I hope this turns out better than it sounds in the description. I want to see those ponies when i approach or depart everytime. If it’s dependent upon fold state (as stated) not sure what to expect, but i’m still reading.
In my 2012 Focus ST, I used the rear 12 V outlet for a dash cam and that was active for about 30 minutes after turning off the car and would reset the timer if you took any action. So if you opened or unlocked the doors it would reapply power. It was actually quite annoying to figure that out with trial and error. Because I was sure the device was losing power, but I'd go back to check on it by unlocking the car with the remote and when I looked, it was powered again! I had to cheat the next time and just look through the windows.
150 lb/ft for the lug nuts? That's a lot more torque than any other car I've owned. I guess they really don't want those wheels to come off!
I am very curious as well. Our C-Max Energi has two such modes.....there is "L" and also a grade assist button on the shift handle. "L" has a fair amount of regen but that other button is very effective. My Focus Electric only has the L and does not have the other button so that makes me think it might be because the Energi can't handle max regen (due to smaller, air cooled battery).
150 lb/ft is correct. This is a heavy car.
My Lincoln has both the Adaptive Cruise and Speed Sign recognition. Both work extremely well in mountains, flatland, day, and night. I especially like how a little speed limit sign appears on the speedometer display. Not sure if the MME will have the little speed limit sign on the driver display, but it is great on unfamiliar roads. I know instantly how big the speeding ticket is going to be.

If the studs are class 10.9 then that is the correct torque. If the studs are class 8.8 then someone in the manuals department confused Nm for foot pounds. 150 Nm is the correct torque rating for M14x1.5 class 8.8 bolts. What worries me is that they also have a pretty big typo elsewhere in the Mach-e specs, (Not in the owner's manual) specifying 18" brake rotors on 18" wheels, which of course is physically impossible. Personally, I would check the wheel stud for the class marking before I torqued the wheel to 150 LB/ft.
Exactly. If they are going to do OTAs, a printed manual makes no sense.
How I see it is with one pedal driving, the more you depress the accel pedal, the more you will brake.Note the text on the "L" drive selection on the PRNDL:
So when 1-pedal mode is on shifting to "L" does nothing.
1 pedal mode re-maps the accelerator pedal position sensor to negative-zero-positive. So the more the pedal is depressed the more it accelerates. Hold steady=steady speed. Lift off has negative acceleration (braking).
