Notice a lot of threads/posts regarding various features or things happening like Auto Start/Stop, Remote Start, etc. Question: Did you review the Owner's Manual first before creating a thread/post to answer your inquiry?
Most ppl don't.

Many (not all) questions & subjects can be answered by reviewing the Owner's Manual regarding the feature in question that is either not working or non-operational. Some reading this thread may say that is common sense while others may say that's ridiculous. Either way, the Owner's Manual is the FIRST resource that should to be referred to when researching a feature and its operation. If one can't find the answer, THEN post the thread to get possible solutions or answers.

Just one owner's observation.

Asking the forum is more fun though.

Why? So you can get ten different answers, all of them wrong?
I’ve gotten great advice on here. I believe some from you as well.

Keeps me out of trouble while waiting for my Maverick, anyway.
Sometimes I learn more from the mistakes of others.
By the time I get mine I will forget what I learned and ask the same questions all over again. Ugh...

A suggestion. Owner's manual first. The second, and most important, is the search button. Forums shouldn't be an endless stream of repeated questions. If that doesn't give you an answer, then post. I wish the mods would post a sticky or note to search before posting.

I do agree one should make an effort and open the owners manual.
I have not been on the forum as long as the OP and the questions coming up are still entertaining to me.
A couple more months and I will get burned out too.

Why take the quick and easy route of searching the online manual when you can wait around for ten different strangers on the Internet to give you different wrong answers, argue about it, then attack anyone who has the right answer and provides relevant context and detail? More fun that way.

The "post thread" button should actually just search instead
