The excellent array of safety features in a modern Ford provide you with all the real-time data you need to make optimal driving decisions. Let’s take a look at some of the best Ford features that keep you and your passengers safe on the roads. If you’d like to see more, you can always visit your local Ford dealer to request a demo.
5 Safety Features You’ll Find on Today’s Ford Vehicles
Pre-Collision Assist
Your Ford can see a collision coming in advance and take action to avoid it or at least reduce the severity of an impact. By constantly scanning the road ahead with advanced camera technology, your car can detect signs of an imminent collision with another vehicle or even a pedestrian.
It will then warn you audibly and visually. And if you fail to take corrective action in time, your car will even apply the brakes for you. This collision-avoiding technology works both night and day.
Blind Spot Information System
A human driver’s blind spots to the rear and either side of the car have always been a source of danger while driving. That danger is greatly diminished by Ford’s Blind Spot Information System, also known as BLIS. Radar technology continuously monitors your blind spots and provides a clear warning when another vehicle approaches from either side.
Cross-Traffic Alert
Drivers often face a similar lack of visibility when backing out of a driveway or parking spot. Until they’ve backed out a significant distance, it’s difficult to see vehicles approaching from either side.
Ford’s Cross-Traffic Alert uses the same BLIS visual radar sensors to detect oncoming cars. It then alerts you with a light on the corresponding side view mirror.
Adaptive Cruise Control
Prevention is always better than cure, and the surest way to prevent a road accident is to drive defensively and safely. One key aspect of safe driving is maintaining a suitable distance from the vehicle ahead at all times.
The Adaptive Cruise Control feature handles this for you. It keeps a safe, preset distance, slowing when the car ahead slows and also accelerating when necessary.
Lane-Keeping System
Accidentally veering into another lane is an unfortunately common cause of accidents. The Lane-Keeping System alerts you when you start to drift by vibrating the steering wheel. It even provides a little extra torque to help you get back into the center.
Ford’s Lane-Keeping System is so advanced that it can even detect when you’re tired. If you repeatedly wander toward another lane, it sounds an audible alert, prompting you to pull over for a rest.
