Every Ford includes an advanced drive assistance system called Co-Pilot360. This system helps protect you and your passengers by warning you of potential dangers on the road. You'll receive visual and audio alerts of impending danger so you can take control and prevent an accident. As your Ford dealer, we want to tell you how some of these systems work. Pre-Collision Alert with Automatic Emergency Braking This system uses radar and a camera to scan the area in front of your Ford for vehicles, pedestrians, or animals. If an object is identified, the radar determines your distance from the object and compares this to your speed. If the system determines you're closing too fast and there's a collision risk, an audio alert sounds, and a warning icon appears on your screen. This allows you to hit the brakes and prevent an accident. more Some drivers can freeze if an accident appears likely, losing the opportunity to prevent it from happening. If you don't react fast enough after you receive warnings, the system will automatically apply hard braking to stop your Ford and hopefully prevent a collision. Reverse Brake Assist This feature makes reversing much safer by alerting you to vehicles or pedestrians that may pass behind you. It uses sensors to monitor the area directly behind your vehicle and to its left and right. If the sensors detect movement, you'll hear an audible warning and a visual warning will appear on your screen to identify the moving object's location. This gives you time to brake and avoid an accident. Blind Spot Assist Accidents can easily happen when changing lanes, as it's almost impossible to see something enter one of your blind spots. This system uses sonar to watch your blind spots and identify any vehicle that enters one. When you're about to indicate to shift lanes or are actively steering in that direction, you'll be warned if a vehicle is already present in that lane. A warning tone will sound, a warning will appear on your screen, and an icon will appear on the corresponding side mirror. These warnings give you a heads-up to apply the brakes or turn away until the other vehicle has gone. These are just some of the many ways Co-Pilot360 keeps you safe. If you'd like to know more about the safety features of your vehicle, contact us today at Chestatee Ford in Dahlonega, GA.

Is it time for new headlights? Here's how to tell if you need to head over to the Ford dealer to brighten up your drive. You Think You Need Glasses If you are starting to think that maybe you need glasses, or maybe you're not cut out for driving at night, this could actually be because your headlights are starting to grow dim. It's not something that's immediately obvious. Instead, you usually just start feeling that you're having to squint a lot at night. Before you worry that the problem is you, have your headlights checked out at the dealership to make sure they're shining the way they should and providing you with enough light to drive. You Notice Flickering Sometimes, a light doesn't actually burn out, but it does start flickering. This usually means you have a loose connection in there somewhere, and it is liable to flicker out completely at the worst possible moment. Come see us, and we'll take care of this to make sure you can rely on your headlights whenever you need them. more One Light Is Out It's frustrating when one light goes out, and it's very tempting to just ignore it until the second light goes out. For one thing, this is illegal. Not only do you not have enough light to see if you've only got one headlight, but one burnt out bulb makes you confusing to oncoming drivers. They are likely to think you're a motorcycle, and that means they're going to misjudge your width and where you are on the road. More than that, however, once one light goes out, it becomes very likely that the second will go out. That's because bulbs are installed in pairs. Just bring it by and we'll quickly give you a new set. Things Are Looking Hazy If you take a look at your lights during the day and notice that they look hazy and yellowed, the problem could be the lights to themselves or it could just be your headlight covers. When you drop it by, we can see if the covers can be cleaned. If that's possible, that might be all that needs to happen. If the covers have gotten too damaged by exposure to the elements, we can replace them or replace the bulbs as necessary. ​Schedule service with us at Chestatee Ford in Dahlonega, GA today for headlight service.
