C-MaxJaxon Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Remote start is an optional accessory that has to be installed by the dealer. I think the C-Max Energi plugin comes with remote start. http://accessories.ford.com/vehicles/c-max/2013/electronics/remote-start.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RachelnLa Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Welcome Gina! How exciting. I ordered the sel and waiting on delivery. No more keys to dig for. Swing off the foot and the hatch opens! I cannot wait. erwhitham 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhackwyatt Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 I wrote some more info on Remote Start in another topic. http://fordcmaxhybridforum.com/index.php?/topic/1167-2013-c-max-sel-ordered-1120-and-just-now-getting-vin/&do=findComment&comment=8638 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmatthews102 Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Intelligent access with push button statr is NOT remote start. If the car has remote start it will be stated just as that on the sticker: "REMOTE START". If it does not have it, the dealer can install it for an extra cost. There are other posts on this site addressing this issue that you may want to consult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinto Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 On some of Ford's the intelligent access with push button start, the fob feature includes a remote start button on the fob. I think the Escape is one of those models. None of the C Max SEL models had the remote start feature listed as factory. I believe remote start will be a dealer add on and not factory. Just like the keyless entry number pad that is unique to Ford is not available on the SEL or SE models from the factory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(According to owner's manual, I don't have an Energi to verify.) EVger 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gina Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Thank you all so much! You are confirming what I thought. When I didn't see "remote start" on the sticker, I assumed the vehicle did not have it, but the sales guy keeps saying, "I think it has it." Thank you for the information. I think my car is arriving this week! I am beyond excited to see it! =) Adair 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnOhio Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 I ordered mine with remote start. Don't know if the factory will install it or the dealer. I know the dealer can install it afterwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Green Jeans Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 I thought that the package that I ordered would have cruise control that would adjust the speed downward when behind a slower vehicle, like the Prius offers. Just found that it is for parking use only. Would not have ordered this way if I had known. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's called Adaptive Cruise Control and should be available when the Titanium gets here.Along with power passenger seat, HID headlights, led's etc. pomtrey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScubaDadMiami Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 (edited) I just did a test drive of an SE last week. When I tried to get specific about the options packages, my salesman very generously printed out the training materials that Ford uses to train the salepeople on the C-MAX, gave them to me, and told me to come back and to teach him! Even the materials that Ford makes for their salespeople are not what I would call ultra-clear on the option packages. So, that could explain why even the salespeople may be confused about the nitty-gritty. I also fall into the camp of people that can't get the features that they want without getting the leather. I live in Miami Beach, Florida. Nobody that lives here in the summer wants leather. I can't believe that Ford is not making some kind of regional version that has fabric seats on the SEL, or some kind of near equivalent option list for SE purchasers. Because of this, I still have some thinking to do. I am going to rent a C-MAX (they are starting to arrive at the Miami International Airport Budget Car Rental) for a full day to make my final decision about buying now, or perhaps waiting and hoping that the few "misses" people have mentioned (no LED headlights, leather required for best options) get worked out in the next year model. This is going to be a tough decision. Edited March 8, 2013 by ScubaDadMiami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generalbeluga Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 (edited) FYI, the rear back up camera is not standard on the SEL model. I bought one and it has the rear back up warning alarm with sensor buttons on the rear bumper but, no camera. The camera was an option package that required the auto tail gate lift, as I recall. Different dealers ordered their inventory with varying options that they felt would maximize their sales profits. I was very lucky that I found an SEL with the exact color and options that I wanted sitting right there waiting for me on the sales lot without having to make a special order. I didn't have to pay for any options that I didn't want. That is unusual these days! The "keyless entry/start/tailgate" refers to 1. keyless entry (touch door handle to electronically unlock door), 2. push button start (no key required to start car) and 3. an additional button on the key fob to unlock tail gate but, this is not necessarily the auto open feature. "Intelligent access" refers to #1 above and pushbutton start refers to #2 above. Edited March 18, 2013 by Generalbeluga Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
