Mk 8 deep sleep mode?

Featured Replies

Mk 8 Titanium 125 69 plate.

Yesterday when I got into my car the information screen that normally shows the Ford blue oval logo was blank. On reversing out of my garage the reversing camera was not working. After getting out and shutting the garage door the information screen was up and running. As I drove away I noticed that the car position arrow on the GPS was out of position. Slightly forward and about 60 yards to the left. After about 30 seconds of driving the arrow re-aligned itself to the correct position.

This morning when I got in the car everything was as it should be. Ford blue oval logo straight up on the screen, reversing camera workig and GPS positiion correct.

Yesterday was the first time I had used the car for 5 days and once before when I hadn't used the car for 4 days I had the same symptoms.

I vaguely recollect having read somewhere that the car can go into a deep sleep mode. Is this what is causing my issues? Has anyone else had this?

Before anyone asks the battery is fine, 12.4 volts and stop/start working every trip.



Hi John. I regularly don't use my car for several days at a time (5 days is not unhead of) and the car will display a warning on the main screen advising to switch the car on or turn off, along with a countdown bar. That's the only indication of 'deep sleep' I've seen.

As soon as I start the car the screen works as normal.

Hi Gary & Roger

I also get that on rare occasions. I am not too worried about my topic problem as it clears it'self in about 3 minutes. I might try a master reset at some time and see if hat has any affect.
