Ford Co-Pilot360: A Brisbane Driver's Guide to Ford Safety Technology

Active Park Assist

Attempting to park in a tight space can sometimes lead to dents in your vehicle. Active park assist takes all the stress out of parking by making it as easy as the press of a button. All you need to do is engage this system and it will help you determine if a spot is big enough for your vehicle and will help steer your vehicle into the correct position.

Traffic Sign Recognition

Knowing the rules of the road you're travelling on, as well as upcoming turns and traffic patterns, makes staying safe (as well as avoiding potential fines) that much easier. With traffic sign recognition, you won't be left guessing if you miss a sign driving by. Scanners detect the signs as you drive by and present any information you need to know on your vehicle's display.

Blind Spot Information System

Driving with the Ford Co-Pilot360 system gives you an extra set of eyes to watch your back on your travels. The blind spot information system (or BLIS) monitors traffic in your blind spot, so it can alert you if there are other drivers around when you go to change lanes or back out of a driveway.

Adaptive Cruise Control

Managing your cruising speed on the highway so that you keep a safe distance from other drivers on the road is essential for your safety. Adaptive cruise control assists you with that aspect of your safety, adjusting your speed automatically when it detects other vehicles, so you always have time to react if another driver stops short ahead of you.

Lane Keeping Aid

Further assisting you in navigating the highway safely is the lane keeping aid feature. Should you accidentally drift out of your intended lane, this system issues a gentle warning vibration to refocus your attention. It can also apply assistive steering torque if necessary to give you a nudge in the right direction.

Autonomous Emergency Braking

Acting as a last line of defence between you and an accident, autonomous emergency braking can reduce the impact of a collision or, in some scenarios, prevent one altogether. The advanced collision avoidance technology you'll find in the latest Ford vehicles includes pedestrian detection, helping to keep the people around you just as safe as you and your passengers.

These are only some of the ways that Ford designs their vehicles to be as safe as possible.

Their expert advice will help you find a vehicle that will give you years of safe, quality performance.
