Why would a 4 door car have that ? lol
What is Auto glide?
Adjustable Lumbar?? Not many Fords have that on the passenger side! Mustangs and maybe the Taurus?
You could VERY easily add your own.
That is what she will have to do. She was mumbling about a pillow.
Autoglide: the seat moves forward when seat back is folded forward. This allows more room for back seat passengers to enter car.
It is on light duty sitting in the garage (just being driven on the weekends.) The wife says I need to sell it, but I've been delaying.
The wife and I are driving the new car every day back and forth to work (80 mile round trip.) It has over 1800 miles on it already. We're getting about 24 to 25MPG with both of us in it and doing 70MPH on I-20/30. AT 55/60 I more than likely could do over 28/29 MPG. But that is not me. You could get flatten going that slow on I-20!
That same trip and speed is 21 to 22 MPG in HOTLNC and 19 to 20 MPG in CREMPF.

U.S. probes Ford Fusion on reports of trapped pedals
1 hr 37 mins ago
DETROIT (Reuters) – U.S. safety regulators have opened a preliminary investigation into the possibility that accelerator pedals could be entrapped by floormats in Ford Motor Co (F.N) 2010 Fusion and Mercury Milan sedans.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said it had verified three complaints of accelerator pedals being trapped by unsecured "all-weather" floormats in the current production model year of the Fusion.
The NHTSA warned owners not to place unsecured floormats on top of the standard, carpeted floormat on the driver's side. It opened an investigation on Friday that covers an estimated 249,301 Fusion and Milan sedans.
Ford spokesman Said Deep said instructions imprinted on the automaker's all-weather floormats warn owners not to place them on top of existing floormats, as does the packaging.
"We do not recommend stacking floormats in any vehicle," Deep said. "We will cooperate fully with NHTSA as we always do."
The NHTSA said it had received no complaints involving crashes, injuries or fatalities in the Ford vehicles. Any optional all-weather floormats should be installed only after removing the standard floormats, the agency said.
Dan Edmunds, director of vehicle testing at Edmunds.com, described in mid-April an incident of unintended acceleration in a 2010 Fusion hybrid caused when the accelerator pedal became entrapped by a stacked floormat.
Edmunds said the accelerator became stuck for three or four seconds after he passed slower traffic on his commute to work before returning to normal. A second experimental acceleration had a similar result, he said in a web posting.
He reported the incident to the NHTSA.
Similar complaints were raised about Toyota Motor Corp (7203.T) vehicles that were later the subject of massive recalls starting last year.
The issue of unintended acceleration has prompted Toyota to recall more than 8 million vehicles worldwide, including 6.5 million in the United States, and pay a record $16.4 million fine to U.S. safety regulators.
Shares of Ford were down 21 cents at $11.52 in afternoon New York Stock Exchange trading.

Yeah I saw that. We put in a cheap set of floor mats we got from Wal-Mart to protect the OEM mats. They were NOT all weather mats. While driving in this morning I checked the pedal spacing from the floor while doing 70. I could still stick my left shoe under the pedal, with room to spare.
Even if I do a WOT, it would be hard for the pedal to stick under the mat.
I'm not going to worry about it.
