
automatically earning Plenti loyalty points at Exxon and Mobil stations.
“ExxonMobil’s use of mobile technology that makes life more convenient
for their customers can be easily integrated into Ford vehicles,” said
Dave Hatton, Ford global manager, mobile applications and emergency
services. “With SYNC AppLink, the Speedpass+ experience becomes a more
seamless part of our customers’ journey.”
Using GPS, the vehicle recognizes it is at a participating Exxon or
Mobil station, making it easy for the driver to enter the pump number
and automatically pay for gas.
To pay for fuel using voice commands:
-
Say, “Pay for fuel” or “Express pay”
-
Indicate which pump number to authorize by saying the number; for
instance, “1” or “Pump 1”
-
Confirm fuel authorization and begin fueling
Drivers also can use the app to search for and navigate to approximately
9,400 participating Exxon and Mobil stations. Using the Ford SYNC 3
touch screen, the car automatically shows a list of nearby stations,
along with directions, when a customer’s fuel gauge drops below a
specified fuel level.
SYNC AppLink provides drivers with the ability to control compatible
smartphone apps using their voice or the in-vehicle touch screen.
Developers can easily make their smartphone apps compatible with SYNC by
downloading and integrating the AppLink software from the Ford
Developer Program website.
