Whether you're in the market for a sporty Mustang, an Edge SUV for your family, or an F-series work truck, your safety getting to and from your destination is paramount. That's why the award-winning Ford safety features continue to evolve into 2024, bringing you the safest models to date with Ford's Co-Pilot 360 Technology.
Pre-Collision Assist
This security function scans the road in front of you and alerts you to potential collisions with vehicles or pedestrians. The brakes can apply automatically if you don't take corrective action when an impact becomes imminent. This feature isn't a replacement for your attention and alertness to your surroundings but supplements your safe driving habits to reduce accidents and injuries with smart technology.
Lane-Keeping System and Adaptive Cruise Control
Good drivers know not to drive if they're feeling sleepy, but fatigue can creep up on you even on shorter drives. If you drift out of your lane, you'll be immediately alerted by steering wheel vibrations, and the Lane-Keeping Aid mode can help you get back to the center by applying steering torque.
When the Driver Alert system detects repeated lane drifts, it'll send warnings to remind you to pull over and take a break. Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go detects slow-downs ahead and automatically slows your vehicle. Your vehicle will resume the set speed when traffic picks up again.
Blind Spot Monitoring
Another modern safety feature we love in the 2024 Ford models is the Blind Spot Information System. This system helps detect and alert you to vehicles in your blind spots. The Cross-Traffic Alert helps to detect traffic behind your vehicle when you're backing out of your driveway or a parking spot, and you can monitor the space behind you with the rearview camera. The camera view includes on-screen active side and center guidelines to further assist you while in reverse.
Auto High-Beam Headlamps
No more straining to see in the dark or blinding other drivers when you forget to dim your high beams. With this new system, a windshield-mounted camera automatically switches on headlamps when it detects poor lighting conditions and dims them when it senses oncoming headlamps or taillamps, then restores to high beam again when the road is clear.
