Found a new feature: nav will show gas stations when Bronco is low on fuel

[pimpjuice]

Like many people on here, I'm a first time Ford owner, so forgive me if this is already well known.

I was driving using the built-in navigation (which I surprisingly really like) and noticed that when you get a low fuel warning the navigation will post gas stations automatically.
It didn't list all of them as I used the one across the street but the icon disappeared as soon as I fueled up.

I just thought this was a cool feature that I would share. About 2 weeks ago I just discovered my headrests can adjust (leather only). Anyone have any other little features they want to share?

You will be seeing that a lot.

You can turn them on in settings too.

It upsets me it still doesn't have a built in logo for Kwik Trip. My 2010 Fusion just had a generic gas station symbol though.

I really like how it can give you a list of what amenities each exit offers when you're on the interstate.

Just driving it turns my Samsung phone into a battery eating pocket heater without even using any phone connected features.

I disassociated my phone after the 2nd day. It did the same to my phone even if I wasn't using any phone connected features.

Man I was hoping someone had a proper solution. I almost never use phone features, but the few times I want to call or take a call or use maps I want it now without re pairing

I wonder if this is part of the Predictive Destinations that you can turn on or off, or just always does it when low on fuel...

mine texted me I was low on gas as I walked away from her!

I never see icons when I use it and I have plenty of fuel, which is why I took notice when it appeared. As soon as I put more gas in, it disappeared.
I'm gonna test it again when this full tank runs out... so maybe tomorrow lol

Is this true or a joke in missing? Lol mine hasn't texted me anything

FWIW, I have the connected built-in nav so no need for maps. But even with the unpairing, Android Auto still picks up my phone and if a call is incoming, it will come up on the infotainment screen. I never answer and dismiss the prompt. And I never call anyone through Android Auto so I don't know about that functionality. But I do know that I unpaired my phone and it is no longer a hot rock of battery drain.

Give it a shot and purposely set up a test where you have someone call you. Worst case is that you re-pair it to the vehicle.

I got out and mine texted me I hate to see you go but I love to see you walk away. I just turned around and smiled. My wife hates my bronco she gets so jealous of our relationship.
