Fascinating. I wonder if your settings go to the insurance company or the police if you get into an accident.
Goes to the police, yes.

It is transmitted directly to the NSA via your cell phone using a backend Bluetooth uplink. If the data goes uncollected because your phone was off or not with you, there is a white van marked as "flower delivery" that will pass by and download your entire driving history. Make sure you don't leave your wallet in the car or they will RFID your credit card info and charge you for the service.

Uh, guys? You know about the Enhanced 911 feature implemented on the 2015 Mustang, right? Where it automatacilly calls 911 and provides them information in the event of an accident?

The enhancements will provide the ability to deliver information such as the maximum change in velocity during impact, indication of crash type (front, side, rear or rollover), safety belt usage as detected by the vehicle, awareness of whether multiple impacts occurred and whether airbags were deployed.

OK, when you press the Traction Control toggle quickly, the information display tells you in large letters that the TC is off. Shortly after that, you'll see the small TC icon at the bottom of the display.

When you hold the Traction Control switch for 5 seconds or so, the information display tells you that the AdvanceTrac is off. Then shortly after that, you'll see the small TC icon at the bottom of the display. You have no indication if only the TC is disabled or if the AdvanceTrac is also disabled.

I mention this because my Bimmer had an icon to remind you if ALL the nannies were disabled.

I have a manual EB Premium and the different modes definately change the throttle mapping.

Going from Normal to Sport+ you actually feel a momentary change in the throttle and it will also change the steering to sport if it's not already in sport. In sport+ there is much more change in the actual throttle for a giving amount of change in the pedal (ie; more responsive). You can spin the tires a lot more before the traction control kicks in and the stability control let's the fish tail more.

Going from Normal to Track is the same but you have even less intervention from traction control and stability control. I don't notice any difference in throttle response between sport and track.

Going from Normal to Snow/Wet makes a very dramatic change in throttle response you have to move the pedal alot for the engine to respond. On slippery surfaces the traction control and stability control will only allow gas to be fed to the engine if the available traction allows the car to accelerate. You can almost floor it and it will just slowly pull away. With the winter we have been having I have used this mode the most.

The driving modes reset back to normal each time you start the car. But the steering feel will stay in what ever mode you set it in on restart.

Appreciate the comments, but it sounds like you have the toggles, hence your ability to select track and snow modes. I agree with what you're saying, but what I was specifically asking was of those who don't have the toggles and merely use the traction control button.

I'm going to edit that post now so there isn't anymore confusion. I have the toggles and know the effects are noticeable, which is why I'm hoping someone with the base IP can see if that's the case with theirs too.

Unless you turn it off :) it's one of the settings. I think it even asked permission before activating iirc.

Question about the EB models only:

Are the toggle switches available with a 6spd manual trans (if upgrading to the Premium Package) - and on same note, are the paddle shifters on steering wheel avail w/6spd manual (or auto trans only)?

I've been searching and even went onto Ford's site to "build", and there's nothing that is providing any clarity to the above.....

Thanks!!

Yep, and I initially intended on leaving it off.

Until I realized that that would mean that every time I turned the car on, I had to get rid of the warnings on the touch screen asking if I'm really super-duper sure that I wanted to leave enhanced 911 off, and then a warning notification that it wasn't off. For whatever reason it annoyed me enough that I turned it on.

If I remember correctly, toggle switches on all Premiums, Paddle shifters only on Automatics.

In all seriousness, if you had a manual transmission, what would you be using the paddle shifters for?

They are talking about paddle shifters on manual transmissions.
