2019 Ford Escape Safety Spotlight

The Ford Escape comes available with the Ford Safe and Smart™ package, which offers a range of driver-convenience features. This package provides you with innovative technologies that will keep you more aware of your surroundings:
 

• Front rain-sensing wipers

• Auto high-beam headlights

• BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross-Traffic Alert

• Lane-Keeping System

• Adaptive Cruise Control with Forward Collision Warning with Brake Support

• Auto-dimming rearview mirror

As part of the Safe and Smart™ package, the Escape comes with BLIS®, which allows you to know what’s happening in your blind spots. This technology uses radar to:
 

• Identify a vehicle in your blind spot.

• Alert you with an indication light in the exterior mirror that the vehicle is on.

• Watch for traffic behind you as you’re reversing out of parking spots and driveways

• Detects vehicles when you’re reversing from nearly 15 meters away.

Whether you’re on a road trip or driving your daily commute, Adaptive Cruise Control and Forward Collision Warning with Brake Support will work to make your drive easier:
 

• Select the speed and distance you want to keep between you and the car in front of you.

• When traffic slows, your Escape will slow automatically, resuming its original pace when traffic speeds up.

• You’ll be alerted to potential collisions with the vehicle in front of you.

• If this alert doesn’t cause you to apply the brakes, the Escape will pre-charge its brakes and increase sensitivity, allowing the brakes to respond fully when you use them.
