PRESS RELEASE
Sime Darby Auto Connexion (SDAC), the sole distributor for Ford in Malaysia, today launched the New Ford Ranger Raptor featuring an added safety pack and additional features.
The New Ford Ranger Raptor remains as Malaysia’s first and only premium performance pickup, is now equipped with additional intelligent advanced driver-assist features including:
- First in-class Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) with Vehicle and Pedestrian Detection designed to detect pedestrians as well as vehicles in front of the truck and alert drivers with an audible warning. If drivers fail to react, the system automatically applies the brakes to help mitigate potential rear-end collisions and road-traffic collisions with pedestrian.
- First in-class Forward Collision Warning, which detects a potential collision triggering an audible warning to drivers. The system also automatically pre charges and increases brake assist sensitivity to provide full responsiveness when drivers apply the brakes.
- First in-class Lane Departure Warning and Assist. The system vibrates the steering wheel to alert drivers when they unintentionally move out of their lane, while Lane Keeping Aid helps steer the vehicle back on track if drivers do not react.
Additional upgrades to the New Ford Ranger Raptor include an additional USB charging port on the rear-view mirror and LED projector headlamps for greater visibility while driving at night.
