What is Ford Co-Pilot360?

Ford Co-Pilot360 is an integrated suite of safety and driver-assist features that work together to help you drive more confidently.  If you’re concerned about avoiding collisions, staying in your lane or managing tricky parking situations, Co-Pilot360 has you covered.  The system is designed to detect potential hazards, warn you of dangers and even intervene when necessary to prevent accidents.

Here’s an overview of some of the features available with Ford Co-Pilot360 technology:

 1. Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking

One of the standout features of Ford Co-Pilot360 is Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking.  This system helps reduce the risk of a frontal collision by monitoring traffic ahead.  If the system detects a potential collision with a vehicle or pedestrian, it alerts the driver and, if needed, applies the brakes automatically.  This crucial safety feature can help prevent or lessen the severity of a crash, particularly in urban settings with stop-and-go traffic.

Imagine you’re driving through the streets of Spokane Valley and a pedestrian unexpectedly steps into the crosswalk.  Pre-Collision Assist can detect the hazard and act before you even have time to react, giving you that extra layer of protection when it matters most.

2. Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) with Cross-Traffic Alert

Changing lanes can be a stressful task, especially on congested highways or in stormy weather.  The Blind Spot Information System with Cross-Traffic Alert is designed to ease that stress.  BLIS uses sensors to detect vehicles in your blind spots, alerting you with a visual warning in the side mirrors.  Cross-Traffic Alert adds another layer of convenience by warning you of oncoming traffic when backing out of a parking space.

If you’re navigating the highway from Post Falls to Spokane, BLIS ensures you can switch lanes with confidence, helping you stay aware of surrounding vehicles, even those outside your line of sight.

3. Lane-Keeping System

Fatigue or distractions can sometimes cause unintentional lane drifting, which is where the Lane-Keeping System comes into play.  This system actively monitors your position on the road.  If it detects that you are drifting out of your lane, it alerts you with vibrations through the steering wheel.  If you continue to drift, the system can provide steering assistance to help guide you back into your lane safely.

For those road trips through the beautiful landscapes of Coeur d’Alene, the Lane-Keeping Systems keeps you on track, making sure that you stay within your lane and reducing the risk of accidents due to driver inattention.

4. Rear View Camera with Enhanced Active Park Assist

Parking in tight spots can be a hassle, especially in crowded downtown Spokane or busy shopping areas.  With the Rear View Camera, you get a clear view of what’s behind you when reversing, helping you avoid obstacles and park with precision.  Ford’s Enhanced Active Park Assist takes it a step further by steering the vehicle into parallel or perpendicular parking spaces with ease.  All you have to do is control the shifting, accelerating and

braking.

For drivers who might frequently find themselves parallel parking in narrow streets, Enhanced Active Parking Assist can be a true game-changer, reducing the stress of parking in difficult spots.

5. Automatic High-Beam Headlamps

Driving at night or in low-visibility conditions is made safer and more convenient with Ford’s Automatic High-Beam Headlamps.  To enhance visibility, these headlamps automatically toggle between high and low beams based on lighting conditions and the presence of other vehicles.  Using forward-facing sensors, the system identifies oncoming traffic or vehicles ahead and dims the high beams to avoid blinding other drivers.  Once activated, the system works intuitively, letting you focus on the road without needing to manually adjust your headlights.

6. Reverse Brake Assist

Parking and reversing just got a lot safer with Ford’s Reverse Brake Assist.  Using rear sensors and cameras, the system scans for stationary objects, pedestrians or vehicles as you reverse.  If an obstacle is detected and the driver doesn’t respond in time, the feature automatically applies the brakes to prevent a collision.  The system is ideal for crowded parking lots in Spokane or when navigating tight spaces.
