Did you know that with the FordPass app and a SYNC, SYNC 3, or

SYNC Connect equipped vehicle, when you see a warning light in your information

display, you'll also receive an alert on your phone

providing you with more information on what is happening and what you should do.

If you've ever seen one of these lights suddenly appear on your dash,

you've probably wondered, what does it mean?

And more importantly, what should I do?

With FordPass, once a warning light appear on your dash, you'll then instantly get

an alert notification on your smartphone, telling you what has been detected.

Swiping left on your phone's touchscreen gives you a brief explanation of

what is happening.

A minor issue may be an improperly sealed fuel cap.

Whereas a major issue could be an engine overheating condition.

It'll then give you direction on what to do.

If you prefer, you can request roadside assistance

by pressing the red triangle icon or you can touch here to find a dealer and

schedule a vehicle check up through FordPass.

You can also view your own vehicle health status at any time using the FordPass

app by touching the My Vehicles card.

Next, choose which vehicle you want to report on and

touch that vehicle's image, then Vehicle Health, and About Vehicle Health.

Now choose a category for an explanation of what systems are checked in that group.

To schedule automatic vehicle health reports and the duration you receive them

in, touch Schedule Report on the vehicle health page.

Keep in mind, upon starting your vehicle these indicators light up as a routine

check to verify functionality.

But if certain indicators remain illuminated while your engine continues to

run, they could be alerting you to a serious condition.

One more thing, you can download FordPass via the App Store or Google Play.

FORD FIESTA TEST 1.25 82HP PETROL | SWAY THE WAY - Duration: 6:23.

We are on holidays in South Italy.

We have rented Ford Fiesta in Europcar car rental service.

We figured we could share our opinions with you.

It's a version with petrol engine.

1.25

We won't be talking technical stuff

because you can check it easly on the website.

The engine surprised us with its'

performance.

As it is only 1.25

and the area here is quite hilly.

It manages quite ok.

Sometimes while driving uphill on the highway we could use more power.

But while driving in the countryside

you can't feel this need.

Acceleration is fine

same with slowing down.

Great for italian and polish roads.

We can feel this car is quite new

it's 2016, so the brake and the steering system

is really great and new.

When I drive more slowly the steering system

is softer and when I accelerate or

we are on the highway

it becomes more rigid.

It is really comfortable, the steering system is

quite precise.

It sticks to the road well.

Turnes easly.

You can well feel the size of this car.

Speaking of ergonomics

it is ok.

Gearbox is quite stiff and handy.

Driving experience is really good.

Gearbox is nice.

Let's talk about the design.

We are not too sure about it

beacuse

in my opinion from the outside this car is really pretty.

Of course it depends on the taste.

We've got the red version

like Ferrari

It's youthful from the outside

modern

but the design inside for me is a misunderstanding.

This on the dashboard is terrible.

We've got an angel

Julia calls it an angle, for me it's

an alien.

Terrible.

There is no good place for a smartphone.

iPhone 6 doesn't fit.

iPhone Se on the other hand does

but at an angle.

So if you try to put it there and use as a sat nav,

gearbox covers it.

Air conditioning pannel is ok.

It's easy to comprehend.

This design is just misleading.

We don't understand why it was designed that way.

Speedometer is clear.

Don't know what it is,

to this time appeared here only full beam indicator.

Despite strange size of the compartments

they are useful.

This one we use for the keys.

We've got the 12V plug

USB plug

and AUX plug

cup compartments

and another one for passenger in the back.

Door bins

can fit enough.

And the glove box.

What is also nice about the gearbox

is that it has

the system taken from automatic transmision

holding the car

on the uphill roads.

It holds the car in place for some time

It's really useful on a hilly area like here.

For 1.25 engine

and about 80 km without turbo

very nice.

We are pleased.

Fuel consumption is around 6,5 l.

For our trip the milage is already almost 1000 km.

On the highway

at around 140/150 km/h

fuel consumption increases

to around

7-7,5 l.

But the average fuel consumption

is about 6,5 l.

What else

as for boot space,

this is not huge

but for our needs is ok.

What is really positive -

seats are very comfortable.

During the longer roadtrips

back feels fine

they are truly comfortable.

Maybe it's due to lumbar section reinforcement

but usually we use some pillows to support our back

here we don't need it.

Seats are amazing.

We are truly satisfied with this car.

So our general evaluation

is positive!

See you soon!

Road to Dubai Motorshow | Episode 3: Ford Mustang - Evolution of an Icon - Duration: 4:10.

Hello I'm Alix and welcome back to Ford's Road to Dubai Motorshow series

This week we're taking a look at a true motoring icon - of course it is the Ford Mustang

Road to Dubai Motorshow 2017 Episode three, Ford Mustang: Evolution of an Icon

It has featured in literally thousands of movies, been sung about

and even appeared on top of Dubai's very own Burj Khalifa

No points for guessing because it can only be, of course the Ford Mustang

Joining me today is Andrew Gregory - passionate Mustang owner

and Ford's Brand Marketing Manager in the Middle East and Africa

So Andrew, we're talking about a true legend aren't we - what is it that makes the Ford Mustang so, so special?

Well I think firstly one of the things that resonates with people

is that the Mustang has always been perceived as a an affordable performance car

it's got a really broad appeal - you might think of a certain type of Mustang driver

but the first-ever owner of the Mustang was actually a woman

in fact an American school teacher from Chicago and she still drives the same car today

Wow! So looking back 53, almost 54 years ago then it was quite a revolution?

Absolutely at the time was what we call a white space product

that is Ford had launched an entirely new type of car

in fact the press kit of the time actually described it as three types of car

it was an economical car a high-performance car and a high style luxury car

and customers responded brilliantly to it - it actually only took two years for Ford to sell its millionth Mustang

and then of course you have the legendary film appearances James Bond and Goldfinger in 1964

and probably most famously of all Steve McQueen

driving the 1968 Highland Green fastback in the film Bullitt

An absolutely fantastic film to watch and really recognizable

throughout the generations and over the years obviously the style has changed to fit the era

but I mean what is it that still makes it so iconic and keeps those traditional lines

Absolutely it's always been you know car a product of its time if you like going from a pony car to a muscle car

to arguably a more conservative and pragmatic platform in the late 70s and 80s

I think what it's always had though are those design cues that make it familiar as a Mustang

and that's something that is particularly strong in the current Mustang

particularly with the tri-bar taillights and the three LEDs that hark back to the original style of Mustang

And talking about the current generation then

what is it that allowed the Mustang to become the world's best-selling sports car in 2016

It was the first Mustang to be properly sold in Europe

and the difference between driving on a country road in the UK or Germany for instance

is completely different to a wide open straight road in the US for example

and I think the car had to be rethought and redesigned in order to cope with that

and it really benefited from that.

I think we also made really big strides on the interior

especially the cockpit that has really nice design cues that make you feel like you're actually in a fighter jet and

it's a really cool place to be.

You know, I drive my Mustang every day and every time I fire up the v8

it puts a big smile on my face.

I can absolutely tell that you're passionate about your car and a Mustang fan yourself

for those Mustang fans tell me is there some news that we should be looking out for shortly?

I think it's fair to say yes

but you know we've got some pretty exciting news coming but at the moment it's all hush-hush

Yes and as ever stay tuned to Ford Middle East's social networks for all of that special news

Thanks so much for joining us - we'll see you next week

when we'll have even more exciting new things to show you
