My advice is to shop around. It seems when dealing with the FEH, there are a bunch of misinformed dealers out there. You may need to call or talk to several...
Mike, I wouldn't mind seeing the Mercury Hybrid info. If we have room, could you please post to the website (files&photos). I think it is OK since the Mercury...
For those with an interest in keeping up with the news about the New Mercury Mariner Hybrid SUV, due for production in the Fall of this year, I have set up an...
I was just talking to a guy yesterday about his 11MPG Navigator. Suggested he look at alternatives. The Mariner might fit his needs. So yes - send the info....
Okay... my "World's First Hybrid" photo is put in the photo section. I didn't know if it would show if I simply emailed it or not. I think you will like it, so...
So I spotted one on the road in NYC, but was unable to catch up to it through traffic... and until today that was the only one I've seen on the road. I'm now...
The following is from the Helms Workshop Manual. I wonder if anyone has noticed seeing the three second theft indicator light on the instrument panel. The...
The claim that they "couldn't make it work in the hybrid" is also a strange one. Toyota has had working immobilizer technology in Prius from day one (of US...
Each chip contains a unique ID code. You program the computer in the vehicle to accept a given key, as opposed to programming the key to work in the car. ...
Well, I got all excited... The Nav Sys MPG Estimate was 40.6 MPG over the life of my last tank.... did I break the 40 MPG barrier... no.... My Nav Sys displays...
There is also instructions on programing up to 8 keys but the dealer would have to program the keys to the car first or we could not be using the keys we have....
I thought that while I was waiting for my contact at Ford to get back from vacation I would try the normal person approach and zap a complaint about the PATS...
John, The message center DTE is totally independent of the NAV system. FEHs without the NAV (like mine) still have the message center DTE-- so it must be two...
... With the bladder in the tank, you can't measure each tank individually. Things like ambient temperature and fill rate will affect how much gas you can put...
... Huh? I think the initial keys are downloaded to the PCM at the factory. Presumably there might be a way to do the same using the WDM (very expensive Ford...
Different systems using the same data. There's a module in NAV equipped cars that sits on both the CAN bus and the Audio Control Bus. It takes the info on...
Linda, FEH does not appear to have a bladder. That's unique to Prius (presumably RX400h and HLH also). The service manual says the fuel system contains "a...
... Wow! Color me educated. I assumed that since the FEH is AT-PZEV, it would have the bladder, since even the Civic Hybrid that receives that rating has the...
Just so everyone understands it, the PATS system and the Perimeter alarm are two different systems. The PATS (Passive Anti Theft System) works with a 'chipped'...
I was searching through the Service manual and found the following content about how to program additional keys using two already programmed keys: Key...
Hey everybody, I posted a few days ago about the color of the bumper in our ordered 2006 FEH. We want the bumper to be light grey. . .almost silver. . .to go...
I feel for you. I don't know what to tell ya' on how to handle an ordered vehicle--never done that. The only suggestion I have is that if the dealer continues...
Thank you. . .for making me feel like I'm not going crazy. I guess dealers have a way of twisting things to suit what they want. He is now saying that they can...
The appearance package is more than just silver bumpers, so you are not getting a good deal by paying the MSRP price difference. Since you are willing to...
Hmmmm. I'm skeptical about this. If I remember correctly, the App pkg also has painted door handles and tailgate garnish. I'm not sure how the dealer would...
You have a decision to make here. I don't know all the facts but this is what I would do to make a decision: 1. To me the dealer already has two strikes...
Anybody hazard a guess as to why the FEH has the coat hanger all the way in the back instead of in the passenger seats, like it was on my 2001 Escape?...
