I agree. It took some getting used to but now I feel pretty comfortable using it. I usually use a tap of the reset button to get going again rather than the accelerator tap. I use the ACC most of the time. Lets you concentrate on road conditions without a lot of attention to speed control. Much more relaxing ride.

Or just lightly tap the accelerator.

I told my dealer that if they wanted to put one of their dealer ads on my car they will have to pay for it. They didn't even want to negotiate for a fair price. I don't believe they should expect free advertising. And they are a good dealer.

Out on the highway just accelerate from 60 to 70 and then let up on the gas pedal and the car should switch to electric if you have the software update installed.

Just checked mine and it reported the location as my home address which is correct as the car is sitting in the garage. Also tried a lock and unlock which worked okay. I'll try another location query tomorrow when it is at a different location.

I have driven my 2017 MKZ Hybrid for 42,900 miles since purchase in August 2016 and have kept a log of each fill-up over that time. My overall calculated MPG is 42.7. I have summarized my data in monthly increments with the best month being 45.0 actual MPG and the lowest 39.9. Most of my driving has been rural commuting about 18 miles each way on streets/highways with mostly 45 MPH speed limits. I do not try any hypermiling and usually just set the adaptive cruise to the applicable speed limit and let the car/computer do the "driving". I have the climate control set to Auto all the time so don't worry about nursing a few more tenths by not running the AC.These commute trips I drive provide excellent mileage stats with the best single tank fill-up being logged at 47.2 MPG. On occasions when I have taken trips on interstates with 70-75 MPH speed the mileage drops significantly with the lowest single tank fill-up being logged at 34.7 MPG.

Great choice - enjoy your MKZh. Much classier than a Prius. I routinely get 42-44 mpg in mine . I just drive normally, usually using ACC and enjoying the ride. No need to try "hyper " miling.

I have friend with a Lexus RX that says its usually $250+ every time it goes in for an oil change. The last service was $1300 which included a new set of tires at 35k miles. My friend couldn't believe my $50 or less service charge for oil change, filter, tire rotation, etc. I always get a car wash too. In fact my salesman said to come in anytime and see him if I needed a car wash and he will get it done for free.

Not on my 2017 MKZ Hybrid, pushing on the fuel door does not open it. There is a button on the driver's door panel that you push to open the refuel door. It does usually take 3-4 seconds for the door to pop open.

Finally found time to visit the dealer, Have an appointment for next Wednesday to have them check my system. The tech for this is on vacat this week so that is why the delay. I'll post later what they find to be the problem.

Yes I've gone to Nav settings and tried all combinations. Still no verbal commands nor any bell. Hope to get time to visit the dealer week after next. I'll let you know what they find.

I have no verbal route information. When I select a destination, Sync asks me to proceed to the designated route and then obey the navigation commands. The problem is I get no navigation commands beyond the intro message . I cranked up the volume during the intro message but once under way I get nothing. Have not had time lately to take it to the dealer but will in a week or two. Anybody else experience this issue? On one occasion I had to look at the display to see where the next turn was and while looking the car in front of me suddenly stopped. The collision warning system activated and alerted me and saved the day.

I love the stop and go ACC in my 2017. The first few times it is kind of scary in that you approach the car stopping ahead of you and you aren't sure its going to stop, but it always does.

If you are ever concerned about GPS satellite coverage, there is a smart phone app to help. It is GPS Test.

They don't come on with regenerative braking in my 2017 MKZH either. With ACC on and descending a steep hill the car starts using regen braking, no brake light, but if this is not enough to maintain the set speed, then regular hydraulic brakes are applied and then the brake lights come on.
