What is Ford Co-Pilot360™?

Ford Co-Pilot360™ is a set of smart driver-assist features that help keep you and your passengers safe on Greater Toronto Area roads. The system works like your own co-pilot, giving you tools such as Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking and BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross-Traffic Alert.

Ford began adding this technology to many Canadian models in 2019.

Our Erinwood Ford team knows these advanced safety systems can reduce accidents by up to 30% thanks to forward collision warning. The automatic emergency braking feature alone may lower crash rates by up to 50%.

This technology helps GTA drivers avoid distracted driving risks and drive with more confidence each day.

“We see Ford Co-Pilot360™ give our Mississauga customers extra peace of mind on highways, busy city streets, and everywhere in between.”

Key Features of Ford Co-Pilot360™

At Erinwood Ford, our team knows advanced driver assistance makes city and highway travel safer across the GTA. With radar sensors, smart cameras, adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go, and lane centring, you get an extra set of eyes on busy Toronto roads.

Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking

Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking scans the road ahead. Radar and cameras detect other vehicles and people crossing in front of you. If a possible crash is detected, alerts flash on your dashboard and warning sounds play inside your Ford.

If you do not react quickly, this system can apply the brakes for you. This feature comes standard with every new Ford Co-Pilot360™ package at Erinwood Ford.

Our team has seen how Pre-Collision Assist helps lower accident rates on busy GTA highways like Highway 401 or the QEW. It works well during fast commutes or sudden stops in Mississauga rush hour traffic.

Your Ford uses real-time data from sensors to help protect both drivers and passengers, building confidence every time you get behind the wheel.

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

BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross-Traffic Alert uses radar sensors to watch areas you cannot see with your side view mirrors. This Ford advanced safety system warns you when another car enters your blind spots, whether on the highway or in city traffic around Toronto and Mississauga.

The same sensors spot vehicles crossing behind you while reversing out of a parking spot. A light flashes in your side mirror when it detects danger.

Cross-Traffic Alert keeps drivers safe by warning about cars coming from either direction as you back up, which helps prevent accidents before they happen. “You can feel more confident merging or leaving busy lots because BLIS® is always looking where you can’t,” says our Erinwood Ford team.

GTA shoppers will notice this feature on top models like the Ford F-150, Escape, Explorer, and Bronco Sport; it’s designed for both passenger safety and driver peace of mind.

Lane-Keeping System

After your Ford helps watch your blind spot with Cross-Traffic Alert, it also looks out for how you steer. The Lane-Keeping System uses a camera to scan road markings. This system can sense if you drift from your lane on busy GTA highways or quiet city streets.

Ford’s technology gently steers you back if the vehicle detects unintentional lane changes. You will feel a quick vibration in the steering wheel as a warning. Our team at Erinwood Ford sees this feature as helping prevent accidents before they happen.

It is standard across most new Canadian Ford models like the Escape, Explorer, and F-150 trucks. Safer driving comes built-in with every drive around Toronto and Mississauga when you trust our advanced safety systems at Erinwood Ford.

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

Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go helps you keep a set speed and distance from the vehicle in front of you. Your Ford will slow down or speed up based on traffic flow, which is great for busy GTA highways.

If vehicles stop ahead, your SUV or truck can come to a complete halt and start moving again when traffic clears.

Lane Centring uses cameras to track road markings. This feature keeps your Ford centred in its lane, even during heavy Toronto traffic or longer drives outside Mississauga. Our team at Erinwood Ford has seen how these Ford safety features help reduce driver stress and support safer trips across Ontario roads.

Every time you use adaptive cruise control with stop & go, advanced sensors make tiny steering adjustments for smooth highway travel.

360-Degree Camera System

The 360-degree Camera System lets you see every angle around your Ford vehicle. Cameras on the front, back, and sides send live images to a split-view display in the cabin. At speeds under 10 km/h, this system shows a top-down view of your SUV or truck for easy parking or tight maneuvers on busy GTA streets.

The smart technology helps spot objects that might escape standard rearview cameras. You can safely hitch trailers or avoid obstacles when backing out of driveways. The clear split-screen gives total visibility so you park with confidence even in crowded Toronto spots.

Our team at Erinwood Ford trusts this automotive safety tool to boost driver safety across all our new models like Escape, Explorer, F-150, and Mustang Mach-E. This feature comes standard on several trims built for Canadian drivers wanting advanced Ford safety features around Mississauga and the GTA.

Enhanced Features with Ford Co-Pilot360™ Assist+

Ford Co-Pilot360™ Assist+ brings next-level support for drivers across the GTA. Our team at Erinwood Ford believes these advanced driving aids help you handle busy intersections, avoid hazards, and park with confidence.

