5 Signs Your Ford Needs a New Car Battery

Even the most dependable cars require regular maintenance, and an important part of your regular maintenance should be your car battery. We understand the importance of your Ford's battery in ensuring a smooth and safe driving experience, so we want to let you in on the signs that you need a new car battery from your Ford dealer. 5 Signs You Need a New Car Battery From Your Ford Dealer The Engine Cranks Slowly One of the first signs that your Ford might need a new battery is when the engine cranks slowly. When you turn the ignition key, and the engine turns over sluggishly, it's often due to the battery losing its charge. This slow cranking is a clear indication that the battery is not providing the necessary power to start the engine efficiently, so come see us to get it checked out. more The Check Engine or Battery Light Comes On When the check engine or battery light illuminates on your dashboard, your battery could be underperforming. This light is normally triggered when the battery's voltage falls below normal levels, signaling that it might be time for a battery check or replacement. You Notice a Swollen Battery Case A swollen battery case is a visible and alarming sign of battery failure. This swelling can result from exposure to extreme temperatures, leading to the warping or cracking of the battery case. If you notice any bulging or deformity in your Ford's battery case, it's crucial to address it immediately. The internal components of the battery are compromised, and the consequences could be very serious. There Are Electrical Component Issues Your Ford's battery is the power source for all its electrical components, so if you start experiencing issues with these components – such as dimming headlights, flickering dashboard lights, or power windows that operate slower than usual – you might have a failing battery on your hand. It's essential to get these checked, as they not only impact your driving experience but can also be safety hazards. The Battery Is Getting Old A typical car battery has a lifespan of about 3 to 5 years, depending on usage and environmental conditions. If your Ford's battery is within this age range, get it checked regularly. Older batteries are more prone to failure and might need replacement, even if they haven't shown other signs of malfunction. At Cloninger Ford of Salisbury, we prioritize your vehicle's health and your safety. Our service center is equipped to handle comprehensive battery checks, repairs, and replacements. If you're experiencing any of these signs, or if it's just time for a routine check-up, come to Cloninger Ford of Salisbury, right away.

Enjoy! Trim Levels of the 2022 Ford Edge Edge SE The base trim of the 2022 Edge is built on a 250-horsepower 2.0L turbocharged engine, which is the same powertrain that powers each trim level (other than the top-tier ST trim).

In terms of features, the ST-Line builds on everything the SEL has and adds a power liftgate, wireless charging pad, and an available panoramic moonroof. Edge Titanium The Titanium trim takes a different route to upgrading the SEL by swapping out the sportiness of the ST-Line for a luxuriousness all its own. Building on the SEL's features, the Titanium adds a 12-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system, a foot-activated power liftgate, dual exhaust outlets, 19-inch aluminum wheels, and available features like Enhanced Parking Assist and ventilated front seats. Edge ST The top trim for the Edge, the ST, is all about performance. This is the only Edge trim level that upgrades the Edge's powertrain: the ST runs on a twin-turbocharged V6 engine that delivers exceptional power and acceleration. The ST also comes with a 7-speed SelectShift automatic transmission, rain-sensing wipers, 20-inch wheels, sport suspension, some new sporty styling cues on the exterior and interior, and plenty more.

The available Hands-Free Foot-Activated Liftgate lets you access your cargo area with ease. 2. Optimize Your Visibility with the 360-Degree Camera Now you can see in every direction at once in your 2021 Explorer, because it comes with an available 360-degree camera with a split-view. There are cameras strategically located on the outside of your Explorer at the front grille, under the side mirrors, and at the liftgate. This way, you can see every angle of your car and its surroundings when you're heading out on a rugged trail or need a little help parking in a tight spot. 3. Tackle Any Condition with the Terrain Management System You get the Terrain Management System standard with your 2021 Explorer. This means you can get up to seven selectable drive modes, if your Explorer is equipped with Intelligent 4WD. There's Tow/Haul mode to help you carry the heavy loads, Sport mode for optimal acceleration, Trail mode for off-roading, Eco mode to maximize fuel efficiency, Slippery mode for rain and light snow, Deep Snow/Sand mode for intense traction control, and Normal mode for everyday commutes. 4. Impressive and Powerful Hybrid Model The 2021 Explorer has the available Limited Hybrid trim. This is the only hybrid of any large utility vehicle. What's more impressive is that the 2021 Explorer Limited Hybrid comes with all of the off-roading features of the gas-powered 2021 Explorers. It doesn't sacrifice power and capability for efficiency and economy. Instead, the Limited Hybrid can tow up to 5,000 pounds when fully equipped! 5. Standard Safety Assists You get peace of mind in every 2021 Explorer because they all come standard with Ford CoPilot360. This suite of safety assistance features includes a rear-view backup camera so you don't have to lean over your shoulder to see behind you. The Blind Spot Information System with Cross-Traffic Alert monitors your tricky-to-see blind spots and makes sure you don't change lanes or back out when another car is in your way.
