Well found out that the 2021 will only idle for 30 minutes and then shuts off

I was in my tahoe at an event Monday and need to do a meeting in it on the computer and it was warm so had it on running the AC. It gives a warming about shutting off in 5 minutes on down but I don't know how to defeat it. Press ok didn't stop it from shutting off.

Anyone know how to extend it? I am sure it is a safety feature due to the no physical key.

Surely there must be a way to disable that feature. I have dogs and that would be a dealbreaker.

I bet the PPV / SSV don’t do that. Unless they want the police to buy Fords.

Hold the start button for a while when you start the car and it will disable that feature. I forget if it's 15 or 30 seconds but a message will pop up and let you know.

Can also put in gear, then back to park to reset timer.

I was in the back seat doing a meeting with computer on console I was hoping to push a button to stop the shutdown.

Cool I will try that next time.

It does work. I tried it out two hrs ago. Press and hold until message displays

Same on the 2015-2020 models as well. I believe it's 60 minutes with key fob detected and 30 minutes without. Only 15 minutes when remote start too.

However. It appears you have to do it every time.

Put it in service mode it will run until the gas runs out
