A comprehensive safety package means it offers maximum protection in the event of an accident.

Safety
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.

Standard safety features
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

Optional safety features
  • Passenger's airbag*
  • Side airbags (not available with fold-flat passenger's seat)
  • Traction Assist and rear disc brakes

*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.
