Don`t know if it would be related (at least shouldn't be), my 2011 MKX is Kona Blue, basically a dark blue or Navy blue. The problem is its one of the weakest paints I've encountered. Don't know if that is correct term to use, but it is easily scratched. And any ding by any other car (door) will always cause my car to scratch & the blue color to transfer to the other car.

If you are getting the warnings at longer distances than specified in the manual, you should get them checked by you dealer. Perhaps a reprogram might be needed.

As per the owner's manual, it will only blink if you turn on the blinker while the BLIS is detecting a vehicle. 2011-2014 model, BLIS did not blink with the signal, so it is an improvement.

TheWizard, +1 I did the same mod to my old Taurus. The difference was noticeable. Brighter & whiter light, though their life was about 12-18 months for me. Keep a spare in the vehicle.

@WWWPerfA_ZN0W, Would you have a PDF or complete version? Was taking a look at the throttle body if it needs cleaning & found a lot of oil in the intake tube.

From my own experience, the ATP carbon filter is much more restrictive than the factory filter. In hot climate, for me at least, it makes a big difference with cooling. The stock Motorcraft filter will allow much better air flow & cooling of the interior with the A/C. I wrote my experience in posts 6 & 9 here.

Checking spare parts, the front coil springs are the same for all models including Limited & Sport. The difference is between FWD & AWD models. So if both your cars are FWD or AWD, then they should fine. It is the struts that are different to accommodate the 22" wheels. http://www.tascaparts.com/ford/edge/bt4z5310f/2011-year/sport-trim/3-7l-v6-gas-engine/front-suspension-cat/front-suspension-scat/?part_name=coil-spring

As far as I know, the seat back will never cool as much as the seat bottom. I suggest you repeat the test but keep one seat off (passenger or driver) and then compare the 2 sides. Remember that the seat bottom is open & more ventilated, hence will be more effective in cooling. The seat back is confined without sufficient ventilation as the back faces rear passengers.

Hi Stef, I am also in Qatar. The driver's door jamb should have the tire size & recommended inflation pressure. You might have missed it due to all the info written on it. Edit: I recheck mine &now I get why you didn't find it. The word "tire pressure" are in Arabic only. Look for the tire size, which I believe should be P265/40R22 Under it would be the rim size, 20X something, then under it AT space 35. The 35 being the tire pressure. They would be listed twice, for front & back.

Thanks for the FAQ,but of experience on my 2011 MKX & a close friend's 2013 Explorer here where we probably get the most extreme high temps in the summer, the IOLM was always consistent at 50% life after 5000 miles or 6 months. Even Ford recommends going to the 6 month 5k mile interval instead of just stating to follow the supposedly "smart" IOLM. It even surprises me how they don't even bother them selves in programming the IOLM in cars exported to our region for their recommended 5k/6-month intervals. Moral of the story, don't trust the intelligent part of the IOLM & use it as a simple meter. Want 5k intervals? Go for 50%. 4k 40%. And so on.

The Edge also offered a similar appearance package, maybe on the 2013-2014 Edge SEL: http://ahotop.com/images/ford-edge-2014-interior-3.jpg http://www.mikekukielka.com/gallery/d/68270-1/Ford+Edge+SEL+Appearance+Package.jpg

I have been using these Philips led backup leds for a while on my MKX and am very happy with them. They have that bluish factory LED look like factory LED revers lights & do in fact illuminate the back brighter while reversing. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00P2D41OQ/ref=psd_mlt_bc_B00P2D41OQ

Of course handling will be worse, even without anything else being damaged. Going from 40 series wide tires to 65-series tires will make feel like the car is a bit sloppy with slower wheel reaction in turns. Don't forget also that you selected size is both narrower & higher than stock 18" tires (245/60/18 stock vs. 235/65/18).

@Picturepro, forgot all about the ES300 Hybrid!

ES300 means it is a pre 2007 or 2005 model, right? If so, Lexus/Toyota did not have cooled/heated seats, only ventilated/heated seats. My father's 2013 ES350 also has cooled/heated seats, compared to my MKX, the Lexus seats are nosier & less cold.

I don't use an iPhone, with Android you can add your car's Bluetooth (Sync) as a trusted device & hence it would unlock if connected to it & lock when disconnect. Maybe there is something similar with the iPhone.

Original 18" tire size is 245/60 R18. But the size you selected is a little closer (in diameter) to the Sport 22" tire (265/40/22). http://www.1010tires.com/Tools/Tire-Size-Calculator

Not sure if this also applies to the 2015, but 2011-2014 (& 2011-2015 Explorer) with projector headlights (high & low beams that work through moving shield) work this way: If it were a halogen bulb, pulling the turn signal stalk (flash to pass) during day light (headlights off) will cause the high beams (bulb+sheild) to turn on for as long as you pull the stalk.For HID bulbs, during daytime (headlights off), pulling the stalk (flash to pass) will cause the high beams (HID bulb+sheild) to turn on for about 1 second regardless of how long (or short) you pull the stalk. Seems to be kind of a protection method to let the HID bulb work for a specific amount of time. It is understandable to have a minimum run time for protection, but it is annoying because you cant keep the high beams on for a longer time (like a long flash to pass).

As far as I know, the fog lights (on 2007-2010 Edge & 2007-2015 MKX) have glass lenses. Restoration kits are for plastic lenses. If does work for you, please tell us.

We still didn't receive the new Edge. We'll probably going to get it as a 2016, skipping 2015 all together. I have a 2011 MKX which I'm seriously considering to trade up (or down?) to the 2016 Edge Sport. Still waiting for it to be launched here & know the final prices. Usually they really mark them up considerably.

@Vadimus, Might have been a mid 2015 model change that was reflected as a new feature for 2016. Here are the specs for a March build Titanium with 301/302 package:

Those with 2015 Edges, just a heads-up in case you didn't know, the factory remote start is actually 2-way, once the Engine starts, the led on the remote will turn to solid green to notify you that the engine is on. Check the "Remote Control Feedback" section for details.

Another design point of view might be because the 2.0L is weaker, so at highway speeds the wind drag have higher effect than on the more powerful V6. Also, as far as I know, the transmission on the 2.0 has different ratios, so the slightly reduced drag at highway speed has a bigger impact on the 2.0 (with its tranny ratios) than on the 3.5/2.7L with their transmission ratios.

As per the 2016 Order Guide, the side front row is a new addition for 2016 on Titanium & Sport. The Acoustic Windshield is now also standard on the SE for 2016 (meaning for 2016 all models get it as standard).

@mjonis, just some notes: The Edge can be equipped with remote start via smartphone. Sync3 is not confirmed to get Android Auto and/or Apple CarPlay. It is being said that it will, but unless you find a clear statement from Ford that Sync3 will include them or that it will be updated to include them, don't count on it. If you are considering the V6 Murano, did you consider the V6 SantaFe & Edge? Did you check the Kia Sonata? It is based on the same SantaFe platform (AFAIK).
