How much rev are we talking abt, bro? 2-3 rpms?

I have rev 4-5 rpm before 1000km.
The feeling is so nice.

Everything is good. But then my bluetooth & USB is not working properly.

-pWs-

The engineers from Ford US said they used L mode exclusively on Fiesta for thousand of miles and no problem so far.

when should to Use L?

when u want to rev up to higher rpm

Saw a s-max at tint shop today. Damn nice la.

when going up/down a steep hill. otherwise, just use D. sprinting in L feels tak syiok.. like the engine is strained too hard.

use L mode to feel the power and pickup, probably during a street race or adrenalin rush hour...
not recommended for uphill or downhill, the hill assist button is better
fyi, our L mode is totally different concept from others such as Proton or Perodua L mode

but there's too much engine braking once u let go of the throttle in L mode. so if wanna race, really need to floor the pedal all the way, dont lift ur foot at all. if not steep gradient, hill assist is better. but if steep gradient, or going down genting, L mode is better.

I second that.

nope, L is not applicable when u going down from genting, as the L for fofi is lowest gear available, not lowest gear as normal cars, as one of the fofi owners uncle farid reaches 180km/h with L, when going uphill or downhill oni used hill assist button

thanx bro! got mine already just now called to SDAC service centre at inderawasih, the service advisor told me that fiesta dont need 1k km service. next service is at 10k km and i need to bring a voucher for free service and parts. this is the first car in my life that i dont hav to service at its 1k km. quite odd for me.

But using hill asist when going down a steep hill is not helpful, as it only disables final gear, and stays in slightly higher revs in each gear. I go down a very steep hill everyday when coming back from work, and i found L is helpful, pretty much like engine braking. I can go down the hill with minimal braking compared to other gears.

Help, i can't find my "L" in my manual gearbox,

No L mode for manual. You control the gear manually.

This one is epic.

Test drove the Mondeo this morning... Only 2 things that really impressed me n my wife:-

1) rear passenger sitting position + legroom
2) phone call via Bluetooth

i just make joke only, i know that i dont have L, haha

Eh, u're not impressed with the ecoboost engine?

Sort of.... Becoz even though the torque is 300NM but due to heavy chassis, the acceleration is just ok. Been told that the Mondeo used hydraulic for power steering instead of EPS... The audio system also quite bad even though the NVH for this car is good.
