PRE-COLLISION ASSIST WITH PEDESTRIAN DETECTION106

If the system's sensors detect a potential collision with a car or pedestrian walking in from of you, a warning flashes in the instrument cluster and an audible alert sounds. The brakes will also pre-charge and increase brake-assist sensitivity to provide full responsiveness when you do break.106  If you do not take corrective action and a collision is imminent, brakes can apply automatically. Smart features like Pre-Collision Assist with Pedestrian Detection can assist your employees and maintain uptime to keep your business vehicles on the road and taking care of your customers.

DRIVER-ASSIST TECHNOLOGIES

Over the course of a day, several employees could be driving your Transit Connect Cargo Van. That, in turn, means different levels of driving expertise. With that in mind, a wide range of technologies were developed to help keep them all confident behind the wheel. These features include the available BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross-Traffic Alert, Lane-Keeping System and Forward Collision Warning with Brake Support.10

    AVAILABLE LANE-KEEPING SYSTEM10

    A camera mounted behind the windshield scans the road lane markings to determine vehicle position and detect a lane departure. The available system can operate day or night. Lane-keeping alert warns you through a series of steering-wheel vibrations, which mimic driving over a rumble strip, should the system detect an unintentional lane departure.10 Lane-keeping aid actively applies steering torque, which alerts you to direct your vehicle back into the target lane should the system detect an unintended lane departure.*10 U.S. Model Shown.

    AVAILABLE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL10

    Available adaptive cruise control is a revolution over conventional cruise control. When its radar sensor detects traffic slowing ahead, your vehicle also slows down.10 After traffic has cleared, your vehicle resumes the preset speed. This system lets the driver select the speed and preferred distance between vehicles. U.S. Model Shown.

    AVAILABLE BLIS® WITH CROSS-TRAFFIC ALERT10

    The available BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with cross-traffic alert10 helps boost driving confidence. Radar technology identifies if a vehicle is detected in your blind spot and alerts you with an indicator light in the appropriate exterior mirror. Cross-traffic alert also uses radar to watch for traffic approaching from either side behind your vehicle as you are slowly backing out of a parking spot or driveway. If cross-traffic sensors detect a vehicle approaching from up to 13.7 metres (45 feet) away, you will be audibly and visually alerted.10

SIDE-WIND STABILIZATION SYSTEM

Standard side-wind stabilization technology19  is designed to help reduce driver stress and fatigue during highway driving in high winds. The system monitors sensors and, if a strong wind gust is detected, it carefully applies the brakes on one side to help the driver stay in the lane. It works in conjunction with Roll Stability Control™ 10  on slippery surfaces – to help avoid skids, lateral slides and potential vehicle rollovers.
