MJNewton Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 It does indeed sound like that, but unfortunately it isn't... ;-) It is Ford's embellished name for the fact that it has an alternator that can be electrically disconnected from the battery so that it reduces drag on the engine when charging is not required. Under braking or engine overrun the alternator can be switched back in making use of the 'free' energy available to it. You could argue that *all* cars have regenerative braking in this sense, however Ford seem to have used the term given that they can turn it off and therefore turning it back on again is somewhat more 'intentional' and thus worthy of the name! I have seen it referred to by the more accurate name of 'Smart Regenerative Charging' and so it is probably better to use that term instead of what ETIS says. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJNewton Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Go through your menu and compare with the (generic) manual - it'll be obvious if you've got the option of pairing your phone up. (I'd give you more specific instruction if I could recall it but I've only done it once!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJNewton Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 ...or just wait?! (Or is bluetooth a dealbreaker?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjay1 Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 if it has a sync module it includes bluetooth and so a separate Bluetooth module is not required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenners Posted April 17, 2017 Author Share Posted April 17, 2017 It has sync that must be it then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenners Posted April 18, 2017 Author Share Posted April 18, 2017 In fact it doesn't list sync on that link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yokomoko Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 I have a Black Edition. You'll love it. The only thing I hate about my Fiesta is the shoddy build quality (Don't let anyone touch those bumpers). When I had my rear bumper resprayed after my neighbour kindly left his handbrake off one night the guy said the bumper is actually foobared and would need replacing, although he said Ford will never notice after he does a respray. This is because there is nothing behind the bumper to stop it flexing and breaking, most other cars have a cheap solution of some kind of foam behind the bumper. to cushion soft blows. I'm sure this is lining the pockets of Ford shareholders though. Oh and careful you don't scuff those lovely black wheels! Fortunately, I had them covered (and I've scuffed and had them repaired maybe 6 times in 2 years). The speed difference with the better ratios will have you wowing though if you've come from a 100/125PS. Even the later Fiestas are quickly looking dated now though with those screens and the new Fiesta coming out next year doesn't look to too enough to modernise it, but hey, they're cheap and come with a crazy amount of options for a decent price so you can't have everything :P Edit - It will definitely come with Sync if it's a Mk7.5 Zetec S Black Edition :) They come with the Sony stereos found in the Titaniums and will definitely 100% include Sync.
