What is Ford CoPilot360™?
Ford Co-Pilot360® is the name of Ford's driver-assistance technology suite, which uses cameras, radar, sensors, and vehicle controls to help drivers recognize hazards and respond to traffic. The exact equipment differs by Ford model, trim, and package. A Ford Explorer or Ford F-150, for example, can include Ford Co-Pilot360® Assist+ or Assist 2.0, with features ranging from BLIS® and Pre-Collision Assist to Adaptive Cruise Control and a 360-Degree Camera.
For drivers around Denison, IA, the Co-Pilot360® name alone doesn't identify every feature installed, so check the window sticker or equipment list when shopping at Team Auto Group to compare.
How does Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking work?
Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking can detect a potential frontal collision involving a vehicle or pedestrian. The system can provide visual and audible warnings and apply braking when needed. It can help reduce the severity of some frontal collisions and, in certain situations, help avoid one.
What does BLIS® help a driver see?
BLIS® stands for Blind Spot Information System. It can alert the driver when another vehicle is detected in a monitored blind spot area. Versions paired with Cross-Traffic Alert can identify approaching traffic while the Ford is backing from a parking space or driveway, which is useful in crowded Sioux City, IA, lots where sight lines disappear quickly.
What does Ford Adaptive Cruise Control do?
Adaptive Cruise Control helps maintain a selected following distance from the vehicle ahead. Depending on the model and equipment, available functions may include Stop-and-Go and Lane Centering. On compatible systems, the vehicle can slow with traffic, stop when necessary, resume speed, and provide steering assistance to help remain centered in the lane.
What does the Lane-Keeping System do?
The Lane-Keeping System monitors road markings and can warn the driver about unintended lane drift. Some versions can provide steering assistance, and Driver Alert can display a coffee-cup icon after repeated lane departures, suggesting that a break may be useful. The driver is always responsible for steering and vehicle control.
How do the Rear View Camera and other driver-assist features help?
A Rear View Camera shows the area behind the vehicle during reversing, helping the driver spot objects, vehicles, and people. Ford may pair camera coverage with Rear Parking Sensors, a 360-degree camera, Reverse Brake Assist, or other equipment, depending on the model. Those additions can help in tight garages, school pickup lines, and busy parking areas around Des Moines, IA.
Which Ford models include Co-Pilot360®?
Ford Co-Pilot360® technology appears across much of the current Ford lineup, including the Ford F-150, Ford Explorer, Ford Bronco Sport, Ford Escape, Ford Maverick, Ford Ranger, Ford Mustang, Ford Mustang Mach-E, and Ford Transit. Package names and included functions vary. Current Ford Explorer models offer Co-Pilot360® Assist+ or Assist 2.0 configurations, while current Ford F-150 trims use Co-Pilot360™ 2.0 or Assist 2.0, depending on trim and equipment.

Ford Safety Technology FAQs
Does Ford Co-Pilot360® make a Ford self-driving?
