Thanks

When scrolling through settings, vehicle I find one item called SWITCH INHIBIT. This can either be on/off. Does anybody know what this does when on or off? I can't find an explanation in the manual and it is not listed in the index. Thanks for your help.

Thanks I your info and explanation of the EV miles was very helpful.

Picked up out car April 29th. Heading out for a 400 mile round trip this weekend so I decided to fill up the car for the 1st time. It had 1250 miles on odometer and took 10 gallons of fuel. Computer said 990 EV miles traveled out of the 1250 total. So 260 miles traveled on the ICE correct. I think we have done great so far utilizing the battery for most of our driving. How do most people interpret this information? Do I need to factor in regeneration miles also?

Looks like no option to purchase charger to install yourself or use your own electrician, so the $449 charger price is a little misleading. Correction : On the charger model page it states 3 year warranty with installation and 1 year without. So there may be a way to buy this without install.

When scrolling through the Remote Start options one of them is called Quiet Start. It is turned off by default. Does anyone know what this option does when enabled? Btw this is my 1st ford, have they always printed owners manuals on comic book paper?

Salesman told me my car's build date was moved up because someone with an earlier order decided to get one from dealer stock. I wonder who that was?

Car arrived at dealer yesterday 8 weeks and 1 day from order date. Picking up Monday morning!

My Window Sticker finally appeared this morning :woohoo: http://fordlabels.webview.biz/webviewhybrid/WindowSticker.aspx?vin=3FA6P0SUXDR285016

A must have option was adaptive cruise control and it is not available on the volt or the C Max. I have it on my Prius and use it all the time.

I have 2010 Prius with the Tech Package. We are keeping the Prius as we like the hatchback for the dog. Think the Energi will be a great compliment to the Prius.
