  1. It's a C segment car, that means it's around the same size a Focus, Golf or Corolla. Ford used this naming convention for many of its Euro minivans. There was a B-Max based on the Fiesta. They also had the larger Galaxy based on the Mondeo/Fusion. There was a sportier "coupe" version of that called the S-Max, presumably because it's sporty. Either of those should've been the E-Max.

  2. This message will only appear if the vehicle feels the battery is at low enough health to warrant shutting off the radio that early after key-off. Nothing directly to do with Sync. Has the 12v battery been replaced since you've owned the vehicle? If so, do you know if the battery life counter has been reset? This is a vital step when replacing the 12v battery so the vehicle can manage it accordingly. Otherwise it's going to assume a brand new battery is still x years old and may not charge correctly and can result in premature wear. If the battery has not been replaced, it may be due. Most cheap battery testers aren't that thorough and can say it is ok when in fact it may be on its way out.

  3. Have a 2007 Focus Wagon that had such bad carbon buildup on the throttle body that it was difficult to depress the accelerator. Got tired of 'slapping' pedal with my foot to accelerate and looked online for a remedy. Found suggestions for significant disassembly $$$ and cleaning. Finally just disconnected rubber boot from throttle body and wormed my fairly small fingers in there with a chopstick and rag and using plenty of throttle body spray cleaner dissolved the carbon, never again had a problem, over 20,000 miles ago.
