Hill Descent Control™
The Explorer’s available Hill Descent Control™ function serves as cruise control for steep descents. The system continually adjusts braking pressure to prevent slippage and maintain a constant preset speed while you are going down a steep grade. Since you don’t have to worry about gripping the brakes, you can focus more on steering safely downhill.
Blind Spot Information System
Standard on the 2019 Explorer Limited, Sport and Platinum trim levels, the Blind Spot Information System works to alert you of approaching vehicles. Whether you’re cruising down a multi-lane highway or inching out of your parking space in reverse, the system uses radar to detect vehicles hiding in your blind spot and then warns you with a flashing indicator on the corresponding side-view mirror.
