Ford's compact MPV (or as Ford like to call it Multi-Activity Vehicle) the B-MAX has a multitude of technologies to make driving easier and more efficient. For example, Active City Stop* helps prevent collisions in slow-moving traffic, by automatically braking for you, if necessary. With Ford SYNC®* you can control your music and phone with your voice
The B-MAX was the first vehicle in Europe to feature SYNC, Ford's voice-activated in-car connectivity system powered by Microsoft Windows.
This was especially fitting for Ford's compact multi-activity vehicle that heralded the European introduction of SYNC; a voice-activated in-car connectivity system that takes the integration of mobile devices, voice control and convenience to a new level with extensive device compatibility and voice command.
Ford's Emergency Assistance feature alerts local emergency services operators after an accident, in the correct language for the region, and is the most advanced system of its type. It will be available in more than 30 countries across Europe and beyond.
The activation of an airbag or the vehicle's emergency fuel pump shut-off prompts the vehicle to initiate an emergency call, using an introductory message, through the occupant's Bluetooth connected mobile phone.
The message is transmitted in the appropriate local language based on the GPS coordinates of the vehicle. SYNC can also read aloud incoming SMS text messages from compatible mobiles.
It works with a variety of digital music players, including iPod and USB flash drives.
The system automatically updates phonebook entries, while audio files can be browsed by genre, artist, album, song and playlist using simple voice commands.
The USB port also enables the implementation of software upgrades for future enhancements and features.
Developed in association with speech technology specialist Nuance, SYNC will initially support UK English, EU French, EU Spanish, EU Portuguese, German, Italian, Turkish, Dutch and Russian. SYNC and Emergency Assistance are just two highlights of the excellent technology package which is available on the B-MAX.
It includes Ford's Active City Stop system, which is designed to help motorists avoid low-speed collisions with stationary or slower-moving traffic in front, and Hill Start Assist, which helps keep the car from rolling backward after the driver has come to a stop on a slope or hill and Rear View Camera.
