Ford Randburg wants you to Get Connected! Do you drive a connected car? If you don't know, you're not alone.
- Connected cars are part of a bigger technology trend called the Internet of Things, which is the connection of everyday devices via the internet.
- Connected cars allow the car to connect and 'talk' to other devices, such as smartphones both inside and outside the vehicle
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.

With the arrival of our new Dealer Principal, Mr Oscar Mashavha adjusting to the rapid and exciting transformations about to and that have already taken place were smooth and simple. His youthful, yet professional approach to conducting business has really given our dealership – CMH Kempster Ford Pretoria a brand new look and direction.
His favourite saying, “there is always room for innovation and colour brilliance” was put into practice in the last few weeks. Road markings were revived and painted by him personally. The previous billboards were redesigned without forgetting and blotting out their origins - and put up giving our dealership a fresh look as well as giving customers a clear indication where to go for which department.
He not only prioritizes the happiness of his employees but as he refers to them as his “colleagues”; Oscar Mashavha being the true Team Leader that he is, made sure that the staff vehicles have secure parking in case of hail, excessive sunlight, theft etc. If you have met our Dealer Principal in person, you will see that his persistent need for a clean and neat working environment is reciprocated through his dress sense as well – neat, clean and very professional.

2019 Ford Mustang: It is definitely loud and exudes pride!
The New 2019 Ford Mustang is definitely our pride and joy at CMH Ford Hatfield, and our customers agree. The 2019 Ford Mustang has evolved with a newer, sleeker design, more advanced technology and even greater performance. Irrespective of which angle you look at this luxurious beast, the new Mustang definitely makes an impression. Our partners Roush invited us to the festival of motoring where we got a chance to test drive the 2019 Mustang in comparison to the older model and we were definitely impressed. The New Mustang now has a wider mesh grille with a re-profiled bumper. With this new design, the air extractor bonnet vent ensures that the engine remains cool whilst you driving. The new Mustang is available in the Fastback or convertible 5.0L v8 or 2.3L Eco boost Turbo. Each of the models offer the same luxury and comfort, with the only difference being in the power output.

For about two weeks every summer between 1914 and 1924, a group of friends who called themselves the Four Vagabonds would climb into their Model Ts and hit the open road, travelling to some of the United States' most scenic areas, stopping off and setting up overnight camps along the way.
But these weren't your average Americans. They were none other than Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, Harvey Firestone, and John Burroughs. And the motorcade of up to 50 vehicles, which transported the celebrity Vagabonds, sometimes their wives, their household staff, and all the equipment they could possibly need for a comfortable holiday, was captured by Ford Motor Company photographers.
These high profile 'glamping' adventures undertaken by pre-eminent members of society fired public imagination. And the phenomenon of road tripping as an affordable way for ordinary families to satisfy their wanderlust soon spread to other parts of the world, including South Africa.
With almost 750,000km of roads criss-crossing the country - the tenth largest road network globally according to the South African National Roads Agency Limited (SANRAL), and by far the largest on the continent - it's no wonder road tripping has become such a popular way for generations of South Africans to vacation.
Ford Motor Company of Southern Africa believes that the four pioneers of the original American road trip would whole-heartedly approve of the following tips for modern motorists wanting to get the most out of their own family road trips today.
Burroughs
As a naturalist and nature essayist, active in the US conservation movement, John Burroughs would advise you to use the unique opportunity of a road trip to discover and explore places of natural beauty, as a chance to learn more about the geological and cultural history of places you haven't been before.
Whilst planning your route, look up the tourist attractions you'll be passing along the way and incorporate the most appealing ones into your itinerary. Many of the newly constructed hotels of yesteryear are still in business as historic B&B tourism destinations today, and breaking up long trips into smaller chunks - with one or two overnight stays en route to your destination, interspersed with some sightseeing - not only reduces driving fatigue and back seat boredom, but makes for a much more enjoyable and memorable holiday.
The Automobile Association of South Africa (AA) recommends reserving overnight accommodation in advance, especially during peak travel periods like Easter.
Firestone
As the founder of the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company, one of the first global makers of automobile tyres, Harvey Firestone would advise you to have your car's wheel balancing and alignment checked before heading off, to ensure a smooth and safe trip, and not to forget to check the condition of your spare tyre too. Punctures happen to the best of us, at the worst of times. Just remember, spare tyres aren't designed for long distances or high speeds, so once you have replaced a punctured tyre with the spare, you need to visit a tyre technician to fix or replace the original tyre as soon as possible.
You should only do a final tyre pressure check once your car is fully loaded, and when the tyres are still cool. The optimal tyre pressures, which you'll find printed on a sticker inside your driver's door, will help improve vehicle safety and maintain fuel efficiency.
Edison
A world renowned inventor whose name is synonymous with the electric light bulb, Thomas Edison was also the self-appointed navigator on the Vagabonds' adventures, with nothing but a compass and a handful of atlases to guide the motorcade!
His advice to the modern day road tripper would be to familiarise yourself with all the marvellous tech features of your car, and take full advantage of navigation apps like Google Maps and Waze, accessed either on your smartphone or your car's built-in infotainment system, like Ford's cutting edge SYNC 3 *. For parents travelling with small kids, a visual display showing estimated travel and arrival time could even be the silver bullet you've been searching for to silence the age-old "Are we there yet?" chorus from the back seat.
Ford
And last but certainly not least, captain of industry, business magnate, and founder of the Ford Motor Company himself, Henry Ford would advise you to make sure your car is in tip-top shape before hitting the open road. Be sure to take it in for a thorough inspection at your local dealership, where they will check all the necessary parts for damage and replace them if necessary, so your car can perform at maximum efficiency.
Also visit the AA's website for a list of Toll Fees and Toll Plaza Locations, as well as a current Road Conditions Report, which gives you a heads up on any road works that may be taking place, which could result in detours or delays to your journey.
At CMH Kempster Ford Randburg we care about your safety and that of your family. Take care on your travels this festive season and stay safe. Take your time and enjoy the adventure.
From our Family at CMH Kempster Ford Randburg to Yours we wish you a safe and enjoyable holiday.
