Performance
The new Edge proves that capable means so much more than how many horses are under the hood.

- SYNC® 3
- Rear view camera

Design
It’s not easy to be as sleek as a sedan and as adaptable as an SUV, but the new Edge makes it look that way.

What to Do for National Car Care Month
The Car Care Council has named April National Car Care Month. Follow these steps to ensure your Ford is prepped for the months to come.
Ford Car Care Tips for National Car Care Month
Change wipers and lights
With snow and icy weather finally behind us, you can prep your car to handle the coming spring showers. Salt from the roads can build up over time on the headlights and taillights, which limits visibility.
Schedule a car wash to scrub all the salt from your car, and pay special attention to the lights so you can bring them back to their original shine. Notice if any lights have gone out, and take the time to replace them before the rain arrives.
Take a few moments to clean the windshield wipers, and decide whether it’s time to replace them. Doing so now will not only help you maintain clear visibility of the road ahead when the weather turns, but it will also help you keep your windshield clear from the yellow streaks of pollen that arrive in spring.
Inspect the AC components
It’s easy to overlook the comfort of air conditioning until something goes wrong and you’re stuck sweating on your drive to work. Take a good look at the air conditioning components, including the HVAC system, the compressor, and compressor belt. If anything appears damaged or in need of attention, we have plenty of available Ford parts to get your AC up and running again.
Rotate tires and align wheels
It’s no surprise that your tires take a daily beating. Take a good look at them. Is there a healthy amount of tread? If not, you could easily lose traction on slick road conditions, and your car will have to work harder to accelerate and brake.
Also take note of any damage you may see to the tires, and ensure they are properly inflated. Doing so will extend the life of your tires and help you prevent a flat tire on your first summer road trip.
If you can’t remember the last time you had your tires rotated, then it’s time to schedule service. This will extend the life of your tires and help them to age equally over time. This will also be the perfect opportunity to get your tires aligned, which will make your ride more comfortable and increase your gas mileage.

What Is the Ford Co-Pilot 360™ Safety Suite?
When you drive a Ford, you travel with the peace of mind that only comes from the Ford Co-Pilot 360™ safety suite. Continue reading to learn more about some of the key features that make a Ford one of the safest cars on the market.
Ford Co-Pilot360™ Technology Highlights
Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking
Pre-Collision Assist utilizes camera and radar technology to detect and alert you to pedestrians, cyclists, and other vehicles in both light and dark conditions. If a possible collision is detected, your Ford will emit an audible and visual alert in the message center so that you can react accordingly.
If you are unable to brake in time, Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) will activate by heightening the response of your brakes or may even apply the brakes automatically. If the car detects that braking is insufficient to avoid a collision, available Evasive Braking Assist can help you steer around the car or pedestrian to minimize the chance of impact.
BLIS® with Cross Traffic Alert
With BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System), you can change lanes confidently on the highway knowing that no one is traveling in your blind spot. Radar sensors will trigger an indicator light on your sideview mirror to alert you of potential vehicles outside your line of sight. These radars can also alert you to passing drivers as you slowly back out of a parking spot thanks to Cross Traffic Alert. An audible alert will sound so you can stop and allow the passing vehicle to safely navigate past your car.
Adaptive Cruise Control
Certain Ford models offer Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) to help you maintain a safe cruising distance from the car in front of you. Rather than requiring you to constantly brake and reset your speed, ACC adjusts the speed and brakes for you using radar and camera technology.
ACC with Stop-and-Go will adapt the speed even if the car ahead of you comes to a complete stop. Also included with ACC is the Lane Centering feature which reads lane markings to keep you safely in your lane if it senses you may be drifting into another lane. Finally, Speed Sign Recognition automatically adjusts your cruising speed to the posted speed limit.
