If you follow the seasonal checklist of vital maintenance tasks as outlined below, you'll keep your car in excellent shape no matter the weather. Your local Ford dealer will be happy to schedule and carry out all necessary seasonal Ford services for you. The Essential Seasonal Checklist for Your Ford's Health Summer Checklist As the heat arrives, keep an eye on your tire pressure. Summer warmth causes air to expand, which can raise the PSI inside your tires. You'll also need to make sure your AC is in great shape. Summer is often a time for vacations and road trips, so make sure you change the oil and check all essential vehicle fluids. You'll also want to have your brakes inspected, and your tires rotated and aligned, before any long journeys. more Fall Checklist As the climate cools and fall comes on, have your battery tested to ensure it can survive the colder months. The nights are now getting longer, so also check your headlights and taillights, replacing any faltering bulbs. Moisture can also begin to rise during fall, so make sure your cabin's dehumidifier is working well, along with the heater. Winter Checklist The toughest season on cars is winter. Just before the cold months start, change to winter tires for safer traction on icy road surfaces. You'll also need to make sure you have the right coolant to resist freezing temperatures; the same goes for your windshield wiper fluid and the wipers themselves. Pay extra attention to your tires during winter as the cold can cause the air pressure inside them to contract. It's also advisable to pack an emergency kit in case you somehow end up stranded outside in the cold. This kit should include a blanket, flashlight, ice scraper, flares, first aid kit, jumper cables, gloves, warm jacket, food, and water, among other things. Prepare to protect your car from the cold as well as you can, and clean your car diligently throughout winter, ensuring no corrosive salty snow builds up on the bodywork or undercarriage. Spring Checklist With winter passed, you'll need to change your tires and windshield wipers back to suitable ones for warmer weather. Have your car thoroughly inspected for signs of winter wear and tear, including a full diagnostic test and engine tune-up. You'll likely need to replace the air filters for both the engine and cabin. And the bodywork may need a fresh layer of wax.

With proper maintenance and care, your Ford can be expected to last 200,000 miles or even more. The way you treat your car will make a big difference to its overall longevity. Heed the following Ford maintenance tips for an optimal vehicle lifespan, and never neglect to have important services carried out at your local Ford dealer. Ford Maintenance: How To Extend the Life of Your Ford Vehicle Change Motor Oil Twice a Year or More The engine is the heart of your car and motor oil keeps it alive and ticking. If you ever skip an oil change, the oil will degrade and your engine will suffer wear and tear, shortening its overall lifespan. Allow us to help you calculate an ideal oil change interval for your model and driving habits; twice a year is a suitable schedule for most drivers. more Have Your Engine Fine-Tuned Regularly Routine engine tunings will also help keep it running smoothly, extending its longevity while also saving you money on gas. It's generally recommended to have your engine tuned once a year. Promptly Repair Minor Malfunctions If your engine starts to misfire, indicating a problem with the spark plugs, ignition coils, catalytic convert, air filter, or something else, have it inspected immediately. Misfiring can be relatively harmless if promptly fixed, but can rapidly escalate into a far more expensive repair job if allowed to worsen. The same goes for any minor fault; always have repairs carried out sooner rather than later. Keep All Essential Vehicle Fluids Fresh In addition to oil changes, you should also keep a close eye on all the fluids in your car. This includes the engine coolant, brake fluid, transmission fluid, power steering fluid, windshield wiper fluid, and differential fluid. Inspect, top up, and flush these fluids as required. Adopt Car-Friendly Driving Habits You can also extend the lifespan of your Ford with a few longevity-minded driving habits. Try to idle as little as possible, turning off the engine when you stop for more than ten seconds. Accelerate gently, avoid regular short trips of under five miles, and don't overload your car with unnecessary cargo. Schedule Maintenance at Your Ford Dealer Some drivers have the best intentions but simply forget about one or two important services. Then before they know it, a part of their car has suffered serious wear and tear and has a curtailed lifespan. One excellent way to avoid accidental mistakes like this is to schedule comprehensive routine services at your local dealership. That way, our courteous technicians can politely remind you if you ever forget an oil change or brake inspection. There's no need to struggle to maintain your car alone. Our friendly, highly experienced technicians are here to help. Visit Mike Fitzpatrick Ford in Newnan, GA, today to set up a rock-solid maintenance schedule that fits conveniently into your busy lifestyle.

The specific software onboard the models at your Ford dealer will vary by trim, but you can always access your preferred advanced safety software by placing a custom order at your local dealership.

Pre-Collision Assist can automatically stop your vehicle when potential collisions are detected. more Active Park Assist Active Park Assist is another common driver assistance feature for Ford models, although the specific technology varies. Some models may have Active Park Assist 2.0, while others have Enhanced Active Park Assist. The basic Active Park Assist feature can identify an appropriate parking spot and will control the steering of the vehicle while you focus on brake and acceleration control. The Enhanced Active Park Assist feature includes programming that assists with exiting a parallel parking spot and completing perpendicular parking maneuvers in reverse. The Active Park Assist 2.0 system takes control over all steering, braking, and acceleration functions once a parking spot has been located so you can park your vehicle hands-free. Ford BlueCruise Ford BlueCruise is a hands-free driving program that can be activated on over 130,000 miles of highways in the USA. With this system, your Ford vehicle can steer itself, manage brake control, and accelerate along with traffic all while your hands are off the wheel.

Whether you're moving slowly through stop-and-go traffic or cruising along the highway, your car is looking out for you.

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.

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.

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.
