Mine comes on a quarter mile form home and work parking lot

Could be. I was using carnauba paste was.

They are wild turkeys in my front yard. I've been hearing them gobble for a while now. This is the first time seeing them. Maxie was in the garage this time when they showed up. Sorry

I got some pics this time so everyone will believe me.

Can't believe this. I have some turkeys outside now. Hope they don't use my Maxie for target practice. LOL

I purchased my CMax in March temps were low 20s to mid 40s during break in and was getting average 38 mpg. Now after 3,000 miles and warm temps my lifetime average is 44 + - a point or 2. I get 46 to 55 mpg trips regularly now. I have been wondering what will happen to my mpg's come winter. Just how low will it go?

Stobro I had a robin here once that would stand on the door mirrors and crap all down the sides of my car and truck. Didn't know a bird could crap that much. He would white wash both sides on both vehicles in one day. I would wash it off and in just minutes he was back :rant2: I chased him off and he would come right back. Had to take him out with a paintball gun to get him to stay away. Moms house the birds use every car there for target practice. Everytime I go over to visit I have to wash off the crap on the way home

I sat there for an hour waiting and nothing. I was hoping to get a picture, but they never came back. Just a lady bug came to visit thats all

Hey Adair It just happened again but this time there were 2 of them. They flew up to Maxie and this time it looked like they were looking in the windows. (Maybe they saw theyr'e reflecttion) Whatever it is, they sure like my car for some reason.

Just wanted to share what happened to me today. I live in the country so I see all kinds of animals around my place,but didn't expect this. I was waxing my baby out in the yard. I was sitting on the ground waxing the passenger side back door when a humming bird flew right up to me and was hovering 12 inches from my face. He stayed there for about 10 seconds and then flew over to the front door of my Maxie. He hovered around the HYBRID logo on the door for a few seconds then flew back to my face before flying off. I was amazed to have this happen. I just figured out what he was doing. He was saying thanks for driving a hybrid and saving his home. :doh: Wish I could have recorded it. That would have made a good comercial for Ford. I can see it now. Show the clip and finish with (Ford Saving the environment one tank at a time) and a little blurb over the humming bird saying Thank you Ford :wub2: Wait until I get back to work and tell my buddies at the Ohio EPA. They will get a kick out of it. Well back to waxing.

Congrats on your purchase. Your going to love waving at the people at the gas stations as you drive by. Lol If you have any questions about your C Max ask away.

Noah Harbinger is correct. Look for the amber light on the dash. If it is on all of the doors are locked. The same as when the vehicle is moving the doors lock themselves and the light is on.

Welcome to the site. Congrats on getting Ruby!!!!!

In the information screens the engine is just there to tell you that the ICE is running and you are using gasoline. (it lights up in WHITE) The check engine light is a physical light in the seedometer gauge area. It will light up in AMBER and stay on if there is a problem with the engine. Don't worry There is no problem with the engine unless the amber light comes on.

I use Dr. Jackson's hide rejuvenator on all of my leather items. Belts, shoes, baseball gloves, saddles, to leather jackets. Its the best stuff out there to take care of leather. Don't think that the seats in our Maxes is real leather though ,so not sure if it will work no them.

Dealer has to install then here in Ohio. Ask your dealer about putting one on. We have to have them on both ends to.( for now) They just raised the speed limit to 70 starting July 1 and there is a bill in the house to eliminated the front plate to save the state money by not have to make the 2nd plate. Might be taking mine off if that happens

Congrats on your new C Max. I have the same color and package as you exept no glass roof. :) enjoy!

so 1 tank 2 washer pumps. Good To know

So the washer fluid does get pumped from under the hood all the way to the back. I wondered if there was a 2nd washer tank in the back somewhere.

Never heard of it. If I leave my car on and open the door a chine goes off. If you shut the door the horn sounds, so why would they have a cheap mode?

No problem with mine.

SEL 302A package with Sony sound system 3010 miles so far. No problems.

Had to have natural resources come out and move a nest of ducks here at work. They were by the door

Congrats :happy feet: and Welcome. Keep us informed. Have any questions just ask. :rockon:

I love it :wub2: :hysterical: :dogwalk:
