Software Update to FordPass Connect Modem
In New Zealand and Australia, the 3G cellular network will be decommissioned from June 2024. FordPass Connect modems in some Ford Connected Vehicles equipped with SYNC3 rely on the 3G network to operate. To enable the FordPass Connect modem to continue operating on the 4G network, from July 2023, Ford will deploy an update to the modem software.

“The new Ford Puma is a great addition to the NZ small SUV/Crossover market. Its FWD offers a fun and involving time behind the wheel and the ST-Line comes simply fully loaded and that includes 20,000km service intervals and 5-year unlimited warranty.”

“It’s not just this engine that makes the Puma a rewarding drive. The steering is just wonderful, communicating all the time and allowing you to feel every nuance of what the car is up to.“

“Both versions of the Puma impress with their cheerfully engaging chassis (just like a Fiesta) and eager handling and while the ST-Line’s sportier suspension is a bit firmer than most would expect from a baby SUV, it is never harsh or uncomfortable, while the standard Puma is unflappable and always on the right side of comfortable.”
