The 2015 Ford Mustang in Review

Your vehicle is outfitted with a range of different warning and indicator lights. These are designed to help you maintain its performance and safety. By illuminating, these lights warn you of issues that could potentially cause problems with your Ford or Lincoln. Warning Lights If any of the following lights illuminate, it is a warning that something is amiss with your vehicle. You should make arrangements to have it checked by a qualified technician as soon as possible. Charge: If the image of a car battery illuminates while the engine is running, this indicates that the charge system is not fully functional. Turn the car off and check the generator belt. Antilock Brakes: The antilock brake system is indicated by the letters "ABS" that illuminate when you turn the car on. This light should go off after a few seconds. If it doesn't, there could be an issue with your braking system. Power Steering: The power steering system is indicated that it is working by the letters "PS" that light up when you start your vehicle. If this warning light illuminates as you're driving, however, you should take the car to have its power steering system checked. Low Tire Pressure: A circle that is flattened and that has an exclamation point inside is an indication to you that your tire pressure is low. It's important to realize that though this light illuminates when you start your car, it should go off shortly afterward. Seatbelt: This warning light is the image of a person wearing a seat belt and is a reminder for everyone to buckle up. It might also be accompanied by a tone or chime as a reminder as well. Brake: This indicator features the word "BRAKE" and tells you that your brake fluid is low or that the parking brake is engaged. In some models, the indicator could be an exclamation point inside a circle that is then inside a set of parenthesis instead of the word "BRAKE." Supplemental AIrbag: Once you turn on your vehicle, an indicator light that has a person who is seated with a seatbelt and circular airbag will be illuminated for about seven seconds. If you see this indicator on for any longer than that, though, it is a sign that some type of service is necessary. Master: This indicator light comprises an exclamation point that is located inside a triangle. There are several different reasons this could light up including a loose fuel cap, your door or trunk is open, the fuel is low, the key is absent, the windshield washer fluid is low, the tire pressure needs to be checked or your parking brake needs to be released. These warning and indicator lights might be confusing and worrisome. If you have any questions about any of the lights you see on the dash of your Ford or Lincoln or if your vehicle needs servicing, Ford Lincoln of Franklin is ready to help.

Performance enthusiasts from coast to coast have been watching with wanting eyes their cousins across the pond rally around in the Ford Focus RS. Punchy, sure footed, and just tons of fun, the RS was only an object of admiration and maybe even some downright lustful feelings for drivers here in the states. more That’s all about to change. At the North American Auto Show in Detroit this past winter, Ford execs made it official that the pumped up Focus RS was destined for showrooms in America sometime around late 2016. This little hot-hatch looks to be a little monster with AWD and a Turbo 4 cranking out over 300hp through a tight shifting six-speed manual transmission. It’s hard not to get excited about the possibilities. Features Set up with some beefed up suspension components and channeling what looks like will be in excess of 320hp through an AWD powertrain, the RS looks like it’ll scream on the straight line and tear up cornering. Coupled with Ford’s Launch-control system that will let you dial in aggressiveness, and with a snappy 6-speed manual with a tight pattern and positive feel, driving this car will be like strapping into an F-16 and popping off the end of the runway in a full power vertical. And because it’s not set to compete with its legendary cousin the Mustang, the engineers have been given the go-ahead to pull out all the stops. So we’re thinking it’s only going to get better with age. Performance is the key design consideration here Sway bars front and rear are performance-refined spring rated that come together with unique two-mode shocks for a firm setting body and a minimum of pitch and yaw. Electric-assist power steering has been tuned to give you the maximum in responsiveness while at the same time reducing the amount of understeer. Launch-control, working with some advanced driveline control systems, manage acceleration profiles and deliver maximum traction to the road. From raw and aggressive to a little subdued, you can select how the car pops off the line. Other key elements include a rear diffuser, front and rear spoilers, and a large frontal opening that allows form maximum engine cooling air-flow. The body has been aerodynamically balanced to create an optimum-high-speed driving zero-lift-envelope. Turbo-charged goodness The power-plant starts with a 2.3L four with turbo-charged aspiration and is tuned to deliver in excess of 315hp. The six-speed manual transmission is coupled to the wheels through an advanced AWD drive system. The AWD includes a torque vectoring system that maximizes traction and helps the EPS minimize understeer. Goodies galore Inside the cabin leather covered Recaro® sport seats show off the RS themed design with enhanced stitching, and a race inspired flat bottom steering wheel sits in the console surrounded by a slew of instrumentation reporting boost pressure, oil temperature, and oil pressure to the driver. The RS logo carries throughout the interior with floor mats, steering wheel, and door scuff plates all badged with a prominent RS banner.
