Visibility is all-important when driving after dark, and Ford is continuously innovating to help enhance your nighttime driving safety. With the Ford Adaptive Headlights feature, your car’s headlamps swivel as you turn, illuminating the road you’re about to move into. This reduces your blind spots and makes you far less likely to be taken by surprise when handling a curve or cornering in conditions with no or low light. 

How To Activate Adaptive Headlights

This technology can work any time you’re driving over 3 mph. To turn Adaptive Headlights on, go to Settings in the SYNC system on your instrument panel. Select Vehicle and scroll down until you see Lighting. Select this, and then use the Adaptive Headlights toggle to activate the system. Your headlights will now turn in the same direction as the steering wheel.

How often do you find yourself thinking about parts of your vehicle, like its fuel pump, injectors, tank, filter, lines, hoses, and regulators? Not often or at all? Then you’re not alone. Most people only think about these things when they experience poor vehicle performance. However, the fuel system is an integral part of ensuring your vehicle continues to run efficiently. With some simple tips, you’ll learn how to get the most from your car with Ford fuel system maintenance.

Your Ford Fuel System Maintenance: Service Tips

Fuel Tank

Like your body, what you put in your car’s tank matters. You want to ensure that you are using high-quality fuel. Low-quality fuel can contain contaminants such as sulfur, lead, dirt, debris, water, sediment, and microbial growth that can clog fuel injectors and filters, corrode fuel tanks and lines, causing your car’s engine to stall or fail. High-quality fuel can reduce the buildup of deposits in your engine and keep it running longer without long-term issues.

Keep your gas tank full to avoid damaging the fuel pump. When your tank is near empty, the fuel pump has to work harder to keep the engine running. Avoid letting your tank fall below a quarter full.

Has your engine begun to cough and sputter? Is it taking longer to start in the morning? It may be time to replace one or more of your spark plugs, which are crucial for the combustion process to work. Here’s a guide to Ford spark plug replacement and how long each type of spark plug lasts. 

Copper Spark Plugs

The most widely used spark plugs are made of copper, typically with nickel alloy at the electrodes. These metals are wonderfully conductive for electricity but also have the broadest electrode diameter, which requires more current draw for each spark. As copper and nickel alloy are softer metals, copper plugs wear down fastest and will usually need to be replaced every two years (20,000 to 30,000 miles).
