Safety Features: 2022 Ford Explorer
Wednesday, 17 August, 2022
While most people in Yorkville, NY recognize safety as being an important aspect of car ownership, not many recognize just how safety-focused technology has come over the years. One of America’s most iconic SUVs, the 2022 Ford Explorer, is packed full of some incredibly advanced new safety features.
One lifesaving safety feature available to Ford Explorer drivers, Automatic Emergency Braking, acts to detect oncoming frontal impacts and apply the vehicle’s brakes on your behalf in order to prevent a crash. Another, more popular safety feature of the 2022 Ford Explorer here at Steet-Ponte Ford is called Cross-Traffic Alert. While safely reversing out of parking spots, the Cross-Traffic Alert feature will act to alert you through audible and visual cues when other cars are driving past you.
Last, as one of the most convenient highway driving safety features, Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control lets 2022 Ford Explorer drivers follow the car in front of them at a safe distance without the need to constantly accelerate and decelerate.
High-Tech Capabilities of the Ford Maverick
Thursday, 26 May, 2022
The Ford Maverick pickup truck at Steet-Ponte Ford has some very practical and valuable safety features that can help keep drivers safe while driving in Yorkville, NY. Some of the safety features included in the Ford Maverick truck are the rear parking sensors, the rear-view camera, and the adaptive cruise control.
The rear parking sensors can help to ensure that the driver of the Ford Maverick can park safely without having to look behind the vehicle. This allows the driver to stay focused on the road ahead and not have to be looking at where they are going to park the vehicle.
Additionally, the rear-view camera helps the driver see behind the vehicle when they can’t look out of the side window due to traffic or parked cars. This feature enables the driver to monitor what is happening behind the vehicle to see if there are any other vehicles or hazards.Take a Look at Our New Ford Inventory
