- MyView
Thanks to this functionality, you will be able to customize screens on your intelligent Ford SmartGauge dashboard to, for example, maximize braking energy regeneration on our hybrid models. The EcoGuide, for its part, will provide you with feedback on how energy-efficient your driving is by growing leaves and vines on your display. If, on the contrary, your driving habits show less energy-efficiency, the leaves will disappear. Let's bet that you won't be able to resist getting the most possible amount of leaves on your dashboard!
- 360-Degree Split-View Camera
With the help of 4 cameras, located respectively in the tailgate, in the grille and under each of the sideview mirrors, you will get a top-down view of the area around your vehicle. In addition, even if you are towing a trailer, you will be able to use this function! Come try it at 440 Ford in Laval, close to Blainville and Montreal!
- Parking Assist
This system functions with the help of 12 ultrasonic sensors that measure your distance from parked cars, scanning for suitable parking spaces and then, to top it all, helping you with your parking manoeuvres. All you have to do is shift, accelerate and brake and it takes care of the steering. Your vehicle will thus smoothly parallel park or reverse into a perpendicular spot almost by itself!
- Pre-Collision Assist with Pedestrian Detection
As its name suggests, this system will alert you to pedestrians, cyclists or other vehicles entering your path and if necessary, can even engage the brakes to attenuate the force of an impact. How does it work? It's simple: the camera sensors as well as the radar will detect vehicles travelling in the same direction as yours, whether stopped or moving. It will alert you with a flash on the windshield as well as with an audible warning when it senses a potential collision approaching.
- Adaptive Cruise Control
By maintaining a constant distance with the vehicle in front of you, this system allows you to stay at a safe distance from it. If the radar detects that the traffic ahead is slowing, it will automatically slow down your vehicle, then resume the preset speed when the traffic will clear. Book your test drive at 440 Ford close to the North Shore of Montreal and the West Island to fully appreciate how this system functions!
- Curve Control
This function is designed to help you maintain control of your vehicle if it enters a curve and is travelling too quickly for the road conditions or the curve layout. First, engine torque will be decreased if it detects understeer and senses the vehicle may be losing control, and then it will apply the brakes to help slow you down.
- SYNC and FordPass
Be connected wherever you are! You will hence enjoy a Wi-Fi Hotspot able to connect 10 devices at the same time and this, up to a distance of 15 metres (50 ft) from your vehicle! The FordPass application, for its part, will allow you to keep an eye on your data usage. Drop by the dealership to find out more about the available data packages!
