The C-MAX has an advanced braking system to provide total reassurance, whatever conditions you may face. The Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) constantly monitors feedback from each wheel and applies a braking pulse should there be any momentary loss of grip. Meanwhile, Emergency Brake Assist (EBA) guarantees that extra braking pressure is instantly available in case of emergencies. Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and electronic brake-force distribution (EBD) are also fitted as standard, and these combine to ensure that your braking is more controlled, no matter what’s around the next corner.
The C-MAX incorporates an impressive list of safety devices and features that ensure it is a reassuringly safe drive. We have also equipped it with plenty of security features so you don’t have to worry.

Halogen Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFS)
With AFS, the headlights swivel to the left or right according to your speed and the angle of the steering wheel. So as you turn the wheel, the lights adjust to illuminate the road as you take the corner. This boosts forward visibility through bends and creates a safer driving environment.
Auto-headlights
The lighting technology in the C-MAX has been designed to make night-time driving easier, safer and more comfortable. The headlights automatically turn on when the sensors detect a reduction in light conditions, so you won’t need to turn them on at dusk, at night, or when going through a tunnel.
4-star Euro NCAP rating
When Euro NCAP rigorously tested the C-MAX, four stars were awarded both for adult and for child protection.
Intelligent Protection System (IPS)
The C-MAX features IPS that uses innovative sensors to activate the appropriate safety systems, such as all-round airbags, in a split-second. Whether one or five people are travelling IPS means your journey will now be safer than ever before.
The Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) with Traction Assist (TA) helps combat problems that may occur during sudden manoeuvres, helping you to maintain full control of the vehicle. It reacts automatically, if needed, by reducing power or applying a braking force to any wheel that is losing grip. Meanwhile, Emergency Brake Assist (EBA) guarantees that extra braking pressure is instantly available in case of emergencies. Taken together, the advanced braking system provides total reassurance, whatever conditions you may face.
Passive safety features
The C-MAX has a rigid safety cage that is built to reduce the effects of impact in case of collision. There are also full-size front and side airbags for the front passenger and driver, plus side curtain airbags both in the front and rear of the vehicle.
ISOFIX child seat attachments
The safety, comfort and protection of your children is paramount. ISOFIX mounting brackets for child seat attachments can be fitted on the two outer rear seats of the
C-MAX, but you’ll need to specify them when ordering your vehicle.

Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS)
When you find a car that you love to drive, you want to know that your C-MAX will remain safe and secure wherever you park it. That’s why we have incorporated security features such as the perimeter alarm and locks that are high-security, anti-burst and shielded with strengthened mountings.
For extra peace of mind, there’s our patented PATS immobiliser. PATS disables the engine if your key isn’t in the ignition.
