READ YOUR MANUAL

[KHut]

One important thing I have learned about the Maverick during my first month of ownership. READ THE MANUAL.

My Dealer new car orientation consisted of giving me the key and saying "goodbye." In their defense, they have no Mavericks on the lot to play with and learn about, so they know NOTHING...

I've since read the manual and learned many cool things the truck does that you may not find out for some time unless you READ THE MANUAL...

1) Rear windows have an auto-up feature to keep kids/dog from getting their heads/necks crushed. Nice to know.
2) Turn signals have a quick one-touch for changing lanes that gives you 3 signals. This way you don't to hold down yourself.
3) The buttons beneath the faux CD player are shortcuts for many functions on the touchscreen. The one on the left accesses the setting rather than using the touch screen. The one on the right turns the large screen to clock or off if desired at night. Still don't understand the faux CD player slot though?
4) The exterior driver door keypad can lock ALL or UNLOCK ALL by touching the top 2 or bottom 2 buttons simulatenously. I've had my Sportrac with the same keypad for 14 years and didn't even know it too does this. Haaa...

This is just a small fraction of the electronics in this car and most newer cars these days. If you take time to read the manual, you will find many things that you will enjoy... So, READ THE MANUAL!

I agree. But I don't have the car yet, just the manual I downloaded. And the damn thing is daunting! It's over 500 pages! 'Reminds me of my goals to read "Walden Pond" and the Bible.

I didn't get very far in either one.

Dunno, and while we're at it, who is this Manuel everyone keeps talking about?

Put owners manual in bathroom. Read as needed and multi-task. In case of nuclear holocaust, remain seated.

I‘m getting an XL. Is there a Cliff Notes version? How does it end?

Man I love reading my manuals. My wife thinks I'm a big nerd but she's the one who drove around for 10 years in a Honda Fit before she found out about the magical backseat folding trick.

So, I hate to brake it to you, but in the end... The Maverick... It doesn't make it. It lives a good, long life and fights a hard, uphill battle, but eventually, it loses its fight...

To an EV Maverick!

Is the manual from helm a better quality manual.

I daresay most members of this club know more about the Maverick than any salesperson! I know I could've sold a few just by showing off my own truck.

Does the 2022 Maverick hybrid lariat have a hot spot or modum installed in them.

I thought all mavericks were automatic

Your XL ran happily ever after...because it didn't have multiple added components to go haywire.
