Things you never knew your car did!

I'd hate that. The clutch is my preferred method to disengage cruise control. Can you at least turn that "feature" off?

I don't have a manual trans, but I have had some. Somehow, I can't seem to understand how cruise control works with a manual. Can't help but think it would be confusing driving.

Maybe he's talking about cars without the digital dash?

Must be. 401a on 18+ models always display the gear in all display modes afaik

Thanks - I would never have found that on my own... with the manual perhaps, but certainly not if I ever needed it...

True about other things as well. Keep the paper manual in the car and keep the digital one in your smart phone if you carry one.

My ford pass app has digital copy of the manual.as well as other documents

It's pretty easy. First you turn it on... Then once you get to a stable velocity you press set and then just have to steer.

It's like an intelligent throttle stop. Up until 2018 the clutch pedal acted just like the brake as far as cancelling, only the clutch doesn't display brake lights to the traffic behind you.

In my opinion, if you're shifting, there's no reason to use cruise control.

Thanks. That makes sense. All the stick cars I've owned never had cruise control.
Makes total sense that the clutch would deactivate cruise.

@TexasRebel That is exactly how it works in my 2005 Ford Focus.

The illuminated MUSTANG sill plates can change color. They are linked to the ambient lighting color setting. I thought this was a premium option but it came with my 301A package. It's the little things that mean the most.

I’m confused as hell lol when I change the color to red it does speedometer rpm etc and gauges. My door sill and other lighting stays blue. Any tips lol

Can you play Apple Music from the arm rest usb? I plug mine in there and the car doesn’t recognize it. It just charges it. But if I plug into the one by the shifter it connects and I can stream.

Most aftermarket cords don’t work. It takes the factory usb cord for most of us.

• There are 3 sections to choose colors for.one of them is door sills and console.its the last choice in my color section.i think it's called ambient,not sure.i have premium gt and don't know is all gts have it

 

[TexasRebel]

You need to change the ambient lighting color (foot wells, cupholders, door sills). There's also an option to dim them, but I'm not sure why anyone would want that...

Mainly it's so you can see out of the windows when it's dark outside. (Dark as in millions of visible stars, not just dark as in the sun is below the horizon.)

I finally found the gas tube used to fill the gas tank. It opens up both valves on the gas line to the gas tank. It's hidden in the trunk.

"primary color" and "secondary color" refer to the colors on the dash. The rest of the lighting in the cabin is called "ambient lighting" and has its own setting

Primary and Secondary is for cars with the digital gauge feature. Analog gauge Mycolor has "Gauge Color, Halo, Ambient Light".

Thanks for the photo - mine is missing, I guess that's why I couldn't find it.
