Your child is by far the most precious cargo your vehicle will ever have to carry. We love our children and would never want anything to happen to them, yet here in South Africa, we still boast relatively low awareness of car seat safety. It's critical to have your child - of any age, from infant to adolescent - properly restrained on every trip.

Why this is crucial

Road accidents are the second leading cause of death for children aged 5 to 14 in South Africa. According to the Automobile Association of South Africa, it is the law that any child under the age of three is in a properly secured car seat. A car seat can help reduce the likelihood of a fatal crash. Studies have shown that children who aren't properly restrained, and who are involved in crashes - even at slower speeds - have more chance of being seriously injured or, more tragically, killed, than those who are.

Most Ford vehicles feature standard Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH), compatible with many car seats, but parents should always double-check that their car seat can be properly attached to the vehicle's lower and top tether anchors. It's important to take into account all the other vehicles this car seat may likely be used in as well.

Where, when, and why

Rear-facing car seats are the safest way for infants and young children to travel in. Ford recommends that you keep your child in one until they have exceeded the highest weight or height allowed by your car seat manufacturer before transitioning to a forward-facing seat. There are also lots of convertible car seats out there now that can be used both as rear-facing and forward-facing seats.

Take care to ensure the car seat is reclined at a correct angle so your child's head isn't flopping forward. Babies, in particular, need to be placed semi-reclined so that their airways are kept open. Bear in mind that you may need to readjust the seat as your child grows. Once your child outgrows their car seat, it's imperative to introduce a booster seat. This is because, at that point, most children might still not be tall enough or weigh enough for an adult seat belt to fit snugly around them. Children must be about 1.5 meters - with the lap belt low on their hips and pelvis and the shoulder belt resting comfortably on the middle of their chest and shoulder - before a seat belt is appropriate.

October has been a month of change, the vibe in the dealership is rocking and we slowly trying to turn the corner to greater landings.

With that been said we started off our month of October with some of our awesome call centre ladies singing the anthem for us out side the parts division in all 3 the official languages. We ended off heritage month with a start to the new month on such a positive note. This was absolutely beautiful.

With Boss’s day slap bang in the middle of the month but falling on a Saturday, we celebrated their special day on Friday, handing over small gifts of appreciation.

Then our Used Cars team decided to host a Breakfast run for all our Ford clients to Hartbeespoort to build up some spirit in the dealership. Everybody joined up at the dealership at 9 and left in a convoy at 10 to a nice Roadhouse venue. Good friendships were built up between everybody and this was the first of many more events like this to follow.

Finally as the month comes to a end, Halloween stares us in the face. We will be displaying some of our new and used vehicles at Loftus at the Halloween sponsored event on Saturday 30th. Live entertainment is taking place and a good crowd of people is expected, we are hoping to get some good prospects at this event.

And now we start looking forward to November, its time to be festive and jolly and we will be running into November with the new StormTrak lighting up the sky in RED for Christmas is around the corner.

“It’s the season to be jolly”

The CMH Group hosted an incredible Winter Warmth Drive to help all those in need. Warm clothing and blankets were donated by the dealerships, staff members, clients and people in the community and distributed among the most deserving areas from KwaZulu-Natal to Gauteng.

The team at CMH Ford Gezina would like to thank each one that made the CMH Winter Warmth Drive possible and for every contribution. We donated the warm blankets and clothing to Rock of Hope in celebration of Youth Month in June and spent some time with the little ones.

The Rock Place of Safety was registered as an NPC when four places of safety got together to make a combined difference in the lives of babies and toddlers in crisis.

Mientjie and Wouter Prozesky answered God’s call to look after abandoned, abused, and traumatised babies, ranging in ages from newborn to two years old. They started Rock of Hope in April 2011, after receiving the prophetic word that said, “I see you in a minivan full of children, it is not your own children and I the Holy One will provide for you”. Their goal is to ensure a place of safety where they can be flooded with the love and attention any child deserves.

If you wish to get involved and help, make a difference in the lives of these precious little ones, contact Wouter at 079 423 4799 / [email protected]

There is something special about giving and sharing love, especially when it's given to much-needed facilities such as children’s homes, shelters, and old-age homes.

The great news is that everyone can experience the heartfelt joy and blessing of generosity because everyone has something to give, even if it is just a bit of your time and attention.

The Stormtrak is coming after The Ranger Thunder!

Since its launch a year ago, the Stormtrak has been exceptionally well received, proving unambiguously that there is a market for range-topping models that are different from the norm.

With that said, Ranger Stormtrak follows the same recipe as the limited-edition Thunder, enhancing the style, sophistication, and exclusivity of the most luxurious model in our line-up.

The Ranger Stormtrak receives several muscular and eye-catching design elements, including a black mesh grille with red highlights, a black insert in the lower part of the front bumper, black doors and bonnet decals, and gloss black 18-inch alloy wheels.

Furthermore, this limited-edition Ranger is characterized by three-dimensional Stormtrak logos on its lower doors and tailgate. In addition to the new paint scheme, there will also be a vibrant new colour, Lucid Red, on the Ranger Stormtrak. It is also available in Sea Grey, Frozen White, and Blue Lightning.

