The 2020 Edge offers a suite of standard and available driver-assist technologies with sensors and cameras that make you aware of other vehicles and objects all around you. For instance, available Enhanced Active Park Assist uses ultrasonic sensors on the front and rear of the vehicle to help you guide your Edge into a suitable parallel or perpendicular parking space.

It’s that very kind of technological assistance available in the 2020 Ford Edge that can take the stress out of your daily driving while keeping you, your passengers and the drivers around you, safe from human error during a busy day. Here are a few more examples of the systems that can automatically make your day more calm and comfortable when behind the wheel of an Edge:

Rear View Camera with Washer
When your vehicle is in reverse, the standard Rear View Camera with Washer shows you a video image of the area behind you on the centre console screen. The screen has guides and a zoom feature that can help you align the vehicle with a trailer when you want to tow.

Evasive Steering Assist

Available Evasive Steering Assist can help you avoid a collision when a slower or stopped vehicle is detected ahead by providing steering support if the collision cannot be avoided by braking alone.

Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking

This feature can detect a potential collision with pedestrians and vehicles in front of your vehicle. It is designed to help reduce the severity of and, in some cases, eliminate frontal collisions altogether. If the system’s sensors detect a potential collision with a car or pedestrian in front of your vehicle, a warning flashes on the windshield and an alert sounds. If the driver’s response is not sufficient, the system may automatically apply the brakes to help prevent or potentially reduce the severity of a frontal collision.

Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go and Lane Centering

This driver-assist technology can bring your Edge to a complete stop in stopped traffic and resume as traffic begins to move. Lane centring technology can detect the lane markings to help you keep your Edge centred in the lane.

Lane-Keeping System

The standard Lane-Keeping System can help you stay in your lane, even during a moment of distraction. The smart feature scans your vehicle’s position between the line in the road and can alert you if you’re starting to edge out of your lane. Having trouble staying on track? After you’ve drifted a few times, you’ll see a coffee cup icon, letting you know it’s time to take a break.

BLIS (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross-Traffic Alert

Radar technology identifies if a vehicle is detected in your blind spot and alerts you with an indicator light in the appropriate exterior mirror. Cross-Traffic Alert also uses radar to watch for traffic behind your vehicle as you’re slowly backing out of a parking spot or driveway. If cross-traffic sensors detect a vehicle approaching from up to 13.7 metres (15 yards) away, you’ll be audibly and visually alerted.
