Senses what you may not see.
Simplifies lane changes and backing up.
Maintains your cruising distance.
Stop craning your neck trying to see what’s in your blind spots.
BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with cross-traffic alert 1
scans them for you. Just check your sideview mirrors2 before
changing lanes. An amber light means the system senses a vehicle
in your way. It can also sense traffic approaching while you’re slowly
backing out of a parking spot. If it detects a vehicle in your path,
the system sounds a warning, alerts you in the message center,
and flashes a light in your sideview mirror.
Space is a good thing. Especially on the highway. Adaptive cruise
control and collision warning with brake support1 uses radar sensors
to help maintain your choice of 4 preset gaps from the vehicle in front
of you. It also uses those same front sensors to alert you to a potential
collision. If one is detected, it flashes a warning across your windshield
and sounds an alarm, providing extra time for you to apply the brakes.
The system also pre-charges the brakes and increases brake-assist
sensitivity to provide full responsiveness when you brake.

10-way power, heated and cooled front seats2 keep you comfortable. Environmentally friendly, soy-based foam in the seat
cushions and seat backs helps conserve limited resources and reduce CO2 emissions. This sustainable material joins recycled
content, soft-touch surfaces and premium trim – all crafted to world-class standards for fit and finish – in a graceful design
you’ll appreciate in any climate every day of the year.

Ready for 2.5 tons of fun.
That’s an abundant 5,000 lbs. When equipped with the 290-hp 3.5L Ti-VCT V6 and the Class III Trailer Tow Package,1 Explorer is
geared up for adventure. You’ll tow with the utmost confidence thanks to standard trailer sway control (TSC) and hill start assist.
When trailer sway is detected, TSC automatically reduces engine speed and selectively applies the brakes to help you maintain
control of both the vehicle and the trailer.2 Hill start assist is particularly useful on boat launch ramps since it helps prevent you
from rolling downhill when you take your foot off the brake. Whether heading up an incline in Drive or in Reverse, you’re covered.

Increases your grip through the turns.
We all have our challenges. Whether yours include mountain switchbacks or
freeway on-ramps, it can be easy to misjudge a turn. And you need to slow down –
quickly. That’s when you’ll really appreciate Curve Control. As the latest enhancement
to our AdvanceTrac® with RSC® (Roll Stability Control™), it’s standard on every Explorer.
Curve Control actually senses when you’re entering a turn too fast and can apply
4-wheel braking and reduce engine torque to help slow the vehicle by as much as
10 mph in about a second.1 It helps you stay in control on both wet and dry pavement.
Award-winning level of protection.
“Top Safety Pick” – only the best will do.
Explorer is the first and only vehicle in automotive
production with inflatable rear safety belts 2
for the 2nd-row outboard seating positions.
Designed to help reduce the risk of injury in the
event of a frontal or side collision, they deploy in
less than a blink of an eye and distribute pressure
across more of the occupant’s torso than a
traditional belt. They’re also compatible for use
with most child-safety seats. This Ford-exclusive
innovation has earned multiple awards including
the 2011 Traffic Safety Achievement Award from
the New York International Auto Show’s World
Traffic Safety Symposium.
Travel with confidence knowing Explorer has
attained the highest possible rating from the
Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS)
for 2011. In fact, no other brand offers you more
2011 “Top Safety Pick” vehicles than Ford.
Our engineers are constantly developing and
advancing safety technologies to help give you
peace of mind out there on the road.
