Not fitted to the test vehicle but available as optionIn the frontal test, forward movement of the 3 year dummy, sat in a forward-facing restraint, was not excessive. In the side impact, both dummies were properly contained by the protective shells of their restraints, minimising the likelihood of head contact with parts of the car interior. When the car was last tested, the passenger airbag could not be disabled. In the current car, the airbag can be disabled by means of a switch to allow a rearward-facing child restraint to be used in that seating position. Clear information is provided to the driver regarding the status of the airbag and the system was rewarded. There are clear warnings of the dangers of using a rearward-facing child seat without first disabling the airbag.

The bumper scored maximum points for the protection it provided to pedestrians' legs. In most areas tested, the front edge of the bonnet also performed well. The bonnet provided predominantly good protection in the areas where a child's head might strike but provided mostly poor protection to the head of an adult.

The Fiesta is unchanged from the previous vehicle in any way that would influence its results in the frontal impact test. Accordingly, the results of that test have been used in the current assessment. The passenger compartment remained stable in the impact. Dummy readings indicated good protection of the knees and femurs of both driver and passenger, the driver benefitting from a knee-protecting airbag. Ford demonstrated that a similar level of protection would be provided to occupants of different sizes and to those sat in different positions. New tests were done to assess the performance of the car in side impact. In the side barrier test, protection was good for all body regions except the chest, protection of which was adequate. In the more severe side pole impact, dummy measurements of rib compression indicated marginal protection. The seat and head restraint provided good protection in the event of a rear-end collision.
