2012 Ford Explorer - Redefining What it Means to Be
an SUV
Key Features:
- Dread the thought of having to parallel park your vehicle on Main
Street? Fear no more. Your Explorer is equipped with Active Park Assist.
Simply push a button and activate your turn signal; Active Park Assist
searches for available parking spaces. Once a spot is located, your
Explorer parallel parks with just a few simple steps on your part.
- Ford offers cutting-edge technology in the available BLIS (Blind Spot
Information System) with Cross Traffic Alert to help make driving more
convenient. BLIS is designed to use radar in the rear quarter panels
to identify if a vehicle has entered the defined blind spot zone and
the system can alert you with a warning light in the appropriate side
view mirror. Cross Traffic Alert is designed to use radar to watch for
traffic behind you when you're slowly backing out of a parking spot
or your driveway. If it detects vehicles approaching from up to 15 yards
away it sends an audible warning, a visual display in the corresponding
mirror and a signal in the message center.
- The optional Terrain Management System allows you to easily shift
on the fly into one of four settings to match the terrain you're driving
on:
- Normal - biases torque to the front wheels and sends it to the rear
only as needed
- Mud/Ruts - switches the throttle to a more aggressive mode, limits
upshifting and desensitizes stability control, allowing the tires to
spin as needed
- Sand - the throttle throws maximum torque to the wheels, placing the
transmission in lower gears for as long as possible, which allows the
wheels to spin aggressively
- Grass/Gravel/Snow - places the throttle in a setting to minimize wheel
slip.
- The available rear view camera provides a video image of the area
behind your vehicle on the available MyFord Touch eight-inch center
screen if equipped. It Includes guides that let you align your vehicle
with a trailer you want to tow. This can help when hooking up a trailer.
- The available Collision Warning with Brake Support utilizes a sensor
that scans ahead and detects slower moving traffic. It flashes a warning
that appears in your windshield and emits an audible alert if it detects
a collision is imminent and pre-charges the brakes for faster response.
- Available perforated, leather-trimmed, heated and cooled front bucket
seats deliver four-season comfort for you and your passenger. The seats
are included in the available Luxury Seating Package in Limited models
and feature 10-way power with power lumbar and recline. The driver's
side seat has memory feature for two drivers. Also included in the Luxury
Seating Package is the PowerFold™ third-row seat that can fold flat
for convenient storage, simply at the touch of a button.
