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. 29 44 56 66 yds. Distances shown based on a speed of 60 mph. Limited.

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. XLT. Dark Blue Pearl Metallic. Available equipment. 1 Available feature. 2Remember 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. 2012 EXPLORER ford.com 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. Limited. Red Candy Metallic Tinted Clearcoat.
