Precaution and prevention - you seek always to ensure a safe highway experience. All rules are followed; every measure is taken; and there's no second that isn’t dedicated to smart driving. Despite this, however, there is no guarantee that an accident won’t occur - and that is why Ford has paired the 2020 Transit with the SOS Post-Crash Alert System.
In the event of an incident - when at least one airbag is deployed - the SOS System will automatically engage, helping to alert both passing cars and emergency personnel to the Transit’s location. Hazard lights will activate, flashing in sequence; and the horn will begin to intermittently sound. This will continue until the operator presses the stop button or the vehicle’s battery runs out of power. Through this, hours of visual and audio support can be achieved (which may prove critical if riders find themselves away from the main road).
By integrating the SOS Post-Crash Alert System into the Transit, Ford helps to greatly improve the chance of individuals being found - countering both distance and the dark through its sequences. This pairs perfectly with other advanced features (such as forward-collision warnings, lane-keeping assistance, and a rearview camera) to improve performance while traveling.
