  1. When set to Auto, and when temps are colder outside than inside, the air will flow to the feet, not the vents. Depending if there is heat available from the ICE or just electric heat available will determine how fast the "cold" air feels "warm".
  2. TSB has been posted by TX NRG. Thanks TX NRG This TSB is intended to correct the One Touch Up power window feature which in some vehicle built before 4/30/13 may lose its one touch up memory and need to be reprogrammed periodically. LOSS OF ONE-TOUCH-UP POWER WINDOW OPERATION - BUILT ON OR BEFORE 4/30/2013 http://www.fordservicecontent.com/Ford_Content/pubs/content/~WT/~MUS~LEN/3545/tsb13-10-04.htm
  3. Refer to Owners Manual page 219-220. Jump starting is also a topic listed in the index of the owners manual, page 3. Connecting the Jumper Cables Your vehicle has a 12 volt battery that has two prongs accessible from under the hood. Your vehicle can be jumped the same way conventional vehicles can be using the prongs. The illustration below shows the two connector prongs used for jump-starting your vehicle.
  4. The Energi brakes are the same as normal brakes, the regeneration "braking" actually occurs in the electric generator/motor, not the brakes. When regen "braking", the wheels turn the generator which generates electricity which flows to the battery. The turning of the generator causes the vehicle to slow down, as if you were braking with standard brakes.
  5. Has anyone heard any updates on the front window auto-up memory loss issue? Any TSBs?
  6. Mine looks the same, however, I verified on mine that the water is BEHIND the translucent ring, and not inside the translucent ring. I verified this after washing my car by blowing the water out with an air compressor. The water is between the fender and the translucent ring which sits against the fender. If I don't blow the water out it leaves by itself fairly quickly.
  7. Check the gauge to the left of the speedo for electric draw from your Climate system. Your electric heater is most likely on with a high draw. If you prefer range over heat, you can turn the climate system off and just use the seat heaters which are more efficient. Also, if you plan to use your ICE during the trip, you may want to consider using the engine at the beginning of the trip rather than at the end and using the "free" heat that comes from the engine. Once the engine has warmed up, it retains enough residual heat that you can go to EV Now and still have "free" heat even with the engine not running.
  8. Press the button with the arrow to the face on the touchscreen, that puts the airflow thru the Vents / Panel. The voice controls recognize Vent and Panel as the same function. If the outside temp is lower than the temp you have set in the HVAC system, the heater may turn on. If the electric heater turns on, your predicted range goes down. The only way to prevent that is to decrease the temp to LO , or by voice command: "Climate 59 degrees"
  9. Once you hit Auto, you will need to repeat the above. Changing the fan speed will only take the fan out of Auto Fan Mode. The main system that controls everything else will still need to be placed in Manual Mode. Another way to get into Manual Mode is by using voice controls by saying: <Climate> Tone <Vent>
  10. An easy way is to use Manual Mode. This allows you to use the A/C manually. To get to Manual Mode: 1) Press the Vent button (arrow to face) on the touch screen. This takes you out of Auto mode. Once out of Auto mode, you use the A/C button on the panel or the touch screen to turn the A/C on/off manually. The system will stay in Manual Mode, even when restarting the car, until you select Auto Mode. The fan will always be in Auto mode after starting the car until you press the fan button.
  11. Good info. The UNLOCK sensor is within the interior of the handle itself, the LOCK sensor is on top with the little dashed lines.
  12. I personally see that as a preferred solution, rather than a problem. I wouldn't want the gas gauge to go away just because I was in EV Now and not using the engine. Likewise, I wouldn't want the HVB miles remaining display to go away just because I was in EV Later. I personally like to always know the remaining capacity of the HVB, no matter what mode I'm in. Knowing the remaining miles in the HVB provides information that allows me to select the most efficient use of onboard resources (gas / battery) for the particular trip I'm on.
  13. What's bewildering is GM went with a 3.3 charger on the Volt. That really makes no sense with the size of battery it has. As mentioned the Focus has a standard 6.6 charger which is sized appropriately for its larger battery IMHO. The Leaf has a standard 3.3 charger (another bewildering decision) but Nissan charges extra for an optional 6.6.
