Car wash

[Jim Severence]

This might be a dumb question, but what do you do when you bring your trucks thru the carwash. I was concern of the FCW activation, so I disable it for the carwash and then later turn it on. I also turn off the front and back bumper sensors.

I just drive mine through......but then again, don't have many options on mine either.

Sorry, not much help I guess.

I don't think it activates when you're in neutral. I can't remember any time I had to turn mine off

I only have the parking ones though

Since we are on this. Any one take their crew cab longbed through a touchless car wash. I think it will fit, just haven't tried lol.

FCW is only active if you are traveling faster than 3mph. I know parksense is off in Park, never tried in neutral.

Haven't been through a drive thru car wash in decades. They used to be brutal. Improved as of late, perhaps but still inclined to steer the other way. On the subject of car (truck) washing, gadgets and gizmos, this is my first experience with the keyless enter-n-go system and find it amusing that washing the vehicle with the FOB in ur pocket results in the vehicle unlocking every time you direct a stream of water a the door handle. The engineers figured that out... right?

Disable it quick! Mine activated in neutral and I didn't know what happened and panicked as there was a minivan behind me. Thought the bumps I felt were the rollers under the tires, last one was the minivan and he let into to the horn. Once I figured out what happened, pulled forward and straight into a parking spot at the end. Got out and saw the minivans bumper was pulled off. After some discussion, many applogies from me, we talked about exchanging insurance. He declined as we both knew where a rear end strike would go, to him. We looked at my truck, not a scratch on the class V receiver hitch.

I felt bad for the guy and if I had some cash in my wallet I would have given it to him. Had the truck for 6 days when this occurred.
