Ford Explorer Airbags
Although the Explorer works to help you avoid a collision from happening in the first place, sometimes having a collision with another vehicle is inevitable. Luckily, the Ford Explorer’s various airbags will be able to keep you safe and secure when a crash unfortunately happens. Outfitted with many airbags for both the driver and their passengers, you’ll be sure to feel safe when you’re driving down the highway. The Ford Explorer’s airbags include:
- Front Impact Airbags: The front airbags have been designed to protect the driver and passengers’ heads during a frontal crash.
- Side Impact Airbags: These airbags can protect the torso against a side-impact collision.
- Overhead Airbags: When it comes to side collisions or rollovers, the overhead airbag will further protect the driver or passengers’ heads.
- Knee Airbags: These airbags are able to protect the lower body against any possible collision.
Anti-Lock Brakes and Stability Control
When it comes to preventing any possible collisions, the Ford Explorer also comes outfitted with anti-lock brakes and stability control. The anti-lock brakes or ABS will prevent the Explorer’s brakes from locking up and can improve overall steering capabilities when it comes to braking. This system is perfect if you find yourself in less than desirable climates or terrains or if you’re about to have a collision and can save you in times of an emergency.
Further enhancing the Explorer’s overall safety capabilities, it also comes outfitted with stability control. With stability control, your Explorer will communicate with other key safety systems, including ABS, and can help you further maneuver your vehicle in times of losing traction. This feature can stabilize your Explorer, help you turn, and prevent skids. ABS and stability control combined can help you tremendously when it comes to preventing or lessening collisions.
