2011 Ford Explorer Features Curve Control Saftey Measure.

The 2011 Ford Explorer has several major changes in an attempt by Ford to make the model more profitable and popular as it once was. GM will continue to offer their Chevy Equinox and other SUV models which can be serviced at a Jersey City Chevy Service. The previous year models of the Explorer had a massive negative publicity campaign after the vehicle had several rollovers throughout the country.

Many crossover SUVs have been considered to be safer that traditional models. Volkswagen's Touareg and Mercedes-Benz's GLK are crossover SUV models that can be found at Peoria Volkswagen or Bossier City Mercedes-Benz. However, Ford intends to include several safety features in the 2011 Explorer that will help it compete with crossovers and other more popular SUV models.

The 2011 Ford Explorer will feature "curve control" which works by quickly slowing the vehicle down if it is turned too abruptly. Also, if a driver is going too fast, the brakes will be applied in a manner that reduces speed quickly without causing a loss of control. The feature is mainly designed to prevent accidents in which SUVs enter curves such as on-ramps at too high of a speed with steering that is too sharp. These types of accidents account for a large percentage of SUV accidents.

The new feature will prevent up to 50,000 accidents per year that are the result of drivers taking too sharp of a turn. The feature works by combining driving steering input with the Ford AdvanceTrac sensor data. With this information, Curve Control can predict whether or not a driver is moving too quickly into a turn, and will adjust the speed of the vehicle by braking. The feature is expected to work in every type of condition. Ford intends to bring Curve Control to 90% of its trucks, vans, and SUVs by 2012.
