Top 6 Safety Features in the 2025 Ford Escape That Keep Chicagoland Drivers Safe
Stay Safe on Chicagoland Roads With the 2025 Ford Escape
When navigating the busy streets of Chicago and the surrounding suburbs, safety is a top priority. The 2025 Ford Escape has advanced driver-assist technologies that provide peace of mind on every drive. Whether you're commuting downtown, traveling on the interstate, or cruising through your neighborhood, these top six safety features help protect you and your passengers.
Blind Spot Information System (BLIS)
Changing lanes in heavy traffic can be stressful, but the 2025 Ford Escape makes it easier with its blind spot information system (BLIS). This feature continuously monitors your blind spots and alerts you if another vehicle is detected. If you attempt to change lanes while another vehicle is in your blind spot, a visual warning appears in the corresponding side mirror, helping you avoid potential collisions.
Pre-Collision Assist With Automatic Emergency Braking
Unexpected hazards can arise at any moment, making pre-collision technology essential. The 2025 Ford Escape comes standard with pre-collision assist with automatic emergency braking, which uses sensors to scan the road ahead for potential obstacles. If a vehicle or pedestrian is detected and a collision is imminent, the system provides an audible and visual warning. If the driver does not react in time, the Escape can automatically apply the brakes to reduce the severity of or even prevent an accident.
Adaptive Cruise Control
Long highway drives and stop-and-go traffic become less stressful with adaptive cruise control. This system maintains a preset speed while also adjusting your distance from the vehicle ahead. If traffic slows down, the Escape will automatically reduce speed to maintain a safe following distance. Once traffic clears, it returns to the set speed. This intelligent feature allows Chicagoland drivers to enjoy a smoother and more comfortable driving experience.
Available Reverse Brake Assist
Backing out of parking spots or driveways can be challenging, especially in busy areas. The available reverse brake assist feature in the 2025 Ford Escape helps prevent rear-end collisions by detecting obstacles behind the vehicle. If an object, pedestrian, or approaching vehicle is detected, the system can automatically apply the brakes to prevent or minimize impact, making parking and reversing safer and easier.
Available Exit Warning
City driving often involves parallel parking and curbside stops, which come with the risk of opening a door into traffic. The available exit warning system helps prevent accidents by alerting passengers if a vehicle, cyclist, or pedestrian is approaching from behind. This feature is especially valuable in bustling Chicago neighborhoods where cyclists and rideshare drivers frequently pass parked cars.
Available 360-Degree Camera System
For a comprehensive view of your surroundings, the available 360-degree camera system provides a bird's-eye view of the Escape. This system uses multiple cameras positioned around the vehicle to create a complete picture of your environment, making parking and maneuvering in tight spaces easier. Whether navigating narrow city streets or backing out of a crowded parking lot, this feature helps drivers stay aware of their surroundings.
