FORD CO-PILOT360™

Ford Co-Pilot360™ features driver-assist technologies that can help you navigate our increasingly crowded roads and highways with greater confidence. Features included are BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross-Traffic Alert and coverage for both the truck and trailer, Lane-Keeping System, Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, Auto High-Beam Headlamps, and Rear View Camera.10  Ford Co-Pilot360 comes standard on Ranger XLT and LARIAT and is optional on Ranger XL.

BLIS® (BLIND SPOT INFORMATION SYSTEM) WITH TRAILER COVERAGE

It’s rush hour on the interstate. You’re towing a boat on a weekend getaway to a remote mountain lake, And you need to change lanes. If this situation sounds daunting, it usually is. But the available BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with class-exclusive* trailer coverage can help ease lane-change anxiety ꟷ It can alert you if a vehicle is detected in your vehicle’s blind spot or even alongside the trailer you’re towing. This feature can help detect and alert you to vehicles in your blind spot . In addition, Cross-Traffic Alert can detect traffic behind you when you’re slowly backing out of a parking spot or driveway.10
*Class is Midsize Pickups based on Ford segmentation.

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.10 *
*Pre-Collision Assist with Pedestrian Detection can detect pedestrians, but not in all conditions and does not replace safe driving. See owner’s manual for system limitations.

LANE-KEEPING SYSTEM

It happens. While en route in your new Ford Ranger to your favorite outdoor getaway, 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.10 *
*Lane-Keeping System does not control steering.

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL

You take off on a weekend for some fun and relaxation in the great outdoors. To help alleviate the stress of all the hours it takes to reach your destination, you can have your new Ranger equipped with available Adaptive Cruise Control. Just set a cruising speed and distance from the vehicle ahead. And as the vehicle ahead of you slows, so do you — automatically. When the vehicle ahead clears, you resume your preset speed and distance.10

REAR-VIEW CAMERA

Between glancing in the rearview mirror and craning your neck, backing up can present a challenge, especially when you’re traveling in unfamiliar territory. 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.10  Just make sure to keep the camera lens free of debris (like snow or dust) and you can navigate Reverse with more confidence.

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.10  They even sense oncoming headlights and dim automatically so you don’t have to worry about blinding other drivers.
