Though social media and the prevalence of technology has proved greatly beneficial for many areas of society, it has also brought about a disturbing increase in distracted driving among many Canadian motorists. To combat this, Ford has joined in with some of its industry brethren to give you a welcome change from the norm – they call it a “Digital Detox,” and it will be available on the all-new Explorer. Join Sherwood Ford today as we show you the features and functions of Mindful Mode in the 2020 Ford Explorer SUV!
To understand Mindful Mode, we should first let you know about the 2020 Explorer’s 12.3-inch Digital Instrument Cluster; this screen, conveniently located in the space behind your Explorer model’s steering wheel, is able to project turn by turn directions, audio streaming interfaces, and more to you beyond simple driving specs and diagnostics.
When Mindful Mode is activated, only the most essential data is shown on your screen – your current speed, the speed limit in your area, and how much gas you have left. All the rest fades into a blue background, intended to give you a subtle sense of serenity and peace away from the barrage of information that we sometimes face.

Of course, we fully expect this technology to only be available on higher Explorer trims, but the extra investment is well worth it to give you a welcome break from too much technology.
