2015 Ford Mondeo front

The all-new Ford Mondeo delivers the worldwide introduction of a fresh pedestrian discovery technology that might help help motorists avoid them completely or reduce the seriousness of injuries.

Pre-Crash Help with Pedestrian Detection attribute is delivered alongside the version's widest ever range of powertrains including the very first Mondeo petrol-electric hybrid vehicle. A fresh 210 PS TDCi diesel engine with twin serial turbocharging is going to be around early next year.

"Attributes like Pre-Crash Help with Pedestrian Discovery add safety and protection for motorists in active urban states."

Discovering pedestrians

Ford's new Pre-Crash Help with Pedestrian Detection can find individuals in or close to the trail ahead, or who might cross the car 's route, in the event the device finds a possible crash it mechanically applies the brakes in the event the motorist will not react to warnings. The system procedures information gathered from a windshield-mounted camera, and radar situated in the fender, and assesses it against a database of "pedestrian contours" to help recognize individuals from typical roadside scenery and things.

A crash becomes at hand, as well as in case a pedestrian is found before the vehicle, the motorist will initially receive a visual and audible warning. If the motorist not react, the system shortens the time needed to use the brakes by lessening the opening between disks and brake pads. The brakes are applied mechanically as well as the vehicle rate is reduced, in case there is no reaction in the motorist.

The system was examined by engineers on closed circuits using rigs fitted with life size dummies. In addition they spent months refining the system on roads all over the world to establish system dependability and testing.

"The real life testing was a significant part the development. Pedestrians come in most sizes and shapes, and embrace an unlimited variety of positions," said Gregor Allexi, active security engineer, Ford of Europe. "Engineers covered more than 500,000 kilometres that contained an exceptionally wide variety of individuals and possible scenarios."

The all-new Mondeo additionally will implement automatic braking prevent or to mitigate a crash using a vehicle forward. City Stop that is busy works at rates as high as 40 km/h (25 mph). At higher rates new Pre-Crash Assistance uses radar and camera technology allowing it mechanically use as much as total braking power to aid the motorist and to scan forward mitigate or prevent various kinds of rear-end collision.

Radar technology further empowers Adaptive Cruise Control technology and the brand new Space Indicator attribute. Space Indicator has an intuitive visual interface to notify the motorist of that time period difference to the car forward. Adaptive Cruise Control mechanically keeps a space that is preferred from the car ahead.

Furthermore , the forward-facing camera supports Lane Keeping Assistance, which applies steering torque to direct the all-new Mondeo back into lane if accidental floating to the lane marking is found; and Traffic Sign Recognition, which supplies the motorist with all the latest detected speed limit, cancellation signals and overtaking constraints through the instrument cluster screen.

Management climate and more with voice orders

The SYNC 2 system provided by Mondeo enables drivers in-car systems using straightforward, natural voice commands as well as a high resolution 8-inch colour touch screen. Connectivity is delivered via USB, Bluetooth and SD card interfaces.

Inputting a navigation address can also be simplified. Instead of reciting the address in stages, users may choose music from an MP3 apparatus that is connected by requesting SYNC 2 to play track or an artist, and can say the entire address at the same time. Cover art can also be shown on screen with players that were compatible.

Clients can put hands-free phone calls using the command "Call ", without first having to provide the command "Telephone", while the machine is in sound, navigation or a different way.

"Motorists will have the ability to command more in-auto systems than in the past, while keeping their eyes traveling as well as their hands on the wheel."

The all-new Mondeo's heat, venting and ac system continues to be fine tuned for more quiet operation. The machine additionally helps optimise interior comfort with adaptive fans that keep a continuous airflow as vehicle rate changes, and automatic climate control in a position to keep in extreme climates. Back cottage occupants gain from committed air-ports.

Self-levelling rear suspension is offered for the station wagon version, managing no matter load and preserving ideal ride height for relaxation.

The quantity of holes -new Mondeo body shell additionally continues to be reduced to minimise sound transfer.

Wind sound is reduced to amounts previously only experienced in the premium section through optimised window column and door mirror shape, enriched window and door seals, and improved interior sound absorption. The depth of the rear window glass is raised by 0.4 millimetres, helping reduce passing traffic sound for back seat passengers.

Further fine tuning of ride comfort and handling is delivered with active systems including Torque Vectoring Management, Pull-Drift Productive Nibble Compensation, Settlement, and Torque Lead Settlement.

The debut of Electrical Power Assisted Steering to Mondeo for the very first time additionally empowers steering system weight to accommodate and fit the "relaxation," "standard" and "sport" chassis settings of Ford's Constant Management Damping. Motorists will find a larger difference involving the chassis features produced by the three settings.

"We have tuned the all-new Mondeo especially to fulfill the requirements of European motorists," said Geert van Noyen, vehicle dynamics supervisor, Ford of Europe.
