I can find the Power Point settings in the 2018 spreadsheet but there is no "data to the right" to see what changed need to be made. And the spreadsheet seems to only be a partial sheet with no way to download it. etc.

726-39-01 0101 0069 as my 2017 was built

726-39-01 ???? 0069 but no indication what to change the ???? to.

It seems that several things are going on here, so I’ll try to answer as many as I can;

First, the 2018 Power Point code will not work on your 2017 (if that’s what you are trying to do)

Second, what device are you using to access the Google spreadsheet? Even on my iPad I can slide the 2018 sheet over to access the Power Point calculation link.

Third, will someone else try accessing the FORScan spreadsheet (post #684) to see if they have any errors? Sometimes Google will be down/not working properly.

I hope this helps.

I haven't seen anything on low fuel warning. Is there a way to change the alert to come on, say at 1/4 tank. That way maybe my wife won't park it on empty! Lol

I found out if the my key option is used, it will give a earlier low fuel warning than normal. Now I just have to trick the wife into using the restricted key.

Haha! Might be, Never looked. My wife has the opposite problem. I don’t think she waits long enough.

I can take a look this weekend.

Funny that the discussion around modifying the low fuel warning point comes up - this is driving me nuts on my 2017. Comes on at DTE 30 miles, which when out in the country puts me at risk of finding a station if I don't stop preemptively. I got very used to the DTE 50 miles that my older Nav would flag at. If anyone finds a way to modify, I would be VERY interested. Thanks!

Thanks @mquick5 - I think I need to go do some reading and learn about mykey and restricted key. I read your post at first and thought I would need to use some kind of valet key or something, but maybe this is something that's programmable in my key. Not looking to add any restrictions to my vehicle use ;-)

It should all be explained in your owners manual. You can set stuff like speed limit radio volume, but can also just leave them off. I don't know how much earlier the fuel warning will kick in, the manual just says that it does. And the my key is just programed from the dash.

Currently the wife is using the my key fob. Once she gets the low fuel warning, I'll report the dte. I turned everything off in the dash control. She informed me that the radio will not play until your seat belt is fastened. Not sure about passenger buckling up. I do know my truck never alerted about passenger belt, with the regular key. And I never changed this in forscan. I also know my uncles 2017 F150's radio won't play until both front passengers are buckled. So I wonder if he is using a my key fob?

My key update:

The low fuel warning came on for my wife today, reporting 52 miles till empty. So it seams the low fuel warning is aproximitly 20 miles earlier.
