No - always fill it with nozzle set at the first lock setting and stop filling when it clicks off.

Wife was driving Maverick Hybrid and when she stopped for gas, the fuel door didn’t pop open (push button on dash on hybrids) until an error message popped up on the cluster display. Fuel nozzle shut off quickly and it appeared that the fill tube would audibly “top off” with gas frequently...

A hybrid engine has what’s called Atkinson cycle valve actuation, which makes the hybrid engine sound way different than a typical ICE engine. I kind of align it with the sound a 5 cylinder engine makes, which has more growl than a 4 cylinder. There is also an exhaust diverter valve on the...

Is this as simple as the switch next to the front dome light getting bumped? I noticed that the dome light turns on when you press on the lamp (with this switch turned off), but it won’t turn on when you open the door.

When you have Apple carplay or Android auto working, the temp display drops off of the main screen. They do pop back up if you adjust the temperature setting, so no harm?

I put an aftermarket battery monitor on the 12v battery in my hybrid Mav. You can read the battery voltage from a phone app as long as the phone is within bluetooth range (30 ft or so) of the truck, and the truck doesn’t need to be on to read out. It will store a running history of battery...

With adaptive speed control active, which can have an adjustable following distance, plus lane keep assist or lane centering (Lariat), when a car in front of you turns a corner or into a driveway, if the monitored following distance collapses too quickly, the Mav will apply the brakes to avoid...

The rear window defroster was supposed to be a part of the rear window that has the power window feature (Lariat only), but must have been dropped before production began.

Service manual says that the Maverick (likely only hybrid) has an electric (supplemental) heater which appears to have 3 or 4 power levels (3 relays), and large fuses (40 to 60A for each). Not sure if this has made it into the production Mavericks, but if so, this could help to reduce the need...

I have found that the issue comes about when you’re doing light brake pedal presses, similar to creeping - stop and go - in a drive through line, or navigating at creep speed in a parking lot. There comes a point where, after cycling the pedal about 3 times that the vehicle response to the next...

Recently driving after an overnight cold snap where rain turned into snow and freezing temps overnight - no ice cakes on wipers as I wiped off road salt splashes as I drove along. Wiper performance seemed good for -4F temp - must be heat in there somewhere? Didn’t see any heating pad where...

Lariat hybrid with CP 360 - I find that having the cruise power and cancel buttons (left side) closer to the center of the wheel and the ACC distance and lane keep buttons toward the outside is backwards. I want cancel in a handier spot than it is - others agree?

My Maverick Lariat was ordered on 10/20/21 and I picked it up on 10/7/22. The price I paid matched the prices that were on the original order, and the financing was also handled as if I picked up the truck in Oct ‘21 (lower interest rates). The financial transaction between Ford and the dealer...

Bliss indicators are super bright in your mirrors - at least in the daytime. If you check your mirror before a lane change (you should), you’re going to see the warning. As others have said, Bliss is on anytime you pass or get passed by a car going in your direction, so driving in multilane...

By the gauges not displaying, this appears to be a ground issue in the instrument panel area, or an electrical connectivity issue through an inline connector somewhere. The instrument cluster must be working for the shifter to come out of park.

Air hose or something fairly loud (phone playing music?) placed near that sliding rear window (noise on outside - you, or partner listener on the inside with the sliding window closed) may point you to where the leak is. The seal around my sliding rear window looks suspicious since new, and I...

If you park on a significant incline. Make sure you set your park brake before you put the shifter in park an release the brake pedal. Your transmission park pawl will thank you. Upon the next time you drive it, first press brake - hard - then shift to R or D before you finally release the...

I have noticed that on windy days where a high profile semi truck (box trailer) is coming at you in a crosswind, if I’m too close to the centerline, the left front corner of the hood will flex a bit when hit by the blast of wind. Note to self - move right when driving past high profile vehicles...

Since it started getting colder, I’ve noticed that a cold start on a hybrid does begin rather “agricultural” and then smooths out after 15-20 seconds to sound normal. Perhaps this is something the engine program goes through to get the cat hot? After that 15-20 second interval - all is fine...

I was surprised at how quickly a little snow/wet road caused my ACC radar sensor to get obstructed enough to stop cruise control from working. After a bit of digging, I found that you can default to normal cruise control in one of the menus - otherwise no cruise control if left in ACC mode -...
