  1. Here is a picture of the intake resonator. Lincoln MKZ is the same as a Fusion Energi. Or Fusion Hybrid.
  2. The only difference when you install Titanimum lights on the SE is the center red on the outside lights remain on continuously, much like the SE lights. When you appply the brakes the center light becomes brighter. I now have a 2016 Energi Titanimun and the the only light that is on continuously is the ring, with the center light illluminating only when the brake is applied. With my 2013, I liked the additional light to the rear, using the Titanimun lights on the SE.
  3. To get the Energi’s quoted mileage, you need to drive at city speeds, without air or heat. Heat is worse for battery range. When I do my job with battery management, I get the quoted estimated mileage in the city, this is without heat or air. Freeway mileage set at 70 to 75 on Eco-Cruise, I will get 32 to 35 mpg. Battery management is, L in the city below 45mph, D when above 45mph. L is nice in the city, because regen is more aggressive and you can almost drive one pedal, this is with steady traffic and moderately changing speeds.
  4. Just for giggles, here is side view of my 2016 front license bracket/frame. My 2013 had the same bracket/frame. The grill design on the 2017 is different than a 2016. The front bracket/frame was redesigned to fit the new contour. With my frame design, the screws would go into the bumper cover, not good. I do like that the tabs are now on the bottom, more stable.
  5. On the front license plate bracket, the two screws go on the bottom of the plate. There are two tabs on the upper part of the license plate bracket, the license plate goes under these tabs and the screws are used on the bottom of the plate.
  6. These "holes" are filled with a soft material to grab and prevent the screw from backing out due to vibration. The three holes match different states or country's, license plate mounting holes. There is no need to drill anything. Two screws for the front and two for the rear. There should be two small flexible protrusions below the 3 holes on each side to support the lower part of the license plate. By the way, I believe the this part of the trunk is plastic. If the protrusions don't fit your plate, just let the plate rest against the protrusions, they are there to prevent/reduce vibration. See below picture.
  7. There is no license plate bracket on the trunk lid. There are screw holes to attach the license plate directly to the trunk lid. Screws can be obtained from the Ford parts department.
  8. Looks like you can take the man out of the Fusion Hybrid but you can't take the Fusion Hybrid out of the man. Happy to see you're still in the mix. I moved over to a 2016 FFE Titanium in May, so far it's been good to me. Not once to the dealer.
  9. Try http://www.nushield.com/. I've used this film for several MFT screens. I'm using the NuShield DayView now. In the past I used NuShield Triple A. The Triple A is a mat finish which greatly reduces finger prints, not so for the DayView. Either one will cover any small scratches. If I need to replace the DayView film I'll go back to the Triple A, because of the anti glare and fingerprint hiding qualities. Buffing for me is not an option because it will remove any coating on the MFT screen.
  10. My first 21 days of ownership, 2016 FFE. The picture still shows my 2013 FFH. The new 2016 is the same color, so eventually I'll change the picture. My remaining range still showed 100 miles, with the gas left in the tank. I filled up because of a trip tomorrow. 8.14 gal to fill the tank.
  11. I had my dealer turn on the DRLs on on my 2013 FFH, the DRLs didn't turn off when using the turn signals. I now have a 2016 Energi, I turned the DRLs on with controls in the left dash screen. These DRLs do shut off when using the turn signals.
  12. When you press the + the view is almost straight down. The view is about 12 inches away from the pumper. The black dashed line is to help align a trailer hitch when backing up....for other cars equipped with a bumper hitch. Not necessarily a FFH.
  13. Some months ago I posted my backup camera picture as others thought the camera view changed. The view has always been this way, as you can see it's the same as the above picture.
