Overview
The
2002 Ford Windstar is popular with families who put
safety, comfort and convenience on the top of their
list when buying a new vehicle. Windstar is the only
minivan to achieve the federal government’s highest
crash-test rating, five stars for the driver and front
passenger for seven straight years. Windstar also has
achieved the double five-star rating in the government’s
new side-impact tests when equipped with optional side
air bags.
The
safety story gets better in 2002 when Windstar becomes
the first minivan to offer AdvanceTracÔ interactive
vehicle dynamics. AdvanceTracÔ is a system that actively
improves vehicle stability by sensing when a vehicle
is entering a skidding condition. The system selectively
applies individual brakes and reduces engine power as
necessary to allow the driver to regain control.
The
Windstar is available in four trim levels to meet the
needs of a broad customer base. The volume, LX, model
gets a new look for 2002 with standard fog lamps and
painted body-color front and rear fascias. Other models
include the sporty SE and SEL and the Limited for the
luxury minivan customer. Windstar is also offered as
a panel van for commercial uses.
Comfort
and Convenience
The
optional Family Entertainment System provides video
diversion for rear-seat passengers. The system has a
6.4-inch color monitor that pulls down from the overhead
console, as well as a removable videocassette player.
The ceiling mounting position for the screen makes viewing
easier for third-row occupants.
The
system provides stereo transmission through the vehicle
speakers, supporting personal audio systems. Three 12-volt
power points included in the package are found in the
rear cargo area, front-row cigarette lighter and front-row
passenger area.
Other
elements of the package include two headphones with
8-foot cords, one infrared remote control and side pocket
storage for videotapes. The rear-seat control module
contains audio/visual inputs, volume control, media
selection, seek function and two headphone jacks.
The
Ford Windstar’s available dual power-sliding doors allow
convenient entry and exit from both sides of the vehicle.
Windstar
has 139.4 cubic feet of space on the three-door model
and 136.4 cubic feet of space on the four-door model.
The spacious interior is accented with an available
full overhead console that provides storage space and
includes a tissue holder, garage door opener/holder,
conversation mirror and much more.
An
available second-row bucket seat floor console provides
convenience for passengers. The available roof rack
adds to the cargo-carrying capability.
A
memory package allows up to three drivers to set positions
for the driver’s seat, exterior mirrors and the adjustable
accelerator and brake pedals. The available tilt steering
allows the driver to adjust the steering wheel for comfort.
