Stay in Your Lane

Ford’s Lane-Keeping System scans your vehicle’s position between the lines in the road ahead and can alert you if your vehicle wanders a little too close to the edge of your lane. With Evasive Steering Assist, supplemental steering support helps you maneuver around a vehicle ahead. Available on Co-Pilot360 Assist+, the Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go and Lane Centering helps you keep your pace and adjust it for stopped traffic. And Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Brakingcan alert you to potential collisions with vehicles or pedestrians detected in your path and can apply brakes automatically if needed.

Confidence with Blind Spot Monitoring

Whether it’s detecting vehicles in your blind spot on the road or traffic behind you when backing out of a parking space, Blind Spot Info System (BLIS®) with Cross-Traffic Alert can look out for you from many angles. BLIS® with Trailer Coverage can detect when a vehicle is in your blind spot or alongside your trailer and send you an alert. The rear-view cameraprovides a great view of what’s behind your vehicle to help make backing up easier. Plus, auto high-beam headlampscan sense poor lighting conditions and switch on to illuminate your path ahead. It can even sense oncoming lights and dim automatically so you don’t have to worry about blinding other drivers.

Driving Made Safe & Easy

With Enhanced Active Park Assist, you’ll be able to confidently navigate parallel spots, reverse perpendicular positions, and maneuver out of tight spaces when someone’s parked too close to you. While reversing with a trailer can be challenging, Pro Trailer Backup Assist™ makes it easy. Simply turn the knob in the direction you’d like your trailer to go and that’s where it will go.

Hill Descent Control™ helps you maintain a set speed when you’re driving down an incline by automatically applying the brake when needed. And SiriusXM® Traffic and Travel Link®, available only with Ford Co-Pilot360™ Assist+, makes trip planning easier by providing a detailed overview of local traffic data, fuel prices, sports, and even stock information.
