On the current year F-150 when you order there is an option to delete the 'auto stop/start' feature. with a $50 credit. maybe Ford will have this available in the MY23 Mavs. It may be available on other Fords and Lincolns.
Agreed 100%. Terrible for the starter. Not good for oil circulation and wear on the engine. NOTHING good comes from this other than the EPA being happy with 15 seconds less of ICE running.
or maybe keep your money & just remember to hit the button provided for you to make your life easier. sorry, but it's not a big deal for me and don't understand why's you get so upset?
The $100 thingy wouldn't be a thingy if only a few people hated this feature.this auto-stop has been around in many vehicles for many years (1974 toyota crown i googled it) and helping emissions/fuel economy, etc... yes there are a few members trying to use forscan remedies and you already know the "$100 thingy" if you really HATE should be a very cheap modification for you to quit whining
yes the aftermarket makes many things for modifying factory equipment and is one of the things i love seeing what people are doing to their mavericks & other vehicles, people spend a lot of money on changing things they don't like or want to improve - as for your whining it's ok by me, but why not just buy the $100 thingy that people already have otherwise you will have to buy the forscan (unless someone you know has it) which also costs money but can change other stuff too? i don't believe ford is going to do it for you for free they already provided a button to make your own choice to use it or not
i thought $100 would be cheap if you really don't like the feature, your money/your right to whine about it too. sorry to tease you by using the whining term also.
Nailed it, it’s an emissions thing
No worries... but I don't see it as whining anyway, I'm just making it known that doing all the work to give us a button to turn it off, but not a way to turn it off permanently is really frustrating.yes the aftermarket makes many things for modifying factory equipment and is one of the things i love seeing what people are doing to their mavericks & other vehicles, people spend a lot of money on changing things they don't like or want to improve - as for your whining it's ok by me, but why not just buy the $100 thingy that people already have otherwise you will have to buy the forscan (unless someone you know has it) which also costs money but can change other stuff too? i don't believe ford is going to do it for you for free they already provided a button to make your own choice to use it or not
You can thank CAFE for auto-S/S. The OEM does not get the full credit if the system is able to be permanently shut off, thus the temporary button. That gives the OEM the best of both worlds.....full CAFE credit, and the customer can still (temporarily) shut it off.
If I'm remembering what has been posted here and not wanting to look at the owner's manual, I think I'm going to have to get used to pushing the "eco mode" on my truck each time I get in as that is the setting I want. I can't understand why FORD didn't have that be the default.You can thank CAFE for auto-S/S.

Like most things, you'll get used to hitting that button just as normal as twisting the key, or pushing the start button.....just takes a little time, especially given this is your first Auto-S/S rodeo.
