THE SAFETY FEATURE ALPHABET FROM

Get to know the safety feature alphabet: Become more familiar with vehicle safety features such as ABS, TC, ESC and RSC, to understand how they can help.

 

Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)

Vehicles equipped with an anti-lock braking system do not require the driver to pump the brakes in slippery conditions when hard braking is required. Apply firm, continuous pressure on the brake pedal and ABS may activate to help you maintain control of the vehicle.

 

Traction Control (TC)

This feature most often engages at low speeds. In the majority of winter driving conditions, it is best to keep the traction control feature ON. However, in extreme conditions - for instance, deep snow or sheer ice - it may be better to turn OFF your traction control to get moving.

 

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

ESC helps prevent your vehicle from skidding out or sliding laterally in slippery conditions.

 

Roll Stability Control (RSC®)

AdvanceTrac® with Roll Stability Control? helps to avoid a rollover in a collision situation.

 

 

 

FORD NEWS:

Mustang enthusiasts, prepare to rejoice -- the Boss is back. In response to ongoing requests from the faithful, Ford is bringing back one of the marque's most revered badges. It's just a couple of digits, but "5.0" means the world to this league of Ford pony car fans.

 

The 5.0-litre V8 was the engine that powered the Mustang to glory in the 1980s. Now it's being revived in the 2011 Mustang GT being introduced this month at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
