and this is going to be about a whole bunch of things that you may or may not know about your ford super duty and for you f150 guys you stand by as well because a lot of this stuff will apply .

To you but before we get .

Into this my sponsor super clean would to send you a free box of their products so . What i would you . To do is to my and in the comments section put the word super clean and i will pick one random winner and i’ll send you a box of their goodies so let’s get started okay guys so the first thing i want to show you is how to reboot your navigation screen so the other day i .

Had this problem where i came .

Out i was uh started up my truck and i was in a hurry to get to a meeting and soon . As i turn my truck on i put it in reverse and you know when you put in reverse the reverse camera comes on but you probably also know that your truck also takes a couple seconds to reboot you know usually have that ford emblem that comes on it takes you know five ten . Seconds whatever and .

Then it reboots into this screen that you see right here . So what happened was is that when i put it into reverse . Um just seconds after starting it this screen basically went blank black and i could not get .

It to come back up no matter what i did whether i turned the truck . Back .

On and off whether i pushed buttons it didn’t matter . It just would not come back on so after some research . I figured out how to reboot the screen so stephanie is going to demonstrate here .

For you so the first thing you want to do is push and hold the volume button well you don’t want to do it independently so you and then you take .

Your other finger and you . Go to . The button right of the media and those two buttons right there you’re going to push and hold those go ahead for about five seconds and after about five seconds the screen is gonna . Go blank and it’s gonna stay . Off for a little bit and then you’re gonna see . Uh the ford emblem come . Back up and it’s gonna reboot this is what it would normally do when you first turn on your truck um as soon as . I seen this pop up i . Figured you know i was i was good to go again and i . Was i .

Didn’t have any problems after that and i’ve only had this happen one time . But um yeah so there you go screen should be rebooting up here and there you . Have it so that is how you reboot your navigation screen the next thing we want to show you guys is how to lock . Your truck from the outside without . Using the key fob if your truck comes with this keypad so simple all you . Need to do is press these two bottom buttons at the same time and voila your truck is locked okay guys the next thing i want to show you is how to do some cool . And custom things with your navigation screen but before i get into that i wanted to come over here because i get a .

Lot of questions on this if you look over here above my uh coolant temperature i actually got the actual temperature over there over here i have miles to empty those are i know some of you guys are going to .

Go oh my god full tank 311 miles empty but i’ve been sitting here idling for probably the last uh two hours while making this .

So that’s the reason why that’s so wonky right now . That number up there and if you look over here i got a 103 degrees on my uh coolant temperature over here . So a lot of people always ask .

Well how do you get those up there so in a later i’ll show you .

Guys how to do that using the 4scan software .

And that’s pretty cool and that’ll .

Allow you to do oh hundreds of different things . With your vehicle that you’ll really . you can change tire size in there you can change whether your high beams are on with your headlights i mean go on and on and on there’s a whole bunch of cool things you can do but the . Things i’m going to show . You today . With this . Are just some simple things that you can do with regular with a regular stock truck and this should apply to . The . F150s as well i . Know obviously i’ve got a f250 super duty this is a 2020 uh but it . Should also apply .

To the um f150s so uh what i want to show you guys is that um your your radio is going to have to be on for this so if it’s off turn it on and . Then turn your volume all the . Way down and what you want to do is come over here on the steering wheel you’re going to have your volume buttons up and down and you’re going to .
