Sacrilege for some, but I need to run my Mach-E through my local car wash today, since it’s coated with salt.
My local wash, owned by a friend, is new, having just opened recently. As such, rather than a single metal track with rollers, it uses a full-width, double-track plastic conveyer with plastic wedges on one side that move the car through the wash.
When a car drives onto the belt, you shift to N, and the front wheels do not turn, as the conveyer pulls the car. Until the car is fully on the conveyer, the rear wheels must freely turn.
My assumption is that I should shift into ’temporary neutral’ but turning the selector to N and then pressing the L button. Is this correct, and if so, can I leave the car ‘on’ during the wash?
You can see video of the conveyer on my friend’s website (which yours truly designed and coded for her). The conveyer can be seen about :20 into the video:
