New Car Safety Features: Ford Co-Pilot360®
Even if your vehicle isn’t brand new, the advanced Ford Co-Pilot360® technology is available on the majority of 2023 and 2024 models, so even if you are shopping for a pre-owned Ford, rest assured, you will have confidence behind the wheel. Not only will these features allow you to feel safer while driving, but you’ll also be saving money in the long run by avoiding accidents and, in turn, lowering your insurance rates. In this blog, we will be taking a closer look at each one of these unique new car safety features and what they have to offer drivers.
BLIS® with Cross-Traffic Alert: BLIS®, or Blind Spot Information System, allows you to see and be alerted of vehicles in your blind spot, ensuring you change lanes safely. When backing out of a driveway or parking spot, Cross-Traffic Alert notifies you if there is a vehicle behind you that you may not be able to see.
Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Braking: Pre-Collision Assist uses intelligent new car safety technology to scan the road ahead and detect and alert you of any vehicles or pedestrians that could cause a potential collision. If you do not brake or take corrective action quickly enough, Automatic Braking will step in and pump the brakes for you if needed.
Lane-Keeping System: If the forward-facing camera in your vehicle senses that you are accidentally drifting out of your lane, the Lane-Keeping System has three unique modes that will get you back in your desired lane safely.
Lane-Keeping Aid: Steering torque is applied to center you back into the lane.
Lane-Keeping Alert: A light vibration is applied on your steering wheel, reminding you to get back into the correct lane. The intensity of the vibration can be adjusted.
Driver Alert: If multiple instances of lane drifting are detected, a warning message will be depicted on your dashboard display, encouraging you to pull over and take a break from driving.
Rear View Camera: Available in all recent Ford models, the Rear View Camera provides a full view of the area you are reversing into, as well as guidelines to help you back out straight or reverse into a parking spot.
Auto High-Beam Headlamps: These headlamps use a technology that has the ability to sense the headlights of oncoming vehicles and will dim your headlights automatically to decrease the chance of blinding the other driver while still giving you the visibility you need.
Ford Co-Pilot 360® Assist+
In addition to the amazing new car safety features mentioned above, Ford also offers an extra layer of protection with the Ford Co-Pilot 360® Assist+, which contains more premium driver-assist features, including:
Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go and Lane Centering: Adaptive Cruise Control takes regular cruise control a step further by allowing you to set a cruising distance and speed from the vehicle in front of you. If that vehicle slows down, yours will, too. This helps reduce fatigue on longer trips, particularly if you are facing heavy traffic.
Evasive Steering Assist: If a vehicle ahead of you suddenly stops or rapidly slows down, Evasive Steering Assist uses the Pre-Collision Assist system and automatically applies Active Braking. Once you have steered your wheel, the system uses steering torque to get you around the vehicle and back in your lane.
Post-Collision Braking: If an initial collision occurs and is detected, this system applies moderate pressure to reduce injuries to your or your passengers and can possibly eliminate the potential of a second crash.
