Hey folks, I just purchased a fairly maxed used 2013 C-Max for just over $9K. It is in visibly pristine condition but with 74,000 miles. The prev owner purchased at my dealer and CARMAX shows she hit every maintenance point on the Ford list and the car runs great. Black Hybrid SEL - leather seats, MyTouch, heated seats, sunroof, etc. We were a one car family for 17 years - purchased a new Fusion 2015 2 years ago and needed this car for new work commute in DC. I hear that 87 oct gas is the ideal - but if there is better performance I would pay for 91 oct. Thoughts? My main Q tho is re EV+. I would like to delete prev owner's learned EV+ routes, and manual says that can be done under settings for Driver Assist. But I look there and only see the ability to turn it on or off via settings. How does one delete the old routes? I've spent 2-3 hours looking for the settings but cannot find it. Help would be appreciated. Also opinions. Does 74K mile car have lots of life left? I got a 4 year 1000 point warranty with it, tho it is not a "certified vehicle," so much should be covered. I really like the mix. It's got better tech than my 2 year newer Fusion. The orig purchase price was $31,000 in 2013 apparently. Thanks folks. Glad to be here. So far it's a fun vehicle. bp

So today I headed down to North Hollywood after a stop at Galpin to talk to their service manager about my MFT, panel and liftgate issues. Nothing exciting to report there except that they'll get back to me about the MFT update. Clearly I knew about the MFT updates more than they did, not surprising - thanks to the information from all the posters here. Anyway, as I neared my destination in North Hollywood, I noticed that my EV+ was on...I had to do a double take. I was about 3/4 mile out from my destination and ever since I have had this car, this destination was always my 2nd most frequent stop (aside from home where you naturally expect the EV+to come on). It's off Victory if anyone cares. So - does this mean that the CMax is capable of "remembering" multiple EV+ locations? I have never seen this, and I am not sure if anyone else has reported this. I've not reset my lifetime gauge in yonkers either. I mean it doesn't do me any good here with EV+ or not but its cool to know the car has learnt and scary to know that IT CAN LEARN!!!! Anyone else seen this multiple EV+?

So what's it for exactly? Seems to me it would be better to turn it off & save the battery for the next morning.

I've got over 4,000 miles on my car and it still hasn't gone into EV+. I suspect that since my car was driven a few hundred miles from a dealer in another state when I got it that might have something to do with it? In any case, if someone could give me a hint as to how I can get it to go into EV+ I would appreciate it! ;-)
