COMMENTS
Adult occupant
The passenger compartment remained stable in the frontal impact. Dummy readings indicated good protection of the
knees and femurs of the driver and passenger. Ford showed that a similar level of protection would be provided to
occupants of different statures and to those sat in different positions, whose knees might contact the dashboard in
different places. In the side barrier test, protection of all critical body regions was rated as good except for the chest,
protection of which was adequate. In the more severe side pole test, protection of the chest was marginal. Tests on
the front seats and head restraints, and a geometric assessment of the rear seats, indicated good protection against
whiplash injuries for all seating positions. An autonomous emergency braking system is available as an option, and
works at low speeds typical of city driving. As it is not standard equipment, it was not included in this assessment.
Child occupant
Based on dummy readings in the dynamic crash tests, the Mondeo scored maximum points for its protection of the
1 year dummy, sat in a rearward-facing restraint. In the frontal impact, forward movement of the head of the 3 year
dummy, sat in a forward-facing restraint, was not excessive but marginally elevated neck forces lost the car a fraction
of a point. In the side impact test, both dummies were properly contained within the protective shells of their
restraints, minimising the likelihood of dangerous head contact with the vehicle interior. The front passenger airbag
can be deactivated 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. All of the restraint types for
which the car is designed could be properly installed and accommodated in the car except for the universal group II/III
restraint which could not be stably installed in the rear centre seating position. The Mondeo lost some points
because the universal group 0+/1 seats should not be used in the rear outboard seats if optional seatbelt airbags are
fitted.
Pedestrian
The bumper scored maximum points for its protection of pedestrians' legs, and scored maximum points. However,
the front edge of the bonnet scored no points, providing poor protection to the pelvis region. Tests on the bonnet
surface revealed predominantly good or adequate levels of protection to the head of a struck pedestrian, with poor
results recorded only on the stiff windscreen pillars. Ford's autonomous emergency braking system is available as an
option and can detect pedestrians as well as other vehicles, helping to avoid or to mitigate injuries to pedestrians and
other vulnerable road users. As the system is not standard equipment, it was not included in the assessment.
Safety assist
Electronic stability control is standard equipment on the Mondeo, together with a seatbelt reminder for the front and
rear seats. A combined lane departure warning/lane keeping assistance system is an option. It is expected to be
fitted to most cars sold so it was included in the assessment and met Euro NCAP's requirements. A camera-based
sign recognition system provides information about the relevant speed limit to the driver who can then set the speed
limiter appropriately. An autonomous emergency braking system is available that works from low, city-type speeds to
the higher speeds typical of open-road driving. The system is not expected to meet fitment requirements so it was
not included in the assessment.
