bernieb Posted June 13, 2014 at 10:02 PM Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 at 10:02 PM I see the Grade Assist warning light on, and I have no idea how I turned it on. And there is nothing in the owners manual about how to turn it off. The only reference in the manual is on page 83, which tells me that the light is illuminated when the assist function is turned on. How do I turn it off? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bernieb Posted June 13, 2014 at 10:25 PM Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 at 10:25 PM Never mind. It seems the owners manual I was provided with was obsolete. Version 2 shows how to turn the function on and off. The Ford website does provide a link to the manual, so the PDF version I have now will have to replace the book in the glove compartment.

howardbc Posted June 14, 2014 at 12:22 AM Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 at 12:22 AM Hi, bernieb. Glad you found out it's just a button on the gear shift that is very easy to press by mistake. It is great for going down steep hills if you don't have NASCAR Ned on your bumper. But I wish there was a 2nd physical owner's manual. I keep one in the house and would like to have another one in the glove box. I am totally into PDFs and on-line manuals, but for the FFE sometimes it's easier to have an actual paper book. I've asked my Ford dealer about getting a 2nd manual and they made it sound like it was either very expensive (why??) and/or very difficult to obtain. Does anyone know where I could get another current owner's manual? I asked my sales person of course, but she wasn't very helpful/enthusiastic about finding another one. I also asked the dealer's expert on the Sync system and got the same response. I don't mind paying for a 2nd copy if it's not like $100+ which was what I was quoted.

howardbc Posted June 14, 2014 at 01:46 AM Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 at 01:46 AM Having a LOT of problems ordering. I order things on-line all the time but something's wrong with their software or whatever. I'll try calling them on Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howardbc Posted June 17, 2014 at 10:34 PM Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 at 10:34 PM I'm afraid I have a very bad impression of Helm Inc. I have tried twice to order an owner's manual for my car. Both times the helminc website's order software keeps asking me to re-enter what I already entered. (Grrr.) Obviously there is something wrong. I also tried calling their Customer Service number but it said they're closed and to call back. (That was a big help.) Terrible service. I will try to find the manual somewhere else and will welcome suggestions. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsamp Posted October 7, 2022 at 04:29 AM Report Share Posted October 7, 2022 at 04:29 AM It's the button on the side of the gear shift handle. You accidentally pressed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theterminator93 Posted October 7, 2022 at 07:45 PM Report Share Posted October 7, 2022 at 07:45 PM On the '17s and later, it's the button on the center console next to the EV mode switch - between the shift knob and arm rest, to the left of the cup holders.
