The passenger compartment remained stable in the frontal offset test. Â Dummy readings indicated good protection of the knees and femurs of the driver and passenger. Â Ford showed that a similar level of protection would be provided to occupants of different sizes and to those sat in different positions. Â In the full-width rigid barrier impact, protection of both the driver and rear passenger was good or adequate with the exception of the rear passenger's chest, protection of which was marginal. Â In the side barrier test, the Fiesta provided good protection to all critical body areas and scored full points. Â In the more severe side pole test, protection of the chest was adequate and that of other critical body areas was good. Â Tests on the front seats and head restraints demonstrated good protection against whiplash injuries in the event of a rear-end collision. Â A geometric assessment of the rear seats also indicated good whiplash protection. Â An autonomous emergency braking system is available as an option.
In the frontal offset test, dummy readings indicated marginal protection of the neck and chest of the 6 year dummy but, otherwise, protection of it and the 10 year dummy was good. Â Protection was also good for all critical body areas for both dummies in the side barrier test. Â The front passenger airbag can be disabled to allow a rearward-facing child restraint to be used in that seating position. Â Clear information is provided to the driver regarding the status of the airbag and the system was rewarded. Â All of the restraint types for which the Fiesta is designed could be properly installed and accommodated.
The bonnet provided good or adequate protection to the head of a struck pedestrian over most of its surface. Â However, weak and poor results were recorded at the base of the windscreen and along the stiff windscreen pillars. Â The bumper provided good protection to pedestrians' legs and the pelvis region was also well protected by the front edge of the windscreen. Â A pedestrian-detecting autonomous emergency braking system is available as an option.
A seatbelt reminder is standard equipment for front and rear seats. Â The Fiesta has as standard a driver-set speed limiter and a lane keeping system which gently steers the car if it detects that the car is drifting out of lane. Â An autonomous emergency braking system is available as an option.
