Default Activating turn signal and acceleration with cruise control & Lane Stay

Originally Posted by rtball

I don't plan to try it to find out though.
If you don't change lanes, it does not speed up, while still in the same lane, behind another vehicle. That's the purpose of the adaptive sensors and front facing cameras. It knows it can't speed up with a vehicle in front of it, since it's programmed to wait for a clear path to pass. What you don't want to try, is adaptive cruise control on, and forgetting you have the lane stay engaged as well and then try changing lanes. Your steering will put up some stiff resistance, although it will allow you to still change lanes/blinker use or not, you'll suddenly wonder then remember oh Lane Stay is on! Lane stay is great for straight highways, not so much for curved or winding ones.

Don't know why Ford cut costs on this. Now it isn't so dark in that area anymore.
is there a specific tutorial that you followed?

A company called 4D tech makes a plug in programmer for one feature disable like the double honk or the auto shut off, they are locked to your truck once you use them but you can disable the honk or auto stop start or renable it as many times as you like 4Dtech.com

So finally was able to get the back seat on my 2019 SCAB. I think the engineers that designed that should have been let go on the design phase what a PITA. This thread was really helpful and so was Youtube.

All the best

Default A/C odors

Here's a quick tip....I have a 2019 that is new to me...a month ago when I bought it the interior was without odor. Out of nowhere I got wet hot dog out of my ac vents. I tried spraying lysol into the exterior coul intake but to no avail. Then I realized this truck's A/C had probably spent most of its life on recirc... I located the return vents next to the throttle pedal and on the corresponding other side and hit it with a healthy dose of lysol! Problem solved!
cheers

Default Sway control OFF as default????

Anyone know how to make sway control be off as the default when towing a trailer? I have a weight distribution and sway control hitch for my travel trailer. The sway control on the truck actually fights the hitch sway control and makes sway worse. It's a pain to have to go into the towing menu to turn it off every time I start the truck.
Thanks

Second. A lot of late-model F150 owners don't know they have a cabin air filter, and don't change them.

you finally find the catch to let the long side of the backseat top half down? It is a pita, I don't understand why they couldn't have put an easier way to drop that.
