Like what @Haz mentioned, the Battery Saver will NOT turn off the Parking lights if they were left on. I inadvertently left mine on one day & they stayed on for more than an hour before I realized they are still on (I recall older Fords did turn them off). Apparently its the same for the 2011+ Explorer, but I did notice that it was mentioned in the Owners Manual for the 2012 Explorer, but removed from the 2013!! On a personal note, it makes more sense for them to stay on. In a normal situation, you usually have the headlights on which, if forgotten on, will be turned off (complete with the parking lights). Also, intentionally keeping the parking lights on for safety, such as leaving the car on the side of the road, with the parking lights remaining on, is far more important than saving the battery from fully discharging (similar to the Hazard flashers).

Next time you fill up, reset the trip computer & check fuel used to compare it in the next refill. In my MKX, it typically takes between 17-19 gallons when it is empty.

Two way communication, with long range, remote start is available as a Ford OEM "Plug & Play" accessory. This one is specific to the Edge with "Push Button start". Also, for your information, the 2013+ Fusion (as an option) & standard on the 2013+ MKZ both have two way communication remote start from the factory. The remotes even have 2 batteries, apparently for the extra function. So it seems the feature will gradually come to most cars.

Nope. It does not sound correct. But would you first clarify what "stock" remote start the car has? These are stock for a 2012 Edge: http://assets.forddirect.fordvehicles.com/assets/ACCS/images/oe_rem_start_keylg-20110926184145_500x370.jpg http://imagehost.vendio.com/a/27892917/aview/M3N5WY86095BTNWKEYSINGLE.jpg

Bad news! http://ces.cnet.com/8301-35289_1-57616498/ford-adding-app-integration-to-3.4-million-cars/ But it does mean that 2011-2014 Edge with the basic MyFord (non-touch) would get the Applink upgrade.

I remember some saying it was NOT there, while others have it. I guess your best bet is to look yourself to find out if there is a wire.

It will amaze you the amount of information available in the owners manual. All Ford vehicles I have seen have had the bulb replacement charts in their owners manual, the oldest for me anyway was a 1989 Grand Marques. But kudos for pointing out the puddle light bulbs, I just don't get why is it a sealed enclosure, while there is a 31mm festoon bulb inside it.

What speed? AWD or FWD?

Unknown Dashboard Light Warning
omar302 replied to baespey's topic in Interior, A.C., Heat, Interior Trim
Read the Owners Manual? In the instrument Cluster, under Settings>Driver Assist>Traction Control select Off. But the default setting is "On". So every time you start the vehicle, it will be on. -
Just go with Ford's recommended Motorcraft oil. The 2011+ have the intelligent oil life monitor and as per the manual, depending on the driving conditions, you could get up to 10,000 miles per change (or a year, whichever comes first).It might not be a year for you, but it's close.

The Limted is the more luxurious version, it has more features not available on the sport, such HID lights. It also seems that the 2014 Sport doesn't have the Adaptive cruise control as an option anymore. But the Sport does have the larger engine, 3.7 vs 3.5 litres. It's not so much more powerful, but is an upgrade. If you interested in the sport for the looks, you can get the wheels, grille & side skirts, which will give 90% of the sport's looks.

Headlight issues. One loe beam out rest work
omar302 replied to Eddieandkat's topic in 2010 Edge & MKX
Yes. Non HID Edge/MKX, 2011+, also use a single bulb and projector. -
Headlight issues. One loe beam out rest work
omar302 replied to Eddieandkat's topic in 2010 Edge & MKX
For the Edge/MKX, it's one fuse fuse for each low beam (2 fuses together) and one for both high beams together. Actually, for the projector system in the Edge, the high beam fuse is probably only for the solenoids that move the shield. The light bulb itself & it's illumination is the same for low & high beams. -

Its been like that for the last 10-15 years, I remember it on a 1999 Mercury Sable my parents had. In the old days, it used to be a circuit breaker that protected the headlights. Then they switched to fuses, one for each side, apparently so that you don't lose both your headlights at the same time. -
Sorry, I meant buttons on the screen, just like the photo you posted.

I think you are mixing up between us & imperial gollons in your calculation. Your mileage is actually less in mpg:For example, 12.72 l/100 km is equal to 18.49 mpg.

I heard some in Saudi Arabia with Limited 2013 or 2012 models actually didn't have the "Heat" buttons for the front seats. Apparently they removed them since you don't need them most of the year. Thankfully, the cooled/heated seats & steering wheel are working in my car!
