At Mission Valley Ford Trucks in San Jose, CA, we prioritize your safety. That’s why every new Ford model comes equipped with Ford Co-Pilot360, a comprehensive suite of advanced driver-assistance features designed to help protect you, your passengers, and other drivers on the road. These cutting-edge systems use sensors, cameras, and radar to detect potential hazards, providing you with the tools to avoid accidents and stay safe. Let’s take a closer look at some of the standout Ford safety features that are included in every new Ford vehicle.
BLIS with Cross-Traffic Alert: Stay Aware of Your Surroundings
BLIS (Blind Spot Information System) is an advanced system that helps you stay aware of vehicles in your blind spots, making lane changes easier and safer. Using sensors located on the sides of your Ford, BLIS continuously monitors the area behind and beside your vehicle. If another vehicle enters your blind spot, you’ll be alerted with an icon on your dashboard and an audible warning.
Additionally, Cross-Traffic Alert enhances your awareness when reversing. Sensors scan the areas to the left and right of your vehicle as you back up. If a vehicle is approaching from either direction, you’ll receive an alert, giving you enough time to stop and avoid a collision.
Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking: Prevent Accidents Before They Happen
Pre-Collision Assist is a critical safety feature that helps you avoid frontal collisions with other vehicles, pedestrians, or even animals. Using a combination of radar and a forward-facing camera, this system constantly scans the road ahead for potential hazards. If it detects an obstacle in your path and a collision is imminent, the system will provide visual and audio warnings to alert you.
If you don’t react in time, Automatic Emergency Braking kicks in, applying the brakes to bring your Ford to a stop and help mitigate or completely avoid a collision. This feature is designed to give you an extra layer of protection, especially in high-stress situations.
Adaptive Cruise Control: Smart Cruise for Stress-Free Driving
Ford’s Adaptive Cruise Control takes traditional cruise control to the next level by adding radar technology to monitor traffic in front of you. While conventional cruise control simply maintains a set speed, Adaptive Cruise Control automatically adjusts your vehicle’s speed to maintain a safe distance from the car ahead.
The Stop-and-Go feature allows your vehicle to come to a complete stop if traffic ahead of you halts and resumes driving once traffic begins moving again—perfect for stop-and-go driving. Lane Centering further enhances your driving experience by using a camera to detect lane markings and alert you if your vehicle drifts from its lane without signaling.
Additionally, Speed Sign Recognition uses a camera to detect road signs indicating speed limits and can adjust your speed to match those limits, ensuring that you stay compliant with speed regulations.
