At our Ford dealership, we’re excited to unveil our favorite safety features of the 2025 model year. From the long-revered Co-Pilot360 bundle to newly implemented smart stability programs and groundbreaking technologies like BlueCruise, we believe this is Ford’s strongest year yet for safety.
Your Ford Dealership’s Top 6 Ford Safety Features
1. Active Park Assist
Designed to help drivers navigate tricky parking spots, Active Park Assist uses cameras and radars to detect available spaces and alert the driver. The system then provides step-by-step guidance for parking in the selected spot. The system comes in several versions, including Enhanced Park Assist and Active Park Assist 2.0. The Enhanced version helps with entering and exiting parallel parking spaces, while the 2.0 version automatically controls steering, accelerating, braking, and shifting to park the vehicle itself.
2. Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) With Cross-Traffic Alert
With this system, owners can trust their Ford to help them reverse onto roads or change lanes only when it’s safe. Using radar technology, BLIS automatically activates when your Ford is in reverse or your turn signal is on, alerting you with a flashing warning light if another vehicle is detected in your path.
3. BlueCruise
Our favorite feature on this list, BlueCruise delivers a true hands-free driving experience across more than 130,000 miles of Blue Zone highways. This revolutionary driver-assist program activates with the push of a button on your Ford’s steering wheel, taking over steering, braking, throttle, and following distance without driver input.
4. Collision Warning With Brake Support
This advanced program monitors the space ahead and alerts you if the camera detects a potential collision. The system issues a red flashing icon on your windshield and a warning sound that temporarily mutes other audio from the speakers. Brake Support preps the brakes for maximum stopping power if the driver takes longer to respond.
5. Evasive Steering Assist
If your Ford approaches a slowed or stopped vehicle too quickly to brake safely, Evasive Steering Assist can apply autonomous steering to help you avoid a collision. The intelligent system activates when Pre-Collision Assist detects a potential impact and the driver steers to avoid it. The Assist will even help you reposition the vehicle after you’ve safely passed the obstacle.
6. Speed Sign Recognition
Speed Sign Recognition activates automatically when Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control is turned on. While driving, the system scans the sides of the road for speed limit signs and displays the current limit on your Ford’s instrument cluster. Adaptive Cruise Control will automatically adjust the vehicle’s speed to match.
With features like Intersection Assist and hands-free driving, the 2025 Ford lineup is designed to protect, anticipate, and respond with unbeatable precision. Explore Ford’s latest safety innovations today with us at Auffenberg Ford North in O’Fallon, IL.
