Ford Co-Pilot360™ Technology 

In an increasingly crowded and stressful world, we can all use more confidence on the road. Ford offers available features to help keep you confident, from the driveway to the highway.*
*Driver-assist features are supplemental and do not replace the driver’s attention, judgment and need to control the vehicle. Pre-Collision Assist with Pedestrian Detection detects pedestrians, but not in all conditions, and can help avoid or reduce a collision. It does not replace safe driving. See owner’s manual for details and limitations.

Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) 

We should all drive defensively, but sometimes other people’s lack of attention can create a hazard. 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 they’re needed.*

BLIS® 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 spots, while Cross-Traffic Alert can detect traffic behind you when you’re slowly backing out of a parking spot or driveway.* 
*Driver-assist features are supplemental and do not replace the driver’s attention, judgment and need to control the vehicle. 

Available Active Park Assist 2.0 with Reverse Parking Aid and Front Parking Aid 

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. Available Active Park Assist 2.0 also offers Park Out Assist with side-sensing capability so you can confidently navigate out of a parking spot when someone’s parked too close to you.*
*Driver-assist features are supplemental and do not replace the driver’s attention, judgment and need to control the vehicle. 

Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go 

Available Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go sensor detects traffic slowing ahead, it can bring your vehicle to a complete stop, and you can accelerate back up to the preset speed if the vehicle in front moves forward.* 
*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 

Between glancing in the rearview mirror and craning your neck, backing up requires a little multitasking. So we help make it easier. The Rear View Camera may not be an extra set of eyes, but it does provide 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 Reverse with more confidence.*
*Driver-assist features are supplemental and do not replace the driver’s attention, judgment and need to control the vehicle.

Available Evasive Steering Assist 

It happens. Traffic is rolling along smoothly when suddenly there’s a slow or stopped vehicle in your path. This available feature can help make it easier to potentially avoid a collision. It doesn’t steer for you, but it can provide extra steering support if the system’s warning goes off and you need to maneuver around the vehicle ahead.*
*Evasive Steering does not control steering. Driver-assist features are supplemental and do not replace the driver’s attention, judgment and need to control the vehicle. 

Lane-Keeping System (Includes Lane-Keeping Assist, Lane-Keeping Alert and Driver Alert)

It happens. Maybe you’re caught up listening to your favorite podcast or need your morning latte, but you’ve wandered a little too close to the edge of your lane. Luckily, the Lane-Keeping System can help you stay in your lane, even during a moment of distraction. This smart 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. Having trouble staying on track? After you’ve drifted a few times, you’ll see coffee cup icon, letting you know it’s time to take a break.* 
*Lane-Keeping System does not control steering. Driver-assist features are supplemental and do not replace the driver’s attention, judgment and need to control the vehicle. 

Voice-Activated Touchscreen Navigation System with Pinch-to-Zoom Capability, SiriusXM

Whether it means missing a flight or just losing your cool, a wrong turn can put a dent in your day. But like a sherpa for trips large and small, the available Navigation System can help you stay confidently on course. But that’s not all. It can also point you to the nearest gas stations or coffee shops. 

Auto High-Beam Headlamps

We’ve all been there. Heading into a pitch-black stretch of road and having to turn on the high beams – then forgetting to turn them off again as oncoming traffic approaches. Now, unlit roads, dark peripheries and other low-visibility situations don’t have to catch you off guard. 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. So you can keep your focus – and both hands on the wheel.* 
*Driver-assist features are supplemental and do not replace the driver’s attention, judgment and need to control the vehicle.

Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control

Available Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control adds Speed Sign Recognition to go along with features like Stop-and-Go and Lane Centering. Once you’ve activated the feature and set your preferred speed, the system can detect and automatically adjust to speed limit signs along your route.

The Lane Centering feature even scans lane markings to help you keep your vehicle centered between the lines.
