Active Ford Grille Shutters

The front grille is one of the simplest things most of us ignore on a vehicle. Yes the front grille, ever wondered why it’s shaped in a certain way and what its function is exactly. Well many can come up with a lot of explanations like, “without it you can see the entire engine” or “it’s used to cover all the engine components as a protective feature” As much as that may be true, the front grille of a vehicle has a greater purpose than the ones mentioned above. The front grille of the vehicle was originally created to allow air flow, to cool down the engine and the radiator. Over the years Ford has transformed the function of the grille by using what they call” Active Grille Shutters” on most of the vehicles. This allows for the shutters on the grille to open and close automatically to reduce aerodynamic drag whilst ensuring cooling to the engine. The active grille shutters also help to improve fuel efficiency. As if the Eco boost function was not amazing, Ford always finds a way to make your driving experience an absolute pleasure.  Ford strives to carry this design of the active grille shutters in all their recent models, and at CMH Kempster Ford Hatfield, we love it and are very confident that this is a feature you will also love. Visit us to take advantage of our February deals on the Ford Ecosport, Ford Fiesta and Ford Ranger. We are situated at 434 Jan Shoba Street, Hatfield Pretoria.

Connected cars and the Internet of Things

A connected car is a vehicle that is connected to the. This allows the car to connect and 'talk' to other devices, such as smartphones, inside and outside the vehicle. Technology is already being tested that enables connected cars to communicate with other vehicles on the road, like ambulances, as well as with infrastructure, like traffic lights, helping drivers avoid accidents, traffic jams and other slow-downs.

Seamless digital experience

Products like the Ford SYNC® 3 voice-activated system enables users to control a vehicle's navigation, audio and climate features, as well as send text messages and make phone calls, all without taking their eyes off the road and hands off the wheel. Instead of wasting time sitting in traffic on the way to work, customers can safely check and reply to messages, join a conference call or listen to audiobooks. Features such as tyre pressure analysis can send alerts when a tyre is not inflated properly, which can cause tyre failure as well as poor fuel consumption, which can be six percent higher if a tyre is under-inflated.

Safety when you need it

Improved safety for drivers and passengers is the most important benefit of connected cars. Vehicle connectivity features today have evolved significantly and are enabling semi-autonomous capabilities in vehicles, such as adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking (AEB) and lane-keeping assistance. Many people are starting to look for these features in their cars and trucks as they realize the game-changing benefits of these technologies. These new features have revolutionized automotive safety by using cameras and sensors in vehicles to help prevent accidents before they occur. Today's connected cars have monitoring systems that can alert a driver of potential dangers and are designed to even intervene and take control of the vehicle, if necessary, to avoid a collision.
