The Ford Transit Connect van has been designed to offer outstanding vehicle and occupant safety. Advanced computer modelling led to the development of a body structure that combines energy-absorbing crumple zones with a rigid shell for maximum occupant protection.

High-strength steel beams inside the front doors help to prevent intrusion in a side impact, while behind the front bumper is a boron steel cross-member that is designed to absorb and safely channel crash energy away from the occupants.

In addition, all Ford Transit Connect vans benefit from the following standard features:

• Driver's airbag
• Height-adjustable inertia reel seat belts with grabbers and driver's seat belt pre-tensioner
• Anti-lock brakes with electronic brake-force distribution
• Anti-submarining ramps in front seat bases
• Height-adjustable head restraints

*Note: A rear-facing child seat should never be placed in the front passenger seat when the Ford vehicle is equipped with an operational front passenger's airbag.
