New Year's Resolutions for Drivers at Crain Ford of Jacksonville

Each December, we start thinking about New Year’s resolutions. What is it that we’d like to work on and improve upon ourselves in the coming year? Most people say they want to get healthy and start exercising, or maybe they want to spend more quality time with family. 

Whatever your resolution may be, we often don’t think about our Ford car, truck, SUV, or van being part of that resolution. Have you ever thought about bettering your driving habits or cleaning out your car on a regular basis? Those could be resolutions that are not only easily obtainable but helpful and beneficial to you at the same time.

Start Your 2024 in a New Ford or Used Vehicle from Crain Ford of Jacksonville

At Crain Ford of Jacksonville, we want you to get the most out of your Ford and help you have a better time driving on and off the road. Let’s explore some New Year’s resolution ideas that can help improve your life on the highway. 

One idea is to become more familiar with your car in general. While no one wants to read the owner’s manual, there’s actually a lot of useful information in there. Your owner’s manual should be your go-to for all things pertaining to your Ford. It includes maintenance and troubleshooting advice as well as a symbols glossary that explains all your Ford’s functions.

Part of the owner’s manual will include information about all of the driver-assist technology, which leads us to another resolution idea. Most of us don’t even realize all the functions our Ford can do for us because we’ve never taken the time actually to learn about them all.

If we don’t know what our Ford can do, we may be missing out on safety features that could keep you safe. You might also be missing out on helpful technology designed to make you a better driver. Ford Co-Pilot360 is great, but if you don’t know what it is, how do you know?

Find Out What Your Ford Can Do For You with Driver-Assist Technology

Ford Co-Pilot360 is a technology designed to keep you safer behind the wheel in order to become a better and more confident driver. Lane-Keep System, Evasive Steering Assist, Rear View Camera, and Hill Descent Control are just a few of the safety features included. It’s important to crack open that owner’s manual, look up those functions, and learn more about them.

As you continue to think about New Year’s resolutions, make sure to put reading your owner’s manual and learning about your different driver-assist technologies on your list. By reading your owner’s manual, you’ll become more comfortable with how to find answers to any issues that may arise. Using your driver-assist technologies will become second nature once you’ve learned all the great things they can do for you.

Contact us if you need assistance with meeting any of your New Year’s resolutions for 2024. While you’re here, we can answer any questions about our Ford line-up, including our pickup truck, the F-150, or our EV version, the F-150 Lightning. Maybe you want to test drive a new Explorer? We can set that up too. Make Crain Ford of Jacksonville at 1800 School Drive your final destination for all things Ford.
