Especially modern assistance systems to the Middle 2017 launching new Fiesta including technology, which "has never existed in similar form in a high-volume small car in Europe" offer. The wizards are based on twelve ultrasound modules, two cameras and three radar sensors in the maximum expansion stage. Together, they monitor a 360-degree rotation around the Fiesta and scan the next 130 meters from the car at straight ahead.
Pedestrian detection and parking brake Assistant
The sensors provide among other things the input for a collision avoidance system, which prevents head-on with vehicles and pedestrians or weakens. Special feature: The pre-collision assist detects people on or right next to the road, and that (by using the headlights) per camera at night. Also the parking Assistant is unusual. He does not just automatically search a parking lot crosswise or lengthwise to the direction of travel and boost on the steering wheel. In addition to the Steering he assumes also the brake and prevents so Park bump at low speeds.
Traffic sign detection and cross traffic Warner
