Nothing too fancy: Installed the Fusion Sport Spoiler on the back Installed Molded mud flaps Chrome Light Bulbs for front signal lights.

Top end near the plug. I was sure it was -15C could be -18C as you mentioned.

I was travelling away from home when I had my Powertrain light come on and the ICE would not engage. Order of events from what I can recall: Started vehicle: Backed out of parking stall: Placed in Drive: Began accelerating and noticed the car picked up speed quicker then normal for the amount I pushed on the accelerator: Bing bong Bing bong, Powertrain (wrench) light comes on: As I bring the car to a stop at a stop sign, which seemed hard to do as the car wanted to keep accelerating as I pressed on the brake I then proceed to pull over into the next parking lot, when I noticed the ICE would not engage. I turned the car off, and on, performed a system check and everything is checking out fine. Has anyone else ran into this type of scenario? I'm glad it didn't happen again, especially on the highway while travelling home with family.

Up here in Canada, mine hangs out for a good 6 months of the year. I haven't found a way to route it through the grill, but I also didn't try to hard last year. Last year I just hung it outside of the hood and let the hood close about 2cm past the temperature sensor. W/ the plastic covering, it never closed enough to pinch the wire. Just make sure you don't slam the hood on the temperature sensor, as it's used to not provide power to the block heater if the ambient temperature is above -15C.

LOL that's funny. I ordered a Fusion Sport Spoiler, cost about $900 CDN, painted and installed. Have no idea if affects the gas mileage as I only had about 2000 km on the car before spoiler was put on. Love the looks of it!

And rain sensing wipers w/ the Driver Visual Package.

My build is also 1.0x, however not sure 200USD is worth the upgrade for us Canadians. Specially living in a smaller city.

I've heard mine kick in a few times. I wouldn't say it's "loud", but it is noticeable when in EV mode and not pumpin' the tunes :D. Question and Answer from Owners Manual: Question: What is the fan noise I hear from the rear of my hybrid? Answer: The fan noise comes from a fan located inside the high voltage battery. This fan turns on when the battery requires cooling air. The fan speed, and associated noise level, will change according to the amount of cooling required to maintain good performance. Maintaining the battery temperature at optimal conditions also prolongs the useful life of the battery and helps to achieve better fuel economy.

Yup it's your battery cooling, draws air from cabin for ventilation. Try not to block it. I'm not 100% sure, but it also might push air from batteries to cabin if trying to increase cabin temperature.

Revived old post, and started new one here: Update is available here for $199.00 USD. V.2011. You will need the application number from your system to order that can be obtained by pressing the information or 'i' button on your Navigation system.

Updateis now available!

Of all the bells and whistles on my car, I cannot believe that there is no simple Windshield Washer Fluid Low warning. yup... that's about all I have to say :D

Just to add, it's not necessarily the Internal Combustion Engine or the Hybrid System, but all the Environmental pieces that have to be warmed up ,mostly focusing on the Catalytic Convertor. This might explain why it turns white even if temp guage is low. Being in Canada, Winter driving is equivalent to 4cylinder gas engine, very little EV only mode. Long story short sounds like your car is running fine :D Good Luck

Agreed, I find that if you start the car and shift into D or R before everything has finished "booting" up, I lose both the Sync Voice and Song/Artist song alert, however everything pops up on screen. Haven't tried nav when this happens, but can assume it's the same. A quick off on, let everything boot up fixes the issue for me.

No such thing as Sirius Travelink for us Canadians. No Traffic, No Weather and No Sports, it's not available.
