Do's and Don’ts when driving your vehicle:

Are you putting your car at unnecessary risk because of bad driving habits?

Without realizing it, you may be causing damage to your car by doing seemingly insignificant things.

CMH Ford Ballito have compiled a list of Eight dos and don’ts while driving your precious baby.

Vehicles are often among your most valuable possessions and are the ones on which you rely most heavily. Taking proper care of it will ensure it lasts as long as possible.

1. CMH Ford Ballito says DON’T drive your vehicle until your fuel is empty.

When you leave your fuel tank near empty, fuel draws from the bottom of the tank, which has dirt, impurities, and residuals. The fuel pump absorbing these when the fuel level is low will shorten the life of your fuel system.

DO: Before the warning light illuminates, fill up the tank with fuel

1. CMH Ford Ballito says DON’T rev your Engine:

The abrupt temperature changes that occur when you rev your car when it's cold could damage components.

DO: Allow the oil to warm up and distribute throughout the engine for a few minutes after your car has started.

1. CMH Ford Ballito says DON’T just change gears from reverse to drive, as the sudden change in direction can cause damage to your vehicle.

DO: Let the vehicle come to a complete stop before switching gears.

1. CMH Ford Ballito says DON’T overload your boot as this causes damage to your vehicle’s transmission, tyres, steering and suspension and can also cause blowouts.

DO: Take into consideration what the weight limit is and recommended tyre pressure.

1. CMH Ford Ballito says DON’T Ride the clutch as this shortens the life of the clutch plate.

DO: Take your foot off the clutch after changing gears and leave the car in neutral with the handbrake on until you’re ready to move from a hill start.

1. CMH Ford Ballito says DON’T rest your foot on the brake pedal. It causes your brake to overheat and wear out.

DO: Switch to a lower gear and maintain a safe driving distance.

1. CMH Ford Ballito says DON’T ignore warning lights or if you hear something strange coming from your vehicle.

DO: Familiarise yourself with the most serious lights by reading your owner’s manual and having the problem attended to right away.

1. CMH Ford Ballito says DON’T ignore your tires because you could experience a flat or blowout. Your tires will wear unevenly and wear out faster, and you won’t get the fuel efficiency you deserve.

DO: Check your tires as often as you check your oil and rotate your tires at least twice a year.

This iconic car was first introduced to the world in 1965 and was named after a World War 2 fighter plane. In its first year, the Ford Mustang generated a whole new category of automobiles known as pony cars. Nowadays, an even sleeker, more powerful and advanced version of the Mustang is available with all the safety features you will need. CMH Ford Hatfield is proud to be the home of the all-powerful Mustang.

The all-new Ford Mustang is a rear-wheel drive two-door (4-seater) fastback and is available in 2 petrol engines, a 2.3 Eco Boost 4-cylinder turbocharged motor or a rumbling 5.0 V8 if you want to let your neighbours know that you're awake or you can also start on quiet mode to keep the neighbours happy. The all-new Ford Mustang GT 5.0 is ready for any occasion when you hit the road. You can choose from numerous performance settings for the track, sport and snow/wet. CMH Ford Hatfield will gladly help you with one of these two models in a hard top or convertible for those weekend summer drives if you want to feel that breeze through your hair. Dual exhaust pipes are also standard on the GT 5.0 V8 and the 2.3 Turbo Charged Eco Boost to let you know that this car means business!

The Mustang 5.0 GT boasts comfort, safety (features like Lane-keeping assist, Lane departure assist and many more) as well as great engine performance. For a V8 the Mustang has a great average fuel consumption of 13L/100km and an astonishing acceleration speed from 0-100km/h in 4.6 seconds in the 6-speed manual and a whopping 4.3 seconds in the 10-speed automatic. The Mustang also comes with some standard features like Paddle Shifters on the Steering Wheel, Driver Mode Selection, Heated Exterior Mirrors, Keyless Entry and many more.

Do you own a Muscle Car? Would you like to own a Muscle Car? If yes then the all-new Louder, Prouder and Intelligent Ford Mustang is the way to go! You can be quite discreet on a Sunday morning, or you can start her up, smoke the tyres and let it ROARRRRRRRRRR as this Horse should!!!

To book a test drive with CMH Ford Hatfield and experience the Ford Mustang 5.0 GT, call us on 012 423 4300 situated at 434 Jan Shoba Street, Hatfield Pretoria.

THE ALL-POWERFUL MUSTANG

The Ford Mustang has been around for nearly 60 years, kicking off in 1964 and continuing nonstop. The sixth era made its debut in 2015 and has just gotten better over time, with progressed performance and handling, better tech and up to date styling. Last year's big news was the reintroduction of the Mustang Mach 1; the 2022 Ford Mustang gets a few minor updates. The noticeable changes are a trio of visual packages and a loss of 10 horsepower and 10 lb-ft of torque for the V8 engine in each of the GT and Mach 1 variants. Ford has a justifiable reason for this as it looks to reduce the number of harmful gas emissions.

