2021 Edge

Technology

Confidence-Inspiring Technologies

The 2021 Edge offers the most available driver-assist technologies10  in its class,15  to help give you confidence on the road. With sensors and cameras mounted at specific locations on the vehicle, you can be aware of other vehicles and objects that are beside and behind you. For instance, available Enhanced Active Park Assist uses ultrasonic sensors on the front and rear of the vehicle to help you guide your Edge into a suitable parallel or perpendicular parking space.

Ford Co-Pilot360™

Ford Co-Pilot360™ is a suite of five standard driver-assist features. In addition to the four highlighted features, Ford Co-Pilot360 also includes Auto High-Beam Headlamps.

BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross-Traffic Alert

How many times have you tensed up during an attempted lane change on a busy freeway? With BLIS, you won’t have to bother your passenger with, “Can i get over?” This feature 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.10

Lane-Keeping System

It happens to the best of drivers. A moment of distraction — and you start drifting. But there’s the available Lane-Keeping System that can assist you when this occurs,* using a camera that scans lane markings on both sides of your vehicle.10 The system has three modes: Lane-Keeping Aid applies steering torque to direct you back to the center of the lane. Lane-Keeping Alert warns you through steering wheel vibrations that simulate driving over a rumble strip. You can set the system to activate either the Alert or Aid mode, or both. And Driver Alert 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.

Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking

The Pre-Collision Assist feature uses camera technology to detect a potential collision with a vehicle or pedestrian directly in front of yours during day or nighttime driving. * It can help reduce the severity of, and in some cases can eliminate, a frontal collision.10 If a potential collision is detected, an alert sound is emitted and a warning message displays in the message center. If your response is not sufficient, Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) will precharge 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.
*Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) can detect pedestrians, but not in all conditions, and does not replace safe driving. See your owner’s manual for system limitations.

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 Auto High-Beam Headlamps feature is so helpful — it can do that for you, automatically.10 This driver-activated system with windshield-mounted camera scans the road at speeds above 25 miles per hour. When you’re on a very dark road with no traffic, the high beams come on. But when a vehicle with headlamps on is approaching up to 2,000 feet or traveling ahead of you with taillamps visible up to 500 feet, the system will dim to low beams to reduce glare and avoid hindering the other motorist.

Rear View Camera

Backing up is easier when you have camera technology to assist you in seeing what’s behind your vehicle.10 Shift into Reverse to activate the Rear View Camera on your center dash display. You not only get a rear visual when you’re slowly backing up, but guidelines help you navigate. Fixed guidelines direct you when you’re going straight back. Active guidelines show the path you intend to take when you’re backing up on a curve off the straight line. If you’re towing a trailer, a center guideline helps you line it up to your trailer hitch. And there are enhanced park aids indicating which side an object is on and how close it is, as well as colored lines showing how close you are moving to an object behind your vehicle.
