This standard Ford Co-Pilot360^™ Technology feature can help reduce the severity of, and possibly eliminate, a collision directly in front of you.¹¹⁸ The system can detect a potential collision, then emit an audible alert as well as display a warning message in the message centre. What’s more, Automatic Emergency Braking can precharge and increase brake-assist sensitivity to provide full responsiveness when you do brake. If you don’t take corrective action and a collision is imminent, the brakes can apply automatically.¹¹⁸

It’s rush hour on the highway. You’re towing a trailer. And you need to change lanes. If this situation sounds daunting, it usually is. But available BLIS^® with Cross-Traffic Alert¹⁰ and trailer coverage can help ease lane-change anxiety – even with a trailer in tow. It can alert you not only when a vehicle is spotted in your blind spot but also when one is alongside the trailer.¹⁰

It happens to the best of drivers. A moment of distraction — and you start drifting. But the standard Lane-Keeping System^10,138 can assist you with a camera that scans the lane markings ahead and alerts you should this occur.¹⁰ The system has three modes: LaneKeeping Alert¹⁰ warns you with steering wheel vibrations that simulate driving over a rumble strip. Lane-Keeping Assist¹⁰ applies steering torque to direct you back to the centre of the lane. You can set the system to activate either the Alert or Assist mode, or both. And there’s Driver Alert¹⁰ that sends out warnings in the message centre when it detects repeated lane drifts — a reminder to pull over and take a break.

Available Adaptive Cruise Control¹⁰ goes beyond the capability of conventional cruise control, employing both radar and camera technology. It lets you set a cruising speed and distance from the vehicle in front of you, an especially helpful feature in slow traffic conditions. When traffic ahead slows down or comes to a complete stop, you automatically do too; when traffic picks back up, you can resume your preset speed and distance.*

You might not think of manually turning your high beams on or off every time you need to. That’s why the driver-activated standard Auto High-Beam Headlamps¹⁰ system is so helpful — it can do that for you, automatically. When you’re on a dark road with no traffic, the high beams come on. But when a vehicle is approaching with headlamps on or travelling ahead with taillamps visible, the system will dim to low beams to reduce glare.
