My only complaint is that when this happened to my FFH, it DID NOT reset the total miles.

Hi BBF :beerchug: I have come to greatly respect your answers. They are alway very helpful and detailed.... but..... I must be dumber than I look. I read step (1).... "Remove the glove compartment". Do I press the "Glove Compartment Eject" button or use my sawzall? Step (2).... Detach and remove the cabin air filter access door". Seriously, I think Helmut was looking for a little detail. For people who have never removed the glove compartment, it can be a little daunting to figure out which plastic tabs to bend (without breaking them) to carry out the steps in the shop manual. I have not tried to do it in my Fusion, but I remember one of my vehicles I had to squeeze the sides of the door together to have the tabs clear to "drop" the door all the way open. Maybe, once I actually try to remove the glove compartment, it will be very obvious and simple. I am an engineer, and normally can figure out how to follow detailed instructions. But the instructions that have only pictures sometimes leave me Which screw? What is that symbol?, etc. I printed out the pdf of the cabin filter and intend to fold it and put in my owner's manual in the car for reference. At least I will know where to start. Anyway, thanks for your consistent help in all these forums. You are a real asset to all of us. :beerchug:

Adam, I agree with all your points. One thing you did not mention regarding the integration of the NAV with the car, when your low fuel warning comes on, the fuel station icons are automatically turned on. Handy on a long trip.

This same discussion just took place on one of the other FFH forums, fordfusionforum I think. Anyway, although it is in the book, and we should be confident in the computer that is taking control of everything, it would help if there was an indicator on the instrument display that a "battery re-condition" is taking place and not to worry.
