The Ford Co-Pilot360 systems are a suite of safety technologies designed to keep you and your passengers safe out on the road. While driver’s should always stay alert and aware as they drive, accidents do occur and distractions are out there. These safety features, which are included on most 2020 Ford models, will help you stay alert and limit distractions while you’re driving.
Blind-Spot Information System with Cross-Traffic Alert
Using radar and sensors, your Ford will be able to detect cars approaching in your blind-spot. You’ll be alerted to hidden vehicles by an indicator light built into your side-view mirror. This feature makes changing lanes much easier. The cross-traffic alert will use the same sensors to alert you to cars crossing your path when you’re backing up. With this feature, you won’t have to crane your neck trying to see what’s behind you as you back out of a tight parking space or driveway.
Lane Keeping System
The lane-keep assist feature can detect the lines in the road and will alert you if you start to cross over them without using your turn signal. It uses small vibrations in the seat and steering wheel to help you stay aware, and if you don’t react, the system will use slight steering correction to guide your vehicle back into the right lane. Keep in mind the car doesn’t steer itself, however, it will help to prevent you from drifting off the road or into oncoming traffic.
Pre-Collision Assist With Automatic Emergency Braking
Cameras are used in order for the pre-collision assist system to detect potential hazards on the road ahead of you. It can sense cars and objects, as well as pedestrians in some conditions, to help you avoid an accident. This comes in especially handy on busy city streets. It uses both audio and visual alerts, and if you don’t take action, it can also use the automatic emergency braking system to apply the brakes and help lower the severity of an accident.
Rearview Camera
Having a rearview camera gives you a helpful set of eyes that can assist you when it comes to backing up. When you put your vehicle in reverse, anything that’s behind you is displayed on the infotainment screen, making it easy to avoid hitting objects, people, or anything else that could be lurking behind your car. Make sure you still check your mirrors, as it is always better to be over cautious.
Auto High-Beam Headlamps
For easier nighttime driving, auto high-beam headlamps are invaluable. They can automatically switch between high and low beams when you’re traveling at night. This means no more constant fumbling between the two on dark roads, making those long night drives just a little better.
