NEW Ford Tourneo Connect WAV | C'arete 2

Low, Flat, Level Floor

A sloping floor, sitting too high or far back in the vehicle can not only be isolating, but also an uncomfortable ride for the wheelchair user. The low, level floor of a Brotherwood® conversion offers a stable, comfortable, natural seating position, for better visibility, inclusion and ride quality.

Spacious Headroom

Our lowered floor allows a huge headroom inside the Tourneo Connect. As a result the wheelchair user enjoys excellent visibility out of the large windows and optional Panorama Roof.

Sculptured Seat Profile

Our unique seats enable wheelchair users to travel inclusively next to the rear passengers, making conversation easy and closer to the driver for a smoother ride. The seats are trim matched to the original seats for a flawless factory finish.

STORQ System

STORQ automatically applies extra tension to the wheelchair restraints – ideal for those with limited grip or dexterity who might struggle with traditional buckles. By ensuring the rear restraints are properly tensioned, the wheelchair user enjoys a safer, more stable ride.

Hook-i PAWRS

The Hook-i PAWRS is a remote-controlled, powered front restraint system, to assist loading a wheelchair and passenger. No pushing required, simply attach the restraints and press the remote control for effortless loading of combined wheelchair and passenger weights up to 250kg. Once inside there is no need to attach additional front restraints, making the whole process fast and easy. 

Standard on Titanium.

Counterbalanced Ramp

Our custom-built, lightweight ramp is counterbalanced, so that it can be lifted with minimal effort by foot or hand. The angle is shallow to enable easy loading , while long life fittings ensure minimal maintenance and reliable performance for years to come. Finished with a high-traction surface that makes access easy for manual or power chairs.

Panorama Roof

A one-piece panorama roof floods the interior with natural light, creating an extra feeling of space. The roof’s solar reflect glass shields you from the heat of the sun and a power operated sun blind lets you control exactly of the amount of light you let in.

Standard on Titanium.

Ford SYNC 3

Ford SYNC 3 is an advanced system that enables you to stay connected and control your phone, music and navigation system. Choose either voice commands or the 6” colour touchscreen with pinch-and-swipe gestures for intuitive navigation. Live Traffic can help you avoid the jams. You can even call up a list of local restaurants simply by saying “I’m hungry”. (Optional)

Parking Sensors

Optional Parking distance sensors help you judge the distance between your car and obstacles, both in front and behind you. When the sensors detect an object, they activate an audible warning that intensifies the closer you get to it. (Optional)

Quickclear Windscreen

This feature is designed to get you on the move quickly on frosty mornings. Just touch a button and ultra-thin filaments can superheat to de-ice, de-fog and de-mist your windscreen as well as help de-freeze the wipers. The system works in seconds, even if it’s below zero outside.

Standard on Titanium.

Temperature Control

With Dual-zone Electronic Automatic Temperature Control you can select the temperatures you and your passenger each prefer and the system maintains it with advanced air conditioning. (Option on Zetec)

Heated Driver Seat

A heated seat is available for the driver. And for your comfort, you can choose from three different heat settings to keep you warm on frosty mornings, chilly days, or freezing cold nights.

Intelligent Speed Assist

Intelligent Speed Assist is designed to enhance your speed control, enabling you to concentrate on the road. First, the Traffic Sign Recognition camera automatically detects the current speed limit (when activated), then the system adjusts your maximum speed setting to that limit.

Automatic Headlamps

The new slimmer automatic headlights incorporate powerful HID Xenon lamps and striking LED daytime running lights. An integrated sensor detects failing light at dusk, or when there’s a sudden change in light conditions. This triggers the automatic headlights to turn themselves on, which can make driving both easier and safer. (Optional)

Active Park Assist

Active Park Assist can steer you into parallel or perpendicular parking spaces. Simply push a button and the sensors of this innovative system locate a suitable space as you drive past. Then it automatically steers you in, while all you do is operate the accelerator, gears and brake (following on-screen instructions and audible signals). It will pull out of parallel spaces as well. (Optional)

Traffic Sign Recognition

Whether the signs are at the side of the road or above it, permanent or temporary, Traffic Sign Recognition can identify them. An icon of that speed or a no-overtaking sign appears on the instrument cluster and changes every time it detects you entering a new limit.

Distance Indicator

The instrument cluster features a Distance Indicator. This continuously displays the distance to the vehicle in front and illuminates a traffic light system of coloured icons depending on the proximity settings you’ve chosen. Distance alert can also alert you with a red warning symbol if you get too close to the vehicle in front.

Hill Start Assist

Hill Start Assist temporarily stops you rolling backwards or forwards when making a hill start. The system works by maintaining pressure to the braking system for an extra 2.5 seconds, giving you more time and control as you move your foot from brake pedal to accelerator. It’s also useful when you’re stopping and starting on slippery surfaces.

Pre-Collision Assist

Pre-Collision Assist detects vehicles and pedestrians in the road ahead, or who could cross the vehicle’s path, and warns you of their presence. If you don’t respond, the system automatically applies the brakes. This technology is designed to help reduce the severity of accidents, or help avoid them altogether, and functions at speeds of up to 80km/h (50 mph).

Electronic Stability Control

Electronic Stability Control constantly monitors your vehicle’s progress. It senses when it’s losing grip and automatically applies a braking pulse to individual wheels, helping to stabilise it. Using advanced sensors from the anti-lock braking and Traction Control System it monitors the behaviour of the vehicle.

Passenger Protection

The Tourneo Connect is available with curtain, driver, passenger and side airbags. Advanced sensors are also positioned at key points in the vehicle to ensure a swift and controlled response.

5-Star Safety

As proof of its ability to protect you and your passengers, Tourneo Connect has been awarded a 5-star rating by Euro NCAP.

Emergency Braking

Emergency Brake Assist (EBA) helps your car achieve maximum braking effectiveness in an emergency situation. The system senses how much pressure you’ve applied to the brake yourself and automatically increases it, if necessary.

Tyre Pressure Monitoring

If it detects any of your tyres starting to lose pressure during your journey, the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System warns you by lighting up an icon on the instrument panel.

5 Year Warranty

Peace of mind in protecting your investment. Warranty coverage can be transferred to subsequent owners should the vehicle be sold, ensuring that the strong residual values that Brotherwood vehicles benefit from are maximized.
