What does this orange icon mean

[Mike G]

Just thinking about this now, but shouldn't that snowflake be blue? An orange snowflake says to me, my car has the power to melt snow and ice on the road ahead as I drive.

My car can totally do that by the way. ?

Warnings generally are orange colored. Wait...you were joking though...sorry... I thought you were serious there for a minute.

This icon started showing up recently but I've not been able to find it I the manual.
I think it means slippery road but 2 out of the 3 times it's shown up the roads and weather were great. No rain, snow or sleet in th forecast.

The first time it was raining and a little cold

Thanks

Hey, those aren't the same! Top one is 5 sides. Bottom one is SIX sided! Is that like... heavier snow then?

Or the graphics person on the owner's manual team had too much Red Bull that day?

More like the graphics team who did the owner’s manual are actually competent and it has never snowed in whichever 3rd world country Ford outsources the IP software graphics design to ?

I see you are also impacted by the massive jail bars issue. Do yours go away as you drive, or do they stay?

Once my cold temp jail bars are there, I have not seen them go away during my normal drives of 30 miles (30-45 minutes). Seems like once the batteries are cold soaked, there's no coming out of it for an extended amount of time, longer than I normally drive anyway.

Wish I would have known about this as well as the 5 second power cut, high speed power cut, and higher temp/track day driving power cut of 50% or more even when power mode is set to "Embridelded Extend".

This is my first and very last Ford product.

Keep your '23 model until they start offering $20k+ off of the '24 model GTs next year. Then you can get an even faster car without the 5 second penalty.

Unfortunately this is not the normal behavior, it’s the result of bug in a software update. Before that update the jail bars would be there when you started the car, but then they would gradually go away while you’re driving. Now, when it’s really cold they get stuck. I’ve reported the issue, who knows if it’s going to be fixed, or if our cars will get that fix.

Sounds like someone didn't do their research.
