Falcon’s 5 Star, Record Breaking, Safety Rating
Ford Australia’s claims that its new FG Falcon is the safest Falcon ever have proven to be correct, with latest Australian New-Car Assessment Program
(ANCAP) results showing a five star safety rating for the new model - the first time the highest achievable rating has been awarded to an Australian-built car!
Some of the key elements that have contributed to the strong safety results are; the Falcon’s occupant protection abilities, which include a full complement
of airbags, a computer-based crash sensing system normally reserved for more expensive cars and extensive crash testing conducted at Ford’s corporate
headquarters in the United States.
The Falcon features many advanced features, including;
- The first Australian implementation of the Beltminder seatbelt reminder system,
- A rigid passenger safety cell that incorporates Boron and other high-strength steel alloys,
- A crash-sensing system that activates a number of internal safety features, driver fatigue warning systems
- A range of other technologies to help avoid accidents in the first place, such as backup cameras and high-grip tyres.
The total safety package of the five-star rated FG Falcon is enough to put it ahead of the class, not only in the Australian market, but also against some very
tough European competition.
