Safety is a priority. It’s not, however, always a guarantee - with highway traffic and passing pedestrians refusing to conform to the rules of the road. Trying to adapt to ever-changing conditions can prove challenging for Okanagan drivers.The 2020 F-350 can help.
Bolstered by available Pre-Collision Support, the new F-350 Super Duty proves ready for even the toughest environments. Front-mounted sensors continually scan the road, assessing all conditions (including traffic speed and vehicle trajectories). When they detect a sudden change - such as an abrupt stop or an approaching pedestrian - they will send dual alerts: one to the driver via the central console and another to the braking system as a preemptive warning.
The driver will be told through audio and visual cues to reduce speed. Should he fail to do so in a proper amount of time, however, the ABS system will engage - automatically slowing the F-350 and avoiding a sudden collision. Through this safety is assured, with Pre-Collision Support helping to maintain appropriate distance between obstacles.
