About Jan 1 +/- this year my dealer installed an "MRI?" tunnel at the check in area that is coned so that you have to drive through. Checks for leaks, tire wear, frame alignment, etc, etc. I would expect to check all codes, etc also.
The second lock button press turns off the courtesy lights (when you get to porch and don't need the light to see the sidewalk). It also turns off the inside lights before the delay timer runs out along with the dash and radio screen. It lets the truck know you are not going to need the truck...
Even in new Mexico if the air temp is below the dewpoint (the temp at which the RELATIVE DEW POINT IS 100%) condensation will form. So the truck will have to turn on the AC to remove some of the moisture until the truck is warm enough to raise the cabin temp above the dew point.
Scope out inverter microwaves. I use panasonic inverter 1250 watt at home. They do make some with lesser max power. The inverter type uses continual wave at adjustable power levels. Some models have quick choices for different foods at different power levels at different times. You could...
Note: if you push the button without foot on brake within (10?) seconds of pushing it to turn ready state off without opening the door the truck is returned to ready state without verifying key is in vehicle. Pushing button once after 10 seconds then turning something on or plugging into power...
Maybe to help those sleep at night or to at least consider changing trans fluid for more severe usage consider adding 10k-12k-?k miles to a trans milage change tally every time the engine change oil light comes on whether it happens at 6k-8k-10k-?k. Change trans when the tally figure reaches...
@Darryl I've upped my cognitive helping Brazil nuts to 3/day for a week and been thinking about battery save and getting mav ready to drive. The 12v soc is apparently used to check sensors out at that time with the resistance readings taken with the voltages present at that time. To facilitate...
In my 2022 hybrid lariat that is (or was before a program update) referred to as courtesy lights delay (on/off selectable in 2 or 3 time periods on menu on steering wheel). Note that when you get to porch to turn them off before time period ends pressing lock on fob twice turns courtesy lights...
Check out Continental true contact tour 54 tires. They are good low rolling resistance, have good stopping and light snow with est tread wear 70k-80k. I like mine really well. The 225 are more of an SUV load rated lighter weight tire and 235 are more of a "light truck" tire with heavier load...
I had a 2012 Honda crv. I had to run fan speed 2 and daylight running lamps to keep alternator output at 14.4v and above. (Their gas saving was to not charge battery for 12-15 minutes or when buss voltage dropped to about 11 volts.). Batteries would last about 20-24 months. Last about 6-8...
When the dcdc converter drops to 12.8v the system detects that 12.8v is all the current needed to supply everything needed. The 12v battery is charging at 1 amp or less. 14.1 or more on bus doesn't mean much as the current will be reduced to the amperage the system thinks the calculated SOC of...
