FORD CO-PILOT360™ TECHNOLOGY

PRE-COLLISION ASSIST WITH AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING (AEB)

This Ford Co-Pilot360™ Technology feature can help reduce the severity of, and possibly eliminate, a collision with a vehicle directly in front of you.* The system can detect a potential collision, then emit an audible alert as well as a warning message displayed in the message center. What’s more, Automatic Emergency Braking can pre-charge and increase brake-assist sensitivity to provide full responsiveness when you do brake. If you don’t take corrective action and a collision is imminent, brakes can apply automatically.10
*See your owner's manual for system limitations.

BLIS® WITH CROSS-TRAFFIC ALERT AND TRAILER COVERAGE

It’s rush hour on the interstate. You’re towing a trailer. And you need to change lanes. If this situation sounds daunting, it usually is. But available BLIS® with Cross-Traffic Alert and trailer coverage can help ease lane-change anxiety — even with a trailer in tow. It can alert you not only when a vehicle is spotted in your blind spots but also when one is alongside the trailer.*
*Driver-assist features are supplemental and do not replace the driver’s attention, judgment and need to control the vehicle.

LANE-KEEPING SYSTEM

It happens to the best of drivers. A moment of distraction — and you start drifting. But standard Lane-Keeping System* can assist you with a camera that scans the lane markings ahead10 The system has three modes: Lane-Keeping Alert warns you with steering wheel vibrations that simulate driving over a rumble strip. Lane-Keeping Assist applies steering torque to direct you back to the center of the lane. You can set the system to activate either the Alert or Assist mode, or both. And there’s Driver Alert that sends out warnings in the message center when it detects repeated lane drifts — a reminder to pull over and take a break.
*Lane-Keeping System does not control steering and does not replace safe driving.

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL

Available Adaptive Cruise Control goes beyond the capability of conventional cruise control, employing both radar and camera technology. Adaptive Cruise Control lets you set a cruising speed and distance from the vehicle in front of you, an especially helpful feature in slow traffic conditions.10 When traffic ahead slows down, you automatically do too; when traffic picks back up, you resume your preset speed and distance.*
*If stop is longer than three seconds, driver must intervene and press “RES” button or accelerator pedal to resume system operation.

FORWARD COLLISION WARNING

Forward Collision Warning can alert you if it senses a potential collision with a vehicle in front of you. A display flashes on the windshield, and the system provides an audible warning. If you don’t react in time, the brakes will precharge and increase brake-assist sensitivity to provide full responsiveness when you do brake.10

POST-COLLISION BRAKING

This driver-assist feature can potentially lessen the severity of a secondary collision by automatically applying moderate brake pressure when an initial collision event is detected.10

AUTO HIGH-BEAM HEADLAMPS

You might not think of manually turning your high beams on or off every time you need to. That’s why the driver-activated standard Auto High-Beam Headlamps is so helpful — it can do that for you, automatically.10  When you’re on a dark road with no traffic, the high beams come on. But when a vehicle is approaching with headlamps on or traveling ahead with taillamps visible, the system will dim to low beams to reduce glare.

FRONT AND REAR SPLIT-VIEW CAMERAS

Enjoy another of the many smart technologies engineered to enhance your confidence on the road. At slow speeds and using multiple camera views, including a camera in the rear of the vehicle and the available 180-degree camera tucked into the grille, Transit provides a bird’s eye view so you can see around the entire vehicle.10

    ENHANCED ACTIVE PARK ASSIST

    Never pass up a potential parking space again. Available enhanced active park assist makes it easy to nail an impressive park time after time – even in tight parallel or reverse perpendicular spots. All you have to do is activate, shift, accelerate and brake while your vehicle takes care of the rest. This feature also offers park out assist with side-sensing capability so you can confidently navigate out of a spot when someone’s parked too close to you.10

    FORDPASS CONNECT™

    When your vehicle is equipped with FordPass Connect, you can use the FordPass™ App to access complimentary features like start, stop, lock and unlock your vehicle from just about anywhere.*

    *FordPass Connect (optional on select vehicles), the Ford Pass App and Complimentary Connected Services are required for remote features (see FordPass Terms for details). Connected Service and features depend on compatible AT&T network availability. Evolving technology/cellular networks/vehicle capability may limit functionality and prevent operation of connected features. Connected services excludes WiFi hotspot.
