  1. Ah, yes, pretty obvious, thanks as expected the sticker suggests 35psi.
  2. Quick aside: What psi are people using for their 21” tires? The car came with 40psi, but the phone app says 35psi is recommended. However, I’m not sure if the app is smart enough to know my vehicle has 18, 20, or 21 inch rims. A quick check online ranges from 35-45!
  3. Wow. Any idea how this got past QC? Sounds like a lot of leaks!
  4. This appears to be the case as you say, @Perblue. That said, the Ford website must be mid-representing the actual config, because the “Build it” tool does say adaptive LED Headlights:
  5. @blitz118, can you confirm that you have a US model vehicle? I've heard elsewhere that US models don't have this feature (even though the website + manual suggest it as part of the 401A package). Thanks @bmwta. I suppose it's possible US cars don't get this feature. If not, no big deal; I just wanted to run the car through its paces to make sure everything works as I understand them. The car is brand new, but I'll try some compressed air to see if there is something wedged between the bezel and the button housing. That sounds about right from my experience, thought I've never owned a Turbo-ed vehicle before (except for an early 90's RX-7, but that was used).
  6. Thanks guys. I did perform an extensive test last night, including starting the car facing a light-colored wall (garage door) and actual driving along a windy road with no street lights. I did not notice any flashes/movement/etc from the headlights. It’s possible that it is extremely subtle and I just can’t notice it, but if so what’s the point? I’ll try again tonight to confirm.
  7. Thanks for the heads up! Will ensure my maintenance plan is put to good use
  8. I’ve had my blue ST for less than 48 hours after seeing it on the lot from a simple walk-in with no reservations (guess I was lucky). Coming from a 2007 Accord. The only thing I’m second-guessing is the maintenance plan and extended warranty (the dealer sold me MPP and not a Ford Warranty). There is so much tech on this thing that I’m seriously overwhelmed! Several questions: 1. For the life of me, I cannot figure out how to enable these “adaptive LED Headlights”. I have the 401A package, but apparently no dynamic headlights. Any ideas? I tried enabling/disabling automatic headlights, fog lights, high-beams, etc. no different. I don’t even see a calibration during start-up, leading me to believe the US cars don’t have this feature. 2. One of my steering wheel buttons is sticky. I have to pry in order to depress it, after pressing it down. I suppose it may “break in”, but perhaps the sooner I work with the dealership the better chance I have for a fix... 3. Break in. Do these turbo engines require an extended break-in period? Is it any different than a normally aspirated engine, if so?
