  2. Is9: Like you, my spell check function was not working with Firefox 19.0.2 until I did the following... If you right click inside the text box, you should see a menu box that shows "Undo, Cut, Copy, Paste, Delete, Select All, Check Spelling, Languages". If you see a menu box different from this, right click one more time in the text box and you should see the described menu box. Make sure "Check Spelling" has a check mark in front of it, otherwise left click on that line to select the check mark. Then right click the text box again to reveal the same menu box and put your cursor over "Languages", which should reveal "English (United States)". If there's no circle shown to the left side of the "English (United States)" line, left click on that line to select the dictionary for use. Misspellings should now be squiggle-underlined in red. Good luck!
  3. Canyon premium leather seats, Olive Ash wood package. No regrets after buying the MKX from a distant dealer's stock in order to get factory-installed Class II trailer tow package and to qualify for $5,500 purchase incentive. Good luck!
  4. Wayne: There is no direct interchangability between the Edge & MKX grilles, because the vehicles' front end components -- fenders, headlights, hood, bumper cover, and front valance -- are unique to each model. Good luck!
  5. Limited: Sorry, I should've noticed you are North of the Border! Perhaps this Ford/Lincoln of Canada site can help you with your search. Good luck! 2013 MKX - Canada Brochure.pdf 2013 Lincoln MKX Product Portfolio - USA.pdf
  6. Midwest: Congratulations to your daughter on recent her Ford Edge purchase. Based upon your first post, questions you may offer should not prompt the admonishment that was delivered in the thread you referenced. We're all here to learn about our vehicles and to share our experiences. Good luck!
  7. On the MKX, the 18-inch polished wheels are included in the Premium Package, Equipment Group 101A. The standard wheels are painted. Good luck! 2012 Lincoln MKX Vehicle Colors-Interiors-Wheels.pdf
  8. After self-updating to SYNC V3.5.1 several months ago, I noticed the Ambient Lighting carousel of spheres was initially slow to respond to attempts to change color settings using the TOUCH Screen. A few weeks ago, I did a Hard Reset and a Master Reset and your post reminded me that I had not turned Ambient Lighting back to ON, so I just checked it. I'm now finding the carousel of colored sheres will not consistently rotate & adjust the Ambient Lighting color unless the parking lights or headlights are turned on. As before, however, the actual Ambient Lighting does not turn on inside the cabin unless the auto-headlight sensor finds dark conditions -- though I tested the system by electrical taping-over that sensor atop the dash. Attached is a TOUCH Screen photo, which shows the Ambient Lighting is turned ON, indicated by the glowing tab to the right of the power switch icon in the lower left quadrant of the TOUCH Screen. My experience with V3.5.1 is Ambient Lighting does function when turned ON, but color-setting is a little quirky using the TOUCH Screen without parking or headlights turned on. Good luck!
  9. Capt: I appreciate your observation and I am finding a different result. My vehicle's Battery Saver function shuts off the map light after 10 minutes, although opening a door reactivates the map light until the mechanical switch is cycled to OFF by pushing upward on the lens a second time -- as you describe -- or, another 10 minutes passes and the Battery Saver deactivates the map light once again. Good luck!

  11. http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/11356-fold-flat-passenger-seat-gone/ Good luck!
  12. Oskar: The 10-minute interval you describe could be the Battery Saver function shutting off the lights after the failure of the 25-second timer function to do it. Per Dingo's observation, the lights should turn off if you lock the doors with the Remote or the Keyless Entry Keypad on the door. Good luck!
  13. Attached image is text from 2013 Edge Owner's Guide... Good luck!
  14. Cajun: Attached image shows 2012 Ford Edge trailer towing capacities with & without factory-installed Class II Trailer Tow Package... Good luck!