  14. The water management system is exactly the same for a moon roof or a sun roof. Just to be clear, water is not leaking into the interior of your vehicle, correct? The water you noticed is contained within the water management system as described above?
  15. What your dealer stated is correct if you are seeing water in the drain sills. Here's some general information on how moonroof water management systems work. http://www.techwebasto.com/phocadownload/documentation/sunroof/service_info/webasto_inbuilt_sunroof_water_management_system.pdf Webasto Inbuilt Sunroof Water Management System The Webasto water management system is designed to disperse water through drain tubes to the exterior of the vehicle. The system prevents water entry into the vehicle interior according to standards listed below. Glass Panel in closed position: - Opening a wet panel to tilt position after a rainfall. - Rainfall on the glass panel. - Automatic car-wash (with brushes) treatment. - Manual vehicle wash with hose at 87 PSI for 5 minutes at a distance of 3 feet (maximum water flow 10.5 gal / minute). - Nozzle pointed directly at the Seal (87 PSI, 10.5 gal/m max water flow) for 5 seconds. - Manual vehicle wash with high-pressure spray-gun 435 PSI, for 5 minutes at a distance of 1.5 feet (3.4 gal/m max water flow). - Nozzle pointed directly at the Seal (435 PSI, 3.4 gal/m max water flow) Water Management System Maintenance In order to maintain the functionality of the water management system it is necessary to keep it free of dirt and debris. Webasto recommends to clear the drain tubes of anything that may be inhibiting full drainage capacity a minimum of once per year NOTE: It is normal to feel / see water in the drain trough from the vehicle interior.
  16. Since the moonroof was not a factory installed unit, your warranty will only be with the company that installed the aftermarket moonroof and the dealer that represented the moonroof company. A different, independently owned dealer will not be able to honor the moonroof warranty unless that dealer also has a relationship with that aftermarket moonroof company. An auto manufacturer's warranty will not cover aftermarket items added to a vehicle, whether it be a moonroof, special wheels, window tinting, etc. Factory approved accessories however are typically be covered by the auto manufacturer's new car warranty.
  17. As I understand your description, water is not getting into the interior of the vehicle. If that is correct, than yes, what you are seeing is how moonroofs are supposed to work. Water will seep through the gaps between the glass and metal. From there it is trapped by the sills which leads to drains which empties the water. That's how all moonroofs are designed to work.

  19. I'm glad that worked. The message for the brakes is likely due to the parking brake being set at the time of the VHR. I believe you will get that message unless the parking brake is disengaged.
  20. Yes, it works on the phone with iOS7 but not the iPad with iOS7 In general, I've found that iOS7 is very laggy with unexplained slowdowns that weren't present on iOS6. It doesn't seem to affect MFT though.
  21. If you log into your account on support.ford.com, the MFT version on file for your vehicle is displayed on the lower right side of the page. Your SYNC SYNC with MyFord Touch Gen2 - V3.6.2 If you upgraded and don't see V3.6.2 on the website then you need to update the database. The easiest way to do this is via a Vehicle Health Report. The fastest/easiest way to conduct a VHR is: Press SYNC button and say "Vehicle Health Report." No other action is required. Sync takes care of the rest and will update the database with the MFT version you are using. You can also run a VHR via the Settings (gears icon) then <Vehicle> then <Vehicle Health Report>.
  22. I upgraded last week. The phone automatically paired without my involvement. Bluetooth audio plays iTunes Radio. The texting works the same, inbound texts are announced, read and saved in MFT. Apple's MAP still doesn't allow outgoing messages via MFT. I was hoping Apple would have come into compliance with the MAP standard with iOS7.
  23. What I've noticed for me is the trip has to be in EV mode >90% of the trip to get a score in the 90s. For example: EV Miles: 28.6 EV: 100% Brake Score 99% MPG: 999 Regen: 8.2 miles Score: 97
  24. I noticed this too. I'm glad to see that the engine is gradually brought up to operating temperature rather than going immediately from a cold state to a high demand state.
