2009 Ford Fusion Safety Ratings

OVERVIEW:

Anti-lock brakes
ABS brakes automatically sense when a tire has stopped rotating under extreme braking, and will modulate the brake pressure to allow the tire to rotate. This increases the vehicles ability to turn while braking.

Front-impact airbags
Front-impact airbags for the driver and passenger have been designed to protect the head during a frontal crash.

Side impact airbags
Side impact airbags for the front seats have been designed to protect the torso during a side impact collision.

Overhead airbags
Overhead airbags are used to protect the occupant’s heads in the event of a side collision or rollover.

Pretensioners
Seatbelt pretensioners automatically tighten seatbelts to place the occupant in the optimal seating position during a collision.

Security system
The vehicle is equipped with a means of anticipating and/or detecting unwanted vehicle intrusion. The vehicle is equipped with an ignition disable device that will prevent the engine from starting if the correct original manufacturer key is not used.

IIHS Frontal Offset Crash Test
IIHS rates vehicles good, acceptable, marginal, or poor based on performance in high-speed front and side crash tests plus evaluations of seat/head restraints for protection against neck injuries in rear impacts.
