Here at Courtesy Ford, we understand that modern vehicles can leave some people overwhelmed with all the
new features that can distract a driver such as flashing lights, phones ringing, changing music. A lot of people
are not even aware of all that their car is capable of doing. The Ford Motor Company and their team of world
class engineers have been working on ways to reduce the amount of distractions that drivers have to face in a
creative and unique way. No, they will not be adding additional buttons or anything that will take your eye off
of what you should be doing, driving. A lot of these new features have made the Ford Explorer a truly unique
and fun drive. Here is a quick run down of some of the features available in this great SUV.
1) Electronic Power Steering: Ford has installed new sensors that measure driver input and the exterior
changing road conditions. This allows it to make seamless adjustments to automatically compensate for any
situations like cross winds or crowned roads.
2) Rain Sensing Wipers: Gone are the days when you will have to manually turn on your wipers when the
rain begins pouring. Optical sensors in the wipers of the Ford Escape adjust to the speed of the rain falling,
making sure you always have a clear view of the road in front of you
3) Torque Vectoring Control: any time you turn in the Explorer, the vehicle will apply a small amount of
brake on the inside wheel, allowing you to make the turn in the safest way possible
4) Low Tire Pressure Warning: Tires with low air pressure are a danger to the driver and the passengers.
Under-inflated tires become flatter as the wheels roll. Properly filled tires can save you fuel and money,
minimize your emissions and keep you and your passengers safe. The Explorer will give you a warning before
something happens.
5) Active Park Assist: Parallel Parking is a stuff of nightmares for many drivers, and the active park assist
makes parallel parking stress free. With the simple press of a button, the Escape is able to detect any parallel
parking space and automatically park the car into the space, without the driver having to touch the steering
wheel. All the driver has to control is the accelerator, gearshift and brakes. The active park assist
technology using an ultrasonic sensing system to identify the position, calculates the steering angle and steers

2. the vehicle into the parking spot while simply providing instructions to coach the driver during the entire
manoeuvre.
6) Adaptive Cruise Control: provides everything that a conventional cruise control does but uses advances
sonic technology to scan the environment for slower vehicles ahead and slow the Escape to adapt to the current
traffic conditions.
7) MyKey: MyKey is a great addition for concerned parents everywhere! It allows parents to set limitations
to the car’s features when your child is behind the wheel. It means allowing you to place a limit on speed in the
car, the amount of stereo volume and even require the driver and passenger’s seat belts to be in place before
driving.
8) Voice Commands: With SYNC technology available in the Escape you can use over 10, 000 commands to
adjust all types of settings in the car such as fiddling with the radio.
