Reliable and thorough vehicle maintenance not only extends the life of your car but gives you the satisfaction of knowing you've given your car everything it needs to do its job. Here are some of the top tips for taking care of your car that you should implement into your maintenance routine. Regular Oil Changes We can't stress how important it is to have your oil changed regularly. Your vehicle's oil is like its blood, and it needs clean oil to run healthily. The oil keeps the components in your engine and powertrain lubricated. With oil, the parts in those systems will rub together, creating heat and friction, and eventually damaging your vehicle. The old rule of thumb is that you should have your oil changed every 3,000 miles or 6 months. more That's likely not true anymore if you have a newer vehicle, though it certainly won't hurt your car to get more frequent oil changes. Read your car manual to find your model's recommended oil change interval. Protect the Exterior Cleaning the exterior of your vehicle is more than just making it look good, though that is a perk. Especially when you add a coat of wax to your cleaning regimen, keeping your vehicle looking clean may help it keep its good looks into old age. By leaving those bits of bug, plant matter, and dirt on your vehicle, you run the risk of damaging your vehicle's paint job and promoting the build-up of unwanted materials on and in your car. We say give your car a quick wash however often you want, but give it a deep clean and a fresh coat of wax every 3 or 4 months. Don't Ignore the Signs When that mystery light on your dashboard comes on, don't ignore it. These lights are designed to act as a form of communication between you and your vehicle. When one turns one, your vehicle is trying to tell you something is wrong. Some are fixes you can check yourself, such as a tire pressure warning light, but if you don't know what to do, schedule a visit with a trusted mechanic who can address the issue. Study Your Tires Tire tread can tell you a lot about your vehicle's health. Looking out for warning signs — such as uneven wear, bulging, or cracking — can help you get the most miles out of your tires. Your tires' tread will wear down, but you want that wear and tear to be even. Uneven wear and tear can be a sign that you need to have your car realigned, you're under- or over-inflating your tires, or the suspension system is suffering. If you notice uneven wear, take your car into the shop to find what's causing it, or diagnose it yourself by learning about tread wear patterns. Be sure to take care of your car so that it may keep taking care of you. With the right maintenance routine, you can ensure that you get the most out of your vehicle's lifespan and maintain its resale value. Implement these tips into your routine to take proper care of your vehicle.

While the winter months in Minnesota might have you spending more time indoors, summer months see you spending more time outside. Also, if you're like many people, summertime marks the time to hit the road for vacations, weekend adventures, and other outings. But it's important to keep your vehicle clean, especially in the summer so follow these simple tips to keep it shining. Wash and Wax the Exterior Although the winter might see your car covered in snow and ice, the summer months kick up the dirt and dust. Your vehicle's paint acts like a magnet to attract particles and over time this can cause damage to the finish. Washing your car can be the easiest way to fix this. It's best to wash your vehicle weekly during the summer. You should also take care of the exterior by applying wax. Polishing the car can keep the paint smooth and add a layer of protection against the elements. more Vacuum After you're done washing the exterior of your car, it's time to focus on the interior. Even if you don't enjoy vacuuming, it's essential to keep the car's inside clean. When taking your car to a car wash, stop afterward and vacuum your car. Sand on the floors can wear out your mats faster since it's abrasive. Take your time to vacuum all parts of the seats to get rid of crumbs and dirt. If you have children, pay additional attention to the rear seats. Remove car seats if applicable to get rid of anything that accumulated beneath it.  Don't forget to vacuum the trunk as well. Remove Sticky Spills Ordering a refreshing beverage is the perfect way to celebrate summer, but what happens when that drink spills inside your car? Are you quick to clean it up, or does it sit for a while until it develops mold? Sticky residue can cause damage to your cup holders, console, and floor. When liquids soak into the floorboard, it can cause mold to form. That makes the spill not only a sticky mess but it creates a health hazard, especially when you throw summer heat into the picture. If you cannot clean up the spill right away, do so as quickly as possible. Take out your floor mats and give them a light shampoo. Add Trash Bags To prevent spills or crumbs from finding their way into all your car's crevices, consider adding trash bags to the interior of your car. All cars should have at least one trash bag, but two is better. For the front seat, loop the handles of the plastic grocery bag over the center console or emergency brake. When it's full, remove it, tie the handles, and place it in a trash bin. If you want a bag in the back seat, you can hang a bag from the front-seat headrest or place one near the center console. Before you head out on your road trip, take time this summer to care for your car, inside and out. Whether it's a windshield full of bugs, food wrappers covering the inside, or floor mats covered in sand, it's vital to keep your car clean.

Blind-Spot Information System with Cross-Traffic Alert Using radar and sensors, your Ford will be able to detect cars approaching in your blind-spot.

It uses small vibrations in the seat and steering wheel to help you stay aware, and if you don't react, the system will use slight steering correction to guide your vehicle back into the right lane. Keep in mind the car doesn't steer itself, however, it will help to prevent you from drifting off the road or into oncoming traffic. Pre-Collision Assist With Automatic Emergency Braking Cameras are used in order for the pre-collision assist system to detect potential hazards on the road ahead of you. It can sense cars and objects, as well as pedestrians in some conditions, to help you avoid an accident. This comes in especially handy on busy city streets. It uses both audio and visual alerts, and if you don't take action, it can also use the automatic emergency braking system to apply the brakes and help lower the severity of an accident. Rearview Camera Having a rearview camera gives you a helpful set of eyes that can assist you when it comes to backing up. When you put your vehicle in reverse, anything that's behind you is displayed on the infotainment screen, making it easy to avoid hitting objects, people, or anything else that could be lurking behind your car. Make sure you still check your mirrors, as it is always better to be over cautious. Auto High-Beam Headlamps For easier nighttime driving, auto high-beam headlamps are invaluable. They can automatically switch between high and low beams when you're traveling at night. This means no more constant fumbling between the two on dark roads, making those long night drives just a little better.
