2018 Ford Edge Driver-Assist Technologies
The 2018 Ford Edge offers many available high-tech driver-assist technologies to maximize safety.
This model features the available Blind Spot Information System (BLIS®) with cross-traffic alert. This system makes for safer lane changes by detecting when a vehicle enters the driver's blind spot. When this happens, it sends an alert via an indicator light on the sideview mirror.
BLIS® is just one of many collision-predictive features available for the 2018 Ford Edge. Others include:
- Adaptive Cruise Control
- Forward Collision Warning with brake support
- A Lane Keeping System
And, when you come to a stop, the 2018 Ford Edge makes backing into a parking spot simple with the available Enhanced Active Park Assist feature. Enhanced Active Park Assist uses ultrasonic sensors to identify a suitable perpendicular or parallel parking space.
Once a spot is identified, all you have to do is shift, accelerate, and brake. The vehicle does the rest to get you safely parked.
These available features, when combined with good judgment, are sure to get you where you're going as safely as possible.
Let's Get Visible: Improved Visibility in the 2018 Ford Edge
The 2018 Ford Edge offers available tools for improved visibility, so even poor driving conditions are a little clearer.
This crossover SUV features an available front 180-degree camera located in the vehicle's grille. This camera encourages better-informed driving by helping you see around corners when navigating tight spaces.
Drivers can also take on inclement weather with available rain-sensing wipers and auto-dimming exterior mirrors. These wipers automatically activate when they detect rain or snow on the windshield and adjust their intensity based on the level of precipitation.
The exterior sideview mirrors feature auto-dimming to reduce headlight glare so that you have a clearer view of the road ahead, whatever the weather or time of day.
Cutting-Edge Infotainment Technologies
Ford aficionados will be happy to hear that the 2018 Edge comes standard with SYNC® infotainment technology.
This system allows drivers to connect their smartphones to their vehicle's entertainment console using Bluetooth®. They can use steering wheel-mounted buttons or voice commands to play music, make calls, and access text messages.
If you're looking for a bit more hands-free tech, upgrade to the available SYNC®3 and take advantage of SYNC® AppLink™. This now comes with Ford+Alexa, with access to Amazon Alexa, so you can stay connected to your smart home devices from your car, within a reasonable range.
You can also use SYNC®3 to access some of your favorite compatible apps like Pandora®, Amazon, Waze, and Google Maps™. It's compatible with the FordPass™ app, as well, so you can find, reserve, and pay for parking, compare fuel prices, and schedule service, all from your smartphone.
