| Face Out |
| As described. When parked, you want your egress to be as clean as possible. Instead of ICE-On, Reverse, Brake, Drive, pull forward, you pull in to whatever parking lot, area, Face-Out. What it does is eliminate Reverse or any unintended fuel use to spin around. Some can use this technique even from their home with limited or no fuel consumption with a FAS based turn around Face-Out. If your drive allows (mine does) you are in a FAS coming into your drive, pull into the highest spot, coast back while spinning the car around 180 degrees to a slightly lower spot. You are now Face-Out for your next days or drives egress. Even if you do not FAS, it is best to spin your car around when it is already warmed up then in the morning from dead cold. Your fuel consumption at dead cold is much higher then when warm. Pros, lower fuel consumption. Cons, have to be careful that someone would not pull in behind and limit your ability to load your trunk. Higher fuel consumption if used with a FAS incorrectly. |