Ford's new Power Roller Shutter for the rear load compartment means that the Ranger Stormtrak benefits not only on the styling front, but also in terms of everyday practicality. Combined with the tailgate locking mechanism being integrated into the vehicle's central locking system, this makes it easy to secure goods in the loadbed.

Furthermore, the adjustable bed divider kit makes it possible to compartmentalize the cargo area according to the size of the items being transported, preventing goods from shifting around when driving. You can power camping accessories like a fridge with a 12-volt socket in a drop-in bedliner.

The cabin welcomes you with sumptuous luxury and attention to detail, including illuminated front scuff plates. Continuing this theme on the premium leather seats, the Stormtrak logo is prominently displayed on the backrests of the front seats. Throughout the leather-trimmed cabin, including on the soft-touch dashboard upper, steering wheel, and gear lever, red stitching enhances the sporty ambiance.

As with the Ranger Wildtrak, the premium level of standard features is exceptional, including the SYNC®3 infotainment system with embedded navigation, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto, as well as FordPass functionality that allows the owner to remotely access numerous vehicles features from their phone – such as remote and scheduled starts to either cool or heat the cabin.

Also, standard is an extensive list of innovative active and passive safety systems and driver aids, such as Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with forwarding Collision Alert, Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB), Lane Keeping Alert and Lane Keeping Aid, Driver Alert System, and Semi-Automatic Parallel Park Assist.

In line with its range-topping status, the Ranger Stormtrak is powered by Ford’s 2.0-litre Bi-Turbo engine which produces 157kW and 500Nm. It is paired with an advanced 10-speed automatic transmission that delivers seamless shifts matched to the responsive performance and impressive fuel economy. The Ranger’s towing capacity of 3 500kg remains unchanged, along with the 800mm water wading depth and 230mm ground clearance.

Eugene Greeff started his career in the motor industry with Nissan, Alfa & Fiat in 2004 as a sales executive after growing up on the farm. He began his career in 2007 as a sales manager and moved to full-time management later in his career.

As Eugene rose through the ranks, he later became a Regional Manager, and then a Dealer Principal. 3 dealerships have gone from average-performing to top-10 in less than a year in their various categories under his guidance.

As Eugene makes clear, "What drives me is my work and our products". He recalls growing up around his father's Ford Cortina bakkie, which fascinated him from a young age.

Eugene believes attitude plays a major role in life. He says that a smile on the faces of customers makes every day fruitful. “Knowing that you help people with one of the biggest investments in their lives makes every second super.

Customer satisfaction is his highest priority, and a customer's smile is his best reference.

SERVICE / WORKSHOP MANAGER:

Jacques Claassen is a joyous and eager professional who says his focus is to deliver outstanding customer service. He has worked in the service industry for over 22 years. His highest priority is to arrive at work well before the job starts so that he is prepared for the schedule ahead.

Being involved in all aspects of the service department is also very important to him. He assists in checking in all the customers each morning, chatting with them as he does so.

One thing he emphasizes as he rarely sits at a desk is being hands-on in the actual work in the workshop, asking for information from technicians, workshop foreman, and service advisors about every single vehicle in the workshop, and stating how important customers are to him.

As well as believing in teamwork, he says if there is teamwork, everyone works towards the same goal and the results of teamwork are always excellent. He says in the 22 years of service he has learned that if you look after your customers, they will look after you.

In case of any aspect of the service you receive at CMH STEYNS FORD not meeting your expectations, these are the people to contact.

Limited-Edition Ranger Stormtrak confirmed for local introduction

In response to the remarkable success of the limited-edition Ford Ranger Thunder in 2020, Ford South Africa is introducing another unique and appealing model based on the upmarket Wildtrak - the Ranger Stormtrak - later this year.

“The Ranger Thunder was exceptionally well received when we launched it a year ago, proving unequivocally that there is strong demand for range-topping models that offer something different from the norm. The new Ranger Stormtrak follows the same recipe as the limited-edition Thunder, by elevating the style, sophistication and exclusivity of our most luxuriously appointed model in the Ranger line-up,” says Doreen Mashinini, General Manager for Marketing at Ford South Africa.

As with the Thunder edition, the Ranger Stormtrak is based on the Wildtrak derivative, bridging the gap between that and the Raptor variant. A mesh grille with red inserts along with a black insert in the lower bumper, black decals on the bonnet and doors, black roof rails, and gloss black 18-inch alloy wheels distinguish the new edition. Additionally, you'll find 'Stormtrak' logos on the lower front doors and the tailgate.

There are three exterior colours available for the Ranger Stormtrak: Sea Grey, Frozen White and Blue Lightning. However, the exclusive new colour, Lucid Red, is the one you'll want. Ford has added more than flashy aesthetics to the new edition of the F-150, as it also has some practical features, including a load bed divider kit, a bedliner and a Power Roller Shutter.

Ford's flagship 2,0-litre twin-turbo diesel engine produces 157 kW and 500 N.m. and is mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission.

