Makes me wish for the old days. 2 idiot lights, one for oil pressure and one for temp, both meant "shut er down".

I do hope that is not a 'proper' Ford document.

If it is it's a good example of how Ford continue to succeed in making their technology that is supposed to be intuitive and helpful into something that is clunky, complicated and difficult to use.

Obliviously it's not... I just pulled it.

I think it make it easier to use and it was nice for an employee of the dealer to make it. I leave a copy in my truck.

I don't have any good tips, yet. But I'm hoping someone can help me out.

I want to set my 2016 XLT system to turn off all lights (especially interior dome and exterior parking) as soon as I exit the truck and close the door, WITHOUT locking it.

It seems like I should be able to do this by going through the program as follows: Settings>Advanced Settings>Vehicle>Lighting>Autolamp Delay>0 seconds.

But no matter whether I pick 0, 10, 20, 120 seconds, the lights always go out after 25 seconds. Can someone please tell me what I'm missing here?

I might be wrong, but I believe the autolamp is for headlights only...no way to change the time on interior lights.

Thanks but....Even with the Autolamp Delay set to 0 seconds, the headlights and taillights stay on after the interior and bed lights turn off at around 25 seconds.

I don't know how long the headlights and taillights stay on - I got tired of waiting. Of course they turn off when I hit the remote lock.

It may have been mentioned, but I haven't seen it yet. If you have the 360° camera, you can turn it on with the dash button at slow speed. If you hit the dash button again, you get full screen of the front camera only. Hit it a third time and you get the front and both mirror cameras. Hit it again and it turns the system off. With the truck in reverse, you get the same two extra views, only with the tail gate camera instead.

You can do this with FORscan by enabling "Dark car mode".

I've searched the forum and this thread. Is there a way to turn off the V8 sound on '15 Ecoboost? I don't know what my engine sounds like.
