Safety and security
The uncompromising build quality and list of safety features in the Fusion mean you and your family can enjoy greater security when driving. With the anti-theft features we have built in, you will feel totally confident when you leave it.

Because this is an overview of the Ford Fusion, some features mentioned below may be standard across the range whilst others may be optional extras or available only on selected models. Please refer to the full Features and specifications for specific details or contact your Ford Dealer. You can also use our configurator tool to build your perfect Ford Fusion.

Airbags and crumple zones
The Fusion incorporates a tough, steel safety cage, plus side impact door beams for extra rigidity. In addition, the car features innovative sensors that activate the appropriate safety systems in a split second, such as the full-size airbags for both the driver and the front passenger, along with side impact airbags.  Each seat is also fitted with an anti-submarining ramp to prevent you from sliding under the seat belt in case of impact. With all of this technology, you can be confident that you and your family are travelling in one safe car.
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD)
ABS stops the brakes from locking the wheels, which helps prevent skidding if you have to brake when cornering, or need to make an emergency stop. Meanwhile, for stable braking and shorter stopping distances, EBD balances the braking force independently across all four wheels.
Lighting
Headlamp Courtesy Delay means the beams stay on for a short while to provide illumination and extra safety on leaving the car at your destination. As for adverse weather conditions, front fog lights are available to improve your vision and make journeys a lot safer.
Electronic Stability Programme (ESP)
ESP detects sudden changes in steering and braking, helping to prevent loss of direction and control of the vehicle. It reacts automatically when needed, applying the necessary power and braking adjustments to individual wheels, which helps reduce stopping distances in an emergency.
Rain-sensing wipers and auto-headlights
Rain-sensing wipers can be fitted that offer six levels of sensitivity, springing into action automatically at the first drop of rain and increasing in speed to deal with whatever the weather can come up with. Aside from the added convenience, it’s one less thing to have to think about. This option also comes with lighting technology designed to make night-time driving easier, safer and more comfortable. Auto-headlights turn on when the sensors detect a reduction in light conditions, which means you won’t need to turn them on at dusk, at night or when going through a tunnel.
Peace of mind
When you find a car your family takes to its heart, you want to know it will remain safe and secure when you have to leave it parked anywhere. That’s why we have incorporated so many security features. The first line of defence is the perimeter alarm. Then there are the locks: all high-security, anti-burst and shielded with strengthened mountings. For extra measure, there’s our patented Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) immobiliser, which means only your pre-programmed key will start the engine.
