Ford Co-Pilot360™ Technology

Ford Co-Pilot360™ is an advanced suite of standard driver-assist technologies that includes BLIS® with Cross Traffic Alert, Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, Auto High-Beam Headlamps, Lane-Keeping System and Rear View Camera. Ford Escape also makes additional technology available that is designed to help keep you in command, from the driveway to the highway.10

Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking

If the system’s sensors detect a potential collision with a car or pedestrian in front of you, a warning flashes and an audible alert sounds.* Also, the brakes will precharge and increase brake-assist sensitivity to provide full responsiveness when you do brake. If you do not take corrective action and a collision is imminent, the brakes can automatically apply.

*Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking can detect pedestrians, but not in all conditions, and does not replace safe driving. See owner’s manual for system limitations.

BLIS® with Cross-Traffic Alert

This feature helps increase your awareness where you need it most. BLIS (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross-Traffic Alert uses radar to identify if a vehicle is detected in your blind spot and alerts you with an indicator light in the appropriate exterior mirror. Cross-Traffic Alert also uses radar to watch for traffic behind you as you’re slowly backing out of a parking spot or driveway. If cross-traffic sensors detect a vehicle approaching, you will be audibly and visually alerted.

Available Active Park Assist 2.0

Parking made easy — even in tight parallel or reverse perpendicular spots. When engaged, it can help locate a potential spot. Then all you have to do is brake to a complete stop, shift into Neutral and hold down the Active Park Assist button — your vehicle does the rest.10

Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go

This available feature slows down your vehicle if the traffic ahead has stopped or slowed. Available Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go technology can bring your vehicle to a complete stop in stopped traffic and resume as traffic begins to move.10 *
*If the vehicle is stopped for more than three seconds, driver must intervene and press “RES” button or accelerator pedal to resume system operation.

Rear View Camera

The Rear View Camera provides a great view of what’s behind your vehicle. Just make sure to keep the camera lens free of debris (like snow or dust) and you can navigate your vehicle in Reverse with confidence.10

Evasive Steering Assist

This available feature can help make it easier to avoid a potential collision. It doesn’t steer for you, but it can provide extra steering support if the system warning goes off and you need to maneuver around the vehicle ahead.10 *
*Evasive Steering does not control steering.

Lane-Keeping System

The Lane-Keeping System can help you stay in your lane, even during a moment of distraction. This feature scans your vehicle’s position between the lines in the road ahead and can alert you if you’re starting to edge out of your lane.10 *
*Lane Keeping System does not control steering.

Voice-Activated Navigation System

This available feature with SYNC® 327  adds pinch-to-zoom capability that can help you stay confidently on course.

Auto High-Beam Headlamps

Auto High-Beam Headlamps can sense poor lighting conditions and switch on to light your path ahead. They can even sense oncoming headlights and dim automatically, so you don’t have to worry about blinding other drivers.10
