There is a scenario where you can push the big red button without the brake on. If you try to leave the vehicle in this condition, a warning pops up, and the horn honks. Unfortunately, the alarm and horn doesn't always work for whatever reason. The only way you can tell, is to try and lock the...
Without doubt, the biggest issue drivers face is distraction. There are a variety of devices which add their share to distraction, not the least of which are the toy-like display screens we all stare at from time to time.
I mentioned previously the now defunct seat belt anti-start scenario. It...
Explain this to me!
My 2024 Eco-Boost Premium is ≈150 days old. It has under 1,100 miles on the OD. The only "upgrade" I've done is mud flaps. I looked the vehicle up on three web sites (KBB et. al.), and searched for the same vehicle used (CarMax et. al.). I found 4 but no white ones. All...
There is a place for every color, and there is proof of this fact. Remember the t...ty pink Caddies Mary Kay Cosmetics used to give their star saleswomen?
If memory serves, it was 1975 when those darn seat belt interlocks wouldn't even let you back out of the garage to wash your car! What a drag. I think every car owner wanted to slay the idiot who dreamt them up. Auto stop/start must be the guy's son!
I went and looked. The switch is what I said it was, albeit having International symbols on it instead of on off etc.
In the back of the manual (bottom since they're text) is a list of these symbols. And they are there!!

When knock is detected, the EEC reduces ignition timing, which in turn reduces power. That is the main reason we buy these cars!

Volcanos are a big contributor, but so is Lake Kivu in Rwanda, Africa. Fact is, one of its sister lakes went topsy-turvy and killed a few thousand people.
Lake Kivu's power plant, called Kivuwatt, uses methane extracted from the depths of the lake.
You might want to read this, even though it...
Actually there are more than just one video, as I've watched two different ones.
I mentioned some months ago, about going on an automobile plant tour if you get a chance. Doesn't make any difference what make, it'll give you a whole new view of the process. It certainly is not ole Henry's...
Is there a reason Mustang drivers need to jack up their cars to the point they require jack rails under it? I just hope it isn't for the same reason my neighbor jacks up his CTS-V? ....to wash the insides of the wheel rims? Talk about OCD!
I might see the need for extra protection due in part to the salt air they endure during shipping. I wonder about Dubai, however, as everything there is nothing but sand.
