One of the most important car news on family front is this: The second-generation Ford S-Max coming to market later this year.
First generation has kept it going eight years. Now it’s time for a sequel, and it’s clear that Ford is going to lift the new several notches, also on the technology front.
Combines technologies
In recent years we have seen a rapid development, including on security. A number of new technologies have made their debut and also found its way to the more popular models.
Now one begins also to combine several of these – and then the result can be both exciting and appealing .
Ford has just announced that new S-Max will be the first Ford model worldwide that can be delivered with so-called Intelligent Speed limiter (H), a technology that scans traffic and adjusting the speed so that the driver stays within the current speed limit thus avoiding speeding fines and possibly lose your license.
Ford continues designed from the current S-Max, but car has been both slender and more sporty.

Shows the speed limit
S-Max comes with more than 20 new technologies, including glare-free headlights and Ford adaptive control. For the first time S-Max also be available with 4×4.
Intelligent Speed limiter combines the functionality of two Ford technologies: Adjustable speed limiter – which allows the driver to set vehicle maximum speed manually.
Moreover Traffic Detection – which shows the driver the current speed limit. Intelligent Speed limiter uses information from traffic detection system to adjust the speed of the legal level. If your vehicle is equipped with navigation uses Intelligent Speed limiter also map data for improved accuracy in terms of speed limits.

Blender not
– Intelligent Speed limiter is one of the technologies that people will wonder how they managed without – not only because it can help you avoid speeding tickets, but also because the run is far more relaxed, says Geir Haugaard marketing director at Ford Motor Norway.
Blending Free headlights are headlights that not dazzle other road users and ensures optimum illumination. The technology works with Ford Dynamic LED headlamps with Adaptive Forward Lighting, which can set the high beam in seven different angles and brightness depending on speed, daylight, steering angle and distance to other vehicles.
Inside material quality and finish raised several notches from the current model.
Relaxed driving style
Adaptive management should make it easier to maneuver at low speeds and in narrow streets, while providing a more precise and intuitive experience at high speeds. The system continuously adjusts the relationship between steering wheel and gear in the following situations:
• Urban: An electric motor and a gearshift on the steering wheel increases the impact of the driver’s steering wheel use so that fewer turns of the steering wheel is required when parking and in sharp turns, as in T-junction.
• Medium speeds: The system reacts less on steering angle, while there is a sense that enhances precision and driving pleasure.
• Highway Speeds: The system uses the electric motor for a slight reduction of the control sensitivity to achieve a more relaxed driving style
