With the announcement of Ford’s 2015 Transit Wagon, a 15-passenger van, one large safety

feature stood out: a canopy-style airbag system that drops from the ceiling to protect the

passengers’ heads and neck in the event of a side-impact accident or a rollover. This new level

of protection got us thinking about all the amazing safety features Ford has incorporated into

their vehicles. On the following pages, we have picked the 7 biggest safety features on Ford’s

lineup of cars and trucks.

Let’s start out with the feature that got

us excited. The canopy system, available

on many models, including the 2015

Escape, is a combination of side-curtain

airbags and rollover censors to reduce

injury and passenger ejection.

With the help of censors

and technology, the

Personal Safety System

properly times the

airbag deployment for

optimum protection.

The system sensing the

occupants, seatbelt

usage, and seat position.

This feature detects oversteer, understeer,

wheel slip, and roll motion, as well as helps

you maintain control when on ice, gravel, or

wet roads. It also can predict when a

vehicle is going too fast for a given curve

and will correct by reducing the speed.

Since information is power, the F-150 is available

with a 4-camera system to give you every piece of

information about all four sides of your truck.

Know who, what, and where everything is without

leaving your cab.

Preventing an accident

is just as important as

protecting against them.

The new Edge has a

camera on the front of

the vehicle to catch

when a driver might be

drifting into another

lane and will vibrate the

steering wheel to inform

the driver.

BLIS (Blind Spot Information

System) incorporates two

rear radars to warn you if

another vehicle is entering

your blind spot. The system

works both while you are

driving and backing up. With

this system, changing lanes

on the freeway and backing

out of a parking spot have

become a whole lot safer.

As technology becomes a bigger and bigger part of our

world, it is important to make sure we can use our

technology safely. This feature allows you to access your

phone, music, GPS, and emergency services without

taking your eyes off the road.
