When you're making deliveries around BC with the 2021 Ford Transit Connect, it'll be easy to stay in your lane, courtesy of its available systems designed to help. That way, you can focus on the road as this cargo van does the rest.The Lane-Keeping System (available for the XL trim and included as standard on the XLT) uses a camera mounted behind the windshield that scans road markings to determine whether you've strayed out of line. If so, the steering wheel vibrates for a warning to get re-aligned.
Similarly, the Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) with Cross-Traffic Alert employs radar to detect if a vehicle is present where you cannot see and then activates a warning by illuminating an indicator on the relevant side mirror. Plus, this feature does the same while reversing out of parking spots in BC.

Staying safe while out doing business in BC is simple with the 2021 Ford Transit Connect because this cargo van has many protection features on offer. They will help guard you against accidental collisions and more kinds of hazards during every drive.The standard Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking system uses sensors that can detect whether a potential accident is imminent. If so, a warning light will flash, and audible alerts are activated as the wheels prepare by precharging the ABS setup to help bring everything to a halt.
Similarly, the available Adaptive Cruise Control system also uses sensors to monitor traffic in BC constantly. If other vehicles slow down ahead of you, the 2021 Transit Connect does the same, and then when things clear up, the cargo van resumes the previously set speed once again.

Next, you can add automatic headlamps that are able to detect when it's getting dark outside and switch themselves on as required, while available rain-sensing front wipers will do the same in the presence of water.

There's no doubt the 2021 Ford Transit Connect can keep cargo secure during deliveries around BC, but what about you, the driver? Thankfully, this van has that covered, too.First, near the tilting and telescoping steering wheel, you'll notice ergonomic controls and instruments that help fight fatigue, while cruise control assists in maintaining a set speed during drives on the highway. Next, to keep tech devices topped up, there are dual USB charging ports plus a 12V outlet close at hand, too.
Finally, the front centre console includes cupholders—perfect for stashing a coffee thermos on those early mornings—and both an overhead storage shelf plus a glovebox and cargo bin that are ideally sized to hold smaller items. As a result, every supply run in BC will be a bit easier.
