HOW CAN WE HELP?
From alerting you to potential collision hazards, to clever systems that help you to maintain traction and stability: your safety is our concern. That’s why the Ford Puma comes loaded with clever assistance technologies, all designed to help keep you, your family and other road users protected.
Pre-Collision Assist with Pedestrian Detection uses camera technology to scan the road ahead. If a collision risk with a vehicle, pedestrian or cyclist is detected, it’ll then provide you with a warning. If you don’t respond in time, the system can automatically apply up to full braking force to help reduce the severity of, or even eliminate, some frontal collisions.
Emergency Brake Assist is designed to recognise an emergency braking situation and optimise the pressure within the braking system to provide maximum stopping power.
If the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System detects any of your tyres are starting to lose pressure during your journey, the System warns you by lighting up an icon on the instrument panel. You can also get alerts delivered straight to your phone via the FordPass app, monitoring tyre pressure, washer fluid and lots more.
Electronic Stability Control constantly monitors your vehicle’s progress. Using advanced sensors from the anti-lock braking and Traction Control System, it can detect when a vehicle is losing grip and automatically apply a braking pulse to individual wheels to help stabilise it.
An advanced Traction Control System eliminates excessive wheelspin and gives you the best possible grip, performance and stability, just when you need it most. The system constantly monitors and adjusts the power delivered to the vehicle’s individual wheels ensuring maximum contact and grip when you’re accelerating.
In addition to the driver and passenger front airbags, side airbags provide thorax protection and are designed to direct the occupant away from the impact area. They’re also able to raise the arm of the occupant providing better space between them and the intruding structure. Curtain airbags provide maximum coverage and headrests offer protection from whiplash.
The Puma is designed to help keep young children safe and secure on every journey. It comes with rear ISOFIX child seat attachment points, so you can easily fit two child seats.
A driver and front passenger seatbelt minder warns you if you ever forget to ‘buckle up’.
A Thatcham Category 1 alarm is a sophisticated system that automatically arms itself when you double-lock your Puma. It will sound a powerful alarm if triggered by forced entry, the car being lifted, or if the motion sensors pick up any movement inside. Plus, the technology is designed to help prevent unwanted towing of your Puma. With the FordPass App, you can receive a notification if your car’s alarm is activated, no matter where you are. SecuriAlert will send a notification to your smartphone if it detects unauthorised access attempts – even with a stolen or duplicate key.
