Available BLIS (Blind Spot Information System) with cross-traffic alert helps make driving more convenient. It uses radar to identify if a vehicle is detected in your blind spot and alerts you with an indicator light in the appropriate exterior mirror. Cross-traffic alert also uses radar to watch for traffic behind you as you're slowly backing out of a parking spot or driveway. If cross-traffic sensors detect a vehicle approaching from up to 15 yards away, you will be audibly and visually alerted. Available on XLT and Titanium.
The available rear view camera, included with optional audio systems, provides a video image on the center stack screen of the area behind your vehicle.

Standard in the Transit Connect XLT and Titanium.

EPAS uses an electric motor instead of a hydraulic pump. This results in control that can be precisely programmed to enable technologies that help steering control, such as pull-drift compensation and active nibble control. The EPAS electric motor operates only when steering assistance is required. This is a better way of managing energy than traditional hydraulic systems, which run continuously.
With personalized settings for two keys, this available smart technology lets you limit top speed to 65, 70, 75 or 80 mph as well as select speed alert chimes at 45, 55 or 65 mph.

Trailer sway control helps you tow more confidently by automatically determining from the motion of the vehicle if the trailer is swaying. It then takes measures, such as applying precise braking or reducing engine torque, to help you keep both the vehicle and the trailer under control.

The Safety Canopy System will not interfere with properly installed child-safety seats or booster seats and is designed to stay inflated longer for added protection in a rollover.
