Safety provisions are also built into the app. Using GPS, the app can identify the location of an accident anywhere in Europe and can connect to the emergency services through a dedicated helpline. The app also provides first aid hints and tips.

The service app enables users to:

• Connect to the Ford Assistance Helpline in an emergency, using GPS to provide a location anywhere in Europe.
• Locate the nearest Ford dealer within the UK, providing an address, contact number and option to book a vehicle service.
• Identify international traffic signs and rules when driving abroad, and the function of vehicle warning lamps on the instrument panel. It also includes a Ford Technology guide with videos explaining Ford vehicle technologies.
• Browse Ford's range of vehicle accessories.
• Find out more about Ford's BlueService package, including Motorcraft 4+.
• Create a road trip or holiday checklist of what is required while travelling, including a 'Park Me' feature, which logs the location of where a vehicle is parked, and tracks the time elapsed since a parking ticket was issued.
• Create a 'damage report', which can generate a PDF report at the scene of an accident.
