The 2020 Ford Fusion: Safety Moving Forward

The 2020 Ford Fusion clearly understands priorities. Building on the safety features added in 2019 — as well as the vehicle’s solid crash-test scores from previous years — the 2020 Fusion now offers even more protection. The 2020 model year introduces standard Ford Co-Pilot360^™ — a suite of these five core driver-assist technologies:

• BLIS^® (Blind Spot Information System) With Cross-Traffic Alert
• Lane-Keeping System
• Rearview Camera
• Auto High-Beam Headlamps
• Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking

Combined with the existing features, this sedan offers a full palette of standard safety offerings across all Fusion trims — the S, SE, SEL and Titanium. It also means that every driver — from the teen beginner to the seasoned pro — has constant assurance of multiple protective safeguards at any point in their journey. Explore all the safety features for yourself. Stop into Marlow Ford in Luray, VA to test-drive the new 2020 Ford Fusion today.

Ford Co-Pilot360^™: Driving Intelligence

As with all safety technology in the Fusion, the smart systems in Ford Co-Pilot360^™ are designed to proactively address a wide range of ongoing and ever-present challenges on the road. The headlamps, for example: by automatically reverting to high beams in very dark and isolated areas, they give you maximum visibility when you need it most. When the windshield-mounted camera senses another vehicle’s headlights or taillights in the distance ahead, however, the Fusion’s beams dim to low — thus reducing accident-causing distractions for the other driver as well.

Also assisting with critical visibility is BLIS^® (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross-Traffic Alert. Since a driver’s “blind spots” can be just as hazardous as nighttime driving, BLIS^® radar sensors make you aware of vehicles in those crucial areas. Likewise, the Cross-Traffic Alert warns you of approaching traffic when you’re backing up.

The cameras that play such an integral role in the 2020 Ford Fusion’s other safety features are also used for rear-view purposes and are key to its Lane-Keeping System, as well. They constantly scan the lane markings on a road or highway, and when you begin drifting outside those indicators, the system warns you and physically helps direct you back to your lane.

Likewise, camera technology helps avoid potential collisions — either with another vehicle or with pedestrians — through the Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking system. Using both audible and visual alerts, the feature warns of a possible collision: if the driver’s response is inadequate, Automatic Emergency Braking will apply to the degree necessary to prevent an accident.

Standard Safety Starts with the S

While these features comprise the standard Ford Co-Pilot360^™ core, all trims of the 2020 Ford Fusion — including the entry-level S model — also sport numerous other safety and driver-assistive technologies such as rain-sensing wipers, hill start assist, brake assist and more. And if an accident is inevitable and one or more airbags deploy, the SOS Post-Crash Alert system catches the attention of passersby with flashing lights and intermittently beeping horn to summon help as quickly as possible.
