Being in an accident is not a situation anyone really wants to think about, but it’s almost painful to imagine ourselves or our loved ones having an accident and being unable to call for help. That’s why the brilliant minds at Ford have created Ford 911 Assist, which is able to make the call for help on your behalf, even if you’re unable to do so yourself. The system is available on many Ford models, such as the 2017 Ford Fusion. Take a look at the video below for more information.
Ford’s system is groundbreaking for one reason: it does not need to route its calls through a phone bank before connecting with the appropriate emergency services; rather, the system uses any paired smartphone in the area to place the call directly to authorities, which saves precious seconds when time matters most. Even if you’ve turned off your Bluetooth connectivity or placed the system on “Do Not Disturb” mode, SYNC 911 Assist will override these settings in the event of an emergency to contact help.
Peace of mind isn’t something quantifiable, but you know it when you have it. When you’re riding in a Ford vehicle equipped with SYNC 911 Assist, you have the assurance that if the worst should happen, your vehicle will have you back and place an emergency call for help, even when you can’t. At McLarty Ford, we don’t like to dwell on the negative, but this system from Ford is so important, we felt it was necessary to bring it to your attention. If you’re interested in this potentially life-saving system, come see us in our Texarkana showroom and someone from our sales team will be glad to show you the vehicles on our lot that fit the bill.
