Not sure if this was mentioned but in sport mode the car in front of you changes into a mustang on the adaptive cruise

Try changing the mode more, it changes the vehicle type in other options.

I didn't see this feature mentioned in this thread. When you engage "Park" and within 5 seconds press the "M" (Manual) mode while in Park, it engages the Stay In Neutral mode. The manual recommends this be used while using the automatic car wash.

Don't forget to turn off the AUTO HOLD for the brakes at the stop lights. It took me a couple seconds to figure out why I wasn't moving in a car wash!

Did anyone find out if they sale this clip any where? I was giving the ok to take the one off of my 2020 ST but didn’t have the tool to remove it.

My brother 3D printed one for me. Super easy and cheap. Can’t believe this was a cost cutting measure they didn’t get slapped for.

The camera is reading certain signs wrong. But the other funny thing is when on a main road, it sometimes reads the lower speed limit of the parallel service road and adjusts.

Funny??? That’s probably what I hate most about the whole “intelligent” cruise control. It is ridiculous to go from 75 mph down to 45 mph on the highway because it read some damn service road sign.

my wife’s answer to this… don’t ride in the right lane, it’s an ST - use it!

Not so much a feature, but does anyone else have to turn your lighting dial more than once to get to the desired setting? It is like it has a mind of it's own.

You cannot pull the hood release lever without having the driver's door open.

This is a safety feature so that you don't accidentally open the hood while the car is moving. It has a 2 pull hood release rather than a one pull and second release lever under the hood.

When I don't want to carry my keys you can push the bottom 2 (7-8 + 9-0) numbers on the keypad to lock the car with my keys inside. Quicker than using the app imo. Also when unlocking if you type your code followed by 5-6 it will open the back hatch. 5-6 then 3-4 unlocks all doors and opens the hatch also I believe.

The keypad thing applies to all Ford and Lincoln vehicles built over the past few decades!

You got it. We haven't carried our keys in the two years we have had our ST. Well, except when at the dealer for warranty repairs and they insist on having the keys in their hands

I carry my keys because I don't have a keypad on the front door of my house!

So you just leave your keys in the ST all the time?

The recent update pushed down from Ford killed my battery. Had to use the key hidden in the key fob to unlock my doors + jump my battery.

Yes, never an issue in having to find where the wife put the keys if I decide I want to drive it. If need be, she will start the ST with her phone and she always makes sure that it is locked at night with her phone.

Not sure if this one was mentioned.

If you enable the tachometer on the dashboard, from 6,000 RPM to 8,000 RPM will turn red when you accelerate quickly. Most of the time, it's not red.

The middle round button on the seats when pressed turns on/off the message seats.

Thanks for that! I didn't know how to activate them (until now).

We took my wife's ST on a 2k mile road trip (saved a ton versus flying).

One thing I learned that took me by surprise... driver side mirror auto dims. But, I noticed it's only the driver's side. The passenger side looks like it's a standard mirror.
