What is your routine when you start your ST? (Winter Edition)

I’m realizing there is a whole process when starting your ST each morning. Here’s mine….

My routine after starting the car….
  1. Plug in Smartphone (Waze shows up in Android Auto)
  2. Start the Pandora app on the phone
  3. 3 clicks to the right - Sport Mode
  4. Re-enable the Auto Off Engine (It doesn’t bother me having the vehicle turn off at stop lights, IMO)
  5. Heated Driver seat set to level 1 (If the headed seats are not already on)
  6. Heated Steering wheel ON (If not already on)
  7. Enable Driver seat Massage
  8. Crack Moonroof for fresh air
  9. Turn (counter clockwise) headlights up to day-time driving lights (with fog lights on….I think it makes the outside of the vehicle look better, IMO)
  10. Grab Sunglasses
  11. Seatbelt
It’s a shame Ford couldn’t find a way to tailor most of these to your seat’s memory settings.

What’s your routine?

Why don't you leave the headlights in auto mode?

I think he’s turning on the parking lights so he can turn on his fogs.

Correct. I like the way the lights in the front and back look, especially the fog light (bars).

I love running with my fogs on always.. love the bar style fog lights but I dont like the individual bulbs or whatever.. one long LED light for each fog would be real nice.. kind of match the DRL
