reply to carysbluesky   Your regular battery is not used to start your car the 330V Hybrid battery is. Regenerative braking recharges the batteries without using any excess fuel, like the ICE does. I also believe you are mistaken, the regenerative braking does quite a bit of recharging of the batteries according to my guages.

Replying to: edhedh65 (Sep 05, 2006 8:45 am) It fits perfectly. I had a Z1 installed upon taking delivery of my 06 FEH. Works great. Had it installed by a vender through the dealer; this way it's under warranty via Ford.

Replying to: mperski (Dec 21, 2007 6:30 am) Careful, the FEH will not start if the traditional 12v car battery is dead. It is needed to trip some relays that allow the 330v HVBattery to start the ICE with MG1. [But with the 12v battery constantly being recharged by the HVBattery, this should be very rare] Replies to this message: stevedebi (Dec 21, 2007 4:05 pm)

Replying to: mecheng1 (Dec 21, 2007 8:22 am) "It is needed to trip some relays that allow the 330v HVBattery to start the ICE with MG1. "   In the Toyota system, the 12 volt battery powers up the computers so that the car can start. I'm not sure about the Ford system.

Can anyone recommend a source for decent carpeted floor mats? The originals on my new 2008 Mariner are the only weak point in the vehicle!   Thanks, John Dixson Replies to this message: cozdiver (Dec 29, 2007 10:09 am) johndix60 (Dec 30, 2007 7:30 pm)
