Snow, sleet, or ice can create treacherous road conditions. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), driving on winter roads in 2021 resulted in an estimated 22,325 injuries and 395 fatal crashes. The following tips for safely driving on snow from your Ford dealer will help you navigate winter roads around Waconia, MN, like a pro. Winterize Your Ride It's important to prioritize safety when driving in the snow. We recommend scheduling a vehicle inspection with us to winterize your vehicle to ensure it's safe for winter driving. Our certified Ford technicians will meticulously examine every system and component of your car, with particular attention given to your vehicle's brakes, battery, lights, windshield wipers, defroster, radiator, and tires. Additionally, we will swap your tires with winter tires when the temperature drops to 46 degrees Fahrenheit or below to give your car the necessary grip on snow and ice. Perform Safety Checks During the winter season, quickly check your car before heading out. Walk around your vehicle and check all the lights, windshield wipers, and tires. Remember to keep your tires, including the spare, properly inflated and maintain at least half a gas tank. Check your battery regularly to avoid any unexpected breakdowns. Before driving off, clear your vehicle's tailpipe of snow and ice, and clean and defrost your windows for better visibility. Steer and Corner Slowly and Carefully To drive safely, maintain slower speeds and practice smooth steering and cornering techniques. Press down on the gas pedal until your car rolls smoothly forward to prevent spinning and drive much slower than the speed limit. It's essential to anticipate stops, corners, and hills well in advance and plan slow, wide turns. Refrain from using cruise control during extreme winter driving conditions, as snowstorms can block the sensors and road markers these systems rely on to operate. Remain fully alert and attentive behind the wheel. Apply the Brakes Gently Driving on slippery road surfaces can significantly increase the distance it takes for your vehicle to come to a stop. Adjust your driving accordingly by navigating more carefully and avoiding sudden movements such as slamming on the brakes or jerking the steering wheel. To safely stop when approaching intersections, apply the brakes gently and steadily and begin slowing down well in advance. Keep a Safe Following Distance Maintain a safe following distance between your car and the one ahead of you to give you enough time to react and brake early without going into an uncontrollable skid. Increase the usual three-car length distance to at least six lengths. The idea is to create enough space between your vehicle and others so that you can brake smoothly, maintain control, and avoid skidding. To drive safely in the snow, remember to slow down, steer and brake gently, and keep a safe following distance. Stop at Fury Ford Waconia today, and our qualified Ford technicians will winterize your vehicle so you can confidently navigate snowy and icy winter roads.

Your Ford is tough, reliable, durable, and built to last. To keep it that way, a regular Ford oil change is crucial. The following signs will warn you when it's time to schedule an oil change at Fury Waconia outside of Minneapolis, Minnesota, to ensure your EcoSport, Explorer, or F-150 runs at its best. It's Been Six Months Since Your Last Oil Change The oil in your car keeps the parts lubricated and reduces friction that causes wear. Regular oil changes ensure your engine runs smoothly and your Ford lasts longer. The Ford factory-recommended oil changes are every 5,000 to 10,000 miles or every six months, depending on your Ford model, year, engine type, road conditions, and driving habits. You will find all the information on oil change intervals for your specific Ford model in your owner's manual. You Get a Warning From the Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor The Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor (IOLM) will warn you when your car needs an oil change. When you notice that the monitor is at 15 percent, it's time to change the oil. Don't wait until the monitor counts down to 0 percent to prevent engine damage. When you notice the warning schedule an appointment as soon as possible at Fury Waconia. The Oil Change or Check Engine Light Is On Oil is essential for your engine, and when your car is running low on oil, there's a problem with the sensor or the oil pump, the oil change light on your dashboard will go on. It's vital to change the oil as soon as possible. If the check engine light goes on, a more serious issue warns you that your vehicle is at risk of engine damage. The Oil Is Old and Dirty Clean engine oil is an amber color, but over time it gets dirty and contaminated, loses its protective qualities, and doesn't lubricate the parts effectively. When this happens, it will cause friction and wear, reducing the life of your engine. Check the oil's color monthly; when it turns brown and looks dirty, ask your Ford technician at Fury Waconia to change the oil. Your Car Is Leaking Oil Your car can leak oil for various reasons, including a loose oil filler cap, an incorrect filter replacement, an improperly sealed drain plug, or deteriorating engine gaskets. If you see greasy wet areas around the engine, get an oil change as soon as possible. When there's not enough oil, the engine is not adequately lubricated, and the friction will damage the parts. Follow your Ford's oil change schedule and heed the IOLM, and your engine will stay lubricated, your car last longer, and you will save money on unnecessary repairs. Visit Fury Waconia today for an expert oil change to ensure your Ford's engine is well-lubricated and running smoothly.

