Not that i've noticed? But then, I am hard of hearing, so I am sure my hearing aids are not picking up everything? Will have to listen harder next time!!! LOL
Mine throw low heat when it stops on Auto Start/Stop, and heats up super quick when it starts up again. I know there's an electric heat is used at the start of the truck to warm the air up quickly on a cold start.
The smell was outside of the truck when I did the remote start the other night, and a few weeks ago, it was gone once we started moving.
I'll have to explore more later on when I am off on Monday, and look for the burn marks.
Last night as I was on the train, I did a remote start on my Ranger, and started it about 5 minutes before I got into the station.
As I got near my truck in the parking ramp, I smelled this hot rubber/tire smell, and I did a quick walk around my truck and didn't see/hear anything out of place...
Went to my in-laws on Sunday for Christmas, and was nice to see an increase in my mpg. Lately I've been avg 16mpg on my last 3 tanks, that is mostly short drive to work and back. On this trip, I was at 23 mpg, and the weather has warmed up too, in the lower 40's. This was mostly 68 mph...
It was set on Normal for the first few weeks, so I bumped it up to high and been there since. I honestly wasn't scared LOL . but then I don't get scared easy.
With almost 4k miles on my Ranger, My pre collision assist came on for the very first time today!
I was starting to wonder if it works or not at times! LOL .
Today, as I was driving, I was going to change lane as the car ahead of me was going slower. As I ready to make the the change...
I have no issues with the Auto Start/Stop. I never felt I was faced any danger, or other issues. As others has said, you'll get used to it, and learn how it works. As soon I start pulling my feet off the breaks, it's already started up by the time I am off the breaks, and touching...
No issues for me in Minnesota. We've had a couple below 0 days here, and I never looked to see if mine was full at the time I took delivery of my truck. I've used the wiper sprayer a few times, so I am guessing the dealer has topped it off, or Ford had it full from the factory,.
On my XL, I had the control turned off, and when I did a remote start in the summer, the A/C came on, and now the defrost/floor comes on high speed, and when I turn the key on, the it reset to what i had set before.
