blind spot
At O’Brien Ford of Shelbyville, we’re committed to showing you Ford cars with the latest safety technologies to better protect you and your family. There have been many new safety advancements lately, including visibility features like 360-degree camera views, blind-spot monitoring, and collision mitigation, among many more. Here are some of the features you should look for and which Ford cars have them. Forward Collision Mitigation This new technology is incorporated into several new Ford cars, like the 2019 Ford Fusion. The pre-collision assist and emergency braking system uses a camera to detect potential collisions with other cars or pedestrians and will alert you with a sound and signal. The technology also incorporates automatic emergency braking in the off chance that you don’t respond to the warning in time. These cars use the advanced Ford Co-Pilot 360 system to keep you safe and secure on the road. Blind-Spot Monitoring That same system found in many Ford models also helps with blind-spot monitoring so you can have an extra pair of eyes on what’s going on around you. The 2019 Ford Edge is one of our models at our Shelbyville Ford dealership, so visit us today to start testing out these advanced technologies. Backup Camera Another great new safety feature is a backup camera, which assists you when parallel parking or pulling out of the driveway. The 2019 Ford F-150 has a pro-trailer backup assist that helps you see behind such a large vehicle. This powerful truck also has rear parking sensors that will send out alerts.
