SYNC®
3 brings the power of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to your Ford. Use Siri®
to interact with your iPhone®
or Google™

BLIS®
with Cross-Traffic Alert
The available BLIS with cross-traffic alert* helps make driving more convenient.10
It uses radar to detect a vehicle in your blind spot and can alert you with an indicator light in the appropriate exterior mirror. Cross-traffic alert helps detect traffic approaching from the sides when you’re slowly backing out of parking spots.
*Part of the Ford Safe and Smart™ Package.
Lane-Keeping System
The available Lane-Keeping System10
includes both the lane-keeping alert and the lane-keeping aid.* The system can operate during the day or night. Lane-keeping alert warns you through a series of steering wheel vibrations, which mimic driving over a rumble strip, should the system detect an unintentional lane departure. Lane-keeping aid actively applies steering torque, which alerts you to direct your vehicle back into the target lane should the system detect an unintended lane departure.
Enhanced Active Park Assist
Ultrasonic sensors measure the distance from other vehicles, and once an appropriate spot is identified, you’re signaled to stop and accept the system’s assistance. While you’re driving slowly near parking spots, activate this feature and Edge will scan for available ones. With a few actions on your part – shifting, accelerating and braking – the vehicle can smoothly parallel park or back into a perpendicular parking space.10
Rain-Sensing Wipers and Auto-Dimming Exterior Mirrors
Edge offers smart features that take care of the little things so you can focus on the road. When activated by the driver, the available rain-sensing wipers* turn on when rain or snow is detected on the windshield. You can even select the sensitivity level.** Adding to the convenience factor, exterior mirrors automatically dim in bright light for enhanced visibility.
*Part of the Ford Safe and Smart™ Package.
**Wipers must be turned off before entering a car wash.
Front 180-Degree Camera with Washer
Enjoy another of the many smart technologies engineered to enhance your confidence on the road. At slow speeds and using multiple camera views, Edge helps you see around corners and down alleys, thanks to the available 180-degree camera tucked into the grille.10
