Yes, the Ford Edge does have blind spot monitoring. It is equipped with Ford’s Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) with Cross-Traffic Alert, which uses radar sensors on both sides near the rear of the vehicle to detect vehicles in your blind spot. When a vehicle is detected, you are alerted with an indicator light in the sideview mirror.
The Cross-Traffic Alert feature also uses the same radar sensors to detect traffic behind your vehicle when you’re slowly backing out of a parking spot or driveway. It flashes an indicator light in the sideview mirrors and emits an audible warning when it detects a vehicle approaching from either side. Additionally, a visual display in the message center indicates from which direction the vehicle is coming.
So, the Ford Edge’s blind spot monitoring system provides both visual and audible warnings to help you be more aware of vehicles in your blind spot and traffic approaching from the sides when backing out of parking spots .
