Safety Features on the All-New Ford Explorer
Everyone wants to feel safe on the road, and the Ford Explorer offers an array of features that will help. These features utilize cameras and sensors to pick up on danger around you and alert you of their presence. Some of these features can even initiate sequences to help you avoid or hinder a possible collision.
A safety package that encompasses several of these features is the Ford Safe and Smart ™ package. After you experience this package, you'll wonder how you ever drove without them. Check out the details on this safety package below and let us know which one is your favorite!
- Rain-Sensing Wipers: Your windshield wipers automatically turn on when the windshield senses rain, the harder the rain, the faster the wiper speed.
- Auto High-Beam Headlamps: Your high beams will automatically toggle between high and low when it senses another vehicle, providing for added safety and courtesy.
- BLIS ® with Cross-Traffic Alert: This system can alert you when there is someone hiding in your blind spot.
- Lane-Keeping System: This system can analyze your lane position and warn you when you begin to sway from the center of your own lane.
- Adaptive Cruise Control: When you have turned on your cruise control, this feature adjusts the speed to match the flow of traffic if it is going at a slower speed than your preset speed.
- Forward Collision Warning with Brake Support: If the system picks up on a possible forward collision, it will alert you. If it decides that the collision is likely, it can initiate braking sequences to help prevent or mitigate the collision.
There are also other safety features to take advantage of. One of those is the Enhanced Active Park Assist. This feature utilizes 12 ultrasonic sensors to scan an area for suitable parking. It then helps by backing the vehicle into the spot, all you have to do is accelerate and brake.
