I think setting the temperature knob to LO provides the "vent" feature you want as an "ECON" mode, JimB, by admitting outside air with no heating or cooling. Then the only energy consumed is for the fan itself, which the Accessories display says is about 0.1-0.3 kW depending on speed (and it...

I tried to do something simple on my new 2013 FFE and can't figure it out: enter a phone number and name it. I can see how to enter a number from History, but then not how to name who it is. I can see how to download my iPhone 5's phonebook, but won't be able to because it's too big (~8k...

My 2013 FFE uses a Ford SD card to enter the map database into the Navigation system. It works fine. However, to avoid tying up a USB port with a stick containing music (so I can play it with or without my iPhone), I wonder if it might be possible to copy the map database onto my own larger SD...

My 2013 FFE has a very large number of fuses in three boxes, eight current ratings, and several different physical sizes/types. I haven't yet opened the boxes to see if there are any in-place spares. If not, I'm inclined to keep in the glovebox a small set of spares for at least the kinds that...

Has anyone hooked up to the OBD-II port on a 2013 FFE (or even a 2012) to see if it shows anything interesting? My dealer says it would show fault codes but no other data not already available on the cabin displays; then again, he might be wrong.

I just achieved the identical setup -- really nifty and informative for us geeks -- by using the left steering-wheel five-way switches to set Display Mode, MyView, Options (with both Budget Text and Gauge boxes checked), Change MyView, Accessory Power, OK, Budget + Av, OK. This will display...

My 2013 FFE's indicated range is computed from my past 3 Ts (Technique, Terrain, and Temperature) based on the previous 20 charging sessions (fewer if some variable is changing rapidly). If I used much cabin heat, or Max Defrost (which turns on a/c and cabin heat and fan, all at max), the car...

SNOWTIRES: FFE's OEM tires perform poorly in more than a few inches of snow or on icy snowpack; my new 2013 FFE could barely get up my pretty gentle driveway slope at 7100' in the Rockies, even with traction control necessarily turned off. So I've ordered the very highly regarded Michelin Ice-X...

My 2013 FFE has one 12VDC power point front and one rear. It's unclear whether the 180W max power rating is for both together or either separately, so I'm conservatively assuming it's for both together unless told otherwise.

I just found the 2013 FFE owner's manual at http://www.motorcraftservice.com/pubs/content/~WODFEV/~MUS~LEN/41/13fevom1e.pdf

When I bought a 2013 FFE on 31 Dec 2012, the dealer told me TSB 12-8-20 applies only to 2012 vehicles and the issue has already been handled in all 2013s.