How does the Mustang drive? The Mustang GT is impressively quick thanks to its gutsy V8. The brakes complement the vehicle, giving you a great deal of confidence to brake in difficult situations.

How cosy is the Mustang? You may be at ease for hours in the Mustang, that's quite a feat considering how performance-oriented it is. The seats provide incredible support, and the cabin is generally very quiet. The V8 sounds amazing, and that's exactly what you'll need to pay attention to the beauty of the vehicle.

The temperature controls are front and centre, and well-positioned vents distribute cool air to the front passengers. The automatic weather management system rarely needs to be adjusted once it is set. The ventilated seats are quick to cool you down on warm days and keep you cosy on long drives to ensure maximum satisfaction.

How’s the technology? Muscle vehicles do not necessarily scream "high-tech," but the Mustang gets full marks for the availability of newer features. Ford's Sync interface is the pinnacle of voice controls, an 8-inch touchscreen, and Apple CarPlay or Android integration.

The superior protection features (blind-spot tracking, lane assist, among others) are properly tuned to prevent fake alarms. The forward collision warning is as it should be, startling. The adaptive cruise management executes with easy inputs and maintains the set speeds on steep downhills.

The Verdict

This high-performance, powerful, and thrilling ride is basically screaming your name. This vehicle not only offers you all the features of a modern car but still gives you that vintage muscle feel which allows timeless satisfaction.

Many of us consumers don’t know the correct processes when it comes to getting that dream car. Here at CMH Kempster Ford Durban South, we will gladly assist in simplifying the process for you, so you know you are making an informed decision.

How does vehicle finance work?

A financial lease lets you use the vehicle as your own, without owning it. You pay monthly instalments over a specified repayment period (up to 84 months), and once the lease is up, you have the option of owning or returning it. And because everyone deserves to have options, here at CMH Kempster Ford Durban South, finance is arranged with all major banks including Ford Options. This is our finance package that’s tailored to suit your needs.

Apply for finance

1. Must be 18 years old or older.

2. Must be a permanently employed salaried individual, earning a minimum salary of R6500 pm.

3. Must have a valid South African driver’s licence with no endorsements.

4. Must be a South African citizen or permanent resident.

5. Must have an excellent credit history.

With any loan, your credit score is the single most important factor in determining everything from your interest rate, the loan amount, the monthly payment, and even the 'yes' or 'no' from the dealer - or your credit union or bank.

When your score is between 580 and 669, your rating is fair, and you are a subprime borrower, and the dealership will consider your application. If you are between 670 and 739, you have a solid credit rating, and as such, you are not likely to default on your finance agreement. Finance will be approved.

Documents needed for finance

1. Copy of your SA ID and driver’s license

2. 3 months’ payslips

3. 3 months bank statements (if self-employed it will be 6 months bank statements)

4. CK documents when buying through a company

At CMH Kempster Ford Durban South, we pride ourselves in ensuring every customer that walks through our doors gets the very latest in vehicle finance and we try our level best to get as many approvals as we can to make those dreams of buying a car come true!!

What is pre-approved vehicle finance?

This is a provision that guarantees you to receive a vehicle loan even before you even select a car to buy. When you get pre-approved, the bank will give you a quote of how much they can lend you and a letter of commitment that you can take to the dealership.

Do pre-approvals hurt your credit score?

Inquiries for pre-approved offers do not affect your credit score unless you follow through and apply for the credit. Anyone who receives an offer still must fill out an application before being granted credit.

Our finance department is on the ball when it comes to getting you approved BUT most important to note is provided, we have all your correct documents, and all checks have been verified, we can get you same-day approval. Approval sometimes takes longer in cases like confirming employment/ verifying company information.

Approval is valid for 1 WEEK (although bank papers say 30 days) this is due to ITC updating every 7 days, so this means you might get approved now, but if a customer takes longer to accept the approval and ITC updates it might decline the deal afterwards.

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.

The new Ranger Raptor Special Edition has been confirmed to launch in South Africa by Ford.

Built in limited numbers to ensure exclusivity, the new Ranger Raptor Special Edition has several additional functional and styling enhancements.

The Ranger Raptor Special Edition is powered by Ford’s 157kW 2.0‑litre Bi-Turbo diesel engine developing 500Nm of torque, driving a responsive 10-speed automatic. Its unique Terrain Management System enables drivers to tackle a wide range of terrain and driving scenarios, including Baja Mode for optimum off-road performance.

The standard fitment of the lockable Mountain Top black roller shutter is a great addition that allows owners to safely secure goods in the load compartment, away from prying eyes and protected from the elements.

Inside the Ranger Raptor Special Edition’s double cab interior, a bespoke feel is delivered with red stitching for the steering wheel, instrument panel and door cards and a Special Edition-only Raceway Grey instrument panel adds further exclusivity.

