Any ideas about adding daytime running lights to a C-Max? Can a kit be purchased from a Canadian dealer and installed by a US dealer?

Suggest you drive for approximately two hour intervals -- walking for 30 minutes between driving segments. Plan your stops so that you can pull into a town for your walk -- more interesting. I have done this for a number of years due to a medical condition that prevents siting for extended time periods. You will find that you feel better and will stay alert. If you fold these stops into meals, restroom stops, coffee stops, etc., it will be a more efficient use of time.

I have acquired a regular tire and wheel as a spare and a jack and lug wrench for an Escape. They fit reasonably well in the back of my C-Max and will greatly reduce my unease at the thought of driving in the countryside without a spare.

Add spare tire and jack.

I did the same thing with a full size tire. Just used the D-ring for a tie down. Placed the wheel outside down and can use the bowl it creates to hold a couple of grocery bags, etc.

This site needs a map to click on for info.

Anyone have access to a C-Max shop manual site? I want to see a diagram of the underside of the car so that I know exactly where the jacking point are.

Thanks

So if you need roadside assistance for a jump start, where do the cables get attached?

The Focus and the Escape have spare tires and, one assumes jacks. Anyone know if either of these jacks will fit the C-Max?

The C-Max owners' manual is silent on the interior storage area at the back -- just in front of the lift gate. What's it for? Can I use it?

There seem to be some tie downs in the cargo area that the Cargo organizer and net attach to. Perhaps they will work for securing a spare tire?
