The road conditions and weather can sometimes be unpredictable. The Fusion Energi features an AdvanceTrac electronic stability control system to help you stay in control.

The ESC also features curve control. What does this feature do?

The tire pressure light could mean a sudden drop in pressure due to tire damage, or it could just be that over time, your tire pressure has changed and needs to be filled again at the nearest gas station. The only way to tell is by checking your tire pressure monitor or using the tire pressure gauge to see what the pressure has fallen to.

The numbers on your tire give you the precise pressure that you need, or you can look at the owner's manual to see what's best for your vehicle. In most cases, it is…

4-wheel drive vehicles can provide their owners with many valuable benefits. They perform well in rough terrain and in inclement weather, not to mention being good work vehicles. That said, 2-wheel drive vehicles also provide many perks, including increased gas mileage and improved front-wheel traction.