Inside, the Ranger Stormtrak features illuminated scuff plates, leather seats with the Stormtrak logo, and red contrast stitching, which appears on the dashboard, steering wheel, and gear lever. Adaptive Cruise Control with Forward Collision Alert, Autonomous Emergency Braking, Lane Keeping Alert, Parallel Park Assist and Sync3 infotainment system with built-in navigation and FordPass remote access are among the standard features.

Watch this space for pricing for the Ranger Stormtrak, it will be announced closer to launch in late Q3.

In the Stormtrak variant, the Ranger gains several muscular, attention-grabbing design elements, including a striking black mesh grille with red inserts, a black insert in the lower section of the front bumper, black decals for the bonnet and doors, black roof rails and 18-inch alloy wheels finished in gloss black and illuminated front scuff plates. Further identifying this limited-edition Ranger’s special status are three-dimensional Stormtrak logos on the lower sections of the front doors and on the rear tailgate. The upcoming introduction of the Ranger Stormtrak also sees the vibrant new paint colour, Lucid Red. The Ranger Stormtrak doesn’t just gain special treatment on the styling front. Everyday practicality has been elevated too, thanks to the standard fitment of Ford’s new Power Roller Shutter for the rear load compartment, complemented by the tailgate locking mechanism integrated into the vehicle’s central locking system. The adjustable bed divider kit makes it easy for the owner to compartmentalise the cargo area according to the size of the items being carried, adding further versatility. A drop-in Bedliner provides a useful 12-volt socket for powering accessories such as a camping fridge. Stepping into the cabin, we see premium leather seats that incorporate striking red stitching and the Stormtrak logo taking pride in the front seat backrests. Red stitching is used throughout the leather-trimmed cabin, further enhancing the sporty ambience.

You may need a new vehicle if yours isn't performing as well as it once did, or if you just want to upgrade to your dream car. Your best option is likely to be trading in your current vehicle. The process of trading in a used car is straightforward, and it may be able to help you save a great deal of money for your new car. The decision to trade in your current car for another is a big one, but it can be a good way to get a new model that you love. Generally, this is much easier than a private sale, and it is a good way to reduce your monthly car payments.

Attention to detail is important whether you're trading in your vehicle for a new one or selling directly to a dealer without buying another car. Getting a fair price for what used to be “your dream car” before you saw that shiny baby is very important. The first step in this process is getting your car prepped and ready before you set foot in a dealership to make a trade.

Below are very important tips to help you prep your vehicle:

• Clean the car, inside and out. For the exterior, give it a thorough wash and a fresh coat of wax. On the inside, clear out all your personal items and vacuum the entire interior of the car. Making a good impression only raises your chances of a better offer.
• Fix small issues yourself. Check all the car’s lights, including interior lights, and replace them if needed. Also, check all fluid levels (washer fluid, coolant, brake fluid, etc.) and ensure they’re topped up. If your car needs more serious work, leave that to the dealer. Any major issues will lower the value of the trade-in, but the dealer can perform the repairs for less than it would cost you.
• Gather all important documents. This includes Service records, Registration, and anything else a buyer might want to see. Cars that have been maintained with scheduled maintenance retain more of their value.
• Conduct your own inspection. Take your current car out for a test drive and pay close attention to anything that just doesn’t seem right. If there are any issues with the car, whether electrical or even a need for new tires, note them.

And lastly don’t forget to bring your spare set of keys or other accessories along with the vehicle.

The month of September has been one of a turnaround in the sense that Spring is now here, and the dealership is buzzing with excitement. Despite Covid still hanging around, we get up, dress up, and never give up!

Even though it was not entirely summer on 1st of September, we still celebrated this day with staff dressing up, having fun, and making the dealership feel like home. Our vehicles were parked on the sidewalk with gazebos and balloons all around. We listened to music, and this time, the atmosphere was incredible. Spring was in the air.

If there was ever a day when teamwork was evident, then this was it. The traditional clothing of all the cultures was wonderful. The atmosphere was awesome. We all came together as one. Unity was visual and people were having fun. Throughout the day, there was music, a braai, vehicles on display and balloons fluttering in the breeze. On top of all the fun, there were 3 deliveries, and the spirit was so great. To be a part of this awesome day in such words would be impossible, but what an awesome experience for everyone.

We are pleased to welcome Leon Barkhuizen as our New Car Sales Manager. Leon previously worked at Westvaal Menlyn. Formerly a Ford family member, he has already contributed to the team's success. With Leon's new ideas and changes, we are proud to have him onboard at CMH Ford Hatfield and believe he will take the team to new heights.

During the middle of the month, Channerie Lourens joined our new cars sales team. Channerie is originally from Westvaal at the sea and used to be a stock controller there. We hope that she will achieve great success at CMH Hatfield as she has already delivered her first vehicle.

Everyone is determined to keep their statuses and levels up as the Ford Academy training progresses. The assignments are due, the polls are done, and we are learning more and more every day. We are grateful to Ford Academy institute for the opportunity to enrich each employee of the company. CMH Ford Hatfield is committed to the program, striving to provide our guests with excellent service and a five-star experience.

With October on our doorstep, we are looking for a domino effect. When we sell and deliver our very first vehicle this month, the rest must follow as a ripple effect. The time is now.
