2019 Ford Escape Safety Spotlight

When you’re purchasing a family vehicle, one of your major priorities is likely to be the available safety technologies it has to offer. Luckily, the 2019 Ford Escape can come with a range of driver-assistance features — from rain-sensing wipers to Adaptive Cruise Control — that will help keep you confident when you’re out on the road.

Drive Safe And Smart

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

Know Your Blind Spots

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.

Always Look Ahead

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.
