Regenerative Braking and Brake Coach

Slamming on your brakes is not only a dangerous practice, but it can also damage the car. To help you avoid this bad habit, Ford has introduced regenerative braking and a brake coach in the 2019 Ford Fusion. These systems are designed to help extend the life of your hybrid car and protect you from any potential injuries caused by slamming on the brakes.

The regenerative braking works by sending up to 94 percent of brake power back to the battery. This way the energy goes throughout the car.  The brake coach works with this system by guiding you through how much energy the vehicle needs. You can check your braking score every time you stop because the coach screen appears on the dashboard. It gives you a visual reminder of how you are doing and whether or not you need to change your habits.

Ford Co-Pilot 360 Navigation

There are many aspects to the Ford Co-Pilot 360 Suite. One of the most important for drivers is the navigation system. It can easily help you find your next turn or help you around a traffic issue. If you need gas or a rest stop, put in your current location and it displays the closest options for you. It can even suggest places that you may not have thought to check out depending on who is in the car.

Ford Co-Pilot 360 Safety Features

The majority of the Co-Pilot 360 suite focuses on safety features. Drivers can relax knowing their car is keeping them safe. The auto high-beam headlights adjust to the darkness around the car to ensure you have enough light for any situation. Another important feature is the blind spot monitoring system. This system alerts you when something is in your blind spot.

Pairing the blind spot system with the lane keep assist feature helps you avoid accidents. The lane keep assist gently guides the car back into the center of your lane if you drift. It works by making minor corrections in the steering. Another accident-avoidance feature is the Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) feature. The AEB system continuously scans the road in front of you. If something is out of the ordinary, the car applies the brakes for you.

The standard rearview camera helps you back in and out of parking areas. You should always check the area around the car, but this gives you an extra set of eyes to alert you if someone or something is behind you. Cruise control is something a lot of drivers take advantage of daily. Ford steps it up with an adaptive cruise control system that adjusts to the pace of traffic.
