Mach-e RWD Extended Range - on order
Country flag
Hi, I am taking the Mach e abroad in a few weeks and have a couple of questions. Firstly, I believe my car (RWD ER +tech pack), doesn't have adaptive headlights, so I will need to put a sticker on the headlights? I tried Ford on the support message service, and was told I don't need to do anything (which I don't believe), however looking at the glass on the headlights there are no markings, so its hard to work out where to put the stickers, has anyone got to the bottom of this?

Secondly, after reading threads, as I am going on the ferry, my best bet is to ignore the "disable motion sensors" thingy in sync (as it doesn't work), and wait until the ferry has started to move then unlock the car via the app, and consequently lock it via the app as we are docking (as the car deck will still be locked). Is this still the best advice?

Thanks in advance.

I've not had an issue disabling the sensor when prompted and I have to leave the dog in the car. When I forget the alarm goes off when I click YES the alarm doesn't go off, seems to work for me. Also, you will have the Matrix headlights on an ER car, so just need to amend the auto high beam settings in Sync screen.
