When you drive a Ford, you travel with the peace of mind that only comes from the Ford Co-Pilot 360™ safety suite. Continue reading to learn more about some of the key features that make a Ford one of the safest cars on the market.
Ford Co-Pilot360™ Technology Highlights
Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking
Pre-Collision Assist utilizes camera and radar technology to detect and alert you to pedestrians, cyclists, and other vehicles in both light and dark conditions. If a possible collision is detected, your Ford will emit an audible and visual alert in the message center so that you can react accordingly.
If you are unable to brake in time, Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) will activate by heightening the response of your brakes or may even apply the brakes automatically. If the car detects that braking is insufficient to avoid a collision, available Evasive Braking Assist can help you steer around the car or pedestrian to minimize the chance of impact.
BLIS® with Cross Traffic Alert
With BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System), you can change lanes confidently on the highway knowing that no one is traveling in your blind spot. Radar sensors will trigger an indicator light on your sideview mirror to alert you of potential vehicles outside your line of sight. These radars can also alert you to passing drivers as you slowly back out of a parking spot thanks to Cross Traffic Alert. An audible alert will sound so you can stop and allow the passing vehicle to safely navigate past your car.
Adaptive Cruise Control
Certain Ford models offer Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) to help you maintain a safe cruising distance from the car in front of you. Rather than requiring you to constantly brake and reset your speed, ACC adjusts the speed and brakes for you using radar and camera technology.
ACC with Stop-and-Go will adapt the speed even if the car ahead of you comes to a complete stop. Also included with ACC is the Lane Centering feature which reads lane markings to keep you safely in your lane if it senses you may be drifting into another lane. Finally, Speed Sign Recognition automatically adjusts your cruising speed to the posted speed limit.
