I always try and fill up with non-ethanol fuel. The fuel will last MUCH, MUCH longer, and you will get about 15 to 20% better gas mileage. I am not sure if there are any rubber or plastic parts in the fuel system, and I suppose there is, if so the non-ethanol fuel will save that from falling apart as well. Ethanol is pure garbage and very destructive.

Thanks for the source! EXCEPT THAT!!!!! I live in Florida, and apparently Florida bans online car insurance from these companies or they are not licensed to sell in Florida....... Grrrrr!!! So I was wondering if I used an out of state address to purchase the policy???. Has anyone moved into Florida and transferred their warranty?

Got the car back last night! Fuel door fixed! BUT Collision Avoidance system does mot work. The incompetent dealer tells me that it only works when the cruise control is engaged, and that I had the setting on "Highest sensitivity" which means it won't warn you unless you crash and I should set it to "LOW" to have more warning. I am tired of battling with them, it is just pointless. After watching numerous videos of people's dash cams demonstrating how sensitive the system is and false alarms, I wonder if in the latest batch of cars, Ford calibrated the sensor so low to drown out false alarms that it just disabled mine?? If anyone has a service manual that may show any calibration procedures etc.. I would love to know!

Well hopefully I will be able to turn in my crappy rental today, dealer says the fuel door is finally fixed (7 days) and they were just working on the "min fan" and "max fan" command which as I just read from a posting above from Energized, the Fusion Energi just does not have like the other Fords. Apparently neither Ford or the dealer knows this so they are still trying to figure it out with their tech hot line. I will just let them work on it till I pick it up tonight :)

Great! Well sort of, they are documented sync commands, but I guess they left them out for the Fusion Energi. Even the Ford Sync hotline says they are there. Thanks for helping me by letting me know that Ford left out this command. they had me do a master reboot twice to try to resolve, had to re pair my phones etc... all for nothing!

Yes, the lights come on for a quick second when you start the car, I really have only driven the car a few days and it is still in the shop for a fuel door light, hopefully I will get it back Tuesday. Perhaps as some have said it is difficult to trick, I have gone speeding up behind cars real close like an idiot where I would have thought it would activate and it did not. I will just give it a little longer to see if it works after they reset the check engine light. If anyone has a chance, can someone please see if the "min fan" or "max fan" command works on their climate system for me?

Ford service told me that since I did not purchase a extended warranty they would not provide a rental, too bad the car is only one week old! I asked again stating that the delay was caused by them ordering the wrong part to have some consideration for me not having my car for three days to give me a loaner for just one day, service manager said "no". I guess this is a policy of AutoNation Fort Lauderdale - at the end of the day I called AutoNation Ford in Margate and they were appalled and said if AutoNation Fort Lauderdale would not provide one they would have one driven over to me themselves, they then called up Fort Lauderdale service for me and got me a rental. So, lesson learned - if you live in South Florida, skip AutoNation Fort Lauderdale if you have a choice. Big thumbs up for AutoNation Margate! We shall see how today goes.. If anyone can verify my climate command for me in their vehicle, I would sure appreciate it! :)

Well tomorrow is day 3 in the shop with no rental provided, apparently the parts clerk ordered the wrong part for the fuel door so hopefully the correct one will come in tomorrow, the tech said that the active collision only works with cruise control turned on, obviously he or she needs to go back to Ford School or at least read the manual. Also, it seems like Ford may have removed the "Min fan" and "Max Fan" sync command from the latest software my car has, although the ford sync hotline says no, the dealer says it is not listed on the on-screen help so it must be gone... off to a bad start... hopefully this is not a sign of things to come.

Great! thanks for the Graphic!!! As my collision warning is apparently not working it is good to know that there is a way to validate that the ACC is!

New FFE 2014 owner - delivered with latest software as of 7/1/2014 Can anyone confirm that the: "Climate" pause "Min Fan" and "Climate" pause "Max Fan" commands work - my FFE responds with "Setting Max/min temperature" I am american and speak clear English so any accents are not an issue.. Thanks!

Thanks for all the help! The car is going into the dealer today, there is no way the collision warning is working, I have watched several videos showing it in use and mine does not work as illustrated or at all. Maybe having the service engine light on disables the warning for some reason or mistake. I am also still looking for the "U" icon to show adaptive cruise control is engaged. On another note: if anyone has figured out how to disable the front and rear parking sensor dialog (asking to turn on or off) from popping in the dash display up each time it is activated, it would be appreciated.

Hello to all !! I recently received my new 2014 FFE, equipped with all the bells and whistles and have a few questions I know people here can help me with. So far, after three days of driving I love the car; however, quality may not have been job #1 on my Ford so I have a few kinks to work out. Only minutes after leaving the dealer the "close fuel door" light came on, with the door clearly closed. I fiddled with the switch in the fuel door compartment and opened and shut it a dozen times, but obviously I must have a bad door sensor. Now my service engine light is on, and the close fuel door message has to be cleared before each drive. Also with the SEL on the remote start is disabled. anyhow, she is going to the local dealer this week for hopefully a quick fix. On to my other questions: 1. I tried the adaptive cruise control and it seems to work; however, I was wondering if there was an indicator anywhere to confirm that the radar was active and tracking??? I see the white bars, but it sure would be nice if they turned green or something to let me know the car is actively tracking a vehicle....??? 2. My car is also outfitted with the active collision warning system with the red bars on the dash. I have set the sensitivity to high and watched a half dozen videos on how it function, but cannot seem to get mine to prove to me that it is working.... I have the setting turned to "on" and the sensitivity set to "highest" but still no go. I have even tried speeding up to and directly behind a vehicle parked on the side of the road, and I have swerved pretty darn close and no alarm??? How far away does the collision object have to be to set off the alarm??? Mine is useless.... Could it be disabled like the remote start due to the SEL??? I don't know if I should mention it to the dealer if this is just the way it is? 3. EV Mode: when I set the EV mode to "Auto" - "EV" is still displayed in the left dash monitor.. Simple Logic would make me think it should display "Auto" That's all for now - thanks for any pointers!

Great news! thank you for chiming in! I was alarmed to have read this in the manual, I guess Ford just did not proof that page, it really would not make sense if they turned off when the engine was not running, it would defeat my purpose! Thanks Again

I am ordering a FFE and living in Florida, the ventilated / cooled seats seemed like a worthy option, especially if I could turn them on during pre-conditioning. During my research I downloaded the 2014 owners manual, which apparently is a combo manual for both the Energi and the Hybrid - so perhaps there is a supplement for the Energi that I don't have, the manual states on pg 127 that the engine must be on and running with at least 350 RPM or the seat ventilation will turn off. If this is true this would defeat my purpose for ordering this seat ventilation option as I plan on most of my driving being accomplished in EV only mode. Any input, conformation or correction is appreciated!

Same thing is happening to me - although mine is still in the delivery process. The online window sticker has changed so I assume when the car arrives Friday the sticker will have been replaced. I went to the Ford website and it said rebates for 2014 models, but I assume we will be cut out. Please post if you learn differently.