The new Ranger Raptor adds twin matte black racing stripes – edged with red contrast lines – to the bonnet, roof, lower body sides, rear wings, and tailgate to further emphasise the bakkie’s high-performance character.

The flared wheel arches, front and rear bumpers, door handles, and signature Ford-embossed grille feature a matte black finish. Also new to this exclusive model is the integrated black sports hoop which adds further sporting flair to the Ranger Raptor’s muscular appearance.

The Ranger Raptor features a 150mm wider track and 51mm taller ride height than the standard Ranger for greater off-road capability.

The bespoke suspension uses aluminium double wishbones at the front and a multi-link rear architecture, including specially developed FOX shock absorbers with Position Sensitive Damping that moderates damping forces in response to changing driving scenarios.

Here are several simple ways South African motorists can mitigate the impact of these latest fuel increases.

A fuel-saving mindset and driving style can make a big difference at the pumps and to your pocket. Below are some valuable tips that can help you be a greener, more fuel-efficient driver both on- and off-road.

Choose a fuel-efficient engine

Both the Ford Ranger and Everest are available with a range of engines that have been designed and developed to deliver an impressive combination of performance and efficiency. In the most recent WesBank Fuel Economy Tour, Ford's 2.0-litre Single Turbo engine saw the Ford Ranger beat all its rivals and take class victory with a winning fuel consumption figure 6.8l/100km.

Drive sensibly

Aggressive acceleration and braking can increase your fuel consumption by up to 30%. What you want to do is accelerate gently. Once you're at the speed limit, maintain the posted limit while scanning the road ahead. If you do spot a traffic issue up ahead, lift off the throttle earlier to reduce speed gradually, rather than diving on the brakes at the last minute only to accelerate hard again to reach the desired speed. One handy hint when you're driving on the highway is to make use of cruise control. This will help maintain the posted speed limit without sudden fuel-sucking fluctuations in speed; just remember to deactivate the cruise control when there are hazardous driving conditions.

Speed matters

It's simple, the faster you go, the more fuel you'll use. Up to around 80km/h, the energy required to overcome wind resistance on a vehicle is minimal. But push beyond that, and drag increases exponentially. Driving 80km/h in a 100km/h zone might get you great economy, but it will also frustrate your fellow motorists. So, use common sense and be aware that the harder your vehicle has to work, the more fuel you'll use.

Talking tyres

Ensure your vehicle's tyres are inflated as per the manufacturer's recommendation (usually located on a sticker on the door sill – or in the owner's manual). The importance of properly inflated tyres goes beyond just reducing rolling resistance and improving fuel efficiency: it's also about vehicle safety. Over-inflate your tyres, and you risk reduced grip and increased wear. Similarly, drive with tyre pressures too low. You'll increase the rolling resistance, which means your vehicle will be working harder to travel at the same speed.

Service is serious

Make sure you keep your vehicle regularly serviced. Your Ford dealership will run your vehicle through a barrage of checks during each service, picking up on things like faulty sensors that can lead to increased fuel use. For instance, fixing a faulty oxygen sensor could improve your vehicle's fuel efficiency by around 40%. Similarly, using the wrong engine oil in your vehicle can affect fuel consumption by up to 2%.

At CMH Ford Randburg, we care about our customers and their pockets. Come in and visit us to get your vehicle’s tyres checked and serviced to help with your Fuel Efficiency.

Spring into action with our helpful spring tips

As winter ends and spring approaches, we should also prepare our vehicles.

This season, we'd like to share with you some helpful tips for getting your vehicle ready.

1. Inspect your wiper blades with the arrival of spring. We know some rain is likely to follow. It is in your best interest to change your wiper blades. This will improve your visibility and minimize the likelihood of an accident.
2. Check your vehicle fluids. Ensure fluids such as brake fluids are sufficient. Brake fluids help the braking system. Without it, more pressure is required on the pedal to stop your vehicle.
3. Change Air Filters - Before you go ahead with spring and summer road trips, be sure to change your air filter as it improves your engines air quality.
4. Check your tyre pressure – The cold winter temperatures could have caused your tyre pressure to decrease. Also, under-inflated tyres can reduce your vehicle's fuel efficiency.
5. Deodorize your vehicle -After keeping the windows shut for most of the winter season. De-clutter your vehicle and leave an open container with coffee beans for this.

More space. More life

Every load is manageable with the New ECOSPORT. But never at the expense of your comfort. It flips, folds, and fits everything. Almost any weekend-sized load can be handled by the cargo management system. It includes a new height-adjustable boot floor, which can be raised to conceal storage or lowered to increase luggage capacity. The boot floor can now support more than 300kg. An armrest with integrated storage is part of a new centre console. On the backseat, we added retractable armrests with cupholders. You can find these features in the Trend and Titanium models.
