I can't seem to find a vent setting on my 2010 FFH (Rapid Spec 502a with the Nav system). By vent setting, I mean a climate setting in which untreated (not heated or cooled) outside air is brought into the car through the upper vent registers. It seems like the air is always either heated or cooled, unless the inside temperature setting is very close to the outside temperature. Also, with the fan off no outside air enters the car. All my previous cars (mostly Toyotas) enabled untreated outside air to enter the car without the fan being on. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the responses. Yes, it has been wet and rainy lately, which probably explains my observation. I do notice that the brakes get grippy while stopping just as the regen cycle icon disappears, which confirms that this is when the hydraulic braking kicks in. But, I should probably be watching the road rather than the pretty colors on the dash :-) BTW, this car that has a lot of dashboard distractions. Between the Smartguage with Ecoguide, the nav system, iphone bluetooth, satellite radio, and usb drive music, it sure is hard to keep your eyes on the road. And I haven't even tried the travel link yet.

I purchased a 2010 FFH two weeks ago and last week noticed a change in the brake behavior. In recent days, the brakes act strangely upon coming to a complete stop at slow speeds. When the car is close to stopping completely, the brakes suddenly grab and stop the car abruptly. At the same time there is a feeling of the brake pedal moving down slightly on its own. Is this behavior normal? My FFH was built in Jan 2010, and I don't know if it has the latest brake software upgrade.

Thanks, that helps a lot.

The owner's manual says: Average fuel economy: Your average fuel economy in miles/gallon will be displayed at the top right of your vehicle’s instrument cluster or in liters/100 km at the lower right along with the efficiency leaves, history graph or no display (shown previously with history graph). You may reset this average at any time. Refer to Message center in this chapter for more information on the average fuel economy display mode. Is this referring to a reset of the "long term fuel economy"? The avg mpg value in the upper right is not the same as the "long term fuel economy" value which appears in the trip report.

But it is different than the overall mpg (vehicle life or since last reset) value reported at the end of a trip.

Does anyone know what the avg mpg reading about the leaves/histogram section of the dashboard is based on? It does not seem to correlate with the overall vehicle mpg, the instantaneous mpg, or the 1, 2, or 6 minute histogram mpg. It appears to be a running average over a longer period than the individual histogram bars, but shorter than the overall vehicle mpg. Does anyone know the time period over which this is averaged?
