BRIGHTON, Mich. Feb. 24, 2012 - We have all seen the Ford commercials advertising all of
these crazy technological features. If you’re like most you wonder what these
features actually do, if they really work, or if you really need them. We
wanted to clear up any mysteries and show you first hand some of the awesome
features in action right here in Brighton, not in a commercial on a closed
course. To demonstrate these features we took the 2012
Explorer out around busy downtown Brighton.

| MyFord Touch With SYNC is an excellent co-pilot |
Every great journey starts at the beginning, and in this
case, with the push start feature. Apply pressure to the brake and press the
ignition button and just like that, your Ford fires right up. AV plugins and
USB plugins allow you to connect media devices to your Ford so you can take
your entertainment on the road with you to play through your MyFord Touch with SYNC.
MyFord Touch and SYNC do much more than keep you entertained, it’s a virtual
co-pilot that will help you navigate, make and take phone calls, and even can
give you a vehicle health report for your Ford.
Taking your Ford on an adventure has never been easier with
the Terrain Management System. Turn the dial to match the road conditions and you’ll
have much better traction control for your off road expeditions and drives on
the snowy and muddy Livingston County back roads. With full rear climate control,
including head and feet directional settings and 110-volt outlet your back seat
passengers can plug in portable DVD players, phone and game chargers, and much
more so they can stay entertained while you stay focused on the road.
We have demonstrated these amazing features for you here in this video:
Another fantastic feature available on many Fords is the rear
view camera, which displays what’s behind you on the MyFord Touch display. The
guidelines show you an outline of that’s in between your tires, your distance
away from objects, and a directional guideline that shows you exactly where
your heading. The rear view camera preludes possibly the best feature on many
new Fords, the Active Park Assist.

| Just press the button and your Ford will parallel park itself, its that easy! |
The Active Park Assist feature takes control and flawlessly
parallel parks your Ford for you, perfect for parallel parking on the busy
streets of downtown Brighton when you are going out to eat at Lou and Carl’s or Bagger
Dave’s or to shop at Impulse. Here’s
how it works: You press the Park Assist Button to engage the Park Assist mode.
Your Ford then scans the right side of the road for a break between cars to
locate a fitting parking spot. Once you’re asked to stop and put it in reverse
and your Ford will take it from there, keep in mind you still control the speed
and the shifting. Don’t be afraid, take your hands off the wheel (keep a foot
on the brake) and watch in astonishment as your Ford seamlessly maneuvers the
parking task many drivers fear more than anything. Park Assist is available on
the 2012 and 2013 Explorer, 2012
Escape, 2012
Flex, and 2012
Focus.
Come into Brighton Ford for a test drive and experience these
amazing features for yourself.
