Yep, I've done that, repeatedly, trying to get it to kick into EV mode. Never does until it drops below 65. Guess I'll call the dealership and ask them to take a look. They traded to get the car to sell to me so not their fault but if the car wasn't updated that kind of sucks. Oh well!

Thanks! Says I need 12M02 under Outstanding Field Service Actions which looks like it just deals with Sync/MyFordTouch. Under Vehicle Software Information it just says information is available for my vehicle. Under Software | Changes and Upgrades it says the info I requested isn't available at this time. Under the Summary tab both Modules and History are blank. Thanks for the link. Still not sure what rev our coax is at though. Hmm, it's never entered EV mode above the low 60's. And I've tried lol!

We bought our C Max last November and so far have been very happy with it. It was my understanding though that the firmware on 2013 vehicles was updated to increase mileage. It was also my understanding that the old firmware allowed battery only operation up to 62mph while the newer firmware allowed it up to 80. Is that correct? Is there any way to verify what revision the car has short of taking it to the dealer? Thanks! Jason

We picked up a 2013 Tuxedo Black C-MAX SE last night. Pretty excited about it. Our 2005 Honda Odyssey has 200k miles on it and only got around 16-17mpg city so we wanted to get my wife something that got better mileage and save the Odyssey for trips where we take more than 4 people. She was all set on the Lexus ES300h but decided that the cost was just too much. We then started searching for less expensive options and looked at the standard Focus, the C-MAX, the Prius line, and the Hyundai Sonata Hybrid. We ended up picking the C-MAX as we're very comfortable with Ford vehicles and it fit our family perfectly. It larger than my 2012 Fiesta so family trips should be more comfortable. I don't care for the Prius styling and the Sonata Hybrid just didn't feel right. My wife didn't care for the Focus so C-MAX it was. Looking forward to getting some trips on it and see how it does. It's significantly larger in the passenger compartment than the Fiesta so the kids love it. Hopefully I'll be able to pick up some good tips on it from the forum! Jason
