Ford Remote Access Application Turns Your Smartphone into a Virtual Keyfob

WESTLAND, Mich. - Ford Motor Company is known for constantly evolving to make their customer’s lives as easy as possible, and their new Ford Remote Access application turns your Smartphone into a virtual keyfob. For select Ford and Lincoln vehicles, this new Remote Access application is now available using your Smartphone, taking these vehicles a step above their competition.

This Remote Access application from Ford Custom Accessories turns your Smartphone into a virtual keyfob, allowing you to control your car from any given distance.  This application gives you the ability to lock, unlock, and even remote start you vehicle.  Since the Remote Access App works via satellite, you can pretty much control your car from anywhere.  The app also has a helpful Find feature to help you locate your car, for those times where you're parked in a large lot or parking garage.  If you can’t find it, or something happens to your vehicle, the Remote Access app can at least let you know it’s safe with optional email/text security alerts. That way, no matter where you are in relation to your car, you will be alerted if there’s a security breach.

This application is especially exciting because it can be added to cars that are a few years old, as opposed to only being available to new models. The Ford Remote Access is an application that we can easily install to Ford and Lincoln models at our dealership. So whether you’re in the market for a used or new car, this feature can still be installed in your vehicle. We have a wide selection of certified pre-owned cars for sale at our Inkster used car dealership.

As of right now, there is the option to purchase the application if you drive a 2013 model year or newer Taurus, Flex, Lincoln MKT or Lincoln MKS.  The Remote Access system is also available on the 2011 or newer Super Duty, Edge, Explorer, F-150, and Lincoln MKX. You can find all of these vehicles and more with North Brothers Ford, Inkster area Ford dealer.

2013 Ford Fusion, First Global Vehicle To Use Recycled Materials

WESTLAND, Mich.- Over the past year we've been reporting on Ford Motor Company's efforts to become more sustainable and eco friendly, and with recent announcements, the automaker's commitment is stronger than ever. Ford is the first automaker to use recycled materials in vehicles sold around the world! Specifically, the 2013 Ford Fusion is the first global vehicle to use recycled materials!

As part of the brand's commitment to use recycled materials whenever possible, Ford has increased the use of recycled yarns by 66% since 2007. Using 41 fabrics across 15 vehicle lines globally, Ford's use of sustainable fabrics continues to grow as the automaker continues to add global vehicle programs.

Ford Motor Company's commitment to doing business in an eco-conscious way is seen in the global launch of the redesigned Fusion. The first global vehicle to use recycled materials, the 2013 Ford Fusion features seat fabric made from materials including recycled plastic water bottles and post-industrial waste. Think about it this way: In 2009, Americans generated 30 million tons of plastic waste and recycled only 7% of it. But, the amount of plastic in about 40 clear plastic bottles is woven into the fabric of the Ford Fusion. Over the course of a production year, the effect could be dramatic! Not to mention, the fabric in the Fusion Hybrid is 100% recycled!

All of this on top of the countless positive reviews and ratings, plus the unparalleled stylish new design, makes the 2013 Ford Fusion a top pick! Want to own your very own Fusion? Check out our 2013 Ford Fusion Brochure, then stop by our Wayne Area Ford Dealership to take one for a test drive, and to learn more about our Ford Fusion Rebates!

Memorial Day Safe Driving Tips
-Refrain from all cell phone use while behind the wheel.
-Buckle up every time you get in the car, even if you're in the back seat, and make sure passengers buckle up too.
-Seat children in age-appropriate safety seats, and make sure children under 12 years old are always seated in the back seat.
-Consider traffic and plan for extra travel time to avoid the temptation to speed.
-Be cautiously aware of other drivers and drive defensively, especially during poor weather conditions.

Evolution of the Liftgate

WESTLAND, Mich.- One of the latest impressive features to hit ford vehicles is the hands-free liftgate which opens and closes with just a gentle kicking motion under the bumper, no need to fumble with your key. The 2013 Ford Escape was the first in its segment to offer the motion-sensing power liftgate which can be adjusted manually to meet specific customer needs. This new feature is just one more example of how far Ford vehicles have come over the years which made us think about the Evolution of the Ford Motor Company Liftgate.

Let's first go back to 1929 when the Ford Model A featured the first flip-down tailgate. The Model A flip-down tailgate paved the way for future tailgate innovation, and today we're familiar with the flip-down style on the Ford F-150! Almost 25 years later, we got our first taste of convenience with the push-button option. The 1952 Ford Country Squire station wagon liftgate opened in the back with just the push of a button.

 As the evolution of the lifgate began to progress more quickly, Ford Motor Company brought a little bit of magic to the vehicle rear with the 1966 Ford Fairlane and Falcon. The Ford Fairlane and Falcon wagon liftgate's both swung open and folded down. It was like magic! The swing open liftgate made its way to the iconic Ford Bronco which featured a rear-mounted spare tire that swung open to allow you to open the tailgate.

The two-part liftgate remained present on Ford SUVs like the Escape which featured liftgate in addition to a window hatch that allowed access to the rear via the back window. When we take a look at today's liftgate, the hands-free liftgate makes access easier than ever before! Come check out our New Ford Cars to experience the new Ford liftgate, or check out our Certified Pre-Owned Cars For Sale if you prefer an earlier liftgate style!
