Battery saver feature - window sticker.

[23grayXLT84]

I am very well aware of deep sleep / battery saver mode issues and another post has me now scratching my head.

Has anyone noticed that the maverick is the only model to list "battery saver mode" on the factory window sticker ? My search didn't find anything for escape/ bronco / f150 etc.

Are we beta testers for Ford ? And proving just how dumb and problematic this feature is ?

The battery saver mode might be a lot more useful if we had a battery worth saving

How much do they charge for this "feature"?

Battery saver mode actually shortens the life of the battery.

Can you control the time-outs for these circuits using Forscan? I watched the Ford video for battery saver - since the maverick owners manual glosses over it - and the amount of time it keeps circuits active is far too long in my opinion. I don't need usb/power taps/headlights/etc running for several to 30 minutes after I turn the car off.

My 52 year old carbureted classic muscle car would start easier than these hybrids.common ford.you can do better. No cold start issues with my ecoboost.

You can adjust USB timeout using Forscan

Do you have any facts to back up this assertion or just saying stupid shit?

Wouldn't surprise me if they renamed it to avoid having to fix it, and they are saying it's totally normal.

"won't start"
"duh... it's in battery saver mode"
"can I disable it"
"lol no"