Intersection Assist

Intersection Assist uses advanced radar and sensors to watch for oncoming cars or pedestrians while you turn at a crossroads. This Ford safety feature helps prevent crashes at busy streets in the GTA by warning you or even applying the brakes if needed.

Crossing an intersection is safer, even with low beams or high-beam headlamps on dark roads.

Pedestrians crossing are easy to miss in city traffic, but this technology keeps a close eye out for them. Our team at Erinwood Ford knows that smarter vehicle safety means more peace of mind for your family on Toronto highways.

We believe safe driving means protecting drivers and everyone sharing the road. Intersection Assist helps make this possible, says Dave Raymond, President of Erinwood Ford.

Evasive Steering Assist

Evasive Steering Assist helps you steer quickly when a crash might happen. This system is part of the Ford Co-Pilot360™ Assist+ package. It detects stopped or slower vehicles ahead using cameras and sensors, then guides your hand to make fast but controlled steering moves.

Evasive Steering Assist works with other Ford safety features, GTA drivers can rely on in busy traffic.

Ford advanced safety systems give you an extra layer of support on highways like the 401 or QEW around Toronto. With this technology, our team at Erinwood Ford makes sure shoppers find smarter options for safer drives throughout Mississauga and beyond.

Get ready to explore another innovative feature: Active Park Assist 2.0.

Active Park Assist 2.0

Active Park Assist 2.0 takes the stress out of parking on busy GTA streets and lots. This Ford advanced safety system helps guide your vehicle into tight spots, even parallel or perpendicular spaces, at the touch of a button.

Our team at Erinwood Ford has seen how drivers gain confidence using this feature. Active Park Assist 2.0 uses sensors and cameras to scan for available spots as you drive.

Once it finds a space that fits, just follow the prompts on the display screen. The system controls steering while you manage shifting, braking, and acceleration with clear directions shown to you.

Many Ford models from 2019 onward include this technology as standard equipment in Canada, like the Explorer or Escape SUVs popular around Toronto and Mississauga highways. Less time spent parking means more time enjoying every ride, equipped with blind spot assist and rear view camera features too.

Let’s look next at how these driver aids increase safety across all types of roadways in our region.

Benefits of Ford Co-Pilot360™ on GTA Highways

Ford Co-Pilot360™ helps you handle Toronto’s busy highways with greater confidence—discover all the ways it can transform your drive today.

Smarter navigation through busy traffic

Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go helps our customers glide through busy GTA highways. It controls the speed and keeps a safe distance from other cars, even in stop-and-go Toronto traffic.

Lane-Keeping System gently steers your Ford back if you drift out of your lane by mistake. BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross-Traffic Alert warns about cars hiding where you cannot see them.

Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking can help avoid accidents, cutting forward collisions by up to 30%.

“Co-Pilot360 technology lets drivers focus more on the road ahead instead of worrying about surprise stops or sudden lane changes,” says Dave Raymond, President at Erinwood Ford.

Our team stands ready to show how these smart features make driving safer and easier for all who tackle Greater Toronto’s toughest roads each day.

Increased safety in high-speed environments

Moving from smarter navigation, Ford Co-Pilot360™ boosts your safety during fast-paced highway drives. Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking scans the road ahead for suddenly stopped vehicles.

It helps you avoid crashes or reduce their impact at higher speeds.

BLIS® with Trailer Coverage keeps an eye on blind spots even when towing a trailer. Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control uses Speed Sign Recognition to match changing speed limits across GTA highways.

Lane-Keeping System and Evasive Steering Assist work together to prevent unplanned lane drifting or quick swerves safely, making each trip on Ontario’s busy roads safer for everyone inside your Ford Explorer, F-150, or Mustang Mach-E.

Stress-free driving in urban and suburban areas

Calm city and suburban driving builds on the safety of high-speed travel. Ford Co-Pilot360™ helps Mississauga drivers relax behind the wheel in traffic, near schools, or through busy intersections.

Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking scans ahead for walkers or sudden stops; it can react faster than most people to avoid a fender bender. BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) checks your blind spots and warns if a car hides beside you, which is essential for merging onto Lakeshore Road or turning off Dixie Road.

Adaptive Cruise Control keeps your speed steady but adjusts right away when traffic slows around Square One Mall or Highway 10. Lane-Keeping System gently steers if you stray from your lane, making daily commuting smoother and less tiring.

The 360-Degree Camera System shows every angle as you park in tight street spots by Port Credit or squeeze into shopping center stalls across Peel Region. Our team at Erinwood Ford loves how these advanced safety systems take some stress out of city life for families and commuters alike, looking at used cars, trucks such as the F-150, hybrid options like Mustang Mach-E, or even tough SUVs like the Bronco Sport.
