Yes.
Just to go through scroll tec and press a button on the dash like, would do fine as an option, many other things can be there as some cars can show up like, if one looks for such things.
On another note.
If only people knew that if the engine is retarding from the set timing even by 2 deg, then the engine is creating more pollution, remember the pathetic reaction to the VW etc did not cut the updated EURO laws and they all ran around like chooks with there heads cut off. but the thing was it still met or past the later EURO laws. but we have how many cars running about that are not running totally efficient, running about on 91 octane when they should be truly running on 95 octane. like the FG 4.0L and 3.6L VE-F, only they can get away with running 91 because the computer can retard the timing so it will not ping.
We were all supposes to be running 95 octane but J Gillard stoped that law.
Look at the power figures of the FG 4.0L ford showed the 98 power figures and the 95 and the 91 figures is stated all the time but she makes more power on 95 and more on 98 so that just goes to show the proof that the engine was made for better than 91 octane. I have them power figures some where if anyone wants.
