To maintain traction, the Ford Transit Connect has AdvancTrac with RSC technology. The gyroscopic sensors use the vehicle roll motion and rate of turning to make minor adjustments to keep you in control. The side-slip control can help on slippery surfaces.
The Ford Transit Connect comes with HID headlamps. When placed on the Automatic setting, they'll turn on whenever they sense darkness. They will also turn on when you engage your windshield wipers. Their brightness will help you see in the dark and ensure that other cars see you on the road.
