Ford Helps New Customers Learn More About Features Through “Video Snacks”

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill. - April 20, 2013 - PRLog -- In order to acclimate new vehicle owners to their newest state-of-the-art technology features, Ford has come up with a new program called “Video Snacks.” Each of these short videos provide Ford’s customers with easy to understand directions about how to use one of the new tech features in their automobile. All of the latest Ford technologies are offered as standard or optional equipment on the 2013 Ford lineup (http://www.ahford.com/inventory/newsearch/New/), available now at Arlington Heights Ford.

The recent surge in smartphone apps, wireless calling, navigation systems, parking assistant systems, and a range of other technologies have made driving a more convenient, safer, and entertaining experience than ever before. However, some drivers have found their new interiors to be complicated and sometimes overwhelming. The valuable new “Video Snacks” cut down on long and inconvenient explanations of tech features at the dealership and let drivers accustom themselves to their new vehicle’s capabilities on their own time.

The technologies being offered as standard and optional equipment on 2013 Ford models are manifold. Among these features is a popular new option called “My Key,” an interesting feature for parents who are concerned about their son or daughter’s driving habits. “My Key” allows automobile owners to choose a number of different limiting settings on the vehicle. If parents want to limit the speed at which their child drives or the volume at which their child listens to music, these settings can be made permanent whenever their child drives the car. “My Key” also includes other safety and convenience technologies, including muted radio until the driver seatbelt is buckled, an early low fuel warning, and automatically locked-on parking and driving assist technologies. Videos assisting new Ford owners with “My Key” and over 100 other Ford tech and features is available through the “Video Snacks” program.
