These days, Ford vehicles are remarkably safe to drive. You might be surprised at how many state-of-the-art car safety features your Ford has. Some of them monitor your surroundings, ready to alert you of danger on the road, while others monitor parts of your car to let you know if you should visit your local Ford dealer to have something checked or repaired. Here are seven of the best safety features in a modern Ford. more 7 Amazing Car Safety Features on Today's Fords Lane-Keeping System In a distracted moment, you might accidentally swerve into another lane without signaling. Your Ford detects this and, because you didn't signal, knows it might be accidental swerving. It warns you by gently vibrating the steering wheel. And it even applies a little steering torque to help you correct and get back into the right lane. Blind Spot Information System One common cause of driving accidents is the blind spots we have to the rear on either side. Using radar, your Ford covers this for you. It detects the presence of vehicles in either of your blind spots. If something's there, it gives you a warning which is usually a visual on the corresponding mirror. Cross-Traffic Alert Backing out of a parking spot is a whole lot easier these days. In a modern Ford, Cross-Traffic Alert lets you know when a vehicle is approaching on either side, even if you can't yet see it. Active Park Assist While not the most dangerous situation, parking in tight spots can lead to costly bumps and scrapes. Active Park Assist helps you out by determining when a parking spot is large enough for your car. It then takes over the steering, parking the car for you. All you need to do is adjust the brake, gears, and throttle. AdvanceTrac Electronic Stability Control One danger with driving is that of losing traction on slippery patches of the road surface. The AdvanceTrac Electronic Stability Control system monitors your road conditions and notices any dangerous changes far more quickly and precisely than a human can. It then adjusts your engine power and brakes to optimize speed for good tire traction on the new road conditions. Tire Pressure Monitoring System Tires should always have just the right amount of inflation. An overinflated tire has reduced traction and is more susceptible to damage from debris on the road. An under-inflated tire will begin to overheat, which can lead to tread separation, premature wear, and potential blowouts. Your Ford's Tire Pressure Monitoring System lets you know if the pressure of any single tire is too much or too little, so you can then adjust the pressure accordingly. Alerts for Your Ford Dealer to Check A modern Ford has hundreds of computer chips monitoring every part of your car. If any sort of problem is detected, it gives you an alert, such as the "check engine" light. When prompted by an alert, you can have a technician at your local dealership identify the underlying problem and fix it long before it develops into something dangerous. This is perhaps the most important way that your Ford keeps you safe on the road. To have an experienced professional demonstrate all the safety features of a Ford in person, visit Jack Madden Ford.
