Exactly the same in the hybrid.

This may have nothing to do with your problem. I have an iPhone. If I click the voice button I'm connected to the Ford app. If I click and hold for a second I'm connected to Siri on my I phone. Could that be the issue?

On my 2025, if I set the climate temp to the lowest possible setting it does display "LO". On my screen it is at the bottom, not the top like yours so it could be a difference between model years. It is hard for me to believe that you have a serious problem and the only place you see a warning...

How about this - On a Ford Maverick screen or climate control dial, "LO" simply means the lowest possible temperature setting. [1]

When I was a kid my dad had an Esso service station. Before ordering gas we would always stick the tank and knew within gallons, not hundreds, how much gas we had. There was a measuring stick for each grade because the undergrounds were different capacities. You had to know how much to order...

What's happening inside my differential and transmission with one wheel spinning like that?

That's why I'm keeping my 2001 Tacoma with manual transmission. Hands and feet are directly connected to things that make it go.

It is a 2023 hybrid and gets 35 MPG (calculated). It is my wife's car and she loves it. When we started looking she thought she wanted a Subaru Outback. We test drove one and then rented one for a couple of weeks. We would drive it to test drive other SUVs and she decided the Santa Fe was best...

This is what I'll have on a road trip. Well, actually, I have this all the time because you never know when a road trip might happen. Battery jump starter 12V air compressor Multi tool or large Swiss Army knife Spare fuses Alcohol - No, not that kind, the kind to use as sanitizer or cleaner...

I heard they are making oil from snakes now. Maybe read it on this forum. I think they are using those big snakes down in Florida.

Maybe I'll get a "Sipper Duty" decal for my hybrid.

That screen also shows on the driver information screen in front of of the steering wheel. Bring it up there and hold the OK button until it resets.

I run a spreadsheet and record calculated and truck reported mileage. Over 18 fill ups, the truck over reported mpg 11 times with the worst at 5 mpg. The truck under reported mpg 7 times with the worst being 3 mpg. If I average averages it is very close. This is a 25 hybrid AWD. My driving is...
