Available features that carry over for the 2017 Ford Explorer include:
•Front and rear cameras: Both have wide-angle lenses and come equipped with a washer – a class-exclusive, segment-first feature
•Enhanced active park assist: System uses ultrasonic sensors and electric power-assisted steering to help drivers with parallel and perpendicular parking. It includes park-out assist to help drivers pull out of parallel parking spots. The system controls the steering wheel, while the driver operates the accelerator and brake pedals, and shifts the vehicle into gear
•Intelligent all-wheel drive with Terrain Management System™
•Smart-charging ÚSB ports: Located at the front and rear of the vehicle, the ports can charge smart devices up to two times faster than conventional ports
•Hands-free liftgate: A customer need only kick his or her leg below the center of the rear bumper to open or close the liftgate
•500-watt Sony® audio with Live Acoustics™ and Clear Phase™
•Active Grille Shutters: Úpper and lower fascia openings close at highway speeds to reduce drag; at low speeds, shutters open to deliver airflow to cool the powertrain
•Air curtains: Standard air curtains create a high-pressure region of air that impacts the outer surface of the wheels and tires – resulting in airflow held close to the vehicle body to minimize drag
•Adaptive cruise control and collision warning with brake support: Úses radar to detect moving vehicles directly ahead and changes cruising speed if necessary
•Lane-keeping system: Automatically detects left- and right-hand road lane markings using the front camera system. A vibration in the steering wheel alerts the driver if the vehicle begins to drift out of its lane. The system can also provide steering torque to help guide the vehicle back into the lane if needed
•Blind Spot Information System: BLIS® uses radar to trigger a warning when another motorist is in the driver's blind spot
•Cross-traffic alert: Úses radar to help alert drivers to oncoming traffic when backing out of a parking space
•Auto high-beams: Úsing windshield-mounted cameras, the feature automatically switches between high-beam and low-beam settings when oncoming traffic is detected