  15. The 2013 Edge Owner's Guide 3rd Edition (an October 2012 revision) on page 106 says the icon is an RTT that "will illuminate when you turn the parking lights on" and on page 103 explains "Some warning indicators are reconfigurable telltales (RTT). These indicators appear in the information display and function the same as a warning light, but do not display on startup." The Owner's Guide 2nd Edition does not include the icon among RTTs that it explains. Omar302 may be correct about this being an Information Display update that the dealer can activate via new software or revised programming. The icon would certainly provide a welcome confirmation of the automatic turn-on of headlights during daytime windshield wiper usage. Good luck!
  16. The 2013 Edge Owner's Guide on page 486 says Recirculated Air "May turn off in all airflow modes except MAX A/C to reduce fog potential." My 2012 MKX Owner's Guide adds the word "automatically" after the above words "May turn off..." You are doing nothing wrong. What you are experiencing is the Recirculated Air function deactivating itself, by design. Ford doesn't presume we're all dummies, but there really are drivers out there who would not figure out why their windows are fogging up if Recirculated Air did not automatically deactivate. The Climate system's inability to consistently remember the previous ignition cycle's Climate system settings is a frustration to many of us. Hopefully, a future SYNC update may fix that. If you are running SYNC version 3.5.1, your "Battery Saver - System Off" symptom is usually the result of a disconnected battery cable and it typically goes away after driving a minimum of 10 miles and performing a few ignition cycles and/or after the vehicle sets unused overnight. This has been my experience. Good luck!
  17. I expect the trim panel you are describing is swinging down from the panel edge nearest the firewall and deepest in the foot well. On my MKX, the trim panel is attached with push pins at the bottom of the dashboard face and has a single rigid tab molded in the middle of the trim panel edge that's nearest the firewall. The rigid tab sits atop the carpet-insulator pad and retains the trim panel in its appropriate upward position, keeping it out of the foot well. Take a look or feel around the top edge of the carpet-insulator pad, where it forms a shelf that the tab should sit on top off & be retained. If that shelf area has rounded off, you may be able to put some cardboard behind that specific area to push the insulator pad inboard enough to retain the tab and keep the trim panel in place. Or, you can use Duck Tape. Good Luck!
  18. For model years 2011, 2012, and 2013, the Lincoln Product Portfolio documents for MKX say the 3.7L V-6 with Ti-VCT engine includes "Adaptive knock spark control system “learns” and adjusts to deliver optimum performance based on the fuel’s octane level", however, there is no statement to that effect in the MKX Owner's Guide. While I do not find that statement in Ford Source Book entries that describe the same engine in the Edge Sport, I expect the adaptive performance capability that exists in the MKX's 3.7L V-6 also exists in the Edge Sport's 3.7L V-6. Good luck!
  19. I'm wondering about the knocking noise when he's panning under the engine, beginning at 2:40 or so.
  20. My 2012 MKX has no engine noise comparable to yours. If you have not already, you may want to call the Lincoln Customer Relationship Center at 800-521-4140. Be prepared to provide them your vehicle VIN, the dealership name and the dates of your Service visits and also who you spoke with at the dealership. Make sure you mention the video you've posted to YouTube. (The search directions you provided here allowed me to immediately find your video.) I expect they will promptly address your problem through the dealership. Hopefully, Forum users thirdgenlxi, Dingo, and akirby will offer their expert opinions on the problem that is evident in your YouTube video after your vehicle comes off high idle speed. Good luck!
  21. My suggestion was based on my experience a few years ago buying a non-Edge Ford vehicle, and the dealer did what I requested. If the dealer had not subtracted the optional value of the removed wheels that he replaced with standard wheels, I would have gone to another dealer. But you don't know what the dealer is willing to do to get the sale until you ask them. Good luck!
  22. Tell the dealer you love the vehicle, but you hate the 20" wheels and you'll not buy unless they swap out the 20" wheels for 18" wheels from another vehicle. As Dingo describes, the change may have no significant effect on the accuracy of the speedometer. The dealer might do it to get your business and should reduce the purchase price of the vehicle by the approximate cost of the 20" wheel option. Good luck!
