The safety features of a modern Ford are smart, reliable, and remarkably sophisticated. Whether you're moving slowly through stop-and-go traffic or cruising along the highway, your car is looking out for you. Let's look at some of the most advanced Ford safety features of today, which come either as standard or optional in your preferred Ford model. Advanced Safety Technologies in Ford Vehicles Adaptive Cruise Control With Adaptive Cruise Control, your car can take over the accelerating, braking, and steering while following vehicles ahead at a preset distance. This allows you to rest with your eyes on the road, reducing driver fatigue during long drives. The Stop-and-Go feature allows your car to come to a complete halt in traffic before automatically starting up again, and Speed Sign Recognition prevents it from going too fast. more Blind Spot Information System This feature reduces the risk of the driver failing to notice a vehicle in their blind spots. Your car monitors these blind spots at all times and warns you when something is approaching. Similarly, Cross-Traffic Alert observes your blind spots when reversing onto a road, alerting you if another vehicle is coming. Pre-Collision Assist Your chances of experiencing a frontal collision are greatly reduced by Pre-Collision Assist, which monitors the road ahead and warns you of any collision threats. Your car can detect threats from both vehicles and pedestrians. If you don't respond immediately to the visual and audible warning, your car can activate Automatic Emergency Brakes to evade the collision. Furthermore, Evasive Steering Assist generates extra steering support to help you steer clear more easily. Lane-Keeping System It's vital for drivers to remain strictly in the center of their lanes, especially when moving at high speeds. Lane-Keeping Assist monitors the lane markers and alerts you if you unintentionally begin to drift toward a neighboring lane. If you wander repeatedly, you'll see a coffee cup icon appear on the dashboard, prompting you to take a break.

The suspension of your Ford is designed to withstand enormous pressure while keeping your drives safe, smooth, and all but silent. However, over time, even the toughest of shocks and struts can slightly wear down, which sometimes causes the wheels to become misaligned. This can threaten your handling and tire safety. Read on to learn why routine wheel alignment checks and corrections at your local Ford dealership are vital for proper vehicle maintenance. The Importance of Wheel Alignment Checks for Your Ford Prevent Crooked Wheels From Veering Your Car All cars are designed for the wheels to be perfectly parallel and centered when viewed from above, in front, or the side. However, all wheels knock against occasionally potholes and curbs. The accumulation of these bumps can combine with ordinary wear and uneven tires to slowly push the wheels out of alignment. This process of misalignment, which might take months or years to become noticeable, can eventually cause the car to pull to one side, posing a safety hazard. During an alignment check, our technicians will identify any discrepancies in the alignment of your wheels, no matter how minor, and promptly carry out any required corrections. more Keep Your Steering Wheel Properly Centered As wheels come out of alignment, unusual pressure is exerted on connected car parts. The steering system is often impacted, making the wheel feel looser and less precise in your hands. If this problem is allowed to develop, the steering wheel can become pushed off-center, making it harder to maintain a straight course. Enhance the Traction and Lifespan of Your Tires The tires are also significantly affected by misaligned wheels. When the wheels are at awkward angles, the tires wear down unevenly, which shortens their lifespan and heightens the risk of skids and other tire trouble. The safety hazards created by wheel misalignment are the main reason to have your wheels regularly inspected. Enjoy Smoother, Quieter Driving When the wheels aren't properly aligned, road friction is increased. This will make your car noisier and rougher to drive. As suspension faults are responsible for wheel misalignment, you might also hear squeaking, clunking, and other strange sounds from worn-out suspension parts below. Book Biannual Alignment Checks at Your Ford Dealership Fortunately, wheel misalignment is easily resolved. Simply arrange for an alignment check whenever you take your car in for an oil change, twice a year for most drivers. Our skillful technicians can quickly examine your wheels with sophisticated alignment machinery and determine whether or not they need to be realigned. If your wheels require realignment, the procedure only takes an hour, often less. Visit Mike Fitzpatrick Ford in Newnan, GA, today to have your wheels and tires examined and corrected by qualified technicians. Along with an extensive inventory of excellent new and used Ford vehicles, we provide prompt maintenance services and personalized customer care.
