sHoootR Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 I seem to have a malfunction with my Efficiency Leaves. Thought it was the cold weather,but warmer doesn't seem to have helped. Anyone else lost their Efficiency Leaves. Are they controlled by a relay or what? I guess it's a trip to dealer............. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurel Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 You can set different things to come up in the leaves compartment/window. I don't have my leaves showing anymore as I hate to lose any. I have navigation in that compartment now. What do you see in the window/compartment?

kostby Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 (edited) Reported long ago, but news to me, the Lincoln MKZ Hybrid has flowers (Apple Blossoms) that grow among the Efficiency Leaves and remain as rewards for long-term driving efficiency.http://green.autoblog.com/2010/06/04/2011-lincoln-mkz-hybrid-gets-updated-smartgauge-with-apple-bloss/ Edited June 25, 2014 by kostby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wab Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 (edited) After a recent 1300+ miles @ 75+mph round trip to Colorado my 8 yr old grandson (he doesn’t :love_shower: MISS ANYTHING) mentioned that we were missing some leaves and asked what happened to them. They only show when we shut the car down, the left display is set to entertainment while driving. Edited June 25, 2014 by wab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian_L Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 I'd like to see them disappear forever. Along with "baby on board" stickers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Smith Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Along with "baby on board" stickers.Come on... those signs are just targets... Sheesh, if I'm driving like a nog, do you really think I care that you have a baby on board... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S70Pilot Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 I always think, to encourage drivers to use the 'efficient leaves', they should be posting a 'sexy picture' :censored: of a gender of the drivers choice. Say, the more efficient they drive, the more the picture reveal! The should put more drivers into driving eco-consciously.. (well, maybe more accidents ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowStorm Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 I tried the compass - looks nice but it only jumps in 45 degree increments - lame! I can look at the sun and get it that close. If we must have the leaves there should be a running percentage of the time the "big leaf" was shown. My real gripe though - with all that space the temperature and time are so little. Huge waste of a screen. Oh, BTW, what kind of driving does it take to blow away ALL the leaves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawkgeo Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 My wife and I argue about the leaves. She loves them and I hate them, so the leaves always stay on. :banghead: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kostby Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 The 'leaves or compass' choice is for those of us SE owners without a nav/audio upgrade. There are other display options for the right-hand screen if you have Sync with MyFordTouch, standard on the SEL models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A complete waste of a screen. I can't believe I can't choose a voltmeter or a tachometer or some efficiency info. But apparently on the models with Nav/sync the right hand display is tied to the central display. Edited June 30, 2014 by Adrian_L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But apparently on the models with Nav/sync the right hand display is tied to the central display. From the wiring diagrams it doesn't appear so. The IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster) computer appears to control both the left and right screens. However, there are inconsistencies in the workshop manual. The IPC section shows no connection to the 5-way steering wheel right-hand switches. However the section about the information and entertainment system shows those switches going to the IPC. My guess is that they do go to the IPC because they are used to scroll through the options on the right hand display. I would think that adding a "MyView" capability to the right-hand display is possible, just a victim of Ford half-baked software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even an engine light! :lol: :secret: Don't tell the "public" but I think here's a spy shot of the 2015 C-Max dash!
