Safety
SUV with Smart Pre-emptive Safety
Driver-Assist Technology
Ford CoPilot360™ combines a variety of driving assist features to help keep you in command, from the driveway to the highway... and back.
BLIS® with Cross-Traffic Alert
BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) can help detect and alert you to vehicles in your blind spot, while Cross-Traffic Alert can detect traffic behind you when you’re slowly backing out of a parking spot or driveway.
Auto High-Beam Headlamps
Auto High-Beam Headlamps can sense poor lighting conditions and switch on to light your path ahead and automatically dim when they sense oncoming headlights. So, you can keep your focus — and both hands on the wheel.
Pre-Collision Assist® With Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB)
This feature scans the road ahead and can alert you to potential collisions with vehicles or pedestrians detected in your path. If an impact becomes imminent and you don’t take corrective action, the brakes can apply automatically. But don’t worry – they’ll only activate if needed.
