I'll see what I can figure out about AdvanceTrac; don't see anything about how to disable it in the manual, so I'll have to get my hands dirty and click some screens, haha. All in all I love this little car, but man oh man do I long for the days when the most annoying thing about newfangled...

Right above the previous owners manual info: Sounds like you can turn the sensitivity down and the setting is remembered, but you have to go in and disable active braking every time you start the car, and it's not as simple as the conveniently placed Start Stop button. I should've screenshot...

I see that, but the question is whether or not the radar sensor, listed in the owner's manual as "optional" exists on the Base model. I don't like out-of-context quotes from unverifiable sources, but I found this on the Ranger 5g forum: edit: just found this in the Owners Manual, suggesting...

Also, I noticed the entry in the manual, and I referenced it in the OP... my question should've been 'does the base model have the radar sensor?'

I'm sorry if my point was unclear; I wish the car didn't HAVE pre-collision assist. I bought a Base model to avoid as much 'tech' as possible. I've disabled lane-keeping and diligently turn off Auto Start Stop, but I'm stuck with this, at least at the lowest sensitivity. When I said I didn't...

I'm following here as well...

I get a warning that Pre-Collision assist won't work because the Radar Sensor is obstructed on frosty mornings. I'm not clear on where the sensor is. The owners manual shows a camera in the windshield and an OPTIONAL radar sensor in the front end. Being that my car is a base I was presuming to...

The throttling idea is my thought, too. My Base model's download was 3.2Gb though...

Well that explains both of my issues. I finally got the download to work this morning; I'll be installing this evening. Thanks everybody!

I do... It seems to be a network issue at home. I'll sort it out ?️

I'm on PC. The issue is with the zip file download itself. It gets partially downloaded to my PC and then errors out.

Nope; I'm connected to my home WiFi. I can't get the USB update download to finish correctly, so I'm SOL for now.

Any idea why the update doesn't take? If I run my vin on the website it says that I'm eligible for the new version, but when I run the auto update it says I'm up to date... With 20136...

This is my first car with LED lighting. I see that extended warranties tend to cover bulb replacement. I understand that LED bulbs cost more than standard Incandescent, but can anyone with experience enlighten me as to what sort of expense we'd be talking?

Yeah... My dealership was at least up front and honest about what they could do... That's shifty business you got there ?

I got mine cancelled. Rather than refunding the previous warranty with a check they're going to credit the money (sans sales tax of course,) toward my loan, which will enable me to pay the loan off 5 months earlier than previously expected... I'm going to make a call to my mechanic on Monday to...

It needs to be common knowledge that manufacturer's extended warranties don't have to be signed off on before purchase. I came back to Ford from Honda because of a lying finance department when I bought my wife's Certified Fit. This doesn't make me feel great. I paid $2500 for a PremiumCARE...

I ended up having Woolwax applied. The process was simple enough that I'm just going to do it myself going forward, and I don't have to worry as much about rock chips removing the coating.

Chances are it's stuff burning off of the exhaust. Mine did this for the first week or so, but only when it got nice and hot. I'm at 500 miles now and it's gone.

Anybody in the rust belt have ideas or recommendations for rust protection? I finally crawled under my Base tonight and noticed that there is a great deal of relatively soft cladding underneath. I was planning on taking it to a shop tomorrow to have it WoolWax treated (at 220 miles it hasn't...
