2019 Ford EcoSport Safety Features

AdvanceTrac® with Roll Stability Control improves traction and adds stability when you drive on slippery, dry, or uncertain surfaces that include gravel. Its sensors can monitor stability up to 150 times per second and make corrections to your path by engaging the brakes on one or more wheels. Roll Stability Control prevents rollovers by monitoring the roll angle and rate of the vehicle's body. It can then reduce the throttle and braking wheels as needed to maintain steadiness.

With the Rear-View Camera, you can see what's behind you when backing up. When you park, the Reverse Sensing System relies on ultrasonic sensors to detect potential hazards behind you and sound an increasingly intense series of chimes when you get close to them. The Personal Safety System™ protects you during accidents with dual-stage driver and front passenger airbags. When the Emergency Brake Assist System detects sudden braking, it can deliver just the right amount of power to shorten the braking distance and prevent skidding. With MyKey technology, you can encourage safe driving among your teens by limiting their top speeds and audio volume, and increasing their use of safety restraints.
