When it comes to your family, safety is always a high priority. That’s why the new Ford Explorer comes packed with a plethora of advanced driver assistance and safety features that can help you avoid accidents altogether. Tracy Langston Ford is proud of the safety advancements found on the latest Ford Explorer models available at our Springfield dealership, and we’re here to walk you through what’s available so you can find the right SUV for your family.
Forward Collision Sensing
The Forward Collision Sensors on the new Ford Explorer are always scanning the road ahead and checking for vehicles and pedestrians, and they can detect some cyclists and animals in the road as well. You’ll first get an audible warning as well as a visual flash in the instrument cluster when a hazard is detected, warning you to take evasive action. And if you fail you react quickly enough to avoid the accident, automatic emergency braking can step in to slow you down and reduce the severity of the impact. At low enough speeds and in the right conditions it can even help avoid the collision altogether.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert
Being hit by a vehicle traveling at full speed while backing out of a driveway is one of the most dangerous accidents to be involved in, especially as the vehicle being run into. The new Ford Explorer is available with rear cross traffic alert technology that will warn you of approaching vehicles as you back up, allowing you to wait for a safer time to back out. It also works in parking lots and when leaving a parallel parking space!
Adaptive Cruise Control
Dealing with traffic might be frustrating at time, but the Adaptive Cruise Control system will help you manage that frustration safely and easily. Set both your ideal speed and a safe following distance, and the system will decide which one to prioritize based on the speed of traffic ahead. In clear traffic or when the cars ahead of you are traveling faster than your desired speed, it will work like normal cruise control. However, when a slow vehicle enters your path, it will slow you down to help maintain that safe following distance until you change lanes to get around.
