Safety Simplified: What Is Ford Co-Pilot360?
When you shop at Hardy Family Ford in Dallas, GA, we’ll make sure you drive home in a vehicle that will keep you and your loved ones safe. Luckily, it’s almost a guarantee with Ford Co-Pilot360, the most advanced suite of standard driver-assist technologies ever! The suite includes a Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) with Cross-Traffic Alert, Lane Keeping System, Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB), Auto High-Beam Headlamps, and Rear View Camera. Let’s delve deeper into these features, shall we?
BLIS with Cross-Traffic Alert
BLIS alerts you to the things you can’t see, granting you some much needed peace of mind while changing lanes on a crowded highway. And with Cross-Traffic Alert, you can breathe a little easier while backing out of a tight parking spot or a driveway in a busy neighborhood, as the system will detect any traffic in your path.Pre-Collision Assist with AEB
While you can’t fix unsafe motorists’ driving, you can at least keep yourself out of harm’s way with the help of Ford’s Pre-Collision Assist. This feature scans the road ahead and notifies you of any obstacles in your path. But if you don’t have enough time to react, don’t worry—your vehicle will do it for you by automatically applying the brakes.
Ford’s Lane-Keeping System
You’re human—sometimes you get distracted, whether by a conversation, an on-the-go snack, or the radio. However it happens, Ford’s Lane-Keeping System reins you in by scanning your vehicle’s position within the lane and warning you if it senses you’re drifting over the edge. After a few occurrences in a row, though, the system will suggest that you pull over and get some rest, indicated by a coffee cup icon. Just one more way your Ford car, truck, or SUV keeps you safe.
Auto High-Beam Headlamps
Driving on rural Paulding County roads at night can be scary, but not with Ford’s Auto High-Beam Headlamps! The brights turn on when the system senses poor lighting conditions, and they’ll automatically dim in the presence of oncoming headlights so you won’t blind other drivers.Which Ford Vehicles Offer Co-Pilot360?
The beauty of Ford Co-Pilot360 is that it’s available on nearly all new Ford vehicles, and the suite will likely expand its reach over the next few years. As of right now, the EcoSport provides the fewest Ford Co-Pilot360 safety features, lacking Pre-Collision Assist with AEB and Lane-Keeping. On the other end of the spectrum, the Ford Explorer, Transit, and F-Series trucks offer copious safety features—the standard five and then some. Such available features include systems for towing assistance, intelligent adaptive cruise control, and rain-sensing wipers, among several others. Whether you’re in the market for a car, truck, or SUV, Ford has you covered!Shop Vehicles with Ford Co-Pilot360 at Hardy Family Ford in Dallas, GA
