Southern California Ford Dealers have seen trends come and go through the years. One thing remains the same: When a family is interested in buying a vehicle, their number-one concern is safety.
Now more than ever before, safety is the main issue on everyone’s mind. Not too far behind safety come questions about comfort, reliability, and affordability.
Luckily, our professionally-trained Southern California Ford dealers can help narrow down what’s most important.
Safety
We are immensely proud of the Ford Co-Pilot360 System. Acting as an all-encompassing safety feature, Ford Co-Pilot360 provides California drivers with six different elements and varying degrees of innovation. This safety feature is a literal lifesaver.
The Ford Co-Pilot360 System comes standard on almost all makes and models and includes the following safety features:
Pre-Collision Assist With Automatic Emergency Braking
Depth perception while driving in the dark can be a real challenge for some. Pre-Collision Assist uses in-car technology to scan the road ahead and alert you to potential collisions with vehicles or pedestrians it detects in your path. If an object is detected, a warning flashes on the windshield and an alarm sounds. If you are alerted and take no action, the brakes are applied automatically. The brakes are only applied if you need them - not if you don’t.
BLIS (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross-Traffic Alert
If you worry about taking your eyes off the road in front of you to check behind you, the BLIS with Cross-Traffic alert can aid in the detection of vehicles in your blind spot.
Active even when you’re not moving, radar systems on either side of your car detect when a car is present and in your blind spot. A light comes on in the corresponding side-view mirror to alert you to the vehicle you may not be able to see. *This system only detects motorized vehicles, not bikes, walkers, or other objects.*
Cross-Traffic Alert uses three alerts to warn you a moving car is coming from either side when you’re backing up: a light on the corresponding side-view mirror, a chime, and a message on the message screen.
Auto High Beam Headlights
Offered as a standard feature, the auto beam headlights can sense poor lighting conditions and automatically turn on to increase visibility.
Evasive Steering Assist
This available feature can help make it easier to avoid a potential collision. It does not steer for you, but it provides steering support if the system warning goes off and you need to maneuver around the vehicle ahead.
Lane-Keeping System
This feature keeps you in your lane, especially in a moment of distraction, by constantly scanning your positioning within your lane and alerting you should you deviate from it.
Head-Up Display
Available on most vehicles, this safety feature is great for everyone, but especially for families on the go. You know your eyes should always be on the road, and we know that sometimes, that can be a challenge! With Ford’s Head-Up Display you get all the critical driving information you need without taking your eyes off the road.
The Head-Up Display is designed to show images regarding current speed, navigation, and information regarding your pre-collision assist on a display screen in front of you as you look through the windshield.
Comfort
Families consistently ask about rear air ducts, and on most Ford models, they come standard! No complaints from the rear passengers about being too hot while the front seat passengers are freezing.
Everybody rides in comfort with sliding seats for extra legroom, soft-cloth plush front bucket seats, and the convenience of SYNC 3 for touchscreen navigation, music, climate control, and enhanced voice recognition. SYNC 3 is available with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility.
Reliability
Ford consistently ranks high in reliability on most model cars, trucks, and SUVs. Families can rest assured that once they’re all geared up and ready to go, their Ford is ready to go, too.
An added comfort is FordPass, a mobility app that allows the user to access complimentary remote features like start/stop, lock/unlock, schedule a start, locate vehicle, and vehicle status checks. With this app, you can see current fuel levels, service history, warranty information - even when it’s time for an oil change.
Affordability
Ford’s commitment to producing quality vehicles at an affordable price has never waned. A safe, dependable vehicle is an investment, but with our competitive pricing and reasonable financing plans, we can help find the best car for your budget. Look at our current deals, compare pricing on our available models, and get pre-approved on our website before you even step inside a dealership.
Growing families can rely on our highly-trained salespeople to listen to their top concerns and help find their perfect vehicle. Together, we can find exactly what suits your family best at a Southern California Ford dealership near you.
