WESTLAND, Mich. – Wouldn’t it be nice if your vehicle were
equipped with the same steering technology available to NASCAR drivers?
Okay,
it’s unlikely we have any used vehicles capable of that performance at our Taylor area used car dealer, but we guarantee sometime in the very near future you'll be able to experience Ford Motor Co.'s adaptive steering technology and keep control of your vehicle.
Ford's adaptive steering system operates different from your typical
fixed-ratio steering system. Instead of directly affecting the direction of
your front wheels when you turn the steering wheel, the new steering system
adapts to your vehicle speed and intervenes to adjust the ratio between
how many times you turn your steering wheel and how your front wheels respond.
With Ford's adaptive steering technology you can keep control of your vehicle regardless of how fast you're going:
- At low speeds the adaptive steering aids you in maneuvering your vehicle by requiring more turns of the steering wheel to change directions, giving you more control in situations such as parking.
- At high speeds the steering system keeps your vehicle agile by requiring less turns of the steering wheel to change directions, giving you more control for driving on highways.
Ford’s adaptive steering technology – developed with TKAG, a
Germany-based automotive supplier – is equipped with a precision-controlled
actuator inside the steering wheel. The actuator is an electric motor and
gearing system that basically gives or takes from your steering inputs.
Other than the actuator, the adaptive steering system sticks to the program and provides all of the features found in traditional steering systems. Expect to see this new steering system soon when it debuts with the 2016 Ford Edge.
