Comments:

Mondeo was tested earlier in 2001, and the results were published in November of the same year. The manufacturer then announced changes that demanded a re-test. The car strongly endured the strikes, but criticized for the fragile body design and relatively high loads on the chest driver and passenger. With the exception of these moments, Mondeo provided routine sediments during front and side blows, and the protection of children was at a high level.

Front punch:

An improved security system has lost his head and a chest driver from contact with a steering wheel, however, the price of a relative high load on the chest. Under the steering wheel, rigid areas were found, threatening damage to the knees and the hips of the driver. However, modifications in this area have been significantly corrected. The central seat of the seat of the seats was equipped with a three-point seat belt, providing much better protection compared to the waist.

Security of passenger children:

The 18-month passenger was located in the children's chair "against the direction of movement", and 3-year-old - "forward face." The chairs well protected their saddles in front of the front and side blows and were very close to get the highest marks in all categories. All the case was spoiled bad to perceive the pictogram on the edge of the front panel, warning about the inadmissibility of the placement of the children's chair "against the direction of movement" at the front of the front passenger with an active security pillow. This also reported a text reminder in English, French and Spanish, located on the sunscreen visor of the passenger and visible in the closed position of the visor. The text there was a mention of the possibility of obtaining severe and fatal damage.

Side strike:

Basic equipment equipped with side pillows and security curtains. This duet was well defended by the driver and the rear passenger from the side of the strike.

Pedestrian safety:

Pedestrian protection was evaluated by the old technique, and the re-test was not carried out on a new technique.
