okay, clip uploaded of empower screen while driving.
neod192 replied to clummus's topic in Fuel Mileage
At 2:05 you can see the car going in and out of EV as your boyfriend applies pressure to the gas pedal. He has to stop doing that and just keep the pressure constant. The gas pedal is REALLY sensitive and it took me 2 months to be able to apply just enough pressure to increase the demand AND keep it in EV. Think of it as having an egg between your foot and the pedal :) Now I can actually release the gas pedal and have the car switch from ICE to EV mode without completely letting go of the pedal. I thought it couldn't be done when I first got the car, but I figured it out with time :) -
I'm curious to see the video. Post it when you get a chance! EDIT: I just saw the other post with the video :)

That sounds like my car when I first got it. I got 354 miles on my first tank, and my mileage is slowly improving. Check out my fuelly page in my signature. I started seeing better (in the 40's) MPGs after 1k miles and now that I'm close to 3k miles I'm getting more and more trips in the high 40's/low 50's. This car has a steep learning curse and break in period (for both the driver and car).

Anyone had issues with their Weather Map? Yesterday the Weather app & navigation would crash if I tried to pull up the map. I could see the current and 5 day weather, just not the map. After the crash, the navigation would restart and start a new route (luckily it remembered the destination and way points). A MFT restart fixed the issue (I keep the delayed reboot flash drive in my car all the time). Another bug that happened just a couple days before that, when I would browse channels on Sirius it wouldn't scroll up or down - it was stuck on list of displayed channels. A MFT reboot fixed this issue as well ...

Sending/Replying to text messages
neod192 replied to jsolan's topic in Audio, MyFord, Navigation & SYNC
You're 2 steps ahead of me: you can receive and send text messages via MFT. MFT won't even read them from my Nexus 4, while it'll read, but not send them from my wife's iPhone 5 ... Sorry I can't help, unfortunately not too many devices are fully compatible with MFT. -
That was me! They fixed it by taking that area apart and re-setting all the trim pieces - they didn't replace it with a re-engineered part - and it seems to be fine.

I think I saw that on a very humid/rainy day. Putting the air on defrost cleared it up.

Shiny black center console and scratches
neod192 replied to GrySql's topic in Interior Trim, Seats, Seat Belts & Covers
I haven't used my Z-14 yet, but have a few tiny scratches on the door trims. I'll post here once I give it a try as well. -
What are the green lines in the display
neod192 replied to clummus's topic in Advanced Driver Assistance Technologies
That doc was the manual :) owner.ford.com also has a html version of the manual. The MyKey section is pretty complex, so definitely take the time to read and understand it. -
The car knows how many keys you have and won't let you set all of them to MyKey - you have to have at least one admin key.

Turn your T/S on before you start changing lanes :) BTW, when I tried this on the highway in a curse it corrected itself once but the 2nd time it crossed the white line. Had to turn the steering wheel all by myself .. :(

Have you guys looked at the CURT Hitch - http://www.autoanything.com/towing/73A3874A0A0.aspx? Someone posted pics of it installed on an SE with the 2.0 dual exhaust engine and it looks great! I don't think the installation would be any different on the Hybrids and he didn't even have to cut the rear panel. http://www.blueovalforums.com/forums/index.php?/topic/53238-curt-hitch-installation-on-2013-se-20/?hl=curt

Love it! Thanks for taking the time to take pics and white up the details :) Where was this post when I did mine?
-
I voted! 31 here :)

Notice how there's not a continuous line in the circle? That means you can change lanes up-side-down! Just don't turn too far be you'll be screwed, lol :)

Sylvi, All dressed up for the dealer
neod192 replied to acdii's topic in Lounge - Off Topic Discussion
Damn! That sux. Is this after they bought it from you? How bad is it? -
Oh, nice :) Congrats!

This makes so much sense! Thanks for explaining it so that even I can understand :-p

It's like having an Energi! Here's my commute this morning. Back in the 50's!

Michigan is doing really bad now. They said MI prices are the highest in the continental US - the only place with higher prices is Hawaii .. http://www.mlive.com/business/index.ssf/2013/06/analyst_michigan_gas_prices_co.html

They don't make "bad" ones anymore. They make lots of bad drivers though :) I thought I wasn't a "bad" driver, but 2k miles/2 months later I'm starting to see some good numbers.

Here's my commute this morning. For some reason I felt like I was tailgated all the way to work and didn't go as smooth as I usually do. Still happy with 47.6 MPG.

These are $5 on Amazon as an add-on item :) Edit: I guess that's the same price as Walmart, but you save on taxes ...
