Driving Ford cars even more enjoyable in 2010: Add more melodious miles to your journey

Ford is always in the forefront of installing new technologies in its cars. Girard Ford, a leading Ford dealership in Norwich, CT, is pleased to inform that iTunes Tagging and HD Radio technology that produces crystal clear sound are Ford's latest features newly available on 2010 Ford cars. The iTunes Tagging and HD Radio technology are strong new additions to the growing collection of Ford convenience features and technology.

The HD Radio technology captures free digital radio broadcasts, eliminates static, fadeout and other problems associated with conventional analog radio signals; the result is FM audio that's comparable to near-CD quality and AM audio that sounds like today's FM broadcasts. Further, HD Radio digital technology delivers a host of advanced services such as extra FM channels (Called HD2/HD3 channels) well as useful on-screen Program Service Data such as artist name and song title that are not available with an analog radio. And Ford is the first auto manufacturer to offer HD Radio technology with iTunes Tagging capability.

Girard Ford, the premier Ford dealership for new Ford and used cars in Norwich, CT, believes this is another example of Ford's commitment to bring the widest variety of factory-installed customer-focused technology, features and conveniences to millions of people.

Child Safety Week concludes everywhere else except at Girard Ford!

Alarming statistics that state 4 children less than 14 years of age were killed every day in 2008 due to motor accidents surely ring a warning bell. Securing our children is a simple process, but its neglect can prove extremely costly. The National Child Passenger Safety Week by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) that concluded on the 18th of September helped generate awareness about the simple measures that can secure our children.

During the Child Passenger Safety Week that took place between September 12 to 18, parents and caretakers got their child safety seats checked, for which purpose thousands of free safety seat inspection stations were set up across the country. English- and Spanish-speaking child passenger safety technicians answered questions and ensured the proper installation of child safety seats.

The following insights further strengthen the importance of Child safety seats:

Child safety seats reduce the risk of death in car crashes by 71% for infants and 54% for toddlers ages one to four.
For children ages 4 to 7, booster seats reduce injury risk by 59% compared to safety belts alone.

Girard Ford, the premier Ford dealer in the Middletown area, CT, congratulates the NHTSA for this wonderful initiative. Girard Ford will take this initiative beyond this week, and will continue to educate people in the Norwich, Middletown, Preston area about the importance of child safety seats.
