a vehicle enters the blind spot zone, an indicator light provides a
warning in the outside mirror corresponding to the side from which the

while you are slowly backing out of a driveway/parking spot and another
vehicle is approaching from either side. BLIS with cross traffic alert

- Get enhanced traction when you need it most. Whether the road is filled
with gravel, covered with ice or soaked by rain, available AWD helps
provide sure-footed traction. Because AWD is fully automatic, it instantly
delivers power to the wheels needing it the most when wheelslip is detected.
AWD is standard on SHO, and optional on SEL and Limited models.
- Technology in Ford Taurus takes a giant step forward with the available
adaptive cruise control and Collision Warning with Brake Support. Adaptive
cruise control functions just like normal cruise control, but with one
exception: When its sensors detect traffic slowing, your vehicle also
slows down. When traffic has cleared, your vehicle resumes the preset
speed. Collision warning with brake support will alert you if it senses
a potential collision with the car in front of you. A "heads-up" display,
which simulates brake lights, flashes on the windshield. If you don't
react in time, the brakes will precharge and increase brake-assist sensitivity
to provide full responsiveness when you brake. Adaptive cruise control
and collision warning with brake support are available on Taurus Limited
and SHO models.
*Not available with SHO Performance Package.
- Starting your Taurus is a breeze, thanks to Intelligent Access with
push-button start. First, make sure the key fob is in your pocket or
somewhere in the car (including the trunk). Next, press the brake pedal
and then the start button. Just shift into gear and go. Intelligent
Access with push-button start is available in Taurus SEL and Limited;
standard in Taurus SHO.