How To Tell You Need New Lights If your headlights seem less bright than they once were, or if they have started to blink on or off, your headlights may be near the end of their life and in need of replacement. If your headlights have begun emitting a foggy glow instead of clear, direct beams of light, that's another sign that replacement may be in order. High beams that don't work even if the regular beams do, and headlights that consistently blow fuses are also warning signs to watch for. Scheduling a service appointment at Fury Waconia will allow us to diagnose the problem and replace those lights if needed, before they burn out completely. What To Expect When Scheduling Headlight Service During your headlight service appointment, one of our factory-trained technicians at Fury Waconia will inspect your vehicle and determine the problem. In many cases, a simple headlight replacement is all that is needed. In some other cases, faulty wiring or some other electrical issue may also be a factor. We'll perform the appropriate repair and get you back behind the wheel in no time. If your vehicle needs new lights, we usually recommend having both lights replaced at the same time. Headlights are generally installed in pairs, and if one light goes out, the other is usually not far behind. Having both addressed during the same appointment will save you a trip back to our service department. How To Maintain Your New Lights Most standard headlights last for about five years, but your lights will still need regular maintenance checks. Your headlights can get knocked out of alignment as your vehicle is driven, and the plastic lenses that cover your headlamps can be damaged when rocks and other debris are kicked up from the road. Our service department at Fury Waconia will check out the headlights on your vehicle as part of routine tune-ups, but you may also want to get in the habit of visually inspecting your lights and looking for any damage. Our service department makes it easy and convenient to maintain your headlights and other parts of your car. We offer a comfortable waiting room and courtesy transportation for customers within a six-mile pick-up area who are having service work done. When you're ready to schedule your next service appointment, call Fury Waconia.

The Best Time For EV Charging Everywhere you look, there are more electric vehicles out on the road than ever before. With EV’s benefits to your wallet and the environment, even governments have gotten in on the buzz. For example, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, from 2020-2023, has invested $3.5 million in EV charging stations. This has expanded the already robust charging infrastructure by 2,500 miles. EV drivers can travel even further throughout Minnesota without worrying about where they’re going to recharge. However, there’s not much to worry about if you're a part of Ford’s Electric Vehicle Battery Roadside Assistance. Run out of charge on the road? Ford will tow you to either the nearest charging station, Ford EV-certified dealer, or even your home. When you drive a Ford EV, you drive safe, clean, and with peace of mind. button link to /new-vehicles/ View Inventory start content 2 The Types of EV Chargers Found In Minnesota Now that we’ve understood the vast support for EV’s with EV charging stations. Especially, when you’re a part of Ford’s Blue Oval Charge Network: the largest EV charging network in the United States. Let’s now take a look at the three types, or three levels, of EV chargers available and what they do. If the battery capacity of an electric vehicle is like a swimming pool, then the different levels of EV chargers can be considered the ways with which to fill that pool. A level 1 charger can be considered a bucket of water. It comes free with every EV and plugs into any standard, grounded 120-V outlet. It can take around a day or two for a level 1 charger to get an EV car to full capacity. The most common chargers are level 2 chargers, which can be thought of as a garden hose in our analogy. They can take around 8 hours to reach 80% EV capacity. Level 3 chargers can be seen as the fire hose of the EV chargers, offering full recharge in less than an hour. button link to /new-vehicles/ View Inventory start content 3 The Quick Breakdown On EV Charging Level 1 Level 2 Level 3, DC Fast Charging Charging Through 120V Plug Charging Through 240V Plug (Typically) Charging Through 480V Plug 2-5 Miles of Range/Hr of Charging 10-20 Miles of Range/Hr of Charging 60-80 Miles of Range/20 Minutes of Charging Most Often Found At Home Can Be Installed At Home, Most Often Public Public Charging Station Lowest Cost/Can Take Up To A Day or Longer For Full Charge Average Cost/Can Take 4-10 Hours For Full Charge Most Expensive/Can Take Less Than An Hour For Full Charge *Plug In-Hybrid Models Can Only Take Level 1 and Level 2 button link to /new-vehicles/ View Inventory start content 4 Helpful Tips and Info For EV Charging Around Minnesota DC Charging, the most expensive EV charger per kWh, will slow down charge when your vehicle’s battery is at 80%. So be sure to check the FordPass app to keep an eye on your car’s battery when you’re away from it! Most high traffic commercial areas, like restaurants and shopping malls, may have complimentary level 2 charging stations! Charging speed and driving range can be influenced by temperature! But Ford’s Intelligent Range system predicts changes to driving range based on information from its sensors! You don’t need a full 100% for daily driving! Consistent full-charges can harm battery life. Most recommend keeping the battery charged around 90% or even a little lower. The average capacity for EV vehicles is around 40 kWh. The Mach-E and the F-150 Lightning have standard capacities of 70 and 98 kWh, respectively. Charge costs vary on a lot of variables, from amount of traffic at the charger to time of day and, of course, what level of charger it is. However, the average cost to charge an EV vehicle in Minnesota is $25 with a Level 2 charger. This cost can be significantly lower if not free when you’re a part of the Ford’s Blue Oval Charge Network. Check your local legislation’s laws on EV! Some states provide rebates for vehicle purchase, charger installation, and more! Minnesota is in debate on offering a rebate on all levels of EV! button link to /new-vehicles/ View Inventory start content 5 Plug-In To More EV Information In Waconia, Minnesota Have any more questions?

