HHHHH

The tested model of Ford Ranger was introduced in Australia and New
Zealand in 2011. This 5 star ANCAP safety rating applies to all variants
built from May 2014. Separate ANCAP safety ratings are available for
variants built prior to this date.
Dual front airbags, head-protecting side curtains, antilock brakes (ABS),
electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD) and electronic stability control
(ESC) are standard on all 5 star variants. Side thorax airbags are also
standard except for single cabs with three front seats (bench seats).
Intelligent seat belt reminders are fitted to both front seats of most
variants however single cab variants with three front seats only have a
driver seat belt reminder. The lack of side thorax airbags and a
passenger seat belt reminder do not affect the 5 star safety rating for
these variants but their overall score reduces to 34.72.
In the frontal offset crash test, driver chest protection was acceptable.
Driver protection was good in the side impact test. Head protection in
the side pole test was good.
OCCUPANT PROTECTION
Frontal Offset Test.
Each body region is scored out of 4 points
Head / neck: 4.00 points
Chest: 3.72 points
Upper legs: 4.00 points
Lower legs: 4.00 points
The passenger compartment held its shape well in the frontal offset test.
Pedal and steering wheel displacements were well controlled. Driver
and passenger contact with the airbags was stable. The vehicle tested
by Euro NCAP had a driver knee airbag that is not available for
Australasian models however Ford provided technical information to
ANCAP which demonstrated that the Australasian models have
comparable upper leg protection to the European model. All doors
remained closed during the crash. After the crash all doors could be
opened with normal effort.
Side Impact Test.
Each body region is scored out of 4 points
Head: 4.00 points
Chest: 4.00 points
Abdomen: 4.00 points
Pelvis: 4.00 points
Good protection was provided for the driver in the side impact test.
Pole Test.
Scored out of 2 points
The vehicle was eligible for a side pole test because it has side curtain
airbags. The vehicle scored the maximum 2 points for head protection in
this test.
Whiplash Protection Test.
Whiplash protection is assessed to the RCAR Protocol
Geometric test: Good
Dynamic test: Acceptable
Overall whiplash rating: Acceptable

PEDESTRIAN PROTECTION
Pedestrian Test.
ACCEPTABLE - Scored 22.98 out of 36 points
Child head impacts: 10.02 points
Adult head impacts: 8.96 points
Upper leg impacts: 4.00 points
Lower leg impacts: 0.00 points
When tested in 2011, the European model earned the highest
pedestrain protection score of any vehicle. However the
Australasian model has a different bumper to Europe. ANCAP
decided to apply a default lower leg score of zero since additional
tests are unlikely to improve the rating to the good rating achieved
in Europe.

* For information about the application of ANCAP ratings to model variants
see the ANCAP Variant Policy. In brief, ratings do not automatically extend to
variants that have different body styles, engine configurations, driven wheels
or occupant restraint systems (e.g. fewer airbags). In these cases ANCAP
considers technical evidence submitted by manufacturers before deciding on
extending a rating to additional variants of a model.
