With a huge number of vehicles on the market, many drivers are basing their car-buying choices on which cars have innovative features that are going to benefit them during their day-to-day lives. The vehicles you'll find at your Ford dealer have plenty of those. If you're looking for a three-row SUV when you head to the dealer, then you'll want to check out the 2024 Ford Explorer. A Closer Look at the Innovative Features of the 2024 Ford Explorer at Your Ford Dealer Ford Co-Pilot360 You'll find some of the best driver assistance features on the market in the Ford Explorer. Cameras mounted around the vehicle help you see everything around you, and they work together with sensors to give your car a set of eyes of its own. It can keep track of lane markings, hazards in your path, drivers in your blind spot, automatically adjust your speed, and much more. more The innovative safety features you'll find on the Explorer include: Blindspot monitoring system Pre-collision assist Lane-keeping system Adaptive cruise control Terrain Management System Driving on loose terrain versus a normal tarmac requires a different type of performance from your Explorer. Trails and wet roads need to be handled differently, too. Plus, when you're towing, then your Explorer needs to optimize its performance to handle the extra weight and the tugging and swaying of a trailer. With the Terrain Management System, you can tell your car what type of surface you're driving on, or you can let it know if you're towing. It will then adjust its performance so that its performance is best suited to the terrain/situation you're dealing with at the time. There are also settings for sporty driving, conserving fuel, and driving normally. Active Park Assist Some forms of parking are downright loathsome—parallel parking, for example. With Active Park Assist 2.0, you'll never have to deal with parallel or perpendicular parking by yourself again. This system can park your car for you by taking over the steering, acceleration, braking, and shifting. The cameras and sensors on the car ensure the vehicle knows exactly what's going on around it, guaranteeing safe parking every time. Trailer Sway Control Trailers tend to sway when towing, and this can impact your driving performance and make driving a little uncomfortable. Trailer Sway Control gets rid of those issues by adjusting your engine power and selectively breaking while you're towing. This stops your trailer from swaying, even when you're going around corners or driving on curved roads. The Explorer can tow up to 5,600 pounds, so you'll certainly get plenty of use out of this feature. Come take the Explorer out for a test drive at Jackson Ford, Inc. Call us from 8:30 AM Monday to Saturday at 217-425-3513.

Is it time for a new car battery? Let's walk through the telltale signs that it's time to head to the Ford dealer and get your vehicle back at full power. Your Engine Is Cranking Too Slowly When you turn the key, if your engine takes longer than usual to start, it's often a sign that your battery is on its last leg. The battery provides the necessary power to start your engine, and a slugging start is a cry for help. Your Check Engine Light Is Shining The check engine light can signal a wide variety of issues, and that includes a weakening battery. If this light flickers on your dashboard, it's wise to have your battery checked as soon as possible. more The Battery Case Is Swollen Extreme temperatures can wreak havoc on car batteries. If your battery case looks bloated or misshapen, it's a clear indication that the battery's internal components may be compromised. The Battery Is Getting Old Car batteries typically last between 3 to 5 years. If yours is in this age range, it's prudent to start looking for a replacement. Even if it's still functioning, its performance might be dwindling. Electrical Component Issues If you notice the dimming of your vehicle's lights or the infotainment system acting up, it could be due to a failing battery. These components rely heavily on your battery to function properly, and any inconsistency in their performance should be a red flag. You See Corroded Connections Have you noticed a white, ashy substance on the metal parts of your battery? That's corrosion, and it can lead to voltage issues and trouble starting your car. While cleaning off the corrosion can improve matters, corroded batteries should be replaced soon. Repeatedly Jump-Starting Your Vehicle If you've had to pull out the jumper cables more frequently of late, that's a sign that your car battery is struggling to hold a charge. Don't wait for the day it won't start at all: get that battery replaced. Choosing a New Car Battery at the Ford Dealer Car batteries come in different sizes, and it's important to choose one that fits your Ford's battery tray. A poorly fitted battery can lead to vibrations, short circuits, or even damage to the vehicle. You should also pay attention to the Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) rating. This indicates the battery's ability to start the engine in cold temperatures. The experts at your local dealership can help you select the type of battery required for your specific model. Your Ford deserves the best, and that includes a reliable and efficient battery. A good battery not only starts your car but also keeps all the electrical components running smoothly. Call us at the Jackson Family of Dealerships to take care of your battery.

Your headlights are the most basic safety component of your vehicle. As soon as you notice headlight issues, you should contact your Ford dealership to schedule a service appointment so you can get new headlights right away. Three Signs Your Ford Needs New Headlights 1. Performance and Visibility Issues The most obvious signs that you need replacement headlights are flickering, dimness, and haziness. Flickering headlights are typically caused by a worn-out headlight bulb filament or by internal electrical wiring, while dim headlights are an early sign that bulbs are about to die. Hazy headlights can be caused by dirty lenses or other electrical issues. Prompt service at the first signs of these issues will ensure you can replace bulbs before they completely burn out. 2. Malfunctioning Features Modern vehicles typically have headlights with special functions, such as automatic on/off features or high beam headlights. If your low beams or daytime running lights are working, but other headlight features are not, then you likely have an issue with a specific part of your headlights. It's a good idea to schedule a replacement service as soon as you notice malfunctioning features since this could mean the other parts of your headlights are about to burn out, too. more 3. Visible Physical Damage Finally, if you see visible damage, such as a cracked lens or a broken bulb, you will need to schedule service right away. While your headlight might still work with a cracked lens, it's still best to get a replacement headlight before the damage gets worse. If you don't replace a cracked headlight promptly, you could risk severe damage to your wiring if water is exposed to the electrical components of your headlights. Why Should You Replace Headlights at Your Ford Dealership? Visiting your local dealership for headlight replacement is a good idea for a few reasons. First, your dealership will have the precise bulb replacements for your model and trim, which means you will get the benefit of genuine replacement headlights. Second, some headlights, such as LEDs, may require professional disassembly and reassembly to replace them, so it's best to leave this task to experts. Third, you can ask your dealership to provide mobile service. Ford Mobile Service is an ideal solution if your headlights, taillights, or turn indicator lights are completely fried. Without these lights, it's not safe for you or other drivers if your vehicle is on the road. When you schedule Ford Mobile Service, a dealership technician will come to your location to provide routine vehicle maintenance. To maintain the safety standards of your vehicle, you must have functional headlights and other exterior lights. Without working exterior lights, you will not be able to see the road clearly, indicate that you are changing lanes or turning, or see on very dark roads. Fortunately, you can easily replace headlights at your dealership. Book a service appointment at Jackson Ford, Inc. today.