What the Lights On Your Dash Mean and When To Schedule A Service. Your Ford dashboard is vital to your driving experience as it provides essential information regarding your vehicle's performance and condition. Lamps and indicators will illuminate on your dashboard once you start the car but turn off shortly after. If an issue is detected, that specific indicator will stay illuminated. It is wise to become familiar with your vehicle's indicators and lamps, not only because they keep you updated on your vehicle's vital information but because not all issues require immediate servicing. Here at Fury Ford Waconia, we can clear up some possible confusion. All lamps and indicators are defined in your vehicle's owner's manual, but let's cover some of the more frequently seen symbols. button link to /new-vehicles/ Schedule Service start content 2 Lamps/ Indicators and Their Meanings Anti- Lock Braking System (ABS) If this indicator illuminates during driving, you still have standard braking without ABS, but you will not have ABS braking enabled. The ABS system prevents the wheels from locking up and sliding under heavy braking or braking in slick conditions. If the warning lamp illuminates with the ABS light still on, have the system checked by the nearest Ford Dealer. Battery This lamp indicates a fault in the battery and/or charging system; if it illuminates while moving the vehicle is in motion, shut off all unnecessary electrical systems and have it checked at your nearest Ford Dealer. Brake System Warning Lamp Check if the parking brake is applied if the light comes on while driving. If the light remains on after the release of the parking brake, have the system checked at a dealer. These lights can signify a significant reduction in your vehicle’s braking capabilities, possibly even brake failure, meaning the vehicle may be unsafe to drive. Electric Park Brake You may see this light if there is a fault in the electric parking brake system. See your local Ford dealer for a diagnosis and repair of your electric parking brake system. Engine or Motor Coolant Temperature This lamp illuminates when the coolant temperature is high. When it is safe to do so, stop your vehicle and turn it off to allow the engine to cool. This issue can be caused by excessive engine load, faulty cooling system components, and low coolant levels. However, never open the radiator cap to add more coolant when the engine/coolant are hot, as the system is pressurized. Engine Oil Your engine oil plays a vital role in the longevity of your engine. If this light shows while the engine is running, a fault has been detected in the oil system and the vehicle should be stopped and shut off as soon as it is safe to do so. Check the oil level, and if the light persists with the correct level of oil, have the system checked by your local Ford dealer. You should not drive the vehicle in this condition. Front Airbag Your airbags are an integral safety feature of your Ford, and this light helps to let you know if they are functioning properly. If this light does not illuminate when the vehicle turns on, flashes, or remains on when the engine is running, there is a malfunction. See a Ford Dealer immediately. High Voltage Electric System Failure This hybrid-vehicle-specific lamp will illuminate if there is a component fault or failure in the high-voltage electrical system of your vehicle, causing shutdowns or entering restricted operating mode. The vehicle will not drive normally and should be checked by your local Ford dealer. Low Beam Warning This light illuminates when the system detects an error, such as a low beam lamp being burnt out, a fuse being blown, or other issues relating to the low beams. Low Tire Pressure Warning The lamp will illuminate when tire pressure is low. Low tire pressure can happen naturally over time, but can also be an indicator of a leak caused by a puncture. Driving on a tire with low pressure can eventually cause a blowout, so be sure to check the air pressure as soon as it is safe to do so. This light should also come on briefly during vehicle startup (if equipped with a TPMS system). If it does not illuminate in the ignition “on” position, or if the light flashes, have it checked by your local Ford dealer. Powertrain Fault The lamp will illuminate when the system detects a malfunction in the powertrain. Stay away from driving with this lamp on; contact a dealer as soon as possible. Service Engine Soon This lamp will illuminate before the engine starts so you can verify the bulb works, and will turn off if no issues are detected. If the lamp illuminates while operating, a malfunction has been detected in the emission control system. If the lamp flashes while operating, it may indicate an engine misfire which would reduce engine power or cause failure. See the dealer immediately. We hope this article has clarified the lamps and indicators found on your vehicle's dashboard. With this knowledge, you can now drive with the utmost confidence and respond appropriately to your Ford's condition.
