Its a safety feature so you dont pull up in your garage and kill yourself.    Leave the key in the car and it wont quit.

Maybe people should read what they're commenting on before posting useless AND incorrect info.  People shouldn't "guess" at answers to technical questions or questions to which they don't have a clue

My mother in law gave my wife her CRV. She was close to giving up driving anyway. The driving aids sped up the process. The car can be very intrusive and upsetting. Some up the aids can be turned off. The adaptive cruise control can be useful. The most annoying feature is the panic braking. If a car is moving to a turn lane and the painted line is faded. The CRV will panic brake. So you have to ready to tap the gas to override. Otherwise you’re going to get rear ended. All things considered I don’t need any of it. Being a free car I live with it. Can’t wait to see how it all works on a trip.

Well I finally read the LM2 diesel supplement owners manual. 

 

I have idled for extended amount of time. I have not timed it, but I'm sure sure there has been times that its been longer than an hour.

 

There is a 1 line sentence in the supplement manual in regards to Extended Parking. This is good news for us LM2 owners that are used to idling all day.

Put the truck in neutral and apply the parking brake, it’ll keep the truck on for as long as you want it to. I know it’s a bunch of unnecessary steps, but it works wonders for me.

Yep, just found this out myself yesterday. I have a 2021 RST. I was idling with the AC on and the truck shut off after 1 hr. While I agree the truck should shut off when no transmitter is detected, there is absolutely no reason why it should shut off when the transmitter is in the vehicle.

 

I hate the Nanny world we live in.

Yours made it an hour? Mine will shut down in 15 minutes. I'm also irritated it won't let you sit in the truck when its a conformable temp in acc mode for more than 15 minutes.

yep, got me just today, pissed me off! we're in the middle of a heat wave and I was out loading up cargo and tying everything down in the bed while my wife and doggy were in the truck keeping cool with the AC. fun fact, you can't lower the tail gate when the truck isn't in park. neutral, parking brake set, using the manual button on the tailgate itself...nope. no way to lower the gate unless you put it in park. as I was out loading everything up, the stupid thing shut itself down and I had to stop what I was doing to go restart the engine so they don't start cooking in the cabin in 5 minutes time under the sun. Absolutely stupid feature to build into the truck intentionally. imagine if I wasn't just in the back, but rather went inside a store while they were out waiting for me? believe me, if its a store that has rows and rows of power tools, I could easily kill an hour in there while she reads kindle books.

while not ideal, the neutral and parking brake work around will help in that situation. but the tailgate won't lower and the task lights cannot function unless the shifter is in the actual park position. even though its impossible to be driving down the road in N with the parking brake set! so if you need any of those features, the N+Park workaround is too much of a hassle.

Yeah, I found this out the hard way this weekend when my better half arrived back at the truck with bags and asked why the tailgate wouldn't lower. I'm considering the wams method just for this. I just need to figure out if I want to keep this one or get an order for a 2022 with supercruise. I'm really on the fence. Sorry for the offtopic.

I'm sorry your wife isn't allowed to restart your truck and/or she isn't capable of doing it.

She finds restarting it quite difficult when the key is in my pocket.

Even if not is she going to climb over the center console to reach the brake?

SHOCKED!!!    Mine gets 15 min with no key fob, 30 when it's inside the truck.  

 

Absolutely terrible feature.

I don’t think anyone realizes the major fault with this . If you are using your 120 v Invertor goodbye batteries . Yiu need truck running to use it or you kill your batteries . Sorry people any job that takes over 15 minutes with my power tool you will have to call Ford lol  omg no way just kidding

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      Have considered installing a DC to DC charger in your camper to replace your isolator?

      Gas fill door

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
