Keeping the driver aware

Fusion Energi is available with a full suite of advanced driver assistance technologies that help the driver be more aware of his or her surroundings by providing alerts to potential hazards and active assistance to help avoid accidents.

An array of radar, ultrasonic, optical and motion sensors around the car keep the driver informed by looking into the spaces he or she can’t see.

Available driver assist technologies include Lane-Keeping System, Driver Alert System, Blind Spot Information System (BLIS ^®), active park assist, cross-traffic alert, adaptive cruise control, collision warning and a rear view camera.

“These new sensing technologies help extend the driver’s own senses, providing a level of assistance never before available to the family sedan buyer,” said John Jraiche, Ford Fusion chief engineer. “The all-new Fusion makes these advanced technologies more affordable and available than ever before.”

“We see the driver as always being at the center of control of the vehicle,” added Mascarenas. “With improvements in sensing and control technologies, we now provide unprecedented levels of assistance to our Fusion customers.”

While understanding it is critical drivers retain full control of their vehicle at all times, Ford engineers recognize there will always be situations where they can use some help, so they’ve developed these driver assistance technologies to help mitigate the risks. Until now, it’s only been possible to get many of these features in luxury cars costing $100,000 or more.
