The Ford Mustang has a legendary reputation. As the ultimate pony car, Mustangs have always combined high performance, sporty styling, and advanced features ahead of the curve. These advanced features include a range of safety features that surround you and your passengers in a cocoon of safety. Let’s dive into some ways the 2024 Ford Mustang protects you on the road or track.
Multiple Airbags
Airbags are a standard feature on all vehicles, but the 2024 Ford Mustang has a smart deployment system for deploying them. Sensors outside your vehicle can detect a potential collision situation and inform your computer. The computer continually receives information from additional sensors in the four seats that determine if a seat is occupied.
The system uses this information to strategically deploy airbags to protect all occupants. Deployable airbags include front-impact airbags for the driver and front passenger, side-impact airbags for all four seats, and overhead and knee bags to protect the heads and lower extremities. In addition, safety curtain airbags can also be deployed to surround the cabin interior.
Ford Co-Pilot360
This advanced safety suite provides a range of smart protection systems to cover a host of situations. The Lane-Keeping System utilizes cameras and scanners to detect the lane lines on the road. If your 2024 Ford Mustang accidentally strays into another lane, a warning will sound to bring you back on track. Pre-Collision Assist continually scans the road ahead for vehicles or pedestrians. It provides audio and visual warnings of a possible collision and will automatically apply the brakes if necessary.
Evasive Steering Assist alerts you to any vehicle in front of you that’s slowed down or stopped. It doesn’t control your steering, but it provides additional steering support to allow you to evade a potential accident. Additional systems in this suite monitor your vehicle’s blind spots and warn you of anything that enters their field of vision. Co-Pilot360 supplies you with 360 degrees of protection at all times.
Advanced Seatbelt System
Seatbelts are an essential part of driver safety and have greatly reduced driver and passenger injuries since their introduction. As we’ve seen, your seats contain sensors that detect if the seat is occupied. Additional sensors detect if the seatbelts are secured on every seat that’s occupied, and this information appears on your dash.
If a potential collision is detected, the pre-tensioning system is activated. Each seat belt is tensioned to correctly position the driver and passengers to brace for impact. Correct positioning helps reduce the possibility of injury and places you in the best position for airbag deployment.
These are just some of the ways you’re protected when you climb behind the wheel of your new 2024 Ford Mustang. Visit us today at Pohanka Ford of Salisbury in Salisbury, MD, to learn more.
