DRIVING EXPERIENCE

FORD GALAXY FEATURES

Although it’s a seven-seater Multi-Purpose Vehicle (MPV), the Ford Galaxy isn’t just about passenger comfort. It’s also packed with advanced driver assistance technology. From Adaptive Cruise Control, to Active Park Assist and Blind Spot Information System (available as part of optional Driver Assist Pack) to Lane Keeping Aid which is standard on Titanium. These are just a sample of the Galaxy's array of sophisticated technologies, there to make your driving experience not only safer, but also a pleasure.

MAKE LIGHT WORK OF HEAVY TRAFFIC

Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go lets you set both your cruising speed, and distance from the vehicle in front. If it detects traffic is slowing, the system will maintain your pre-set distance if conditions don’t allow for your preferred cruising speed. It can even bring you to a complete stop in heavy traffic. Once the road in front is clear, the system automatically accelerates back up to your chosen speed – making it ideal for negotiating the crowded stop-start driving of urban environments.

SEES WHAT'S COMING, FROM EITHER SIDE

A small panoramic camera on the front of the Galaxy relays a split-screen image to your SYNC 3 display so   you can see vehicles, cyclists or pedestrians coming from either side. This front wide-view camera is invaluable if you’re edging out of a narrow parking space, or in a busy road where your view is obstructed.

KEEPING YOU INSIDE THE SPEED LIMIT

Whether the signs are at the side of the road or above it, permanent or temporary, Traffic Sign Recognition can identify them. Icons for speed limits and no-overtaking signs are displayed on the instrument cluster, alerting you to changing restrictions. And Intelligent Speed Assist works with Traffic Sign Recognition to enhance your speed control, enabling you to concentrate on the road. When activated, the system can identify the local speed limit and then automatically adjust your maximum speed accordingly.

CONFIDENCE IN CHANGEABLE CONDITIONS

An Intelligent AWD system can determine how much grip, cornering balance and responsiveness is required in wet, dry or icy conditions and on varying terrain. The technology is able to send drive to the front or rear axle depending on requirements. And this ‘torque on demand’ system delivers exceptional handling and improved efficiency.

PARKING MADE EVEN EASIER

Active Park Assist can steer you into parking spaces just 20% longer than your vehicle. Simply push a button and the sensors of this innovative system locate a suitable space as you drive past. Then it automatically steers you in, while all you do is operate the accelerator, gears and brake (following on-screen instructions and audible signals).

EXTRA CONTROL DURING HILL STARTS

Hill Start Assist temporarily stops you rolling backwards or forwards when making a hill start. The system works by maintaining pressure to the braking system for an extra 2-3 seconds, giving you more time and control as you move your foot from brake pedal to accelerator. It’s also useful when you’re stopping and starting on slippery surfaces.

AN ADVANCED AIRBAG SYSTEM

A driver’s airbag is optimised for chest protection and a knee airbag can help protect lower limbs. Front seat side pelvic and thorax airbags are shaped to provide a more effective safeguard and curtain airbags are designed to provide additional shielding for all three rows of seats. New side pelvic and thorax airbags are available for the outermost seats in the second row, too. Seat belt pre-tensioners and load limiters fitted to these seats also help protect occupants in the event of a frontal impact, slowing them down more efficiently. Plus, with seat belt minders fitted as standard, you’ll always know when everyone has securely fastened their seat belts.
