Suburban Ford of Waterford

High-tech brainpower keeps Detroit Ford customers safe

The 2011Ford Explorer  has received the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's five-star crash test ratings for five years running.* Our exclusive Intelligent Safety System instantly determines the severity of an impact and responds precisely. And our Safety Canopy® System provides comprehensive air-bag coverage, including outboard-seated passengers in the first and second rows. What's more, the standard SOS Post Crash Alert System** is automatically activated. Best of all, AdvanceTrac® with Roll Stability Control helps ensure that you won't need these features.

• Star ratings are part of the U.S. Department of Transportatio's Safercar.gov program (www.safercar.gov). **SOS hardware may become damaged or the battery may lose power in a crash, which could prevent operation. Not all crashes will activate an airbag or safety belt pretensioner. Remember that even advanced technology cannot overcome the laws of physics. It's always possible to lose control of a vehicle due to inappropriate driver input for the conditions.

The 2011 Ford Explorer  comes with AdvanceTrac® with Roll Stability Control (RSC®)

Not all electronic stability control systems are equal. Explorer comes equipped with standard class-exclusive* AdvanceTrac® with Roll Stability Control (RSC®). It's the only stability control system with gyroscopic sensors measuring both vehicle yaw and roll motion. Corner too quickly or swerve to avoid an object and RSC will selectively apply brake pressure and adjust engine power to help keep you under control.**

• Class is Midsize SUVs. **Remember that even advanced technology cannot overcome the laws of physics. It's always possible to lose control of a vehicle due to inappropriate driver input for the conditions.

Safety Canopy® System is great feature on the 2011 Ford Explorer

Explorer provides state-of-the-art occupant protection. The Safety Canopy® System with side curtain air bags and rollover sensor is standard equipment on all Explorer models, providing protection in both side impact collisions and rollover accidents. Along with adaptive front seat airbags and side airbags for the driver and front passenger, the Safety Canopy® System provides comprehensive airbag coverage.

Electronic Trailer Sway Control provides Detroit Explorer customers the confidence they desire.

Trailer towing goes high-tech with electronic anti-sway control. The standard trailer sway control feature works with the AdvanceTrac® with Roll Stability Control (RSC®) using the sensor that measures yaw motion to determine if the trailer is swaying. If necessary, trailer sway control applies precise braking or adjusted engine torque to help bring both vehicle and trailer under control.*

• Remember that even advanced technology cannot overcome the laws of physics. It is always possible to lose control of a vehicle due to inappropriate driver input for the conditions.

Intelligent Safety System on the 2011 Ford Explorer  is peace of mind.

Intelligent Safety System automatically adapts to your needs. Explorer's standard Intelligent Safety System lives up to its name. The innovative system processes information from a suite of sophisticated sensors and adjusts the performance of Explorer's adaptive load-limiting safety belt retractors, driver- and front-passenger air bags, and adaptive steering column to enhance protection in the event of certain frontal collisions.

Five-Star Crash Rating makes the 2011 Ford Explorer  an industry best.

Explorer has earned the highest NHTSA crash testing rating. Explorer has received the NHTSA five-star crash test rating* for all four crash seating positions (driver and right front passenger for frontal crash, and front and rear seating positions for side-impact). Explorer helps protect you with its standard Intelligent Safety System, standard front-seat side air bags and Safety Canopy® System.
