> 2012 fiesta Features: Safety

The Fiesta comes with seven standard airbags* and is the first in its class to offer a driver's knee airbag.** This airbag inflates between the driver's knees and the instrument panel to help provide protection in a crash. Extending through both rows of seats are also side-curtain airbags. They feature roll-fold technology, which is designed to inflate between the window glass and passenger's head. This helps keep the curtain against the glass and offers head protection in side impacts for all outboard seating positions. In fact, when combined with the front-seat side airbags, the side-curtain airbags help provide protection for both head and chest in certain side-impact collisions. Side-curtain airbags will not interfere with a properly installed child safety seat or booster seat.

*Always wear your safety belt and secure children in the rear seat.
**Class is Compact Cars

Thanks to boron, an element used in the aerospace industry, the safety cage is incredibly strong to help provide protection in the areas you need it most. It's one more way the Fiesta raises the bar on safety.

The standard Tire Pressure Monitoring System in Fiesta notifies you via a message on the instrument panel when you need to add air to your tires. Excludes spare tire.

The integrated blind spot mirrors help reduce rear-vision blind spots where you could possibly not see vehicles. These convex mirrors are included in the traditional exterior sideview mirror design.

AdvanceTrac® ESC automatically applies the brakes and modulates engine torque whenever it detects wheelslip, and helps avoid skidding and fishtailing by controlling understeer and oversteer.39 It also helps maintain control under conditions such as ice, gravel or rain, providing more confident stopping power.

By using your mobile phone, 911 Assist™28 helps put you directly in touch with a 911 operator - bypassing intermediary call centers - and if you're unable to speak, the system delivers an urgent message to the emergency operator. The system is triggered by airbag deployment or fuel pump shutoff.
