Brake Coach not working

[Kangio]

Seems like another one of many software issues, but haven‘t seen others comment on the Brake Coach. I had it working originally, then suddenly stopped. Verified that the setting Is still toggled on. Also toggled off/on several times, but just doesn’t want to enable again. Anyone else experience this. I realize it is not a.critical feature (would love to get my PAAK working again!) but curious if I am alone on this issue.

Nope, me too. Drove home from dealer with it on and working fine, then the icon just stopped appearing some days later. To be honest, I didn't notice for a few days -- I'll try mucking around with it again at some point in future.

For me it works in engage but not in unbridled. I dont know for whisper as I never drive in that mode...

Interesting...I did switch out of engage. Will try again and see if that “engages” the brake coach again

I haven't tried to pin it down, but I seem to notice it sometimes but not every time.

Mine has been hit or miss as well. For a while it only showed one time. Then after a few weeks it suddenly started showing every time.

I only see it in Engage.

Like others have said - doesn't work in Unbridled, not sure why.

In Engage (never use Whisper) I almost always see it pop up.

Maybe thats why I didn't see it initially. I started in unbridled. Then went to engage for a few weeks and noticed it always showed there. And now I'm in whisper mode and I don't think I've seen it on there either.

Same for me, I only see it in Engage driving mode. I don't plan to use it anyways so I have mine turned off.

Yes, Ford has stated that the brake coach is available in Engage mode, so this is by design. Why? I have no idea. Maybe the same reason the bar graph for battery remaining instead of the percentage is only available in Engage mode.

Perhaps it's because unbridled encourages inefficient behavior? Vrooom, vrooom (or should that be whirrr, whirrr?).

"if you're not going to be an Engaged driver, we're not gonna waste the CPU cycles drawing the brake coach" ?

I personally like the brake coach!

It makes stopping a fun game now!

Gamification is one of the things much harder in the Mach-E than in the Fusion because you can't get a live full time coach. ?
